Flhv Shutter when the mercury registers only thirty below. To them goes the torture in the sanctuary of Isis when the call of the bed clothes is too great and they arrive at the gates of learning at 8:20. They also must keep away from the lunch room at eleven, when savory smells are driven up by the hot air. Ah! my sons and daughters, you have lots to bear, but go forth with a cheerful heart and you'll get away from everyth'ng in seven or eight years. Now comes the serious job, for among our company are those who are ignorant, green, unsophisticated, numbskullish, dL11UlblJE3lllSl1,A-lI'l other words, they are the Frosh. Take care of these innocent darlings, my elder sons, and see that they get not into any s-craps. If, however, they wanzler from the flowery path of learning, they must suffer for their sins in two rooms, nam ely, 109 and 209. Along with these two rooms also go numerous blue slips. Down below our temples lie two dungeons wherein are contained numer ous devices of torture. I decree that these Frosh pass one hour every week to befit themselves for greater deeds to come. To a few who are chosen from this herd goes the job of resisting the vampish looks of those who would beguile them. Take this advice, my sons- make them go thru the study hall. Once a week also must the Frosh gather in the arena and warble their gentle lays to the noise of the tom tom and the wail of the saxaphone. This is the will of Tutankhamen whose body lies in the Valley of the Kings, but whose Ka is always with the gods. -Charles Vlfilde, -Anna Buonfiglio. Ellie Svrniurki illarwnell Sweet and subtle was the hour when we came, Coyly wand'ring into yon hall of fameg How ruggedly we trudged thru light and dark, Ever seeking some potent, perennial mark. Now have we come to the end of our days, Eluding all havoc, shunning dull frays, Creating new hopes, and voicing true praise To a noble, bright object, to a dear Alma Mater who destines each career. V Down thru the years we struggled, perhaps pained, Yet, we are loath to part, tho we have gained. However relieved may be the sore mind, It cannot but admire each trying grind. Granted all knowledge, it surely must think Highly of the fount where new thoughts we drink. Spring now comes with its gaiety and joy, Creating fond pleasures hard to destroy, Hurrying with it the last of our work, Onward rushing the sad parting we shiik. Oh, dear friends, farewell !-and heed you this rule: Love, honor, and sustain-ever-our School! -By R. T. Zeglan, june, '25. 21

R., '23, Uhr miahnm nf 'King Uutankhamrn List to the words of Tutankhamen, Ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt, King of Kings, Mightiest of the Mighty, chosen son of Isis, the Eternal Mother, who watches over all set down by Khaemuas, scribe of His Majesty, this day, the seventh after the celebration of the Feast of the Dead. Hearken, O sons and daughters of Tutankhamen, and heed the words of wisdom ere the curses of Amen and the King fall upon you! None shall escape, for his Ka watches ever. But many blessings shall fall upon those who heed them. List, then, O sons and daughters, for vast treasures fall among you, O Chosen Ones! To those who have failed to pass on with me when their time came, I decree nineteen more weeks of joyous labor in the twin temples. But there are some who have not reached that happy place of educated onesf?j Ah! Blessed of Re! To you go the papyrus and pen, for ere you pass on, mighty words will come forth from your worthy domes. But greater than this comes a gift worthy of Isis herself,--the place where your prede- cessors struggled and wished that they might have died, the place where poor humans suffered in torment, while around them laughed the merciless ones whose time had not yet come. This can be only one place-the bull- throwing arena in the North Building of the Twin Temples. But now a word to those who are only ,beginning to have a mind for higher things Q??j. It is their duty that they appear for the first time at a public shindig. My advice to them is-clonlt step on your partnerls feet and keep away from the punch bowl. CIt's an awful temptationj They also must sweat in the bull-throwing arena in order to prepare themselves for the Great Terror which is to come. One final word: Follow the straight and narrow, my sons and daughters, and don't try to get an early lunch on a library slip. It's old stuffy the faculty are on to it. But as I go on, more advice is necessary, for I come to those who think they are IT. They are like the old scholastics and think they know why a blackberry is red when it's green. In other words, they think they are the whole cheese. To them goes the agony of getting up at 7 A. M. on a Winter'S morning 20
