Yet we know we shall forget, and to aid , 9. 63 ,,. - K' 'r it . 7' lf2f11Q a tricky memory, we carefully store away our volumes of notes, our marked-up texts. But what of those things not neatly written down and catalogued-our classmates, likeness of your instructor drawn in the margin of your Rhetoric. You may lose your mimeo- graphed copy of the unior College song. Most of us have outgrown memory-books, few of us are patient enough to keep a diary. Hence the Griffon. Taking neither you nor ourselves too seri- ously, we have tried to catch the true spirit of unior College. Our philosophy, if we may call it by so dignified a name, is a youthful hedonism modified by a more thoughtful vein. And so in the Griffon you will find fact and fiction, sense and nonsense. As we present the Griffon to.guard your treasured memories, wve make the following rnodestfrequest: ' f With apologies to our fathers You cl 'scarce expect a stay? our size To make a book divinely wise. So if we chance to fall below 0 0 35 If' 'R u l A If rr rl K5 sf 1 our good times, our organizations?

Lovingly we dedicate our book to the memory of Miss Etta Knowles, l who spent the tall white candle of her life in shedding abroad her gentle 5 influence, a light which will long continue to guide us, though the candle has in this world burnt itself out.

It gives us one of those feelings. Everybody knows what one of those feelingsn isg everybody has had one at some important time. It is usually caused by the knowledge that some- thing nice is going to happen, accompanied by a lot of sadnessg in other words, one part joy to two parts grief. When it was rumored that the feeling was very prevalent among the Sophomores and much more contagious than the late epidemic of mumps, some one of the brilliant students fintimating that there are more than onej doped out the cause. It is graduation. . Tears come to my eyes when I think of never flunking another Logic test. Heaven knows what will happen to my health when I no longer get my Wednesday morning exercise climbing to convocations. No more basketball games, no more cuts- Oh, well, we shall have to give up our places to those unworthy Freshmen. But we shall haunt them. If, in the following year, a group of spirits are seen wandering mourn- fully around the halls, do not fear, for it will only be the Sophomores coming again to the place where they spent such happy hours.

C., only second best. In spite of this evident modesty we, like all freshman classes, have been accused of vanity. We deny the charge, but lest some unkind person suggest that our lack of conceit is due to lack of anything to be conceited about, we list briefly a few of the things we have accomplished. In the first place we showed a wisdom beyond our years in our choice of officers and of the able diplomats we sent to the Senate. We took leads as well as minor parts in the all-college play. We played on the basketball team, helped to edit the Spectator and Griffon, served on .numberless committees, and joined all the clubsj Moreover, it is estimated that we own two-thirds of the cars and exhibit three-fourths of the pep at J. C. Although bitterly disappointed in us at first, even the Sophomores concede Crather skeptically it is truej that owing to their careful criticism and excellent example, we have not turned out so badly, after all.

Even the husky Kirksville men found no faint hearts among the plucky Hve who made their motto The bigger they are the harder they fall. It was Coach Haines who first put J.

They were scorched by their own fire, however, and were forced to seem satisfied with the Wee end oi' a 23 to 20 score. Beaver, as captainfshowed by example the kind ol' playing he wanted, and the others followed his lead. The Kirksville Teachers were the next opponents, met on the large court in the City Auditorium. Though J. C. fought tenaciously, it was of little avail. The Teachers overpow- ered them more by size and reserve force than by superior playing. Five men were pitted against a reserve lineup that looked like the A. E. F., but J. C. fought gamely until the last. It was a more glorious defeat than the score indicated. 32-21. f Trenton then thought to humble the proud Griifons, but Ted had prepared his men for such players. They re- turned to their college toting the sack. The J. C. cagers took the long end of the score, 35, while Trenton had to be thankful for 17 hard earned points.

It is not a simple matter to humble The Trenton a foe in his own camp, but J. C. nearly accomplished the feat at Lawrence. But though the Griffon floor game was up to standard, it was an off night for baskets. A remark by a witness of the fray proves the hard and earnest play of the team.

The sturdy young Hiawathas were forced to return to their tepees without the spoils of the hunt, for their shots went amiss. They attempted to down the Griffons on their own court, but were outwitted and defeated by good playing. Rooters went wild when the Redskins bit the dust to the score of 16-14. Graceland found the Griffons suffer- ing from that most dangerous of diseases, diagnosed by fans as a weakened morale. No one knows ex- actly what caused the attack, but it proved a rather serious one. Coach Haines at once began a successful treatment, and the pill which Grace- land forced them to swallow seemed to be effective. The score was 23-20 in favor of the enemy.

