THE QUILL THE SPY A LITERARY CORNER. DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE. We were nearing the field of the St. Louis baseball grounds when Fairfield, the big league hitter, was heard to say, Fm going to hit that ball to San Francisco today. Everyone stared at him as if he were out of his head, but he seemed sure that he would accomplish this feat. He was so sure of doing the imposs- ible that he bet with a num- ber of the players that he would fulfill his hasty prom- ise. The game began with a. de- cided air of stillness as the first ball was pitched and the fight was on. The out- come of the battle would de- cide for the year the cham- pionship team of our coun- try. The game progressed and promised tok be an exciting one for at the beginning of the ninth inning, the score stood 0 to 0. It was our turn at the bat and our last time to prove ourselves worthy of being the championship team. The heavy hitting batters were next in order to bat. But we were much troubled when two of the best hitters failed to hit the ball. The next bat- ter was Fairfleld and cheers arose when he went to the plate. We reminded him of his bet and told him it was time to prove it. The first two throws were strikes and after the last ball' had left the pitcher's hand we heard a resounding whack which mingled wonder and admira- tion in our hearts. The ball rose high in the air, sailed over the fence through the window of a passenger train, enroute tc San Francisco. The day was won and the impossible accomplished. HEART THROBS. My dear Editor: I am in trouble and come to you for advice. I have asked a Junior girl from our high school to go several places with me and she re- fuses me everytime. I have a nice car but still she re- fuses. What can I do in a case like this? I would like an answer immediately. Sincerely, Walter Elske. Dear Walter: It surely is a bad case'and I really do not know what I can do for you. I think this certian young lady friend of yours can not care very much for you. The Editor. My dear Editor: I am coming to you for ad- vice because my heart is al- most broken. One ofthe hand- somest young boys of the Ju- nior class Cat least I think he isj, took me to several so- cial gatherings and I had quite a liking for him. Now I found that my older sister has deliberately taken him away from me. How can I win him back? Sincerely, Ruth. Dear Ruth: I surely sympathize with you, but this certain young man must care more for your sister than he does for you. Forget him and look for an- other. The Editor. Dear Editors I cannot understand why I am failing in my studies. I do not study outside of school, but the work is so easy I do not think it necessary. What would you advise me to do? Sincerely, Joseph Rhodes. Dear Joseph: Since the work is so easy for you, why not take the grades the teachers give you and be satisfied? Possibly if you didn't study' at all you would be more successful. The Editor. POETS' CORNER.

He lives in constant fear of a dishonorable death. Yet a spy is not to be looked down upon because he uses his information for a noble purpose. The Spy in our school has ,for the past few weeks lived a life of torture and despair. Picture, if you can, this scraggy, gaunt figure, going in the face of death to discover and then to disclose all school secrets. If it were not for The Spy we would not know about the big social events of the year, the latest on How to Study , the weather and more important than all this, things of per- sonal interest to everyone of our friends. These facts are now all re- vealed through The Spy. You see, he has used his in- formation for a noble pur- pose. May he never come to an lnglorious end! WANTED T0 KNOW- Who Curly's girl is?

Prof. Letit Goh gives the Reeseville Pupils many points on How to Study. Reporter-Nip. A very interesting and in- structive address was deliv- ered by Prof. Letit Goh at the local high school audito- rium Sunday morning before church. The subject of the talk was How to Study. Prof. Letit Goh is instructor of Education at Bolt's Non- Business College of South Reeseville, a school much es- teemed tmostly steamedl in the community. Many useful pointers to aid the pupils in their work were given, some of which follow: 1. Always complete all other plans before attempt- i r I 3. Invite your friends over to work 1?J with you. They will give you much informa- tion. 4. Do not waste time by thinking of only one thing. Study your history and work a math problem at the same time. 5. Do not waste time by consulting Webster. It breaks your line of thought. 6. Never copy assign- mentsg if you do, forget about it. Any chapter you may chance to study will do. 7. Do not hurt your back by carrying too many books home. If you do, do not at- tempt to bring them back for a day or two-give yourself a rest. He closed his speech with the words: And now dear students of the Reeseville High School, if you will fol- low a few of the aforesaid suggestions I am sure that you will make this institution the world's champion of the Town of Lowell. After the meeting an elab- orate luncheon was served, the bill of fare including: Soup de Bullion. Beefsteak smothered with onion. Fried potatoes sauce. Limburger Eskimo Pie.
