She rails at all the Freshmen Down in the ,sembly hall And pesters all the Seniors, They dare not talk at alll She scampers up the stairways And through the corridors, l guess that she's not human, For she's seen on all the floors. She's here and there and all about And never seems to rest. So we give her to the uniors, May they cherish this bequest.

Zlliempurarilp Set Qsituz The students of Towner High School were bewildered, especially the boys, Jim Otell was not only bewildered, but very much grieved and hurt. ln vain he investigated and unmercifully criticized himself, yet he could not find a thing the matter with himself that had not been the matter a day or so before. Then why had Stella Barnes suddenly turned up her nose and refused to speak to him? Not only to him, but the haughty maid had not spoken to any of the fellows in school for dzlyf. To be sure the sun had multi- plied the freckles on his face a hundred times, but Stella hadnlt paid any atten- tion to those beauty spots last year. Again and again, Jim tried to find out in what way he had offended her, but it was useless, she would turn away without say- ing a word. The other fellows were rather uncomfortable, too, for to be on the 'outs' with Stella meant to be ex- cluded from most parties and hikes, Then Jimmy had a bright idea, he would give a tennis party. Stella was very fond of tennis, surely she would speak to him then. But the party passed without Stella. She had immediately sent her regrets through another girl friend, -limmy was desperate. The future st.retched out before him in a black dreary mist, the summer would have to be spent without any exciting tennis games, and he undoubtedly would have to play golf with Hulda, a neighbor girl, if he wanted to play at all. One whole miserable week went by, and each day Stella avoided him and never spoke a word. Wihat Could be the matter? Then one day, as Jim was pondering over his Latin, fl,atin seemed twice as hard when Stella would not help him in the translationsj he was aware of a very queer inward feeling that told him some- thing was happening. He looked up and stared, he blinked and stared again, and L. then he pinched himself to see if he were dreaming. No, he was wide awake and there was Stella Barnes coming down the aisle toward him with a smile on her face. ,lim's world brightened quickly when she actually spoke to him. Oh, Jim, llm so glad this week is over. lt's been the hardest thing not to speak to a single boy all week, but you see l'm a full-fledged member of the Girls, Club now. That was an awful thing to make me do for initiation, don't you think? Oh, I have so much to tell you-and Jim, l should love to play a game of tennis tonight. HILDA EILER, '20.

I am right? Nliltonr Yes, yes, go on. Chaucer: Aye, madame, proceed. Klary: As has been noticed, the absence of color in the abbey is appalling, and in the interest of society we have taken the burden upon our shoulders to do something drastic. Therefore, let us get to business immediately. CDOOV opfnf noifily. Emffr Mzzcbeth, Beowulf, and Quefvz Victoriaj. Victoria Cangrilyjz Wvhatls the mean- ing of this gathering? Is it Bolshevik or I.
