THE TILLICUM PERPLEXITY I sit at my desk bewildered and sigh, If ever a student were troubled 'tis I. I've stories to write and poems to compose, And how Iim to get them, nobody knows. Geometry's hard and Latin is too, There's no one to help me, what shall I do? If History and English would just do themselves. My books would get dusty upon the shelves. I say to my classmates, 'Tm going to quit school, And be sure of sunshine and not mind the rule. And they all declare with hands held on high, Than to leave all their subjects, they would rather die. Or stay where they are, now that's just the way, I go to the professor, he's nothing to say. The way out of study, I ni'er can decry, If every a student were troubled tis I. --Georgia Fettis, '21 DON'TS Don't chew gum at school, it makes the teacher hungry. Don't promenade in the halls after 9:00 A. M. Take your beau- ty walk before or after school hours. Don't whisper in school, secrets in company aren't good man- ners. Don't chew your pencil, you are not following the fuel admin- istrators advice when you eat wood. Don't pull the dandelions for corsages, it disfigures our lawn. Don't file your nails in school, it makes the air dusty. Don't wear gaudy dresses to school, spetacles are expensive. Don't talk unless you,ve something to say. Save your energy for work. ' Donit watch the clock during recitation hours. You'l1 stop the hands. Don't whisper in school, you'll disturb those who are asleep.

THE TILLICUM I ll Ill ll 1 4 I I HilllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlIllIlllllllllllllllllltllllIllllllllllllllllllllll l l MY AMBITION My ambitions is to become King of the Bolsheviks. I will hrst win their love and sympathy by furnishing them with bombs, nitro- glycerine, poison gas, liquid fire, and all frightful means of destruc- tion and slaughter. Men under my employ will then circulate among them, praising my virtue and intelligence. When I have won the crown, I will pass laws requiring all Bolsheviks to shave, take a bath and buy a hair-cut once a year, Whether they need them or not. This will almost break their hearts but I shall be strict and have all laws enforced. Right now it will take all my virtue, intelligence and ambition to get a passing grade in English so that the 4'KingU may rest in peace. --Clifford, ,22 Y I sl Fixing the Blame. Can you keep a secret, Nota? I cang but itis just my luck to tell things to other girls who can't.,'
