NE night, while sitting in the win- dow of my room, I saw the kindly face of the moon outside and I wondered if he had seen us while we were on our trip, and as if in answer to my thoughts he said:- On the evening of March 25, I was watching the Plymouth steam up Long Island Sound. The faces of some of the passengers looked like very dear friends and putting on my specs, Isaw the Sen- ior class of Madison High School. They were talking and laughing and admiring my rays across the water. CI confess I did look beautiful that night.D I saw Miss Wilber leaning over the rail and heard someone ask 'Has the moon come up yet?' to which she replied 'No, but everything else has.' I never thought that of Miss Wilber for she has always been one of my ardent admirers, but I have forgiven her for I know just how she felt. Wl1ileI was watching, some of the boys and girls separated and walked 'away in groups of two or four-never three. I don't understand that, for girls are such dear things that I should think boys would like to have a lot around. I know Fletcher agrees with me because I saw him with three girls and they weren't Madison girls either. CHe said they were his cousinsj My attention was distracted from the party on the boat while settling a dis- pute between two of the youngest stars and when Inext looked I saw that the girls had all gathered on the upper deck and were dancing the barn dance. They were having a lovely time when the cap- tain came up and sent them below say- ing iOther people would like to havea little sleep if you wouldn't. Katie had been sea sick and had retired earlier in the evening and when the girls went to their staterooms they found her lying on the floor, sucking a lemon, a fruit which I don't imagine I'd like. I don't think it would go well with cheese. Mildred, Ethel and Katie had one stateroom, and Mary, Gertrude and Lucy had the one next to theirs. The rest of the girls had rooms up the corridor but as they were seasick or went right to sleep I watched the others. b All the girls were desirous of sleep excepting Gertrude and Mary, especially Mary. She was very happy and she and Gertrude conversed in low tones. 2 THE BOUNCER Mildred, from the next stateroom, rude- ly punctuated all their remarks with, 'Shut up, please.' At about one o'clock Mary was hungry and decided to have some lunch. She made Lucy get out of her berth to find her something eatable evidently the thought of eating made Gertrude sea- sick for she imagined she was going to die. She opened the door of her state- room to go into Katie's room after a lemon, but what was her surprise to find a :nan asleep before her door, and look- ing down the corridor she saw many more men asleep on the floor. This terrified her so that she forget her sea- sickness and began to sing which called a reprimand, from Ethel, down on her shoulders. Prowling around the room, she found some life preservers under the berth and wanted to kllOW if Mary didn't think she'd be safer if she put one on. Mary replied that they were more safe than comfortable but if she wished to put one on she could. She decided to take her chances with the rest and at last went back to bed. just then Halley's comet began to act out and I had to spank it. When I re- turned to the boat I found that Mary had told Gertrude and Lucy that if they wished to see the harbor they had better get up because it was six o'clock. They tumbled out of their berths and started to dress, but thru some mismanagement Gertrude found her watch and saw that it was only two o'clock, so they went back to bed very disgusted. They pun- ished Mary for her fun by poking her thru the bottom of her berth. They spent the rest of the morning in talking and laughing much to the dis- gust of their neighbors. I can tell you what I saw while they were in Wash.- just then my mother entered the room and sent me to bed. I have never had an opportunity to hear the moon finish his last remark but sometime I shall and I hope to hear how we acted in Wash- ington, and to see myself as others saw me. M. B. P. '10 A Broken Bed in Washington. T WAS between one and two A. M. one night in Washington. The greater part of the large city was slum- bering. In the hotel, Regent, where tourists were staying, only a stray light could be seen thruout the building. However, if one had passed in and taken the elavator up to room 222, third floor, front, they would have seen no signs of slumber. The room was brilliantly lightedg five girls in kirnonas were talk- ing and laughing, no signs of going to bed were visible. Katie and Ethel were stretched out on one bed, eating chocolate almonds and talking. Mary was picturesquely bal- anced on the foot-board, with candy in one hand and a glass of water in the other, Gertrude was standing idle order- ing everyone to look for her pocket book: Mildred had just finished combing her hair for the night. Suddenly she turned and with the warning cry, Look out, 1,111 coming girls, landed in the middle THE BOUNCER 3 of the bed. ' It was a splendid leap, worthy of an athlete, but the consequences