30 THE ALARM 1923 Lyle would much rather read than study. A magazine or newspaper is, and always will he, a thousand times more welcome than any amount of Caesar’s Commentaries or English classes. School books should be more thrilling. Don’t you think so, Lyle? Now 1 came to the end of my list. No, Janice is not forgotten. YVe all will remember her love for amusement. Recall English II and you will remember Janice. This ends the history of the Sophomores. Don’t you agree with us that we have a most extraordinary class and history? E. A. ’25.

Once upon a time I Tho’t I understood women ; But alas! I found That, if you flatter a woman, She thinks you’re lying, And, if you don’t flatter her, She picks out someone who will. If you make love to her. She acts as if she isn’t that kind; And, if you don’t, she thinks You’re terribly slow. If you agree with her in everything. She thinks you’re not a leader; And, if you don’t she cries Because she can’t have her own way. If you’re jealous of her, She thinks you’re a foolish boy; But. if you’re not.... She thinks that you don’t care. If you smoke, she doesn’t want you to; And, if vou don’t, she thinks you’re a kid. If you’re affectionate, she thinks You’ll tire of her kisses; And, if you’re not, She thinks you don’t love her. If you’re just a “good” boy, She wonders why you don’t go farther; If you do, she gets insulted or. . . .pretends she is. If you go out with other girls, She thinks you like them best; And, if you don’t— She thinks you can’t get any other dates. So tell me—What, oh, what! IS MERE MAN GOING TO DO?
