Man XX'hat is man? A real honest to goodness man? Is he a handsome, liroad-shouldered, six foot, strong and muscular per- son? ls he the fellow who carries off the honors of his college class, or the honors of their sports? Is he the person who ac- quires his money by unscrupulous means and makes a man of himself? The fellow whom every one pretends to like and yet are jealous of his success? l rather think not. A man is not a person with a splendid physique, a handsome face and genius. Haven't you met such persons and would you call them men? Of a certainty all of these qualities in a man are pleasing, but it is character that makes a man. A man is one with a character so broad, line and pure that all who come in contact with him will say, Ah, there is a man. I wish there were more of his kind. A man is one who is broad minded enough to understand everyone, broad enough to make allowances for the weakness in other people. One who will be a help and staff for those who are weaker. One who will go about quietly doing his work and helping poor humanity-giving his good advice and sound reasoning, and love to those who most need it. His name need not be in large electric letters before the world. A true man will be satisfied if he has helped a fellow man to better himself. The love of the people for whom he works will be all the reward he asks. There are many persons who are supposed to be men that are just bundles of selfishness. Persons who Want everything coming their way. As long as things are going to suit them they can afford to be magnanimous. However, their idea of magnanimity would differ greatly from other people's idea of the word. A man is one who can receive his portion of trouble, or even more than his share, without a whine. Une that can go thru the tire and come out whole, determined, and with his faith in the world unshaken. That is what I would call a man! -ANNA PARSON

Poets' Corner TO MISS PRALL Miss Prall from Columbus came, NVith great Domestic Science fame, To teach the girls of Swayzee town Ne'r about cooking to fuss and frown. She taught us how to wash and rub, The kitchen floor we sure did scrub, She taught us how to build a fire, So we might suit a country squire. Canning came along with the season, VVe were working for a definite reason, The cafeteria started off so fine, But didn't compel us all to dine. The menus stated day by day, Xlihat we could serve the very best way, NYe hustled and bustled, hurried and scurried, And when noon came, werelnt a bit worried. XVe'll surely thank dear little Miss Prall For the useful advice given to all, And may her fame continually spread, So she will always have butter and bread. -Locm JEsTER TRIBUTE TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT Of Theodore Roosevelt, that man of fame, 'XX'ho in our history has written his name, l have little to say My inability to write of him, To tell of his heroism, pep and vim, ls most deplorable. 'lfeddy the Great! The warrior bold! XX'ho fought in the heat or in the cold! And he always won! He went to the jungles for research work, XYhere savages live andxfevers lurk! But-he conquered! Over all obstacles he wendefl his way, And his name shall live for many a day! Until the end. -ANNA P ARSON