were dis- astrous. There was a crash, slam! bang! and then complete silence. The silence was soon broken by mingled cries of terror and laughter from the girls. Horror was plainly written on all their faces. Mary became so amazed that she held her tumbler upside down without perceiving the difference. Gertrude, being the least concerned, soon broke the terrible silence with, The bed has bust. Whereupon she went into shrieks of laughter, all soon joined in, that is, all except Mildred. Bust, cried Mildred, I should say it had it's not only busted it's smashed, and so it had, tl1e head board was off, the slats out, the side boards down. Well, said Katie, between shrieks of laughter, I suppose we'd better fix it. I rather guess we, had, responded Ethel, that bed belongs to Mildred and meg do you think we'll sleep. on the floor! Here girls, continued Mildred, come out of it now and help fix this, it may strike you as funny but I say its no laughing matter. Let's get to work. Oh, Gene Crene!! I can't my back is so lame lamented Gertrude. Lame, what do you think of me, said Mary, why, I've got five blisters on one foot. VVhile they were discussing aches and pains the others set to work. Both mat- tresses were pulled olf and about adozen pillows which were tucked in around the edges. Gracious, Ethel cried, those things must be stuffed with lead, l'1l bet they weigh two ton. Cheer up, said Gertrude from her comfortable position on the other bed, you'l1 get some dirt out of them and then they will be lighter. She was quickly subdued by angry words from the workers. Now all together girls and we'll get it. Come, Mary and Gertrude, you've got to help, I guess youlll both survive, said Mildred. There! Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, we've got it 110W and if we can only get those blamed old mattresses on we'll be alright. But they were not fated to get the mattresses on, for just then someone moved the table which was proping up the foot board and smash! the whole thing went down again. Gertrude, who was the one luckless enough ta move the table, fairly trembled under the storm of anger. Katie seemed ready to burst, Heavens Gertrude, if youkl worked about ten hours Hxing a bed Iguess you'd be more careful. You can just set it up yourself now, I won't! Get some of tl1e boys to come in and fix it, timidly suggested Gertrude. Gee and do you think Miss Wilber would let us have boys in here at this time of night? Most people would have more sense Mildred observed sarcastic- ally. I'll go ask her, said Katie, seeing that a quarrel was brewing, perhaps she will let us. After Katie had gone the room was 4 THE BOUNCER still, glaring glances were cast at each other but no one quite dared to break the awful silence. Five minutes passed and Katie was heard returning. Everyone looked at her in expectation but they were met with a black frown and Plague it all, she won't let us have any boys in here. Why not? snapped Mildred. I Oh, continued Katie, she asked if our costumes were appropriate, and fgigglingl I said we could go in the clothes press while they were here. She said we could get a porter tho. I'll ring, said Mary promptly, placing her hand on the bell. No you don't, Mildred sprang up in alarm, 'ido you suppose I'll have that porter up here and have him charge me eight or ten dollars for a bed when I've only got thirty-three cents to get to Madison on? We'll nx it ourselves and you'll help. Come get busy now. Everyone did get busy, except Ger- trude and fifteen minutes of long, hard labor ensued. Sharp words new in every direction, nobody dared venture a joking remark. ' At last, it was put together, after a fashion, by placing a large chair and table against the foot board. Everyone was too tired to say any- thing. Ethel heaving a sigh climbed in- to the bed and sang out, good-night.' Mary and Katie got into their bed. Gertrude and Mildred were left up. Where in the world will I sleep, in- quired Mildred, I don't dare get into that bed again. Oh, I have it, I'1l sleep in the big chair. Here Ethel, give mea blanket and pillow. In spite of all protestations Mildred settled down in the big chair. Soon the room was still and in darkness. Mil- dred's sleepy voice from the chair re- marked, Gee, but I'm comfortablef' In the morning good humor was com- pletely restored and everyone, even Mil- dred, was ready to pass on the story of the broken bed, as a great joke. Dressing was a short affair and they rushed out to tell the rest of the crowd. Mary, however, not being ready was left behind. Soon the chamber-maid came in. Good mornings, were ex- changed and the maid approached the luckless bed. VVhy, she cried, 'ithis down! Do Down! ' you can't see I came she dashed bed looks as tho it had been you know anything about it? exclaimed Mary, 'iwhy-er, prove anything by nie, you in late last evening, and down the corridor. E. M. B. '10 Arlington. LL who wished to go to Arlington were to leave Hotel Regent at four o'clock. For some reason, some of the crowd went ahead, so at the appointed time there were only