However, they were ad- mitted to be honorable and worthy opponents. The score: 20-26. Junior College could not appreciate the beating handed them on their own court and so with gusto and fervor they played to turn the tables. It was rich sport to slip Graceland a defeat just as Graceland had handed them the bugbear. So with a high heart the team returned to tell of their victory and of the playing of Thompson and Miller.

What the Cadets had no one knew, but it was a fast one on the Griffons. Perhaps the Cadets carried horseshoes in their knee pads or rabbit feet in their pistol pockets, but just the same the team could not raise the bugaboo of defeat. Whoever heard of playing basketball in a cracker box? That is the situa- tion the Griffons found themselves in when they went to Kansas City to play the Junior College there. It was no small wonder that the team couldn't get going for if they did they would be out of- bounds before a keen play could 'be put across. The defeat was less pointed for the team knew that the court made the difference. So J. C. chalked up this score in their little red book and will be out for blood next season. Score: 36-25.

Perhaps it is due to the large woman vote cast that the Senate has been particularly free from corruption. There have been no probes, no frauds, no mud slinging. Calamity howlers have been few. Shirt sleeve diplomacy has taken the place of kid glove politics. What little fillibustering there has been has caused little trouble, the Senate having more time than business anyway. The main issue this year has been the old one of college versus individual rights. As free citizens do we have 'the right to giggle in the library and to throw papers in the halls? The party in power declares NO . The Senate has also done important work in the matter of appointments and nominations. Having no treasury surplus to worry over they have been able to give such matters a great deal of thought. Everything considered, we are much pleased with the way in which our law-making body has con- ducted itself and us. President . . . ................ George Wiehl Secretary .... ....

If it ,did not respond to our treatment as we dreamed it might, the fault lay not in the committee, but in the slenderness of our purse. Our candy and pencil stand rivaled the registers as a place of social gatherings, and our taffy is famous even in high school. Thus we have fattened our purse so that We have been able to send three girls to the conference at Columbia. In short We have been quite as sociable and alive as we are supposed to be. But it is no Wonder that we have had an enjoyable year, since we have such excellent officers, and Miss Blum as sponsor. . Pa ge Forty-on P fl ff-5 Nt-3' V ,, A at fv - J. C.gY. M.

' As the years go by and Junior College grows in size and importance it seems fitting that in that advancement there should be included among its clubs and organizations a group interested in helping their college by first bettering themselves. This last year, with just th-at purpose in mind, the J. C. Y. M. was organized. This move was taken because at an early meeting of the college men an active interest was manifested in the project. As a result of this interest and desire a small number started working on the movement. These students of course realized the difficulty of creating a flourishing organization in the short period of a year. And it was with the realization of this and other limitations, and in spite of them, that these few decided to organize the J. C. Y. M. As yet the club has done nothing outstanding. The members did not expect to. The fact that there would be future students able to go ahead on the foundation laid by the original members seemed in itself to be of great enough importance. The club has, however, sponsored a college employment bureau which has proved beneficial to students desiring part time work. Again the open forum meetings held weekly have aided students. Social functions in conjunction with the J. C. Y. W. proved the source of much enjoyment. Lastly the state conference at Columbia which two of our members attended, promoted the work of the Club. Perhaps it would be unfair to conclude-without men- tioning the support given us by the J. C. Y. W., their help proved a steadying factor in the clubis functions. However, we owe our greatest debt to Mr. Clarence Speer, the sponsor of the Club, and to Rev. W. W. Meyer. The work of these two men certainly made any small success of which it may boast possible.

The Merry Mermaids who arrived last year have found the J. C. waters to their liking and have continued their organization. Their aim is simply this-to swim. They intend to carry it out twice a week at the Y. W. pool. They have completed success- fully a number of large undertakings such as getting themselves together to have their picture taken and collecting dues. They are an independent bunch who believe in self- government and have therefore elected no sponsor. Page Forty-three 5. K4 qt f-6 I W' V , p 'V ' XM 1.

