M w “DO IT NOW’ If you have some calculus to do, Do it now; You’ll be glad before you’re through, Do it now. You can show your results with some satisfaction, When Doc comes around for information, For you know he likes explanation: Do it now. If your electricity you must study, Do it now; So Bovec won’t think you’re nutty, Do it now. Though it be a simple deed, It may be just what you need, And so let me with you plead. Do it now. If you have a chemistry test to be made, Do it now; And please Mr. Kienth before it’s too late, Do it now. Then, when your senior year comes around, You’ll know a Prof, worth more than gold, For his name, in the column of friends, you’ll write down, Do it now. If a design report you must write, Do it now; Even though you work all night; Do it now. Then, if Matthews should scold, Your feet need not grow cold. When before the class you’re told, Do it now. If you have some tuition to pay, Do it now; Don’t put it off from day to day, Do it now. Gentlemen, you can give a cheerful smile, When Oscar comes down the aisle, For you know he likes that style; Do it now. J. HAVLICK. Page Ninety-two

 V, M ,,,-,, 'THE 4920 EMF | USE SSfe. Engineering VII is not different from any other class. Everybody says, “Our friend, Mr. Kienth.” We say the same quite often. Prof. Matthews is also a friend of everybody, but he is not the .same kind of a friend that Prof. Kienth is. viz., a friend who has the “Givemes.” Another thing, you cannot begin an argument with Mr. Matthews because he does not waste his time that way. Mr. Kienth. on the other hand, is a ready debater on any subject. Perhaps he does not consider arguing waste of time. SINCE JANUARY 1. 1920. Erwin Sabatke is awake. Harold Vinje came to school three times. Erwin Riebc did not smoke. Edgar Schrocder became an A. I. E. E. member. Ewald Fritschcl did not go out with girls. Carl Smith has not been working. Paul Reynolds washed dishes at the Boston Lunch. Joe Havlick has shaved exactly 13,678 times. Reynolds to J. Havlick: There arc two foreigners in school now, one from Siam and the other from Nebraska. THE BEST WAY TO KILL AN ASSOCIATION Don't attend meetings. If you do attend, come late. If weather is a bit disagreeable, stay away. When you do attend, be a grouch and find fault with the officers, with what they do and the way they do it. Never accept an office—it is much easier to grouch, criticise and find fault than to do things. Get sore and kick because you are not appointed on a committee—if you are, do not attend the committee meetings; then tell everyone how things really should be done. When called upon by the chairman, act indifferent, as disagreeable as possible and say nothing; if you do say anything show signs of being hurt. Promise to join the association and then hold back in your dues as long as you can. If you are asked to get a new member, act as if you were peeved or too big for such work—promise to and then don’t do it. When the association adopts a resolution ignore it—pretend it was for your competitor but not for you, and when questioned about it say you did not know anything about it. Don’t do any more than you have to; what you do, do unwillingly, and when others get in and roll up their sleeves and unselfishly do their utmost to help matters along, set up a howl that the association is run by a gang of dishonest persons.

SOME BUNCH This a class that knows a whole lot, Yes, they always hit the spot. In studying and skipping they’re always right there, They’re always in class unless on a tear. There is in this gang a man called Sabatkc, And, oh boy, what a devil amongst girls lie is. He works in the basement of the Boston Store Where lie sees many pretty girls by the score. There’s Reynolds and Schroeder, both men very brave. And are in the class to study and not to slave. But when it comes to a game of football, They’re there to win or to lick them all. The T. M. E. R. L. Co. has a young man with them Who helps take care of the distribution system. Joe Havlick is the man who does most of this work. And does it willingly and without a shirk. There is Smith, who is still working for the I-C. And gets paid for loafing by this small company. But the time he is looking for is drawing near. When perhaps he may be called some kind of an engineer Riebe, who sometimes sharks in Doc Ycaton’s math.. Is a promising young man who is following the right path. He may become an engineer or probably a mathematician. But one thing he won’t be. is a punk first class electrician. There’s Vinjc who’s been with us for a very short time, And his pleasure, is to give Sabatke a pretty good time, lie comes to our classes just once in a while. But “he should worry.” because in this class it’s the style. Fritschel, no doubt, is a pretty good hash slingcr. For this is the way he earns all his dinners. No wonder he can say. Oh Boy! I feel fine. When all he does is eats and eats all the time. Page Ninety-three