four who wished to go. We boarded a car, went to the end of the line, transferred to Acqueduct Bridge where' we bought our tickets to Arlington. When we entered the car, we found the others who had started ahead of us, and had had to wait until THE BOUNCER 5 our car arrived. At the next station we took a wagon- ette and went through Fort Myer's gate into The Arlington National Cemetery. The lawns were green, some of the early flowers were in bloom, and the foliage of the trees and shrubs made the place very beautiful. The most impressive sight at Arling- ton is that of the field of the dead where the tombstones stretch away farther than eye can see. These are set in rows uniform in distance one from the other, arrayed in order,-a silent army of 1-6,000 strong. Under the hill 'by the Ord and Weitzel gate, is another field which contains 5,000 graves. At the south there is the Temple of Fame, an open, circular colonadeg the coriuce bears the names of Washington, Lincoln, Grant and Farragut, on the columns in large letters are those of Thomas, Meade, McPherson, Sedgewick, Reynolds, Humphreys, Garfield, and Manfield. At different places about the grounds are bronze tablets inscribed with stanzas from The Bivouac of the Dead. Near the Temple of Fame stands au- other memorial, the monument of the .Unknown Dead. ' Two thousand one hundred eleven nameless soldiers are here gathered in one common grave. Another section of the ground is re- served for officers. Here are memorials of those who fought in the civil war and earlier battles. In the center of the field is a sylvan temple, where the services of Decoration Day are held. It is an am- phitheater formed by an embankment of earth. After visiting many sections of Arling- ton we arrived at Arlington House, formerly Lee's Mansion, into which we went. In the room on the left was a register where we all wrote our names. On the walls are hung sketch plans of the cemetery, also different framed copies of addresses and orations, one being President Lincoln's 'iGettvsburg Ad- dress. We opened the gate at the foot of the stairway and were about halfway upstairs, when our attention was called to the fact that there was a sign on the gate saying that it was closed to vfsitorsg so we did not succeed in going upstairs. We then went outdoors where we saw a greenhouse, the entrance to which was closed. We walked out to the flagstaff and saw the Potomacg on the other side were Georgetown and Washington. The wagonette having returned we set out to go to the hotel. The party who had started ahead from the hotel, had not bought any round trip tickets so they decided to return another way. After reaching the small station, they waited but a few minutes for their car. We had to wait a little longerg during our stay we saw an airship, which they were trying to make ascend, we also talked with a soldier from Fort Myer who told us about the different buildings. Hearing the bugle call we were in hopes to see the fiag salute which was to come soon after, butjust then our car came in -sight and we started for the hotel having had a most delightful after- noon. Surely anyone who visits Wash- ington ought not to overlook a visit to 6 THE BOUNCER Arlington, Our National Cemetery, G. E. F. '10 The Capitol. UR National Capitol is situated on Capitol Hill ninety-seven feet above the level of the Potomac river, where it can be seen for many miles around. The most noticeable part of the build- ing is the dome, which supports a large light crowned by, the Statue of Freedom, towering three hundred and eighty seven and one half feet above the esplandel The building is constructed of Virgin- ian sandstone. It is seven hundred and fifty-one feet, four inches in length, three hundred and fifty feet in width and covers a space of three and one half acres. Thebuilding faces the east, but it is usually approached from the western entrance. The walk extends across the lawns to a flight of steps which ascend to the open extending along the west front and north and south ends. A second flight of stairs leads to the rotun- da. The three east entrances are -ap- proached by marble steps leading to porticoes with large columns. The center portico is the scene of inaugura- tions. The main entrance leads into the rotunda which is in the center of the building. The walls are adorned with magnificient historic paintings, sculp- tures and frescoes, such as, The De- claration of Independence, The Sur- render of Burgoyne, etc. Above these is the frieze three hundred feet in cir- cumference. The top of the dome is reached by a winding stairway. From this point the view is magnificient. As one passes from the rotunda he next enters Statuary Hall, semi-circular in shape and one of the most beautiful rooms in the Capitol. In this hall above the door leading from the rotunda is the famous Franzonis Clock. Ranged around the room are statues and portrait busts contributed by various states. This was once the old Hall of Representatives. The new Hall of Representatives, in the south wing, is a legislative chamber unsurpassed