Remember 'way back when there was no such thing as a recognized social sorority in Junior College? Well, if you don't, don't boast of it, because our pioneer organization, Omega Tau, is now two years old and you mustn't have it known that you've been here longer than two years. When the eleven members aren't busy trying to maintain the scholas ers, supporting the school activities, and upholding tic standard the various . And man! s business! set for them by the found ideals of Omega Tau, they devote themselves to having the world's be t t' s ime what they don't know about the quiet art of 'having a good time is nobody' From the first rush party in the fall the year was cramfull of fun A h' , . s igh lights we'll mention the second annual Hallowe'en party, the bridal shower for Thelma Drummond Wright, the New Year's Eve party, and that hilarious roller skating party which Cwe hearb was followed by an impromptu theater party-at three different theaters. But, unlike other organizations, we do not suspend activities at close of school. Our season has only begun, and we expect to continue our good times at Sugar Lake this summer.

Cresset lifted its glowing head proudly and answered: Of one thing I ani especially proud. I represented Junior College at the exhibit of great pictures at the City Hall. I sold tickets and catalogues to buy pictures for the colleges. I planned the program on April 18, and my followers acted as guides to the pictures. As an advertisement for the exhibit I conducted a contest in the college to determine who could identify the most famous pictures. My work this year has been delightful. But have you had no play? Q Yes, indeed. Cresset flickered cheerfully as it responded. I took my pledges to Troy one cold night to initiate them. I had a line party at the Missouri with a 'feed' at Carolyn Heffley's. Of course I enjoyed the clever remarks of my followers. This year has been full of play. The Griffon raised his head from ponderous thought. Light of art, you shall live to brighten the way to beauty in Junior College another year.

The Natural Science Club is one of the most active organizations in Junio C ll 1' o ege. It is working not only for the interests of the school, but also for civic advancement. The purpose of the Club is to create and foster interest in and encouia e th t d ' g e s u y of Natural Science in Junior College, the city of St. Joseph and elsewhere In 1927 the members started a movement to establish a Children's M useum. While the control of the Museum interests now rest in a civic Board of Directors and T t . . . . . rus ees, the Club has not lessened its activities in behalf of the Museum. One of these activities was to raise a led f p ge o at least 515100.00 for the Museum fund. To do this, three rummage sales have been held. In addition the Club has sponsored two illustrated lectures by renowned scientists, the first by Captain Ralph P. Robinson, the Arctic explorer, the second by Arthur C. Pillsbury of the Yosemite National Park. 0 . y M . ff V J in H L ' V Page Forty-six J f Z A 54 I n Q E Back row: Giesler Second rows Front Row Not in pict Bon s world of i fantasies o Moliere, th highly infl Added several of Goley's dia for they a dramatic l versation, idioms and QMW, sfwJ MVQ Fleffley r BYISD Stone on Chu1ch1ll Harpe1 Leen un1o1 College advancement the study of ens Museum D1rectors and Nluseum fund sponsored two Roblnson the 1al Park Le Cercle Francais Back row Thompson Po1r1er Sonthe1mer Blacet Hlnckley LHCFOIX Doughty Nelson GIGSISI Second row Church1ll G Brady Redfern Scholl Ramsden Scott Ma1t1n Front Row Nechem1as Wllson L1berman Shackelford OBr1en E Brady El1scu Not 1n p1cture Culp Hodgden Poage Stewa1t Bon so1r la seance est ouve1te IS the mag1c key Wh1Ch opens the door ot a new world of lnterest the world of the old French poets and novensts From the da1nty fantasles of Ronsard to the br1ll1ant and soph1st1cated essays and plays of Volta1re and Molleze there 1S an unbroken l1ne of works whose beauty 15 1ntens1fied by the rlch and hlghly mflected language 1n whlch they are wrltten Added 1nterest to club wo1k has been furrnshed through the d1amat1zat1on of several of these select1ons Certamly Voltalre seemed more human after Gall and Goley s d1alogue However the club does not rely solely on others for 1tS ente1ta1nment lor they are qu1te capable of 1mp1ov1s1ng the1r own poetry W1tness F1ank Nelson d1amat1c love poem 1nscr1bed to Mlle Le Pres1dente Toujours the1e lS spughtly con wersatlon and the sta1d Parlez vous franca1s 15 greeted Wlth a voluble flovx of French 1d1oms and phrases by the members f kg' .L 3 ova?

