literary and poetry editors of the Year-Book, and the president, vice- president, and secretary-treasurer of the Athletic Association. fWe've quite the athletic corridor. Five of the original eight wild women-I mean A, A. members live here.j We also claim the tennis champion of the school, the manager of the Basketball Team, andthe best skater. About a week before each vacation, famous classes in reducing are held in a certain room, and -certain girls become professors of this subject, nobly leading a. desperate class on to victorious loss. Here, the night before vacation, these same professors give a feed, when nigh on to a million calories are devoured by each pupil. This insures the professors their job for the next time. We wonder if these same professors are in any way responsible for having a branch of the fam- ous Store located on the corridor. Something on Lower North holds a big attraction, for four girls have left their happy homes else- where to make new ones on this particular corridor. Perhaps they were deceived into believing they would get a chance to use Melio's famous balcony. How well she guards: it! Why not? It's the only one in the school, and helps to make North famous. We mustn't forget that North also claims the only real suite of rooms. An observatory and weather bureau is maintained on our corri- dor. It :is really the only reliable one at Putnam. 'Vxfeather news is given out every day. As a result,,one knows whether to say at break- fast in the morning, Isn't it cold this morning, Miss Evans? or whether to say, Isn't it fearfully hot this morning, Miss Evans? Some of the girls from other corridors have been known to make most horrible mistakes about these matters-just from lack of information. North also supports a human alarm clock. It goes off anywhere from 5:00 to 6:30 A. M. Never known to miss! If it did, it would be sure to say, Pardon me l We all believe in politeness on North, - especially in the breezy, Pacific Coast brand. And speaking of wonders, how ,about the non-detachable military belt? Was it ever known to come off? But this is not all. We have famous instructors in all languages, Latin, Spanish, and Baby Talk. Come down to North,' In visiting time, in visiting time,-- It isn't far from' South ! L. M., '25, LOWER SOUTH Any words you want misspelled? Come to Caroline. Run along with Hazel If you want to be on time. If you're ever hungry, Visit Peanuts right away. Go to Mary Byxbee To while' the time away. janet's quite an expert When it comes to catching mice. Miss Whitcome's dreaded medicine Really tastes quite nice. Florence went away one day, We have an empty room, She's in sunny Florida, But we know she'll be back soon. Charlotte is a bridge fiend, She holds the winning score. Mary gets ten letters And then she howls for more. Beth is very quiet, But there's mischief in her smile. And Lower South has surely Got the others beat a mile. Every night we trot our little flowers-to-be down to keep the teacher on duty company. Don't tell anyone, but on the way back we VISIT. Sh! It's a secret. We sincerely recommend Peanuts' little stunt as a sure cure for even a chronic case of melancholia. Miss Whitcome has a very bad influence over us. The day she chose to stay in bed, was chosen by four other little Lower Southites as the proper time to miss classes. Although our corridor has many advantages, it also has the dis- advantage of being too near the teacher on duty. It may be said, how- ever, that usually she is so busy attending to Upper North that we are