in the world. It is lighted by a ceiling of glass. The speakers desk occupies an elevated position in the cen- ter of the south sideg around it in semi- circles are desks for the members. Open- ing off the hall, back of the Speaker's desk, are the House lobby and the mem- bers retiring rooms. Around the room above are the galleries reached by mag- nificent stairways. The Supreme Court Room is another semi-circular room. Here may he seen the benches of the Supreme Courtg the chair of the Chief justice in the center and those of his eight associates on each side. . The Senate Chamber is also a semi- circular hall. It is immense in size and lighted by a glass ceiling. The senators seats are arranged in concentric rows. The President's desk is on the north side, on the right of his desk is that of the sergeant-at-arms, on the left, that of the assistant door keeperg and in front are the desks of the clerks and official THE BOUNCER 7 reporters. The hall is surrounded by large galleries. Connected with the chamber are: the President's room, Vice President's room, Senator's Reception room, Public Reception room and the room of the Committee on the Distridt of Columbia. The Presidents room is set apart for his use on visits to the Capitol. It is beautifully decorated with paintings of the presidents. The building is altogether beautiful and impressive in its design and cannot fail to arouse patriotic interest. AMOS STEELE When We Met the President at the White House. cc ELL US something about your trip to Washington. These were about the first words that greeted me, on my arrival home from that great and glorious city. What should I tell them about first? This question came to me many times. There was so much to tell and everything was so interesting I hardly knew where to begin, but finally after due meditation I decided on what seemed to me to be the grandest thing of all, When we meet the Presi- dent at the White House. Thursday, the last day of March, and also the last day of our stay in Washing- ton, was the one upon which we were to meet the President. The White House is open to visitors from 10 A. M. until 2 P. M. and, as we wished to be among the first to have the honor of meeting President Taft, our party started out shortly before nine. After a short walk we arrived at the stately mansion known as the White House. As not all of our party were with us we agreed to wait for them on the steps of the State War and Navy Building just east of the executive man- sion. From here we could see every- thing that was taking place in front of the White House. Crowds of people were already slowly gathering and after waiting about half an hour we decided that if we were going to meet the President we would have to be moving. As we passed through the crowd an otiicer informed us that if we wished to see the President we would have to line up in double file. This we crowd followed our line extended down did. Soon all the example, and the the street as far as the eye could see. After another half hour of tiresome waiting had passed, the doors of the White House opened, and it was an- nounced that the President was ready to meet the people, but he would first re- ceive those from the State of Maine. So those people who had crowded up front were made to step back while the Maine people came to the front. The line moved very slowly, but after a minute or two we entered the long hall of the W'hite House. Here we were obliged to go in single file. Guards were stationed at every turn, and as we came to the third bend of the hall we were told to announce our name as we passed by the President's Secretary. This we 8 THE BOUNCER did, and before we knew it we were standing in front of the President. I re- cognized him at once from his picture and when I shook his hand he seemed like an old acquaintance, nevertheless after exchanging only a few words with him I was obliged to pass on and let someone else take my place. Before I reached the next bend in the hall I overheard the following conversa- tion, Aren't we ever going to meet the President. Oh I'm so tired, and have come such a long way. I should think they would have different arrangements, I can't stand it much longer. Why how do you do is this President Taft? I'm Mrs. Smith from Augusta. I'm awful glad to see yon, and I guess you would be glad to see me too if you knew how far I had to come, and what a hard time Ihad getting here. I did not have a chance to catch the President's reply, but I wondered if he were as pleased as he looked, and before I realized it we were once more out of doors. We then passed around to the east side through a colonnade filled with numer- ous kinds of 'palms and ferns. From thence we crossed to the basement corri- dor on the walls of which are hung por- traits of the mistresses of the White House. Here also are exhibited the different specimens of historic White House china. These are enclosed in glass cases to prevent them from being carried away or injured. From the long corridor we passed up the stairs to the famous East Room. The decorations