This is the first appearance in the Griffon of a club which has sprung to promi- nence almost over night. It was founded in 1927 for the purpose of furthering knowledge and good will in international relations. It is attempting to do this through the educa- tion of its members and of the other Junior College students who accept the invitations to open meetings in- regard to matters of international interest. The theme of last year's discussion was The League of Nations and the World Court as Machinery for World, Peace. This year the topic has been What to do With Good Will. Some of the studies have been led by the members themselves, at other meetings prominent townspeople have given the talks. The club has already done much to arouse the active interest of J. C. students in world affairs, and under the sponsorship of Miss Wells, we expect it to do much more. - President ............ .. .Frank George Nelson Secretary-Treasurer .. . ,.....

C.: Mix a congenial group of students, literary and interested in literature, add a Miss Rhoades, dash in the best books of the year, and flavor with such environment as Schreiber's Shack, where the club enjoyed ice-skating by moonlight and Tall Tales of Kentucky by firelight. Among the other books reviewed are: Edna St. Vincent Millay's King's Henchmanj' Rolvaag's Giants in the Earth, Trader Horn, Rena1t in the Desert, O'Nie1's Marco Millions, the prize novels, Jalna and Meat, A President Is Born and Galsworthy's Escape T W Page Fifty Back row: ford, H Second row ton, Li Front row: Not in pict Phi Th new membe largest in i J.

Fourteen new members, three' sophomores and eleven freshmen, increased the membership to the largest in its history. We trust that this is indicative of increased intellectuality at J. C. The meetings have been interesting and unusual. One radical departure from Phi Theta Kappa customs was a steak fry at Kenmoor orchards early in October. This time neither literature, philosophy nor science was the topic under discussion, but rather the more humble ones of steak, buns and cider. An evening in the opposite dirction was a meeting at which Dr. Whitcomb talked on philosophy. I - M ' N Page Fifty-one a t A 'Ziff if WP V ll ,ex .4 ' X N ,I A R1 PPO N .

JOSEPH, MO. Anytime SPECTATOR OFFICE A HAVEN OF PEACE .For the first time in the history of the school, the Spectator has an office of itsiown. Here earnest young writers, seeking the Muse, find a peaceful haven in which they may plot and rhyme to their heart's con- tent. Far from the din and clamor of thoughtless school children and securely se- questered from the agonies of.the- horseshoe contest, In- spiration spreads her beating wings. Occasionally a timid out- sider will peer and tiptoe into the room in search of something which, oddly enough, is never there. Al- ways they retreat, abjectly murmuring apologies for so rudely intruding upon one engaged in the sacred ritual. The military band, when passing beneath the room's broad windows, plays The Stars and Stripes Forever pianissimo, sweetly and sad- y. The stern R. O. T. C. com- mander bawls out only three of his customary four com- mands aware of the tremen- dous workings in the room above. ' Never in this sanctum is heard the low dealings and schemings pertaining to commercialism. No! It is a temple dedicated tn the glory of true Art-a holy of holies. -l r JOURNALISM AS A STEPPING STONE-STONE TO POPULARITY Newspaper work offers, I believe, more advantages than any other outside ac- tivity. A position on the Spectator may be used, I have discovered, as a great aid to popularity. In addi- tion to those people who seek favor with you because they like to see their name in print, there are countless others who become quite de- voted to you in order that their names may not appear. We journalists, however, do not take undue advantage of our position. During the year there was a rumor that a contest to determine the most popular students in Junior College was to be held. Before final arrange- ments could be made, the Spectator staff members in- sisted that the contest be called off, since their modes- ty would not permit them to carry off all the honors. THE WALRUS Talks Again The time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things. Yes? As usual, the Car- penter was only mildly in- terested. VVhat's there to talk about now that they've cleaned up the: City Dump on the Campus? You and your City Dump. You're as rabid about it as Bud Vaughn. The VValrus sniffed disgustedly-he pre- ferred to talk about ,litera- ture. But what I was going to mention was that we're invited out. Where to? 'tOver to the Griffon's. The Hare and the Tortoise will be there and so'll the rest of the staff. Well, I do hope you can keep quiet long enough for someone to get a word in edgewise. I-Iow about yourself, stealing all the topics of col- lege interest to make Bill's editorials twice the work? I don't take them all, replied the Carpenter indig- nantly. And besides, Bill's got too much to do to spend all his time writing editor- ials. Why, he spends hours here at night writing, trying to fill up the Spectator. I know it. And Park and Sally are both ready to start a fire and burn the school down in order to get a little news. Oh, well, Mary'll, have it to do next year. She's getting plenty of practice now writing filler. I'd say Warren is get- ting plenty of practice too. He'll be the world's cham- pion typist one of these days. Well, Walrus, let's get the crowd rounded up and go. Beatrice and Mary Ellen are out after ads I suDD0S9- Yes, but they'll be back. You go up after the circula- tion manager and I'll get Frank Walker and the rest of the gang. We must all be there. The Griffonis in- viting all the celebrities. I wouldn't miss it for worlds. DESPERATION There are horrible days when it's raining And days just as bad when it snows, And yet, though I'm far from complaining, There's one day that's worse, Heaven knows. K II There is suffering from going to classes And suffering from flunk- ing on test, But the suffering that all far surpasses Is this suffering from which there's no rest. III. Perhaps I should stop and explain The meaning of all I have said, The thing that has caused all this pain And a rush of blood to my head. IV That day when I suffer the most Is the day when the items are due For the paper that once was my boast- Before a hot staff job I drew. 'V I write, and I write, and I write: And then when I've written some more, They tell me they're in a sad plight Won't I please write again three and four. VI I hide when I see them coming I tremble and quake at their step For write-ups they always are drumming- I've aged and I've lost all ' my pep. VII To suffer this anguish is useless, I I've made up my mind to that now. From henceforth I'll always be ruthless And write 'em quick, boy, and how! A -gggfiw f 2.-jg? I S -I If W, Page Fifty-five .

