His duty is to enforce the laws. The judicial power lies in the hands of the municipal judge, lWiss Sadie Keatley. This city boasts that there is no need for a city prison. The chief buildings are the court house, located on Central Avenue, the library on Second Avenue, the auditorium on First Avenue, and last but not least, the lunchroom located on Everybody's Avenue.

E ff? dk UUQIEIUEVZAEIUULEI SLK! A GLIMPSIQ or flifk Coiiwi'-llorsi-2 THE CITY OF SOUTH HIGH UR fair city is one we can be justly proud of. Its mayor is Joseph Jorgens, who is chiefly responsible for the wonderful city, although its aldermen and commissioners also help. Its population is about two thousand, nearly all of whom are bright, law-abiding citizens who are willing to learn and rise in the world. There is hardly anything more to be done to make our city perfect. It boasts of the champion newspaper and skater of the world, and has cham- pionship banners in baseball, basketball, football, hockey, track, and gym- nasium. We have a theater where the Symphony Orchestra and the Municipal Band perform, and where movies, community singing, and con- certs of all kinds are given. The gymnasium and endless flights of stairs keep us in trim. The apartments are not supplied with kitchens, but this obstacle is more than overcome in the cafe. VVC have a complete library, and schools of English, history, languages, mathematics, and com- mercial studies. Scientific research is carried on in well-equipped labora- In our factories, furniture and iron articles are made, and gasoline tories. engines of all kinds are assembled and repaired. lWen are engaged in such trades as drafting, electrical engineering, radio, and business: the women spend their time in cooking, sewing, and housekeeping. Our thoroughfares are wide avenues where parking space is adequately supplied, and traffic cops demand pink passes. VVe put our money in the bank or buy food and sweets with it. The janitor does the housework, the cooks make the meals, and we enjoy ourselves. Except for a little work now and then, our city has the earmarks of heaven. -RALPH OS'l'!ERK3RI2N, June, 1929.

JOHNSON HUGHES JOHNSTON President Sergeant-atedrms Svrgeanl-at-Arms BERTRAND Nfzss Loi: GROTH EGGLESTON Secretary-Treasur1'r Adviser Tiger Rrpresenlalzfve Vzre-Presulent THE JUNIORS' NAUTILUS H UILD thee more stately mansions, O my soul! This may he con- sidered the prayer of every junior. Each one of us has now come to the place where he realizes that life is for some definite purpose, and he wants to prepare himself for his part of the great work. There is a striking analogy between the life of the chambered nautilus as pictured by Oliver VVendell Holmes, and our own lives. The Junior's freshman year was one chamber of his ship of pearl : his sophomore year another: and now his junior year, another cell more beautiful than either of the others. But he does not wish to stop here, he wants to build more beauteous palaces. HAS the swift seasons roll, leave thy low-vaulted past! As the time has been going by, his soul, his mind, his body have been growing. His old haunts are now too small, they are cramped-he needs more room, more work to make him grow. And all his life he has been growing. He says to his inner self, Leave thy low-vaulted past! He doesn't want to forget his old templesg he wants to let their experiences help him in his larger and better shrines, but he shuts them up as the chambered nautilus did so that he cannot go backwards. Let each new temple be nobler than the last. The Junior feels for something more beautiful, something more worth while. Till thou at length art free, leaving thine outgrown shell by life's un- resting sea. Soon the Junior will be through with four of his cells- which mean to him his four high school years. He will be ready to throw himself on life's unresting sea, and to do what he can to make the world a nobler and better place for him and his fellow men. -AMY GRo'rH, June, 1927.