of the walls and ceiling are in white and gold, with moldings and tablet ornamentation in, reliefg the window draperies are of old gold. Four handsomely carved mantels, one on each wall are surmounted by mirrors which reilecft the light from all sides. Most noticeable of all are the three massive crystal chandeliers which depend from the ceiling. While here we were told that if we wished to see the remainder of the rooms we must wait until twelve o'clock. Only a few of the party stayed, however, but those who did felt fully paid for their trouble. We waited about three quarters of an hour. The room was so filled with peo- ple that some were obliged to stand, while others sat on the floor. At last the doors were opened and we fell into line and passed out through the hall at the head of the stairs to the dining room. The State dining room is paneled in dark English oak and decorated with the heads of American big game. The white marble mantel is surmounted by an old Flemish tapestry depidting a country scene, and having in a panel a verse from Virgil in praise of hunting. In the center of the room, on a large art square, stands a massive mahogany table that will seat nearly one hundred guests. We were allowed to have just a peep in- to this room, for if we looked more than a minute the guard near by would say:-- Pass on! pass on, and let someone else have a look. From the dining room we passed to the Green Room. The Green Room has green velvet hangings and while enamel wainscoting. In front of the white marble mantel is a THE BOUNCER V 9 screen of old Gobelin tapestry in a frame of gold, surmounted by a spread eagle. The portraits of Presidents, John Adams, john Quincy Adams, Jackson, Tyler, Harrison, Van Buren, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln and Hayes decorate the walls. We passed by this magnificent room to the Red Room. The walls and window draperies of the Red Room are of red velvet and the room contains the portraits of George and Martha Washington, presidents jefferson, Polk and Benjamin Harrison. Conspicuous among the furnishings of this room is a cabinet of mahogany and gold, this contains seven exquisitely dressed japanese dolls which were pre- sented to Mrs. Roosevelt by the japanese Minister. We stopped here only a min- ute and then passed on to the Blue Rcom. .The Blue Room, oval in shape, is the President's reception room. The walls are covered with rich blue corded silk, and the window hangings are blue with golden stars in the Lipper folds. On the mantel is a clock of gold pre- sented by Napoleon to Lafayette and by him to Washington. On each side stand the bronze vases presented to Washington at the same time, and here also are the two triple gold plated can- delabra which were given to President jackson by General Patterson of Phil- adelphia. . From here we passed out by the same wav that we had entered. We then hastened to our hotel and arrived just in time for lunch. -Lucy A. Pease '10 A Class History 1910. HE first week of our stay in Mad- ison High was one which will al- ways be remembered by our class. We all dreaded the awful and painful tortures which were to be inflicted upon us, the first Friday night. Alas! Our vivid and horrible anticipations were all for naught because the torture was put oft another week in order that we might have the use of the electric lights then being in- stalled in the building. So we passed into the next long week before we should be delivered to our fates. Shakespeare says, that-- Cowards die many times before their deaths. If this statement be true, then we were certainly cqrpses, but since we will have you understand that the class of 1910 is far from dead, we will lay the mistake to Shakespeare and will trust that he offers no objection. When the psychological moment had arrived, nothing so very dreadful hap- pened. We were put through a few childish antics which afforded great amusement to the spectators assembled in the building, and we were then allow- ed to go upon our ways nnmolested. The rest of the first year was spent in mutual admiration and awe of the upper- classmen and in reading roasts against us in the Bouncer where we were called green, fresh, gawky etc. etc., much to our pleasure. Our initation of the Freshmen in our second year, was a very tame affair-so tame, in fact that the practice was en- tirely done away with and it was decided 10 THE BOUNCER to give a reception instead. VVC have been giving receptions ever since-but the real performance of the evening comes after the scheduled affair. In our third year, the school base ball team contained six of our class, among whom were the captain and manager. We also had the honor of defeating the Seniors in a debate, thereby adding to our glory. The year is noted in our memory and will always remain so, be- cause at that time we became the ruling factor in the school where, formerly, we had always been treated as subordinates and as beneath the notice of the upper classes, we were now literally and figura- tively, It, in the eyes of the rest of the school. The