Sergius also was relieved of the strain he endured as the apostle of the higher like gold love and we are led to suppose that he and Louka lived happily ever after.

This I do kno -th - h w .at I am.very glad I had two years in Junior College before coming to Madison. .It 1S very d1ff1cult for Freshmen to become oriented into so large a group. The work itself is no more difficult than that offered in Junior College, it is the outside activities .which make inroads on the students time and the average Freshman has difficulty in striking a balance. The instructors who have the courses for upper-classmen and graduate students are for the most part men f t d ' . i i 0 ou stan ing ability. I cannot help but feel it a privilege to sit in their courses. Each has so much to offer. I could not help but think of my work on last year's Griffon when my English instructor remarked that it was better to be a poor writervthan a mediocre one. Some way it sounded consoling for my impertinences. I'm sure the I92.8 Griffon will be a big improvement over the 1927 one because, if for no other reason, it IS the nature of things to progress. My wish for the literary editor IS that he or she has as willing co-workers and as good typists as I had, my wish for the Griffon board IS that it may have a highly successful edition of the 1928 Griffon. Sincerely, LOUISE GRAHAM. Although I managed to stand the inoculation of the Junior College virus for all of two years, I confess that I was a good deal in the dark as to the actual results of my labors. But confronted with the prospect of writing a contribution to the Griffon, I began more closely to analyze the good that I got out of J.VC. Perhaps the most im- portant thing is a certain sense of poise that one does not often find in a high school graduate, but toward which the added two years contribute a great deal. But the great- est thing to my mind is that one gains the ability to see things in their proper relations, one to another. One learns to judge the world more carefully, or perhaps not to judge it at all. While I do not think these are exclusive benefltsg of Junior Colleges, I do think that the smaller school and the more intimate contact with students and faculty make it much easier to attain them. ROBERT EAS TIN, '27, In 400 B. C. the Griffon, according to the Greeks, was guarding their treasure, gold, at Scythia. Today the Griffon is guarding a priceless treasure-the Junior College Yearbook. It is true that the cover and the pages of this yearbook are not priceless, like gold they can be replaced, but it is the contents that is pr-iceless. Photographs which help one to recall faces, literary rare bits, pictures and paragraphs with which we immediately associate pleasant past experiences-who would dare to attempt to put ' hese treasures? a prxetlgiig is valuable only in so far as it can favorably affect our mental state. .Gold may or may not attain this end. But, five or ten years hence, what mental states will be produced by spending an evening with one or two volumes of The Griffon. .It is this, alone, that makes it a priceless treasure which the Griffon is diligently guarding in the twenlgiiibthl tzlieellaueg of wishes for the Faculty, the Student Body, and former classmates of Junior College, I am Very sincerely yours, FRED L.

