A MORAL When the Saints started to sing Glory, Halleluja Satan began the Anvil Chorus. He was the first knocker. Finally he got so many to believe that the anvil was really sweeter than the harp, the Almighty lost patience, and when it was discovered that Satan had started a factory to manufacture hammers, his doom was sealed. So the word was passed along, the Saints tucked their robes into their belts, made a rush for Satan, and it was all over. Satan was cast out into utter darkness. A poet says he fell for three weeks. Therefore we have the following moral, Don't be a knocker. Miss Barker Cat phone in ofHceJ- Hello, Hattie, this is me. IN HISTORY Teacher-Locate Hawaii. Student Cout late night beforeb-Oh, alright, thank you. A Diploma is a certificate for weariness, a testimonial that a child has been consistently bored. Diligence is the yeast that makes the dough rise on pay-day, Found in a Physiography note book-A glacier is a hole in the ground that throws a spout of water out. There are two kinds of glaciers, hot and cold.

DO WE NEED A LARGER ARMY AND . . QNote-The editors feel as though it were a great privilege to publish such an original, appealing theme as the follow- ing. It was the first theme written by a member of the Class of '16 in the endeavor to keep this country prepared. It was only by underhandedness the article was obtained, as it was formerly a relic in the library.J Have any of you ever had a great pain of some sort? Of course you have, and you have a distinct remembrance of the suffering you went through. Now, multiply that pain by ten and couple it with the thot that death is a certainty, and you will have the feeling of the soldier who, while fighting for a foolish nation, has been shot with part of a huge shell thru the stomach and intestines. Picture yourself in a bloody trench, surrounded by dying men in the greatest possible agony, and knowing that at any moment you may share their suffering. But why, you ask, should we think of such things when we belong to a rich and powerful country? Haven't we a large enough navy to protect ourselves until men are trained to pro- tect this free country from being overrun by ruthless foreign- ers? Well, perhaps. Of one thing I am sure, this land will never fall into the hands of a conqueror, because we should fight if we had to, but-why should we ever be attacked by a foreign nation? We are rich, we waste lots of money which could go to supporting a large army and navy, and by so doing we would eliminate the sufferings and privations of a long and disastrous war. Stop! Look! Listen! Would not you rather spend un- needed money now for protection than be wounded or killed. Do we want to be in the position France, England, Germany and Russia are now. We do not need the militarism of Ger- many, merely a large, efficient navy which could easily protect our coast. NAVY?