affair of the year came on May 8, when we tendered a reception to the class of aught-nine, in the High School building. One thing concerning the event was very noticeable. It was that more people came up to help tear down the decorations, the next morning, then had helped decorate on the day be- fore. For this, we blame the three gal- lon can of ice cream, which was left over from the feed. , Our last year in school has been the most glorious and epoch-making of our existence. Our standing was made se- cure last November when we trimmed the Juniors soundly in a very one-sided game of foot ball. Early in the year, we 'decided to go to Washington, instead of having the reg- ular graduation. This trip, we can truly and unanimously say, was the time of our lives, and most of us will date time from the event. Now that we have practically com- pleted our high school course, we have many good reasons to regret that we must separate, for we have certainly made a mark for ourselves during our four years' course-but good friends must part sometime. With the object in view, of giving this old world a push before we have it, may the individual members of the class re- member that the only way to overcome everything and to make success certain, is to Row, not drift.

If these, or part of them, man- age to pass in their chosen subjects and succeed in being enrolled, the High School stands a very good show of hav- ing her name placed upon the certified list, and, as you all know, this is what we have been trying to have done ever since we have been members of the school. Whether we succeed or not, depends mostly upon those taking the exams, for the courses taught here, the manner in which the building is kept, and the strength and character of our faculty and student body, certainly pro- vide the necessary qualifications and place our school far above the average. A Saner Fourth. GREAT deal of disturbance has been created lately, by some of our worthy agitators, toward the observance of Fourth of july in a way that would be saner and safer for all concernedf- at least, this is the way they put it. Their idea is to lessen the great number of accidents by the abolition of fireworks. Now, as the Spectator says, A great deal may be said on both sides of this question. In our mind, however, it would seem more advisable and expedient to study out a little more thoroughly the way in which most of the accidents oc- cur. For instance, here is one boy, who has held a ten-inch, lighted, cracker in his hand and watched it explode, and then another has shot a blank cartridge into the palm of his hand, while trying to pound in with a rock or a hammer, a shell which did not fit, and still another, who has pointed a sky-rocket or a Roman candle at himself and lighted it. Now, as anybody will admit, the above are specific instances which show how the majority of our 'iFourth of july Casual- ties occur, and yet good, honest, in- telligent, deep-thinking, men will shout for the abolition of fireworks, just be- cause they are allowed to be sold to children by dealers with an eye only for personal profit, or because the children acl like fools, once they are in possession of the explosives, You will find, too, that the greater part of those who have been injured are between the ages of eight and fifteen years, when they certainly ought to show a little common sense re- garding their use. It might help a little if some of our loudest shouters for a Saner Fourth, should tirst find a Hsaner people to enjoy it. School Notes. We have had socials and suppers galore during the past school year and it would be a waste of time and space to enumerate them in detail, so we will go over only the more important ones. Lucia's Lover was put on success- fully on March eleven, by some of the girls. The parts were especially well taken and the setting and stage fixtures were also very good. In the debate with Skowhegan High THE BOUNCER 13 on Marcl1 eighteenth, which was men- tioned in our last issue, Skowhegan had the better of us in the summing up of argumentation, delivery and in general appearance. The Hnal summary was 42 to 40W. Messrs Issac Higginbotham and Harry Kidder of Colby College, and Mr. Mallet, principal of Farmington State Normal School acted as judges for the question. Our next great event was the trip to Washington, the details of which have been very fully covered in our literary department. Ou the evening of May twentieth the annual Junior-Senior Reception was held at the school building. After the reception a short program was carried out which was as follows: Piano Solo, Ella Hilton Summer Evening, Double Trio Reading, Myrtle Danico Violin Solo. Robert Dinsmore Piano Duet, Violet McFarland and Amey johnson Refreshments were served and the evening was spent in playing games. The first Junior Exhibition ever held in Madison was given june tenth by the class 'of 1911 ill the Congregational church. The church was well filled and was prettily decorated i11 the class colors and potted plants. The following pro- gramme was well carried out.