C. needs is more atmosphere, in short, older traditions, a longer history, a background that goes way back. Understand now, that when l speak of background and atmosphere we don't mean the back lot and the air. lt is an intangible quality to which We refer, so intangible that we can't quite put our linger on it. Only the Griffon, venerable, king of bird and beast, has survived the move from the old building. Since then we haven't even scared up a well-defined ghost. To be sure we hear of a College Spirit that has grown up, but it is a vague sort of ghost with not so much as a name. Is it a spirit or a human? Man or woman? No one knows. Surely we need a 100170 J. C. ghost. Traditions don't grow, they are made. We have the talent fthe imaginative, not the Biblical kindj and so long as they cost noth- ing we ought to have traditions. Why doesn't someone set a rock on the back campus and call it the cornerstone of our original building partially destroyed by the Chicago fire, completely demolished by the San Francisco earthquake, and carried away by the California flood. Of course Miss An- drews might confiscate it for the museum, but in that event we could put up a stone to mark the spot where the rock stood. Why doesn't a thoughtful youth start the story that grass won't grow on the aforementioned campus because an early J. C. -atheist rests under the sod? Why don't you bore a bullet hole in the wall to show where the first student suicide fall prominent schools have had onej drank the fatal hemlock? Is it .that we have no college pride, or do we fail to realize our need? Hoping it is the latter we suggest that the Natural Science Club spon- sor a contest offering a memorial plate to the person who establishes the best tradition. you for louder and funnier traditions.

SERMON ON BLUFFING Find out from upperclassmen which in- structors are easiest and which are hardest. Discover which courses can be passed. by using former knowledge, if any. CHA little learning is a useful thing. J Note courses which do not require any outside reading, written themes, notebooks, or other Joy- killers. Make out the easiest schedule pos- sible. Then get the dean to sign it. This Will probably require a good deal of soft soapfbut it can be done. CFor girlsg If at first you don't succeed, cry, cry aga1'n. J A good rule to remember in selecting instruc- tors is to pick the least popular and give her a lot of house during the time you are with her. CHA little attention now and then is relished by the crossest hen. J This will work unless the teacher has too much sense to fall for your line, in which case you are out of luck. If it does work, take as many courses as you can from her. When you first go to a class, try to make the instructor's first impression of you as good as possible. f WeIl begun is half done. Except in Miss R's classes where Well done is half begun.

