Call for Billy Sunday! Pk Pk Pk Tilden's famous warnhorse has been seen around school lately, groomed by Tom Williams. From Indian featherweights to Excelsior twin is some jump, Tom. Pk Pk Pk It was certainly a sad day for the whole school when our old friend and master, Mr. Humphries, commonly called Dido, on account of his Hpulcherima forma, left to join the rest of the Liberty Boys, in their journey up to American Lake. For the last three years, ever since 3? he began teaching here in 1914, Dido has been a true friend to us all, both on the field and in school, and it surely struck us very hard when Mr. Potter told us that Mr. Humphries had been called to do his Hbitf' for the U. S. Before he left Dean Folger, the school president, presented him with a few practical gifts from the school. On the morning of his departure, Dido made a short farewell speech, after which the whole school trooped down to the sidewalk and, as he started off in the Studebaker, gave him nine lusty cheers. Many of us have received letters from him, telling us of his new life and how much he enjoys it. We have been very happy to hear also that he has become a sergeant. This does not surprise us greatly, however, for there are very few things Dido can't do, once he has made up his mind. ,S ,, .6 By the appearance of the locker room on the morning after Hallowe'en, it was evident that either a cyclone or Tige Hayne had hit it. Public sentiment seems to favor the latter as the culprit. It is quite possible that Tige was on one of his numerous eat hunts, and everyone knows what a ferocious, and dangerous being he is once he espies his quarry. It seems that on this same night Professors Brown and Horsford were rudely disturbed by some of the members of the school. It is a wonder that some people would not have more respect for their instructors. Pk Pk Pk ' Where are those spats? Pk Pk Pk Queer what a lot of new Potter pins were required this year, isn't it? Probably a new issue had to be gotten out at Miss Burke's also. Never can tell! ' Pk Pk Pk has demoralized the racquet champions. Pk Pk Pk No questions answered for ten minutes! Hodges, for heaven's sake, put your hand down! 4. .k Pk We are wondering when the sixth class will get its holiday for keeping clear of demerits. Probably when the Germans capture Paris. Pk Pk Pk As Caesar would say, Our Greenbaum is a man of exceeding courage. He must have had a spasm of bravery the day he got up and told the school what difference latitude has upon temperature. ,F ,, ,,.

Although he can do many things, he cannot achieve the impossible. pk ,,, ,, Jack Payne got wind of a plot to shave his first growth. Luckily for him, he had a clear upper lip the next morning. Dk Dk Pk We have finally found the reason why Wheeler and Hayne are always so anxious to go down to the Mechanical Drawing Room. As someone has said, There's a new one passes every day? ,,. A ,,. Certain members of the first class have been seen around Heald's College at noontime. There surely is quite an attraction. Pk Pk Pk . Our motorcycle squad has changed for the better. Mushy has abandoned his old f's1ngle for a Twin. Williams is now the proud possessor of Tilden's Old i'EXC6lS1OI'.7 ' And Tod has replaced his old war horse with an enormous Hlndianf' Pk Pk Pk Mr. Dean is having a hard time to control his first English class, so great is its excitement as the climax of Burke's Conciliation draws near. :ie :ze ac ' Mr. Potter's idea of changing from the long tables to the small round ones was a great success. There is only one luncheon period now. Pk Dk Dk The Spanish boarding house seems to agree with Mr. Horsford. He surely gets his Spanish lessons down pat. Pk Dk :lf Tynan's Overland is certainly a marvelous car. It is wonderful the way it stands up under such harsh abuse from its master. It is a one-man car and no mistake, for it will start only when Tiny' ' himself kicks it. And the clutch is an absolute superfiuity. When Tiny shifts, he simply yanks away, and after a little persuasion and scraping, behold! he has shifted-truly a wondrous trained car. Pk Pk PIC Why is Tige Hayne always in such a hurry to reach St. Helena Friday after- noons? Why has he stopped consuming doughnuts? Why does he wear such bril- liant neckerchiefs? And why does he keep his f'flivver in the country all the time? These questions lead us to believe that Big Whoof is no longer a rabid woman- hater. It must be remembered that there are a number of families of Spanish origin in St. Helena and it is not at all unlikely that the gentleman in question has become enamoured of one of the black-eyed damsels.
