Mr. Reagan met a certain Senior and asked her a question. She was deeply interested in her answer when he quickly stepped to the window and gave it an upward shove, motioning her to step toward it. Thought she, What ' s the matter? I see nothing. She said, What do you want me to see? Prof : See if you can hit that approaching zephyr with your gum ! Tan. 7, Wed. — Every Senior carries a far-away look and blank expression, and chants, To be or not to be, That is the quesion. Yes, it ' s some more of Hamlet to be sure. What puzzles us is that a man has to shuffle off this mortal coil before he is celebrated for his work.