Beside, the instructor might be annoyed by your snoring. , During the first twoz or three weeks it would have a good effect on the pedagogue if you have possibly half of your lessons every day. f A half lesson's better than no grade. J This can be accomplished easily and with little effort,' simply by 3131101113 over the text while going from one class to another. n . , Another important detail is to raisevyour hand on two or three questions immediately after the instructor has called on you.. A good way to stop some teachers, especially those familiar with traffic rules, from calling on you is to raise your hand. However, there are times when you should not raise your hand. You must use discretion in this matter. Q . When writing tests it is a big help if you have a seat next to a greasy grind. How- ever, when putting down what you. have gotten from his paper, use a little originality so that the papers will not look too much alike CHA grind and a grafter are soon parted. J When walking around the college or where one might meet a teacher it is wise to be burdened down with books. IHA book in the hand is worth two in the locker. J If you will follow these rules and study from nine to ten hours a day, you will have no trouble in putting over a good bluff. KNOW THYSELF By Madame De Blooey At last, after many years experimentation in our laboratory, we have perfected this easy reliable method of self-analysis, which gives you valuable information in the privacy of your own home. Read over the question in each group clearly and distinctly, checking your answer in the square after the correct answer. Your key number, for the desired analysis, consists of the combined group numbers of the groups in which three or more of the questions are checked yes, Thus if the majority of questions in group one and three are answered yes and the 'majority in group two no, your key number is thirteen. Group l-Physical 1. Are you as goodlooking as Leona An- drews or Barent Springstead? Yes I 1 No I 1 2. Are you of slender and youthful build? CExample Dorothy Bachman, Carol Shaw.l Yes I 1 No I 1 3. Have you lots of pep? fExample Har- riet Ruth Mayer, Chet Buzard.J Yes I 1 No I 1 4. Is your hair curly? Example Elizabeth Bundy, Ted Heim.J Yes I 1 No I 1 5. Have you a Stingley smile? Yes I 1 No I 1 Group ll-Mental 1. Do you make as good d ' th as Bud Vaughn? gra es In ma H.0I'1,S Grin Yes I 1 N0 I 1 I l , 2. Are you as fond of reciting in class as George Mutziger? Yes I 1 No I 1 I , , , 3. Are you good at distinguishing slight differences in size? For instance, between Erma Bush and Frank Walker? Yes I 1 No I 1 I I 4. Are you as intellectual as Bill Miller? Yes I 1 No I 1 . 5. Are you an officer of any school dis- organization? Yes I 1 No I 1 Group Ill--Spiritual 1. Do you belong to as many clubs as Frank Nelson? YesI 1 NoI 1 2. Are you, like Jake Lubo, fond of talk? YesI 1 NoI 1 3. Is your record of attendance at J. C. dances as perfect as Miss Wyatt's? YesI 1 NoI 1 4. Are you as democratic as Cheshire Cheese isn't? Yes I 1 No I 1 5. You you know every one in college as Louise Zimmer does? ' YesI 1 NoI 1 Key O. If you cannot answer yes to the ma- jority of any of these groups, you should be fitted for Congress, but if this disappoint- ment is too great we suggest that you go over the list of questions again. 1. You have good looks and plenty of vitality. For this reason you are fairly popular, but you would be more so were you not rather inclined to be snobbish. We ad- vise you not to try a conversation on any- thing deep with Virginia Mullen for instance, and to use diligently Pond's two creams and Palmolive soap. 2. You are brainy and have marked ability along the creative line. However, you also are too conceited and too intolerant of the ideas and practices of your younger brothers and sisters. We advise you to get down off your high horse and join the Phi Theta Kappa. 3. You are inordinately fond of a good time and sacriiice everything to pleasures of the moment. In other words you are hedon- istic. You have a really good mind, but you seem disinclined to use it much. 12. You have strong qualities of leadership and considerable executive ability. You are attractive physically but you lack social charm.and experience. Arm yourself with an Emily Post and go forth bravely. '13. You have a pleasing personality and a kindly interest in folks combined with good, looks. You are rather too fond of making yourself conspicuous and like to be the- cynosure of all eyes. Beware of this failing especially in the class room. It may bring about your downfall. 23. Taking it for granted that you have answered the questions truthfully, we must say that you are intelligent and capable but you do not understand social activities. You are inclined to take on more work than you can do without injury to your health, Eat plenty of spinach and carrots. 123. 'lou are a well-balanced individual. You have .lots of energy and enthusiasm, you are llitelllgent, practical and efficient, as well as good-looking and popular, You have not, however, much originality. i Ala--ff? 9:1-E. ml'- fix' 1' K, N Page Sixty M1 A.

A NEW THOUGHT Bill Miller asked Margaret, and Margaret asked The Wise teacher: Did you ever think a thought That no one thought before? Margaret asked The wise teacher, The wise teacher Said, Certainly I've never thought A thought That No one thought before. The wise teacher She pondered, And went and asked The thoughtful dean: Did you ever think a thought That no one thought before? The thoughtful dean . D Said sleepily: tHe was tired of questioningsh You'd better tell Your young students That many people nowadays Like Durant's thoughts lnsteadf The wise teacher Said, Fancy! And went to Young Margaret And with a smile benign She confidently said: Excuse me, Young Margaret, For evading of Your wise question, But Will Durant sounds If very Thickly Spread. Margaret said ooh , ., And went to William Miller well enough Talking of the unthought things That no one thought before, Many people Think that Will Durant . Is nicer. ,, Would you like to try a little Will Durant Instead? Bill Miller said, Bother! And the he said, Oh, deary me! Bill Miller sobbed, Oh, deary me! And Went back to bed. Nobody, He whimpered, Could call me a fussy man, I only want One little thought That no one Thought before.

