THE MAROON AND GRAY The Revival of Education Oh! XYhat were my feelings predicting? Something queer, for I never felt so close to having something unusual happen as I did now :Qs I completed instructing the in- itiates of the state hospital about the problem of VVheeling VVest Virginia around on her daify morning ride. You see through my ability in making the inmates more de- pressed in their moral ideas merely by following the wonderful example set forth by myself, I had earned a well-deserved vacation. l made up my mind to hunt up my classmates during that time. Hardly had I emerged from my premises when I saw a familiar figure enter the street from a neighboring building. It was none other than Viola Schings. She proudly displayed a medal pinned to her dress. VVhat an honor indeed! She had been given this for being the oldest member of the Old Maids In- stitute and had recently been crowned queen of the club known as One Look and Die organized for men too tender to shoot themselves. As we passed gracefully along, stopping now and then to straighten out our parentheses to exclamation points fthis is Shakespearean language for bow-legsl, we came to the public Auditorium. Behold! What was that black and blue object approaching us as irregular as the coast of Southwestern Europe? Upon close observation it turned ott to be Vivian Fitzgerald, the world's famous blue singer? Blue? Yes! Black and blue! The coma bination of color and irregularities were the result of grapefruit, tomatoes and thc like thrown at her as applause Cnot applesaucel for her wonderful vibration. VVC stopped to chat a moment. VVhat was that Vivian was saying? Anna jasinski? President of the Stamp Licking Company? No! Yes, I understand it did away with all meals. Hut Anna always was economical. ll-inm-min--a-m! That accounted for an- other human derelict. Our next victims were Rossford's own Lincoln-llouglas debaters. Bob Thornton CHIUC to us adjusting his monocle and swinging his gold top walking cane. Flreida, solemnly surveying us, emitted a most cordial greeting, her demure, graceful figure swaying in the breeze. I hope I am not too inquisitive, but what is the question? were my first words. Hob replied. That big men were born i11 Rossfordf' which was the affirmative. Freida on the other hand, upheld the negative by contending that only small babies were born as in any other town. XYQ then made up the day's plan. It was to consist of a country ride, dinner. movie and opera and then to the park. As we were riding along in the city's ash can. we came to Lime City. There we were welcomed by the mayor, who was none other than the mi'lionaire. joe jarosi. He presented up with the golden key to the city, which was a can opener, for his millions were the foundation of his mansion, The City Dump Yard. After having eaten a dinner fit to kill prepared by the minister's wife, Odessa Stallings, we de- cided to take in a movie and opera. just as we entered the lobby whom should we meet but Anthony Vavrik with his better half. Had he any children? Yes, six. Uh! VVell, he said, we had three last night but when I left for the office this morn- ing there were six! fourteen
