24 VOX COLLEGJl had many pleasant times together, and we are all sorry to think that our work at O.L.C. is over. To Miss Tait, Miss Rowland and Miss MacFarlane, we express our thanks and appreciation for the many kind attentions and help they have given us. What we have gaiiied has more than repaid us for our work and study. We also extend our best wishes to the Seniors of next year, and for every success in their work. TESTS FOR GOOD COFFEE. Pour cold water over coffee, and if chicory is present, it will sink to the bottom. A good chicken should have yellowish colored skin, not blue or broken. If head is on, comb should be red. T ip lower end of the breast bone springy. A young chicken has pin feathers. A good duck or goose should have yel- lowish skin, and covered with soft down. The under bill should turn back readily. The feet of fowl should neyer be scaly nor the skin broken or bruised. A SCIENCE TOAST. A health to a girl that can dance like a dream, And a girl that can pound the piano. A health to the girl that writes verse by the ream, Or toys with C in soprano. To the girl that can talk, and the girl that does not. To the saint and the sweet little sinner. But here ' s to the cleverest girl of the lot. The girl that can cook a good dinner. —Exchange. Fireside Notes Georgia Langmaid, a former O.L.C. student, and graduate of the Elocution Department, came down to see Ham- let given by the present students in that department.

vox COLLEGII 23 There are scores as round as stovepipes, and there are lots so big and wide, That many little choir boys could play around inside. From little bits of piccolos that hardly makes a toot , There ' s every size up to the great elevator chute. The organist knows every one, and how they ought to go. He makes them rumble like a storm, or plays them sweet and low. At times vou think they ' re very near, at times they ' re soaring high ; Like angel voices singing far off somewhere in the sky. For he can take this structure that ' s as big as any house. And make it squeak as softly as a tiny little mouse ; And then he ' ll jerk out something with a movement of the hand, And make you think you ' re listening to a military band. He plays it with bis fingers, and he plays it with his toes, And if he really wanted to, he ' d play it with his nose. He ' s sliding up and down the bench, he ' s working with his knees ; He ' s dancing round with both his feet as lively as you please. I always like to take a seat where I can see him go. He ' s better than a sermon, and he does me good, I know. I like the life and movement, and I like to hear him play, He is the most exciting thing in town on any day. Household Science PREPARATION OF LUNCH BASKET HOW TO SELECT FRESH FRUITS. The lunch basket should not be too heavy, and should be lined with oiled paper. The contents should be wrap- ped up and packed neatly. Meat, pick- les and hard-boiled eggs should be wrapped separately. Arrange lunch basket if possible so that no cuttlery will need to be taken. Picnic List — Wooden plates, glasses, cups, paper napkins, can opener, cork screw, water pail, coffee or tea pot, hatchet. ;ndividual recipes for sand- wiches.