MCI-IENDRYK' From Personal Glimpses of Famous Women I found Miss Rhoades in her garden, a blue sunbonnet on her head, a fat tomato in each hand, and the juice of another on her face .... Miss Rhoades considers the tomato a prime factor in her success, for it has been the medium through which she has been able to come in contact with the common people. From the Private Life of Orrel M. Andrews Miss Andrews leads a comfortable life among surroundings she loves. Her pets, which love her dearly, are everywhere. When she enters the room the ostrich shyly extracts his head from under the sofa, the alligator yawns happily, while the goldfish blink a welcome and wag happy tails. She seats herself in an easy chair beside the dumb waiter, and Fido, her faithful servant, puts away her wraps and brings the dissect- mg pan and oysters. From My Diary fby Nelle Blumj I I am sore of body and weary'of mind. Today I ran out of gasoline .in front of a filling station on the K. C. road. I I thought myself lucky until I noticed the sign, Gaso- line 18 cents'. Now gasoline is really 25 cents a gallon. Therefore, if I know my logic, this was not gasoline. I was much dis- tressed until the boy inI charge, an ingen- ious fellow, raised the price for me. I had gone but a little way when aIrear wheel came off my car. A woman kindly offered her phone for me to call a garage man, but I didn't know what to tell him. Everyone knows that a car has four wheels. The object before he had only three. Ob- viously it was not a car. Much perplexed, I walked four miles home, leaving that which. was my car in the road. From the Inside Story of My Life fBy Emily Wyatth I I find it difficult to repress my dramatic sense sufficiently to carry on my work in the class room decorously. At home, how- ever, I give my art full play. I use not only my head and hands in talking, but my feet as well. In reading I rest my book on a music rack so that I may act-out the action unhamperedf' The Story of My Life Qby Elizabeth Hauckl I was born, unfortunately, in the year 1908, of fond but thoughtless parents. Due to their thoughtlessness, I shall never be- come President of the United States. They neglected to supply the log cabin 'and the cherry trees in the back yard were all peaches. I feel, however, that I shall be sufficiently capable of succeeding the mayor of Chicago-unless he makes the untimely discovery of Lady Godiva's English origin. I owe my long life to frequent abstinence from Listerine, Chesterfields, Instant Pos- tum for any other food where time enters ini, and the companionate marriage of Haldemann-Julius' daughter. The most embarrassing moment of my life was the realization that Mr. Colber recognized my wise-cracking mentality. I was mortified! And the most thrilling moment in my life was that moment when the B. F. said, All right, Betty.

That man's head has grown right up through his hair. Freshmen may be green and all that, but some of them certainly understand Master- pieces. They understand it so well that they take Preventive Med. instead. We wo-nder at the faith of those teachers who, after grading test papers, still believe that you get out of a thing just what you put into it. Teachers must be awfully dumb. Look how many questions they ask. When asked how he could eat so much, Billy explained that he has a double per- sonality. The dumbness of Frenchmen puzzles Bud.

Remember school nights, to keep them wholly for home work, five nights shalt thou study and write long papers, and on the sixth and seventh also. 3. Thou shalt not squeal. 4. Thou shalt not commit insultery. 5. Thou shalt not make light of thy teachers, or quote their names for emphasis.

Vie, like Alice, live in a wonderland, but ours is the real world of today. in it, both individuals and institutions must go as fast as they can to keep relatively where they are. Increasing thousands of boys and girls are going to college in order to keep pace with the demands of modern life. Colleges, too, must advance in order to keep pace with modern governmental, industrial, and other institutions, the success of which depends upon well educated men and women. Colleges are a social investment, paying high dividends in both material and spiritual wealth. The training they give is increasingly necessary to the very existence and growth of modern social institutions. Missouri is a pioneer in the junior college movement. St. Joseph is one of the first cities of the state to promote this movement. This fact means that St. Joseph is giving needed educational opportunity to many boys and girls who could not afford to go away to collegeg is justly decreasing and distributing the expense of educating her youth for greater service to the community and to the stateg is enabling her boys and girls in the critical character-forming period of life to live at home, under parental control and AQQ X-ff' ?

Parents with a vision of the increasing need of education-highly valuable members of any community-desire to make their homes and to rear their children in a city having the foresight to provide opportunity for advanced education. . In 1915, the junior colleges of Missouri enrolled only 808 students, last fall they enrolled 4,040 students, 2,701 in the first year's work and 1,339 in the second year's work. The entering classes were more than twice as large as the second-year classes. What a promise of growth! I can't believe that, said Alice. Can't you? the Queen said in a pitying tone. Try again, draw a long breath, and shut your eyes. The progressive citizens of St. Joseph, with eyes open to the facts, can believe and do believe in the new importance of education in our real wonderland. They believe that the maintenance of a junior college is a valuable community investment. As convincing evidence of this fact, stands Junior College of St. Joseph. ' ', il J. H.
