The Sophomores’ Desire to Rise to Fame Gathered around their Round Table, the Sophomores, grave, jovial and serious are propounding the weighty question. “How to Become Famous.” President James Simes, in loud, clear accents, addresses his colleagues thus: “To become famous, one must aspire high; I shall climb to McGregor Heights next summer. What are the rest of you going to do to win fame for yourselves and for your school? Let us hear from each one of you upon this serious question. I shall call upon Zalus Copper, our Vice President.” Zalus Copper rising says, “I shall win fame by reading many books, but no boys’ books for me.” Secretary Beuthin then gives his idea. “1 expect to win fame by asking questions.” Here Clarence Kaiser addressing the President, says, I am satisfied to try to be funny; nevertheless I shall blow my way to fame on my cornet.” “Perseverance is my motto,” shouted Irvin La Bonne. Here Beulah Peacock interrupted. “How can I think of fame when 1 have the Movingus Picturitis?” “I’m really too taken up with basketball to think of fame, but I believe my position as ‘Forward,’ will furnish a motto which will help me in the climb,” interposed Hazel Finney. “I’ll travel my way on ‘Wireless,’” said Lewis Potratz. Then Milton Gremore, rising, quietly addressed his classmates thus: “Although you never find me making a racket, I’ll trust my tennis racquet to guide me along the golden path.” “If I can only get all the money I want,” broke in Jay D., “I’m sure I shall be famous. What do you think about it, Dan?” “If I could write just one satisfactory theme, I’m sure my fame wrould be already established,” Dan replies. Thelma now, in accents faint and low, murmurs, “I am just a modest, unassuming little girl, and I really don't care if I’m ever famous or not.” “My affinity for music will be the secret of my fame,” demurred Gladys Herold. President Sime now speaks: “Wallace, wrhy are you silent? Let us hear from you.” Wallace replies, “O, I’m famous already —move on.” As the time is passing so rapidly, and the meeting must close before dark, the other members are called on in turn and respond as follow's: Marie Ivers: “I don’t know, I haven’t thought enough about it yet.” Edna Dahmer: “If people understood me, I might achieve fame. My teachers tell me that Emerson said, ‘To be great is to be misunderstood.’ ” Cathryn Gillitzer: “My eloquent eyes. Nothing but fame for me.” Nettie Schoeffer: “I shall conquer the world by my stick-to- itiveness.” Florence Milheim: “All my injuries received in basketball wron’t impede my progress to fame at all.” Eleanore Ziel: “I believe Latin is the very door to fame.”

Ethel Swingle: “I just don’t care; if I get my lesson every day, isn’t that fame?” Susan Doner: “Suffragettes are all famous; therefore, a suffra- gette I’ll be.” Lucy Nickerson: “I shall stamp my foot and say, ‘Fame, you come right here.’ ” Ave Briley: “I’m sure after all my hard work, fame will be brought to my door.” Dorothy Borgerding: “I’m happy, consequently I’m not par- ticular about achieving fame.” Clara Boldt: “Basketball! All I think of now.” Florence Des Rocher: I’ll borrow fame.” Will Smith: “I’m striving for the Presidency, and if that isn’t fame, what is?” Raymond Slamer: “I would be famous in any country where there is freedom of speech, for I have first hand knowledge of history.” Elvira Campbell: “I don’t want to be famous, I just want to be left alone.” Lawrence Cherrier: “If there is any fame left after the rest of you have all you want, I’ll appropriate it.” Mr. President: I move we adjourn.
