fel©0 ftj Edwin Ashcraf t : I had a most cordial and engag- ing letter the other day from the Iceland Bugler, a well-known paper up there in the north, stating that the fame of my budding journalistic ability had reached them. They are extremely anxious to have me as a special correspondent from the South Sea Isles, when I am through absorbing the knowl- edge which the leading educational institutions in the country have to offer me. I am seriously con- sidering this position and shall probably accept it. The Misses Ruth Holloway and Mariette Cassels: By the time our education is completed, the two of us will have traveled widely throughout the old and new world. We both feel that we shall be compe- tent enough and have sufficient knowledge to run a sight-seeing bus by that time. Egypt, (Illinois) will probably be our chief center. (There ' s a lot in a name, you know.) Miss Barbara Tapper: You have heard the old saying, Mr. Reporter, that practice makes perfect? By the time I ' ve left school I will have gained much skill in that form of oratory usually known as arguing. I shall either establish a Correspondence School for debaters or tour the country and make stump speeches on any of the current topics. John Shaw: An interpreter of dreams seems to me to be a job which requires little effort physically and not much mentally. It appeals to me more than anything I can think of at the present. I can ' t wait to sit at a little table and gaze into a lustrous crystal ball. I know I ' d look well in long flowing black robe and a peaked hat with some stars and crescents on it. Don ' t you think so? Miss Alice Brown: I am at present considering the idea of teaching geometry at the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind School at Hoboken. Rather . ! n cult undertaking, but then that sor t of thing appeals to my logical brain. I may throw in a little physiology for good measure, too. My first few years of experience will have been derived from teaching at the school I am now attending. Miss Elizabeth Clore: Whenever any of my friends have difficulty in putting up their unwildy tresses they call upon me for assistance. Besides practicing on them ever so often I arrange my own every morning in a most elaborate coiffure. By the time my education is supposedly completed I shall have had ample experience for running a hair-dressing parlor. In fact I have already selected a charming name for it.

THE MIRROR 23 The Inquiring Reporter (With apologies to the Tribune) Question: What are your plans for the future, when your education is com- pleted (supposedly)? Where asked: At the North Shore Electric Station, famous for its hot line. P. F. Williams: What ' s that? Well, I haven ' t made many plans. I ' m thinking of whistling for vaudeville. I get a lot of practice around here, and I know some pretty good tunes. My rendering of Down in Arkansas vocally makes a big hit at this place, too. Miss Elsie Blatchford: While I greatly enjoy singing and am considered to have a most unusual voice, dancing appeals to me most. I am seriously considering the idea of teaching dancing. Miss Sarah Meads: Having had much experience in handling Fords I am planning on running a Ford Garage and Taxi Service. I am extremely fond of children, so shall probably run a Ford Truck in connection with the garage and carry the little ones to and from school. Miss Beulah Stixrud: Although I do not, of course, consider Hollywood to be one of the choicest districts in the country, I want to live near there in order to be in the neighborhood of those darling actors. To see Rudolph in person is one of my greatest desires; and as for coming under the spell of Bill Hart ' s piercing gaze — well — I simply can ' t wait. Miss Katherine Adams: My greatest ambition is to serve my fellow countrywomen. The most useful article a present day woman needs is a comb for bobbed hair which will not come out when she indulges in any sort of exercise. It is my aim to invent such a comb. | S iEfi ' D5-TA q| IplgJlMl iSPSife . — i h gfl5

Ashcraft Junior Jingles There was a young lady named Kay, Who was quite the studious jay. She deserves lots of credit For our class she does head it, And she ' s loads of fun, too, is our Kay. We ' ve a classmate, Mariette, by name, Who to North Shore just recently came. Though we ' ve not known her long, She is one of our throng, And we ' ll always be glad that she came. Barbara came to our class just this year, Is she bright? Oh yes, no one need fear; Does she study? No, never, But she is so clever She can bluff in each class pretty near. In our class there ' s a young man called Jasper, Always aims to be just a bit faster, To North Shore one day, He wended his way, Oh my! What a dreadful disaster. There was a young scholar named Pep, Who never once thought of his rep. He can wiggle his ears As in class, it appears; This jolly young fellow named Pep. The voung man called Edwin the Third Thought he was a superior bird; But he looked in the mirror And sighed, with a shiver, I belong to the old common herd.