Mr. Partridge-QTO the Fresh Algebra classl Anyone would think that you had forgotten all that you ever knew about Algebra. Miss Gower-- Who is your mind up- on more, Miss Emery, Mr. Rushworth or me? We infer that Miss Gower is always THE BOUNCER I5 looking-out for her supper because in- stead of translating The Summer was nearly gone in Cmsar, she read it The Supper was nearly gone,', this together with other instances nearly proves the statement. Q Miss Sawyer-fTranslating Frenchl Do you remember how the silent lake skimmed the swallow? WANTED An extra period in which to read love letters. W.

Miss Gower-Cln Physiologyl Why is it that animals can move their ears more easily than people? Miss Frazier- Because they are more in practice. Mr. Carpenter- A fellow's happier going up than when he's coming down. It seems that the Washington Pajama Parade was especially interesting to the lookersson when Mr. Fletcher appeared. Mr. Carlson-Always in Dreamland. Miss Hamilton- They told Ivanhoe that he must take ot? his head but he didn't want to. v WANTED A position to manufacture gold bowed spectacles. R. Fletcher Did Mr. Vose enjoy the first part of his Washington trip? Ask him. For the latest French pronunciations inquire of Mr. Perkins. We wonder if Miss Sawyer has found out what provender means yet. The Seniors thought that lemons were cheaper in Madison than in Washington and for that reason they took a good supply with them. Miss Gower- Will you dictate that to nie? Miss Young- Shall I read it? Was a Senior ever known to lose a bet? 16 ' THE BOUNCER Mr. Caldwell likes Portland quite well or rather, he likes the girls of the place.

I THE BOUNCER 17 Miss Emery-Cln Physiologyl I thought that it you hurt anyone's heart they would die. Miss Gower- Oh no, not always. There was a young sport named Pease Whom the boys all delighted to tease, He went out in the park One night after dark ' And was returned to his home by police. Two persons named Mary and Kate Used to fight both early and late, The rows were so bad, In fact, they have had No settlement up to this date. The fact to relate is quite sad, Miss l,Vi1ber was taken so bad, When the Steward, said he, Will you have some more tea? She replied, I don't want what I've had. Putt's trip's a success 'tis allowed, Of his conquests he surely is proud, If you ask him today You'll find that he'll say, . Two's a plenty, but three is a crowd. There was a young lady called E As athletic as she could beg She jumped on a bed And broke it down at the headg The climax you plainly can see. There was a young girl from Augusta Whom Victor thot sure he had crush- ed her, He followed her 'round All over the ground, My! Poor Vic was sure in a fluster.

Our side made only three errors, this be- THE BOUNCER 21 ing the smallest number that we have made in any game this season. Carpen- ter pitched an excellent game and was well backed.up when our friends from Oakland succeeded in colliding with the elusive sphere. Our runs were made mostly through the effectuals and con- tinuous use of the squeeze play, which seemed to puzzle our opponents a great deal, as we' always used it when they least expected it.
