Sixty-four The Spectator Liz is thinking of Eric, oh, what joy, He's that little drummer boy. This is your Station P. U. Signing off because we're through. . The Freshman Exchange Column IT'S always interesting to see what the younger generation is do- ing. Therefore I particularly enjoy reading Palmetto Leafves, pub- lished by the lower grades of Country Day School. These boys and girls seem really enthusiastic about their magazine, judging from the large number of contributions, and they write their class and club news so interestingly. The designs and illustrations are chosen by contest and colored by hand. One of the best magazines we receive is The Clio from Miss Beard's School in Orange, N. J. It is a school rather like ours, a girls' private school, with boarders and day students. The literary material is all good, and seems to be really chosen, not just a hodge- podge of anything handed in. All the clubs, of which there are many, hand in news reports, and the magazine really gives a com- plete picture of the school to any outsider. The only criticism I might have is that the art work is not up to the standard set by the rest of the magazine. Most of our other exchanges have been newspapers, which are interesting to read because of the glimpse they give you into different kinds of schools from your own. However, there's not much to criticize in the way of literary or art work, and I certainly couldn't pass on to you all the news that these papers gatherin every week. -So I'll pass over these with a word of praise to Brier Bits, from Greenbrier College in West Virginia. This paper reports school life and events especially well. This term's exchanges have been quite scarce, so that covers just about everything. It seems to be time to sign off, this time for good, so . . . so long!

The Spectator Sixty-three Who's the Freshie glamour girl? Wouldn't you like to know? She's the one that has the curl, Our Jane, with all her beaus. Edith has a brother Who takes her everywhere. What would Edith do If Sammy wasn't there? We've got two cute couples in our band, There's slugger Walter, and Knock 'em out Rana. And there's Sarah who has a gleam in her eye When she sees Kennedy walking by. Roses are red, Violets are blue, Taffy likes boys, They like her, too. Mary Margaret and Dottie, too, Have their steadies, I'm telling you, One is Searcy modernized, The other is Charlie quite glamourized. Miss Legeai, tell me, pray, Why art thou so sad? Could it be that Miss Boulet Has taken your Bishop lad? Who does Donnie-really like? The truth we can not find. We've heard a lot of rumors, But what's really on her mind? What's the news about Louie da Dago? We hear that he and Yvonne are quite dat way . He can't speak English, he ain't got dough, But you got to love someone to be in the sway.

The Spectator Sixty-five alias All those who think our jokes are poor Would straightway change their views If they compare the ones we print With the ones that we refuse. Another time when two heads are better than one is when you're tossing a coin. Birds of one feather ought to catch cold. Sally has a bird-like quality about her. Yes-crow's feet. Go, leave my house and never darken my guest towel again. Everything comes to him who orders hash. A green little chemist In a green little way Mixed some green little chemicals In a green little way. The green little grasses Now tenderly wave On the green little' chemist's Green little grave. Stop reaching across the table, son. Haven't you got a tongue? Yes, sir, but my arm is longer. He: Did you know that dancing was in my blood? She: Your circulation must be bad. It hasn't reached your feet yet. Joe: Why doesn't the devil eat ice-cream? Blow: I don't know. Why? Joe: Where in hell would he get it? 0 I' ll O O
