Wouldn ' t it give a thrill to you To explore strange unknown countries— To discover something new? That is what we ' ve all been doing, And we ' ve found the traveling rough, For we had no class traditions. Pioneering, then, was tough.- ' Yes, indeed, we ' ve had our troubles — Lunch-line, Prom and Mirror too, In the course of which dissensions We have found a lot to do. Now of course we ' ve made mistakes, As humans very often do, But just the same, we ' ve tried our best; What more could anybody do? Nineteen z:z ' :Lc.

rX ii:i: i ' ;i;iiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiafcwgsg J M I K K O K MAGISTER LOQUITUR Take your seats, please. Remember, no talking after you sit down. There are a few things that I would like to take up before the lesson. I don ' t seem to have your prose for any day this week, Walter; I would like very much to see some of your daily work as well as that which you do on Saturday. Tommy, paragraph .543, No. 13 and No. 19, and paragraph 576, 19, 21, and 24 I haven ' t gotten from you or Antoinette. — Thank you. I don ' t mind correcting a paper it it ' s with a number of others, but to get my book out and do everything spe- cially for one paper is a great deal of trouble. Let me see, for today the lesson was to translate chapter seven and nine lines of chapter eight and to go over six very carefully. Well, Lois, can you give us a resume of chap ter six, trans- lating the last five lines which we didn ' t finish yesterday? — (she does it) — Yes, that ' s clearer than usual, you seem to be able to translate all right but you have a hard time grasping the general meaning. That will do. Now. Billy, will you start today ' s assignment. — (it is started) — That was very well done. However, in line three, what case do you think ' Accusationibus ' is? I think you made it dative. — Yes, that ' s right, it is ablative, do you see that? How do you decline ' Familiaris ' in line four, Louise, — No. I mean Louise Fentress. — ' e ' in the ablative singular? — Yes, that ' s better, why? — Now, Walter, we ' ll try you out. — (this signifies the passing of three minutes of dead silence) — What seems to lie the trouble? Did you think that I wasn ' t going to call on you today? Well, I make it a custom to call on people like you who think that just because they are called on one day they won ' t be called on the next, as Mr. Boal, here, knows. I see your eyes roving around the room more than anyone else ' s. Your inattention is greater than the combined inattention of the whole class. You need the benefit of the others ' work, especially as you find Cicero a little difficult. All right now, Stiles, will you straighten him out? — Yes, 1 think that ' s clear now. If there are no questions we will go on to the next as the time is a little short. And, before the bell rings, your tomorrow ' s assignment is all of chapter eight, it ' s a little short but we must catch up some- how, I guess you have your prose, and, Knox, will you wait a minute after class? I have something to see you about. Now, Betty, will you go on — oh! that ' s right, you explained it to me before class. Well, Pete, suppose you try it. — That ' s very good, you have come to yourself again and you show a great im- provement over your work before Christmas. Nancy, will you continue — wait until we settle this little discussion at the front table; no, Larney, you ' re wrong, Billy ' s right, it is a ' chiasmus. ' Now, Nancy, go on. — You didn ' t get this part very well? I didn ' t hear you asking me about it before class the way the rest of them do, when they are troubled. Now this is really quite easy, see if you can ' t do it. Try our old Freshman way, pick out the subject, then the verb, then the object, and then work down to where you left off, and so on. Well, there goes the bell — don ' t forget your prose as you go out. Eighteen iixssiimx lfc

M I R R R POSTAL-CARD RACI One day when I was in a store, I happened to see a postal-card rack containing cards on which were pictured many attractive-looking young girls. I took one out to look at and saw a girl, fairly tall, with light hair, superintending a Sunday School, yelling — Come on, you kids! I thought I ' d pick out some more to send to a few of my former classmates at North Shore. I picked out many others. On one was a short puella — The Charleston Railroad Jack — E. Klein. On the next was a very straight figure studying over the piano — Miss Sherman in her youth. My eye was then attracted by a very stunning girl reclining in a chaise-longue, with Kirks soap wrappers strewn all over the floor. On the following card was a short girl with dark bobbed hair, and a tall one singing a duet — None Shall Part Us, sung by the Misses Cushman and Pope on all of their programs. Turning the rack around, I saw a very beautiful girl toe-dancing — Miss McKeown in the Follies. A well-dressed miss was on the next card, and awaiting her was a snappy roadster with a Deer- field pennant flying from it — Miss McKay, the famous model. A familiar scene was on the following card — F. Alschuler, dashing forward on the All Chicago Hockey Team. Continuing my search, I took one out with a girl on it sitting in a chair with a plaid dress on — For soft comfortable clothing, use Miller ' s plaid materials. I chose another announcing the opening of the new offices of D. Ferry — Nose and Throat Specialist. On my twelfth and last was a fairly tall, slim person tearing along in a car with a bright ribbon tied around her head — Help keep your hair neat-looking by wearing a ' B. Warren ' head-band. BOOK REVIEWS Judging Janet — An extremely interesting book; full of laughs, and very peppy. Eleanor ' s Elegy — A story of a girl who sings her way through life. Jesting Jeanne — Very like the title; full of wise cracks, and very colloquial. Winsome Winnie — This displays the vivacity of a girl who has just returned from Europe. Beautiful Betty — This is the more romantic type of novel. The heroine is a most stunning girl, and popular with everyone. Fighting Frances — This shows the purely athletic side of a well-liked American girl. I am sure everyone will enjoy the story of this girl ' s experiences in hock- ey and basketball. Educating Emmy — It tells the school life both abroad and at home of an excep- tionally peppy girl. Educating Emmy is a best seller and there are very few who have not read it. Smiling Susan — Always laughing is this school girl. Anyone will get a smile out of this book. Kicking Klein — The history of a young girl who Charlestons in a French Caba- ret. Her experiences are most unusual. Eloquent Ellie — The adjective eloquent is used because the girl, Ellie, elo- quently describes how one ought to be nice to everyone. Directress Doris — This girl is the leader of her class, and it is very amusing to watch how she leads her wayward school friends along the straight and narrow path. Soliloquizing Shirley — In which she tells of the brain-racking trials she has in trying to accurately describe her fellow classmates. Twenty raam aK agai iii.wi niimiim ussa ama s .
