A prim Harvard professor, while eat¬ ing at a southern hotel, was asked by three successive waiters if he w ould have soup. At last, a little annoyed, he said to the last waiter: ' • ' •Is it compulsory?” “No, sah,” replied the colored waiter, “no, sah, I think it am mock turtle.” —Ex.

FEBRUARY NUMBER TEN CENTS A COPY Eht pmwr 1912 Itaarti of lE Unrs Editor-in-Chief FLORENCE L. McKAY Business Managers HERBERT L. PATRICK ALBERT H. WALSH Sporting Editor ROMEO MICHELINI Alumni Editor ABBY A. FLINT Advisory Editors MISS E. MARJORIE SHAND MISS MYRTLE E. JENSEN EDITORIALS A few days after the last number of the Pioneer appeared, there was an article upon it in one of our lead¬ ing newspapers. It was headed, “Girls Outnumber Boys on Staff of the Pioneer.” The article’s chief criticism was that every story in the Pioneer was written by girls. Wake up, boys! Help to keep up your reputation! Don’t let the girls forge ahead of you. Start right in to remedy the matter by handing a story, a joke, or a piece of poetry to one of the editors. See the improve¬ ment which your effort will bring to the Pioneer. It’s worth it. Do it now! Class Editors Isabelle Villiers, ’12 August MacLeod, ’12 Florence Nichols, ’12 Grace Flint, ’13 Helen Kershaw, ’13 Ernest Leach, ’13 Madeline Wehrle, ’14 Gould Ruggles, ’14 Gordon Allen, ’15 The school year is now more than half gone. There are some pupils who have kept their mark up to about D so far, and feel thoroughly satisfied because they have passed. There are others whose names have been posted on the deficiency list week after week, and who have said, or thought, “There is time enough in the Spring to catch up.” But when Spring comes, remember that with it comes baseball; and in nine cases out of ten, the pupil who cares noth¬ ing for study, cares a great deal for sports and outdoor life. Begin work¬ ing now and don’t feel content un¬ less you get at least B in every study when the next report cards come out. And above all remember, “If at fir t you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
