Quite frequently authors and poets appear In the persons of Freshmen to whom they are dear. Thaclceray and Eliot could not help growing vain, If they saw their books acted,-made comically plain, By maids with ability, which counts quite a bit And frequently makes a tremendous, big hit. Perchance you hear laughter and boisterous mirth.- Then indeed does the audience see the actors' true worth. So may our Spur live on for year after year, Filling each Freshman's heart with wondrous good cheer! H. M. S. 'I2. 26

Qt Uliale of the jfrwbman Qblass. Once upon a time, in a wonderful country, and in a lovely part of that country, there was a place known to all the people round about by the high sounding name of Milwaukee-Downer College. For some strange reason a great many beautiful and charming girls lived there together and worked and played. Among all these hundreds there were sixty who more than all the others made this College famous: for you must know that all were not strong and active,--or if they were they did little to prove it. However, these sixty splendid girls banded together and accomplished great things. One afternoon, if you could have watched their queer be- havior, you would have seen them cheering one of their number who was rolling a large ball toward a number of wooden pins set up at one end of a long, hard-wood side-walk. After a time the girl stopped and presently she was given a large silver cup, which bore the inscription: Bowling Championship. At another time, six of these same girls demonstrated that they could toss a large round ball into a basket at one end of a long room, which in their strange language they called a gym. They tossed the ball into this basket many more times than the other six girls, called Sophomores, did. Later two of them were chosen to repeat this performance with the College Six, while not one of their former rivals was selected. It is no wonder that these sixty-five young women were vastly proud of the name which they bore- Freshmen-l 91 Z! Giang Sung. Here's to the dear old M. D.
