It is rumored by those in a position to know, that he was the charming raison d'6tre for several delightful affairs given by the sub-debutante set of the peninsula. THE FOOLISH DICTIONARY Automobile-From Eng. ought tof' and Latin moveo, to rnovef' A vehicle that ought to move but frequently can't. Dust-Mud with the juice squeezed out. Polecat-An animal to be killed with a pole, the longer the pole the better. Shirt-Every man's bosom friend. A J ug-For the correct definition of this word we refer you to A. Knight, Esq.

Dana Fuller, in an interview with our reporter, made it known that he is the proud father of the pioneer motor cycle on the Pacific Coast.

This prized gallery contained among many others the famous portrait of Phyllis Haver, by Machiavelli d'Sennet. The coming game, Faculty vs. Varsity, promises to be a treat to all lovers of the national sport. Mr. Damon, the life andhope of the faculty team, is staging a little hold-out at present, but we believe he only needs a bit of persuasion to bring him around. ' This department was painfully alkalied to notice that an extract from last yearls issue was used by one of our contemporaries and claimed as original. Let us suggest that the offenders get into the habit of putting HEX. after their articles, as most of them go well under that heading. Fifty-seven

THE POTTER SHIELD A little bird informs us that Mr. and Mrs- JOHGS make excellent Chaperones' Ask the Juniors, they know. I The 51.15555 of '19 and '20 are all up on their toes over the approaching dance. The gwit gate is May twenty-fourth, and we predict that many, many things will happen that evening before the mystic hour of twelve breaks uputhe revelries. .ii--1-1'-1 . Bee-muse it savors too much of Bolshevism, we will refrain .from mentioning C . the Potter Luncheon in this issue. A ' I i A ,il e April twenty-third will be recorded in the annals of school history as themost notable day since the birth of Louis Greene's moustache. On this day, for the first time known to the public, Harold and Horace each wore different colored l it shirts. Alas, that time should bring about such tragediesl' . Why is it that- if A Fuller never shaves? A Horst never has his hair cut? L ' A Dido never wearsra rosein his buttonhole any more? A Lermen wears a fancyvest? A A Somers never does? P ' i A Jackson smells of the wee, fmodest violet? A Knight is never where you look for him? A - A Stone is? CThe joke is accidentalj ' - - A Tilton is happy on Monday, but on Friday the same Tilton is a- howling man-eater? , . , - 1 r .

Esberg. ,Delightfully informal and gay, the guests motored down to Woodside enjoyed one of those ehie little lunches for which Mr. Esberg is famous, and returned to town over the moonlit highway. Although as yet our reporters have been unable to discover who was present at this affair, nevertheless the have t Y no i h ' ' , unearth those who enjoyed Mr. Esberg's hospitaligityien up Ope, and Suu mean to .

Just as Lent comes to an end she comes back agam. Q ,-,,...... If Griffin may be considered a fashion authority, corduroy breeches will be quite the thing from now on. At least in Alameda. Tl is fear's Junior-Class Picnic was quite a success. The class motored down 1 3 the peninsula with the ladies of their choice, lunched at the Sixteen-Mile House, staggered around on the verdant green and finally hoofed it back to town. ii-1llfi' , Carmel-by-the-Sea is getting a worse reputation than Mexicali for border wickedness. Our little Allen starts a gang fight every time he goes down there, which is quite often. From the way Fat Griffin worked in his dark room, making reprints of certain well-known figureheads, we believe the faculty members enjoy gazing at their own photos. Self-satisfaction is a wonderful thing. - It was certainly a pleasant surprise to see Big Booie Hayne in the study hall the other day. Our former doughnut king dropped in from West Point to see the bunch again, and we will say Booie , looks fine in a uniform. The latest addition to minor athletics is the daily Hiking Squad. To partici- pate in this unique form of exercise, all that you have to do is get a penalty. Friend Kleutsch and his anti-bellum tank are back on the job, which may account for the epidemic of nervous breakdowns prevalent in school. A Anyone wishing to obtain a lot of oversize breeches in fair condition, apply to the Junior class. ' - First English tries everything from stump-speaking to book-agenting. The other day they took turns selling each other spark plugs, tooth paste, an' everything, ' Oh my, Yes!
