I hope I get, oh, a whole lot,” exclaimed the excited girl as she was preparing for school on St. Valentine’s day. “Just think the valentine box will be opened this afternoon. Oh! I hope I get lots of valentines.” “You will dearie,” returned her mother. “You will get lots of valen- tines I know.” And so she did. The first one hand- ed her was the Dart, and as she looked through it, lots of things caught her eye. For example their literary department. Every one of their stories she read she liked and their jokes though she had to hunt through the advertisements for them were very good. Their editorials also were good. The next valentine handed her was the Piqunoian and the first thing she noticed was the jokes though they were scattered through the paper they were worthh unting for. The editor- ials about better English were espec- ially fine she thought and in the last number she found a good story about “King Good English.” Two more val- entines were then handed her, the Wesleyan Transcript and Green and White. She liked these valentines very well as she did the Denisonian, Polytechnic and Wooster Voice, which she then received. She was then handed five valentines all in a bunch. The Herald had a very good literary department but she looked in vain for a joke. Two Senti- nels came next. All their stories were good, especially in the last number. Their exchange department was much improved but they need a few more jokes. There was an especially good editorial in the last issue. The Meg- aphone she liked very well as usual. In the Mirror she found some very good jokes and their literary depart- ment was excellent as was the literary department of the Fram. They had a large number of poems and a very good smilescope. The last valentines handed her were the Dragon and The Times. The Dragon was up to its standard, while The Times though small was well written and she liked it fine.

14 The Scarlet and Gray The elevation of mind ought to be the principal end of all our studies, which if they do not in some measure effect, they will prove of very little sendee to us.—Burke. If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him.—Franklin. Our greatest glory consists, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.—Goldsmith. It is so easy to find fault, that self- respecting persons ought to be ashamed to waste their energies in that way. The eyes of men are of no use with- out the obserbing power. Men’s evil manners live in brass; their virtues we write in water.— Obid, King Henry VIII. Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to complete- ly; in great aims and in small, I have always been thoroughly in earnest.— Dickens. Oft water greenest meadows, and the bird that flutters least is longest on the wing.—Cowper. To train the mind should be the first object and to stock it the next. —Gladstone. It is the danger least expected that sooneth comes to us.—Voltaire. Knowledge is not power; education is power. Have more than thou showest, Speak less than thou knowest, Lend less than thou owest, Leam more than thou trowest. —Shakespeare. In all things let reason be your guide.—Solon. He who knows most, grieves most for wasted time.—Dante. It is the Law of Influence that we become like those whom we habitually admire. Politeness is as natural to delicate natures as perfume is to flowers. What is spirit? No matter. What is matter? Never mind. What is mind? It is mateidal. If you wish to appear agreeable in society you must consent to be taught many things which you know already. If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or read things worth writing.—Franklin. Courtesy is the eye which one looks at a man’s broken garden gate, but see’s the rose, which blossoms in his garden.

16 The Scarlet and Gray The Receipe for a “Perfect” N. H. S. Fellow Take the face of Lowell Burnell, and the voice of Floyd Rosser. Thick- en with the body of Martin Lutz and stretch to the size of Elgin Miller. Mix in the agility of Raymond Patton and the courage of John Jackson. Di- lute the muscles of Cliff Hartley' with the disposition of Wheeler Newton. Moisten with the spirits of Don Mack- lin. Add a dash of Frank Ted row. Set on the stove and let it shimmy. Rub in the mind of Raymond Shaner and the talent of Virgil Brown. Stir with the heart of Paul Lowden. Add the strength of Noel Smith and the jealousy of William Lancaster. Flav- or with the charm of Harris Wood. Cover the whole thing with the luck of Clyde McDaniels and sprinkle lib- erally with the income of Carl Strat- ton. Harris Wood—“Say, Deak, why is it that you colored folks never wor- ry?” Deak H.—“Well, I will just tell you, you see it’s just like this: When a white man gets blue he sits down and starts to worry but when a colored man gets blue he sits down and just naturally falls to sleep.” Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust, Put them on the side walk or— You surely will bust. Dear Editor—Could you tell us why it is that Lee Pritchard is so anxious for the basket ball team to play a game at New Lexington ? He seems so anxious, Pm sure there is a reason. This Scarlet and Gray “Who’s Who Contest” had Frank Tedrow awfully scared, he was afraid that he would be humiliated by having his name in print, (as the best looking boy). Durward North (looking out the window)—“Miss Crawford, it’s rain- ing out side.” Miss Crawford—“Well, let it rain.” Durward—“That’s just what I in- tended to do.” “I don’t see why the maid left us,” said Mrs. Gabb, “I treated her just like one of the family.” “Yes,” replied Mr. Gabb, “that’s just the reason she left.” “Thex e’s lot’s of truth in adage that you can seiwe but one master.” “Did you ever have a wife and baby?” asked the fool. Paw Knows Everything. Willie—“Paw, what is the differ- ence between ‘Dental,’ and ‘Accident- al’?” paw—“Well if a dentist pulls your tooth, that’s ‘Dental,’ but if he breaks your jaw, it is ‘accidental.’ ” You can’t say that John Zeller is a coward, but he surely does think a lot of his Hyde. Customer—“Some hash, please.” Don Macklin (shouting back to the cookk)—“Clean up the kitchen.”
