UNDEIQGIQADUATES REPLY ' t last a method has been discovered to rid our fair school of the refuse - l 1 If and mental misfits which have been running around here for the last QA V four years. lt is really a wonder that someone didn't thinlc of it long 1,5 ago, before this bunch of uneducated and idiotic imbecileshad become That method is merelyfgraduationl as omnipresent and menacing to the entire school as they have recently. Cf course, these mentally dwarfed lcindergarteners Ccommonly called seniors to prevent any inferiority complex which might exist: however, there is no danger of thatl could never actually graduate, but the faculty and undergrads unanimously feel that it is forthe good of the school fond everything elsel that such overfed, thyroid-striclcen first-graders be gotten rid of in any way whatsoever as quiclcly as possible. It is true, of course, that these specimens of unusual mental inebriation have increased physically quite a lot since they first infested the rooms and corridors of our school, their asylum, but mentally, no. Let us talte a very, very short glance into the home-cell of those unfortunate and over- confident block-heads Cto stay longer than a short time would probably prove dangerousb. We first find mental infants lilce Willcox, 0'Brien, and Weiler attempting, unsuccessfully of course, to pass off their pitiful witticisms onthe wide-eyed and obviously thoroughly frightened freshmen, who have been lured in there by the utter fascination of seeing a real, 'live, asylum at worlc. Cf course, the retorts of the freshmen to the cracl4s of the above mentioned, men- tally unbalanced, so-called students, are far above their heads. The female element is no better. Westcott and Leman contribute their share to the bed- lam. McMullen, Cook, Carey, Card, and Spencer are also among the group of pitiful and uncomprehending mental failures. Then they have their 'fbrain-trusts , too. Loolc at Aronson, Deady, Cummings, and Snyder. Although these prodigies put up a great front at being highly educated and cul- tured, they are really no greater than their fellow inmates, they have merely succeeded in assuming a feeling of great importance, due, no doubt, to their pitiful mental condition. And so, they are now leaving us. We cannot express the great joy that fills our hearts as we thinlc of their parting, for we lcnow that without this group of mentally deficient morons to hold us baclc, the school can, after four long years of struggle with them, once again return to normal activity, under the guiding hand of the present undergraduates. So now, as we bid so-longf' to you, instead of saying, Good luclc-you'll need it , in all seriousness we are going to state, 4'You've done a great iobelceep it up! Duncan Nl. Copley, Jr. '39
