The Home-Stretch Dash. BEING A LIVELY DESCRIPTION OF THE LAST OF THE FOUR GREAT HEATS IN THE SENIORS' FINAL EXAIVIINATIONS. OST XYorthy Reader! Oli the many human events V which take place on this chunk of matter known as Earth few, if any, are as marvelous in char- acter or stupendous in outcome as the one which I am about to describe. It is i11 the closing days of April that divers an- nouncements and bulletins proclaim the coming of the Seniors' Final Exams. Simultaneously begins the noise of active prepara- tion.

The great telescope in the Observatory out on Ht. Lookout, wheels around of its own accord, and points directly to the College Building, to witness the rare phenomena. The Ohio River suddenly becomes agitated, and huge waves dash upon the banks with such unspeakable fury, that all steamers and river craft pull into port. Even the German Band, disheartened at being out- done, throw away their horns and take to their heels in breathless terror. One by one the terrible Seniors file into Taylor Hall and take their places. It is a matter of only a few
