Nell Yates No one will ever know the sufferings I endured before taking music in the Training School, which revivedmy spirits and brought joy into my life. With the course comes the enjoyment of entertaining one,s friends with the two hours practice each night, the taking of Theory Pills: in large closes any time of the day, and the great benefit to be derived from warbling. Try it and see. Alice Ball I want my fellow sufferers to know of my miraculous cure. No amount of money could make me suffer again as I did from incoherent reci- tations. Let me implore any one so troubled, to take at least ten weeks' course in the Training School Grammar department. Teaching grammar is a remedy for all unconventionality and absorbs the attention of the teacher from morn till night. It sweetens the temper, clears the complex- ion, whitens the teeth, curls the hair, and is an all around remedy for all ills. I advise the teaching of grammar to all who are addicted to frequent out- bursts of feeling. After fifteen weeks' trial the worst case of disinterested- ness; guaranteed to be cured. Mattie Hall I was for forty years afflicted with a love of Nature and my fellow- man. I was in danger of apprecxating symphonies; of attaining human wealth, of reaching the consummation of the philosophic ideaa-indeed. a host of evils assailed me. I found that such conceptions were all IITommy Rot? Get wise and take Education VIII. Sadie Overz'ng Before taking the course in geography and nature study in the Train- ing School, I was a giddy young thing having never a care on earth. My friends noticed my condition and advised me to try Geography and Nature Study treatments. I took one every fifth period for ten weeks, and now find myself able to think of the antipodes of San Diego. Podunk or any other point while boarding a car or in the middle of a football game. I can picture man making a living in any part of the globe or give information as to the best care of cows, the propagation of cactacae in Southern Cali- fornia, or hold children spell-bound by reciting: the names of all the capes, bays and islands of the world. I can recommend this treatment as a sure cure for any person troubled with excess of spirits. Emma Spears Senior Will We, the illustrious Senior class of December, 1905, of sound mind and body, do solemnly swear that the following is our last will and testament: In it we bequeath our grade, plus one, in teaching, to the Juniors, who are in need of all they can get. I To the Supervisors in the Training School we bequeath a iispecial methodil series for all departments.

WHITEANDGOLD 2t citement among the students Now that the strenuous football season is over, we will be content to arm ourselves with tennis rackets and balls and will have to count our lllovesl, instead of our lttouchdownsf, Didnlt it look like a genuine election to see everybody wearing cards: llVote for Smith for Business Managerh? The Pristis girls and friends had a delightful barge party December 9. The party was chaperoned by Miss Tanner and Mr. Crandall. The basket ball grounds are now in shape. The girls are working hard and have succeeded in raising the. standard of the game. And if in the fu- ture Our Teamli should have the chance to play an outside team, we feel sure our opponents will Hcome up against it? On Thursday morning, November 23, the students and faculty were entertained by Mr. Franks orchestra of the Isis theatre. The music was excellent and the students showed their appreciation by the hearty applause which they gave the llband men. 'When the orchestra started up liThe Son of a Gambolierf, one might judge from tlie sly winks that went around the profs it brought back reminiscences of their college days. The Dog Watch crew enjoyed a merry breakfast on North Island, De- cember Ist. The party left the boat house about half past six and by the time they reached their destination every one was ready for breakfast. The crew report that they had a Tlswell time? , Why not come to the student Body meetings? They are really quite homey affairs. But once you get there donlt be afraid to get up and make :1 motion. If somebody makes a motion that doesnlt please you, get up and express your own Views. If you want your man to be elected donlt sit dig- ging at some lesson, come and put him through or else hold your peace after the election. The last Thursday in every month the students and faculty have the pleasure of listening to Rev. Hinsonls lectures. They are looked forward to with more interest by the students than any other event of the week. Every one has enioyed to the utmost his recent talks on Tennyson. It is hoped by every student that Mr. Hinson will be able to continue his lectures the coming semester. Our football rallies this term were of the most inspiring kind. llThe Jolly Studentll stimulated the boys to do their very best. School spirit is at its height. There is no reason why it should die just because the foot- ball season is over. The coming basket ball games and tennis tournaments will need just as much school spirit to back them as did the football. The Geography Class, under the direction of Mr. Skilling, spent Sat- urday, Nov. 25th, at La Jolla. The forenoon was passed in exploring the old sea beaches. Lunch was served on the rocks. The afternoon was de- voted to examining the new sea beaches and studying specimens, geologi- cal and human. Interest was added to the work by a kodak. Some snap-
