---THE SENTINEL-li- Prom It was the first of May-something was astirg a general air of suspension prevailed: the Jun- iors, in feverish haste, were preparing to do honor to that haughty austere body, the Seniors. Came the night--and the revelers: knots of gay maidens in curls, ruffles, and frills, youths in dark correct attire. After what seemed to us to be an interminable delay, the signal was given and we all down to the gym-and there we were in the dining saloon of an ocean liner. nervous trooped The Captain, who introduced himself as Jim Wade, gave us a hand, and we were heartily wel- comed by the mate, whom we recognized as Carl Huber. Edna Puffer graciously responded- and the title of honorary mate was bestowed upon her. At the helm to guide our course was Mr. Sorensen, pilot. He gave us some very excellent ad- vice on how to avoid the shoals and rocks. Please do not surmise that in the meantime, our culinary interests had been neglected. no! With pardonable avidity we had partaken of a delicious banquet placed before us by less crew. They were now called to our attention. Indeed, the tire- Hugh Thompson, the shipwrecked sailor, had successfully resisted the wiles and charms of a native lass, who was portrayed by John Fast in a very realistic manner. After the sailor's rescue, however, he found he was unable to forget his love and so in true manful fashion, returned and car- ried her off. During the general hysteria, two stowaways were discovered. There was a strong sentiment to throw him overboard until we found out that they were none other than lone Twiet and Buss. After their recitations and Hawaiian guitar selections, we gave fervent thanks that had the foresight to let them live. Our reverie was interrupted by Vida Whitaker, the lookout, who saw good sailing ahead and predicted good fortunes for us. With such bright hopes for the future, we gave tribute to the past: in one body we arose and sang HlVlemories.', Thus ended Prom. Marion we had weather one last -ARIEI. LEPAGE.

---THE SENTINEL---1 Supposing If souls to things could transmigrate l'd like to be a street car gate And every time a speeding fool Went tearing past against the rule lid tear away a light or door And teach him what the law is for. -VIDA WHITAKER. Round One Naught was there to proclaim that day Would be of great renowng The wind was soft, the sun aloft, And peace reigned all around. Then stole a shadow oier the earthg Came murmurs from afar, And louder grew the din of war The perfect day to mar. For war it was in earnest truth-- lt lasted all that day Both offense and defense well-planned, Oli, it was quite a fray. At length, their strength exhausted, they Decided on a truce, And to their camps withdrew at night, Lady Draxten and Sir Bruce. -Ariel LePage. On Combination Locks Among the things a student must endure The combination lock stands in the fore. A clever instrument devised, in truth, Expressedly to harry time-pressed youth. A feller just has time to beat the bell- He twirls the lock-it doesn't work. Oh well In frenzied haste he tries again. Aw, heck! Itis things like this that make a guy a wreck. Again he spins the cursed thing. Alas! There goes the bell! Again he's late for class. Small wonder then that few can stand the shock Of tussling with a combination lock. -Ariel LePage.
