CLASS HYMNS. QTO be sung in the chapel every morning.j I. Sweet hour of Ohm! sweet hour of Ohm, That makes me think of 4' Home, sweet home, And bids me when the testingls o'er Take my way toward the door. In times when curves would come to grief, My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the mark of fair By the return of curves so rare. Sweet hour of Math, sweet hour of Math, May I neler forget the chance for wrath As from the room we quickly glide Each other's troubles to confide. Are you, rny classmate, nearly dead, Or feel too big about your head? Don't look as if you ran amuck, But use a 4' pony just for luck. Sweet hour of Pie, sweet hour of Pie, I'll eat one more, lie down and die. As Pm half killed by trouble strong just call the wagon with the gong. Of pie no more l'll eat a hit, As I clon't care to take a Bat, And as we leave the good old cafe, We'll thank DuBree, at last we're safe. Ze 1. O beauteous quadratics l Emblems of simplicity, Thy sight we love. We love thy'x's and y's, They make us feel so wise, Wlien ev'ry B,boy tries, Ye from above. 82

THE NEVER-lNTEND-TO-WORK CLUB. Pr.esz'dmf: JULES E. MASTBAUM. Wee Pam-z'r1e1zz.' BERTRUDE MOYER. Sew'ef1zry.- DLCKY SCOTT. 7i'efz.vw'er.' BILLIE LAXVRENCE falso Committee of Sevenj. MEMBERS-ALL OFFICERS. HE people of this industrious organization are made known to the public by a white tag on their lapels. And any person desiring to spend some money has simply to ask the assist- ance of one ofthe crowd, and they will even exceed a reporter on one of our dailies tpaperj. We are not all money killers,however, and the number who live off this club you could not count on the fingers of both handsg but the great fellow to play for a farmer is lVlasty. A nickel can be generally coaxed from this individual, especially if you say something about going for the bivalves after school. A complaint came in from the treasurer, because he could not give receipts fast enough' for the assessments which came in to pay sick benelits. There was always a minus quantity in the treasury, however, and a few ofthe officers would have liked this explained, and talked of getting Auditor Zieber to go over the books, but as nothing ever went down on the credit side, and the benehts were always paid by checks Qfor sodaj, the members bribed themselves by a Celluloid mock orange pie between them to keep the matter quiet. This alclermanic procedure would not be exposed exceptfor the conscience ofthe Writer, which kicked up a tremendous fuss under the lower part of his vest, after eating the pie, that he was compelled to give away on the crowd out of revenge.
