Then, too, huge rations had been bought, bartered and stolen which indicated a fly in the ointment. Then about eight bells came the old familiar sounds of Gordon's melodious and harmonious out- fit. Investigating the aerdrome we found a party in full sway, the work of the stowaways. Everyone immediately joined in to give them their fun, for the majority had worked long and faithfully. Then as the eve- ning wore on the rations began to appear, which we all helped to dispose of so that the stowaways would not have an oversupply. At twelve every- one departed singing, Good Night Ladies, I'm going to leave you now. Sophomore Party UN Feb. 9, the Mechanics leased the cockpit, and it was their night to make merry. The room was decorated in blue and gold. Gordon's Band was once more the same old hot band and the party was on. At eight o'clock the Grand March started to the tune of On Wisconsin . Then started the hotfooting. The mechanics were quite expert now as they had had experience. At ten-thirty the refreshments were served and after them came a sham thunderstorm of confetti, balloons, horns, and caps. The teachers were quite repaid for the marks which they had given on semester exams, for they would have been soaked completely if it had been a real cloudburst. At twelve the sweet strains of Home, Sweet Home were played, and upon them we were wafted back to our cabins. The Junior prom EOWN from the grey storming clouds which darkened the horizon on April 19, swept our old familiar plane. By its side was a smaller one with Gordon's Serenadersm written on its side. There was some- thing rotten in Denmark because the day before the cock pit had been decorated by the Observers. At seven forty-five the grand march was started, and the fun was on. The room was decorated with pastel shades of pink, green, yellow, blue, and lavender. Overhead the various colors of crepe paper were interwoven in a checkerboard fashion. On each end of the hall the numerals '29 and '30 in the colors of pink were embedded in a background of blue. The orchestra was Sailing on the bounding main, for their platform was a gondola. About ten-thirty refreshments were served. Balloons and serpentine were the next to appear, and all made merry. Finally Home, Sweet Home was played, and, after var- ious members had been restored to their respective ships and cabins, our ship took off once more for the land of dreams.

Every- thing must be in tip-top shape, for after our battle with the ship Dodge- ville we must let the Alumni board our ship. So after a victory fwhich was expectedj the gang made ready to make merry. The large cabin was decorated. A light Ryon plane containing Gordon's serenaders swooped down, and the party was on. Intermission was at eleven o'clock and so was the victory bonhre which burned the ship Dodgeville to a crisp. After ev- eryone had been refreshed Qsome by moonlight ridesj the Whoopee went on' again till at last the captain left for his stateroom, which was a gentle hint signifying, Time to Retire-Take a Tip. Happy and con- tent we left. Seiniioir party UN Dec. 28, the crew was almost in mutiny. Knives were flashing and the crew were polishing dark bluish revolvers. The reason- All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So, after overheating, in an apple barrel, a dangerous plan, the crew encountered Miss Jeuck, who con- trived to get a leave of absence for everyone after the basketball game and stage a jig. Mr. Bear gave consent and after a thrilling encounter with the crew of the Dodgeville ship the party was on. It was like a bomb from a clear sky, everyone giving vent to their pent up spirits. Gor- don's furnished the hot tunes for our propulsion instead of the propeller furnishing the hot air. At a wee hour the ships bell rang signifying that we must return so as to be in shape on Monday morning when a serious aerial encounter was expected with a bombing plane named Books whose ammunition was exams. ,I Literal-Minded Stenographer A new clerk, dictating a few days ago, was in doubt as to the use of a certain phrase, so he said to the stenographer: Do you retire a loan? And the wistful eyed one replied rather sleepily: No I sleep with mama. Mike: Did you tell Casey I was a liar? Pat: I did not. I tho't he knew it.
