LEROY HUDSON LEE BIERK , LEONHARD BERGMANN Roll over, Hamlet, and see who's here. A guy that put the E in Easy on examination day and didn't even iind the F in Finals. When there's nothing else to do, be dignified. Let us have wine, women, mirth and laughter: sermons and soda- water the day after. The good die young-here's hoping he lives to a ripe old age. Smile und the worldt smiles mit you, laugh und the worldt will roar: cry and the worldt will leave you, und nefer come back no more. Long live the Kaiser! THE TUBA 1915

GYLE CONRAD LAURA KIESLER EDWARD A. ROBB The uinstigator of all evils. Let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth. Don't work except when you have to: you'll have plenty to do at that. Woman-she needs no eulogy she speaks for herself. He wrote these roasts: but don't charge him with libel, charge him with electricity. May his soul rest in glory three weeks before the Devil knows he's dead. THE TUBA 1015

Senior Hlstory E admit it Having now outgrown the disgrace we admit it four years ago we were freshmen There were twen ty of us And then there was Algebra Agriculture English and Ancient History that made twenty four Those four stu dents we didnt like at all but it took us a year to persuade the faculty that they were undesirable members of the class for like all freshmen we re embled the cedar tree green both summer and winter Agriculture was the subiect of most interest to us for we ob tained the use of the laboratory And Breathes there a man with soul so dead that never to himself hath said Stop throwln that corn or Ill break your head? This is a reference to the Preliminary Europea 1 War carried on in the laboratory A laboratory is theoretically used for experiments but when it s turned over to freshmen it s liable to be both a battle field and a grave yard Once upon a time in this partitulai laborfi tory corn was furnished to be tested We understood that it was to be tested to find its efficiency for dumdum bullets so half the class became intrenched behind some benches and the other half being located on .1 ridge behind fortifications furnish- ed by several experiment tables the battle was begun. The light artillery kept up a constant volley of grains of corn the air being occasionally rent by the roar of cannons which hurled whole ears of corn high into the air. The battle would undoubtedly have continued forever without either side gaining the advantage had not neutral nations which were molested by stray bullets received re-enforcements from the faculty. This event taking place, the battle immediately ceased. This, and several similar events almost finished our freshmen year be fore it was begun but it is nevertheless characteristic of each day in the whole year And it came to pass that after we were freshmen we were sophomores We were twelve who once were twenty Part of us had been killed in the battle part of us had been persuaded by the faculty that it would not be to the interest of our future welfare to discontinue our freshmen year part of us had quit school thinking too much is enough and part of us still were part of us And we found that Snyder was one of us Twas in this manner by Heck At the beginning of the year we were introduced by Mr Reaves to our old friend Geo Metry Perhaps you ve met G ometry He s an awful contrary sort of a fellow he wont be lieve anything you say but looks wise and tells you to prove it And it came to pass that we were asked to prove that two straight lines parallel to the same straight line were parallel to each other Now the supposition that we didnt know this was preposterous. It was insulting. We expostulated that we knew it before we cut our first tooth. But this was unavailing and we were met with a most exasperating statement- Prove it. And it came to pass that Mr. Snyder came upon the scene. He explained. He demonstrated. Then he looked at us with one of those don't-you-wish-you-had-good-sense expressions on his face. At length we comprehended. Develop this cir- cumstance to the 365th power and the result will be our sopho- more year. But there is one other important consideration-we studied l11l1111l11111111.1111111111111.11.111 .11 11 1. .1.111' 1 1 1111111 1' 111 1 111.1 11111 .11 111 1 1. 1111.111111'111,,111 11111111111111111111111111111111u111111111.mnul11111111-11111..:l11u11ml1m11ml tIIulIIIllllllilllltlllullmlu eq o a , . . . . 1 . . . . - 1 . . 1 X -' U - ' 1 1 1 i i ' ' - ' 1 1 ' -' ' ' - - ' 1 ' ' . , . . . , - . 1 1 , S L 1 . 1 ' 1 . tt 1 . , - . . . . 4 - - . , K , . - 1 1 11 - - ' ' ' . . . . - 1 ' I . - - . . h .
