Eliarultg Glhangvu Changes in our lylorris faculty are like those in a human face, gentle and subtle for the most part, at rare times sharply sudden. Ninth lvlonth of nineteen hundred and fourteen added twenty to our house- hold of good-will. Their welcome names are below, and we espe- cially greet Miss Lowd, who comes from our strenuous neighbor, VVashington Irving. Hut our losses,-there's the rub. bliss Scharff, Mr. Schaum- loeffel, Mr. Theobald,-dear to the Gallic tongue, the laboratory and the gun team,-have been transferred to other schools. The unbe- lievable has happened when Mr. Pyne, of the Old Guard, no longer fills his many-sided place in Morris. Believe us, friend, they cannot play with you in Evander Childs in quite the same fashion that we used here. The 1897 roll call will no longer be answered by lVliss Lippert, also, who has by unceasing devotion to Morris, won retire- ment. And our well-loved lVIiss Diedrich,-still here in example, still here in spirit,-often here, we hope, in we miss you, woman of inspiring courage, noble soul. Those who come: Mxss Lowu MR. BIRNBAUYVI Miss FERRIS MR. FINK MR. CQAYLOR Miss HARTLEY MR. Hrss Miss HUNT MR. INMAN MR. KELLY Miss LEPERE Miss MCCORMACK Miss MCCARTHY Miss PAGET person,-we greet you, of unbroken cheer, of Miss PRocToR MR. ROSENBERG MR. RITTER Miss SABIN MR. Srkixuss MR.

A Hninieh Artirle nn an Efark IS Royal Highness the Tack is a juvenile nail, and E' as youth always lacks discretion, this accounts for . i the youngster's not knowing its place and keeping ' it. It is very simple and unpretendmg when viewed L from a distance, but the closer you come in Contact with it, the surer you are to feel its presence. It is one of those instances where familiarity does not breed contemptg in fact, the nearer you come to it, the more you grow to respect its penetrating ways. In an argument, the tack is never otherwise than sharp and pointed, though unfortunately at times it comes to blows and frequently loses its head. Anyone who has had dealings with the tack, knows that it is also very sharp at repartee, especially when hard pressed for a reply. The display of these characteristics always depends upon the amount of pressure employed in order to elicit an answer. Many in this country favor tax on raw material, but few, I think, favor raw material on tacks. The tax is frequently blamed for the rise in prices, and this is not extraordinary, since the tack has from time immemorial had a propensity to cause a rise in things withwhich it came in contact. Nevertheless, if you are wise, you will never get down on a tack, for it is always sure to take revenge. Tacks are in season and out of season. Like the if small boy, they are always around. They select the spring-time, however, for their grandest assemblies, and a at that time occur the grandest bawls and the most tr ' numerous Hops on record. A little later they take W Q51 up bicycling and frequently enjoy a spin. The bicycle has a natural tendency to pick up the little fellows when , it comes to them, and carry them until it becomes tired. By walking the Hoor in your bare feet fa well-kept room will generally produce about three tacks to the square footb you will see that the tack is a direct contrast to a good joke for the amusement always begins before you see the point. It is surprising how much tacks resemble human be- x ings. They have their ups and downs in life, sometimes they are very bright and then again they are very blue. Human beings, however, crave sympathy, but the tacks do not, and no matter how much you may feel for the little fellows they are always sure to warn you that you are on dangerous ground. We 12
