CERULEA of time 10 Ruminate and Solilnquize on the Selfishness of Some People. Next came a Bunch of Boys who had been Fooling Around, and who spoke in this manner to their Friends in the Line: iiSay Gink, slip me a Couple oi Sandwiches and a Bottle of Milk. W'hen the poor Subject of our Discourse heard these things he de- duced the Fact that instead of being Twenty-Mth in Line, he was was virtually chenty-fifth. The Injustice and Heedlessnese of his classmates had placed him so far Behind that when he secured his lunch the noon hour was fully Three-quarters gone; hence he had. 130 Time left in which to write a Good Story for English. MORAI.:-If you would Eat, you must Tramp on the Necks of your classmates until you Get what ynu Want. V. E, McCutchan, '11. i3 '2'th the 1271116 'inugbeb CALIFORNIA spring is certainly anything but gentle when it is heralded, as it usually is, by one of those blinding, choking, whirling sand storms called nSanta Alias. It was a day like this, when the horizon was yellow with dust, that the little Freshman girl mounted the Willows locai to find that The Boy was on the same can No wourler her heart beat faster, for she was under going her Erst case of hero worship; and , although 5hr: little suspected it, The Boy had long admired her from afar, even if he was too bashful to speak to her. As The Girl stepped from the car she dropped her new Intmv ductory Latin. and in an instant the winrl had whirled the loose papers out of reach. The Boy saw his chance and, with the amused upper classmcu shouting encouragement, he started in pursuit. Soon ail the papers had been captured except one, which was especially frisky and, although several times almost within his reach, each time darted mischievousiy away. Finally it was held against a fence by the force of the wind, and as he seized it he saw, to his surprise, his own name written all over the page. After one glance. he hurried back to where The Girl stood. blushing painfully, and handed the papers to her with the unruly one on top. As she thanked him she saw what was on the paper. and for an instant they looked at each other. Then, as he saw a laugh in her eyes, The Boy asked, Will you go to the Huntington Beach debate with me?

CIERULEA Sprmg Spring is coming. W'c all know it is. For nne rmsou it has always begun to scntl its messengers about this time, and why should it fail now? We have nuticell it more this week perhaps. W'e heard the little frog croaking umler our window last night; and he promised rain, which means spring, every timel What if the groundhog did see his shadow back East? Didn't a perfectly reliable business man swear on his honor he saw a robin looking perfectly natural on a twig of a chcrry trcc? And yet another sign. The girls have hcgun to talk dress, and select their coslmnes for conmwncemenl. No doubt if you could catch thcm nnawares snmc day, you would End them with a text book in one hand and the latest styles in the other! G. M. Garey, '12. Lells let the nRack alone, Have you put your wheel in the shed today? How about student hotly membership? Vthrc are you? 0:0mmlsslon Government We of the Student Body are about to vote upon a. most im- portant question-whether or not we shall be governed hereafter by the commission plan 01' government in place of the old long bal- lot system. This new plan supplants complexity with simplicity. We have a defmite body to blame and to praise; it utilizes all valv ued material; strong, clean, cFBcienL government will result. Abolition of party spirit spells unity. Get together; pull for greater Long Beach; and vote for commission government, and lay the foundation for the ideal student body. On account of the lack of space, many stories receiving hon- orable mention by the judges could not be printed. The students who so loyally supported the Cacrulea by writing these poems or stories arc: Louise Horton, Nettie Pike, Glen Hughes, Vesta Cor- nell, Helen Bugbee, Katrine Miller, Joseph Maltby, Fred Weaver, Lucile Stroud, Doris Durkee, l?crn Browning and Hazel Arm? strong.
