THE SPIDER NVEB WHAGT llFllRllE9SlllilllMlllIE9lINIl Cill'lll'lIlllllINllllK.' QEWO freshman girls were standing in the hall watching their fellow students pass by. Their noses were turned up in an important sort of way as if to say-we're l1Ot so dumb even if we are freshmen. One suddenly spoke up, There goes that 'Bus' Sowers. He sure thinks he is smart since he got to playing basketball. He used to speak to me but he doesn't bother to any more. Not that I care though! You sure said a mouthful, answered the other. And would you look at Hazel Higan. There are three boys talking to her. She's cute but I don't like her. Same here. Say 'Red' Huston sure is cute, isn't he? He's just a picture in that blue sweater of his. I like 'Pink' jordan, too. He's so nice and friendly. Yes, everyone likes 'Pink'. Would you look at Kenneth Riordan! He's just a scream. Always doing something funny. Marguerite Thompson seems awful nice, too. So quiet and dignified like. Do you suppose she's very smart? Say that's Monita O'Neil and Sylvia Levin with her, isn't it? I like Monita all right but Sylvia is always talking. They stood idly watching for a few minutes. Excitedly one said, There's john Wetzel down there talking to Arretta again. They make a cute couple, don't you think? Oh lookee! Here comes Goldie Larner and David Brown. Do you suppose it's true they had a quarrel? Yeah, they had a quarrel all right. Mary told me all about it. Isn't that Chatterton girl a case! She and Catherine Bartley giggle all the time. I think freshmen act better. They aren't always trying to show off. You don't see us always laughing like Doris Stump does. I don't know. Look how Weist Mikesell and Robert Smith act in the study hall and then some of the freshmen girls act just like the others. The seniors are awful smarties but they are all right. Wheefefe-- Maxine Henderson has another new dress. She sure wears good look' ing clothes. She's kind of plump though, don't you think? 'Herk' Williams is on the basket ball team, too, isn't he? Who's that girl he's talking to? There is a stretching of necks for a minute. Oh, it's Lillian Shenor. For heaven's sake! Look at those boys coming now. That bunch is always trying to make Mr. Quick mad. Who are they? Oh, it's only 'Bus' Reed, Loren Volker, Ralph Campbell, George Creasey and Lyman Hainline. Say, do you know who that girl is that Ralph takes home at noon? ff.,-s.,.'-,.f-.,f-.,.'f-.,.'f+r is 1+A.,ff-,.-As.,ff.,.f-.,ff.,,-

No mate nor comrade did she know, This maiden, Jenny Lee. Each day she watched the big waves roll And the sea gulls lightly sway, Oh! she thought, If I could be so free And swiftly fly away. One day while sitting by the shore. A ship in the distance she spied. Oh, who comes here! Oh, who comes here l The gentle maiden cried. Few men have ever ventured To cross this angry sea. Oh, maybe it's a lover bold Who's coming seeking me. When the ship was anchored And the captain did alight, He was a handsome gallant man And she loved him at first sight. For three long months she loved him And hoped within her heart, That she would be the captain's wife Before he did depart. When at last the sad day came For her love to cross the sea, He said he must go back to his wife. What a shock to Jenny Leel Poor jenny was heartbroken. Her lover had a wife. So in her snow white bosom, She plunged the fatal knife. -fessie Wilcoxen. f Q f Q - - - f.,' gf'-,,f'M 14 1+ff.,A.,.-'A.,. .,.'-.,.'-f.,f 5

Oh, by the way, did you see Cedric Ringer talking to Frances Woodworth this morning? Do you suppose she would go with him? I don't know whether she would or not. There's Ruth Anderson talking to Maurice McGinnis. She'd be cute if it weren't for her nose. Her cousins are good looking, don't you think? She thinks we freshmen are too dumb to realize that they are cousins. Oh, well, we should worry. Say, did you see Maurice Peterson talking toe just then the warning bell began to ring and both hurried away to their advisories. They had not stayed long enough to see the wild stampede of seniors when the tardy bell began to ring. fLouise fordine.

With thy red cheeks redder made By the rouge so deftly laid, With thy eyebrows plucked so thin, Modern flappers think no sin. From my heart I grant no joyg How I wish thou'd been a boy! Child thou art-though old thou seem'st On dad's purse too hard thou lean'st. In the Whoopee dost thou ride With a dumb shiek by thy side. Thou love'st more than he can buy, Cars and finery piled up high. Outward pleasureg ignorant blissg Mercy on thee, little miss! CWith due apology to J. G. Whittierj. !Cla'rice Moore.
