Irons At a recent class meeting pins were ordered and the Juniors are now proudly displaying them. Last, hut not least, new officers for the Senior year have lieen elected as follows: President. Charles Hums, anil we know Chuck will he on the job every minute: vice-president, Rachel Perkins (nobody’s worrying but that Rachel will fill her office brilliantly as a vice who needs no advice); treasurer, Daniel Finklestein, who has made such a fine name as president of our Junior class, and who will, accordingly, prove a most popular custodian of our fortunes: secretary, Myrticc Matchitt. As this school year draws to a close, in thinking of our departing Seniors, we feel ourselves becoming poetic: Good-bye, Seniors, soon you’ll leave us; Your departing sure does grieve us. Next year we ll try to fill your shoes. We hope they’re good enough to use. ()n dignity we’re short, no doubt; Please drop us yours, as you slip out. From wisdom gained here, now you re through. May fortune smile on each of you. Ciood Senior friends, we wish you well. We’ll miss you more than we can tell. Here’s best of luck: let’s see you later In meetings at our Alma Mater!

Webster’s Dictionary says, “A Junior is one lower in station, or rank. The Juniors admit being lower in station, but wish it distinctly understood that they are not rank. How could it be possible, when every day their work has required each of them to turn over many a new leaf? Knowing that Shakespeare once remarked, All the world’s a stage, the Junior Class has tried to take its place l efore the school footlights by aiding the Seniors in the organization of a Dramatic C lub. Through the work of this club (in preparation for astronomy in the I’niversity course) there have been developed a number of stars. Though most of these stars have been Seniors, the Juniors are content to take some comfort in their reflected radiance. During the year, the Juniors have had Miss Smith as their class adviser. 1 ler patience has Wen limitless. I ler aid has l ccn inestimable. She has their love, their thanks, their sincere appreciation: and their only regret is that the work of advising them has been of such weight that she is now under necessity of spending a year across the Atlantic in recuperation. May the bonnie hills of Scotland protect her from wind and storm; may Merry England keep light her heart: may she come kick refreshed and restrengthened to the school which will miss her so much. The Juniors started the social activities of the year with a wiener-roast at Fort Snelling, one and all demonstrating a love for “hot-dogs. The next event was a sleigh ride, which ended with refreshment ami music at Miss Smith’s home. What is so rare as a day in June?” sang the poet, and tliose who were on this outing can truly answer. A night in January. The Junior-Senior banquet, popularly called the J. S., was just scrumptious, if one can believe the enthusiastic remarks of certain Seniors as well as Juniors who were there. It was held in the kallroom of the Men’s I’nion building. February 14. More recently came a Junior dance, which proved such a success that they decided to have just one more party, an outdoor affair, on the afternoon ami evening of May 28. This was the most exciting and exhilarating | arty the Juniors ever tried. I'anf Tu t nty-six

I don’t see why I ever chose W keeping a literary dogs' home as my vocation. The dogs do eat so much, especially that bull-dog, English Department. My Idea Cupboard is almost bare. History Department and Campus Breeze, my most valuable dogs, take more than any of them. and. of course. Mathematics Department can’t live on nothing. Now-Campus Breeze has a grown up puppy, Bisbila. lie howls every year for something to fill him up—and he’s so particular, too! Mother Hubbard walked slowly over to cupboard, and gazed despairingly at its empty shelves. Suddenly, way back in a corner, she spied an old tin can, covered with dust. Well, I never! exclaimed Mother Hubbard. When did that get in my cupboard? I wonder what it is. She held it up to the light and read. ‘Description of the Sophomore Class. Why, I didn’t know I had a can of that left. This can doesn't look very good, but 1 have had Descriptions that are fine. I’ll open it and see. The contents certainly looked far from promising. I’ve seen just as bad messes before, but I've never had one as puzzling as this one, Mother Hubbard mused. 1 wonder if it couldn't be cooked over, or something done to it—but I really don’t know how to go about it. 1 wonder if that famous scientist I read about in the newspaper couldn’t help me. What was his name? Mr. Powers—that’s it!” So Mother Hubbard put on her best shawl, and hurried over to the laboratory of the world-renowned chemist, Mr. Powers, the discoverer of salt and of the conij osition of water. She found the scientist deeply engrossed in a huge copy of his favorite hook, The Minneapolis Telephone Directory. Mr. Powers listened with interest to Mother Hubbard's story, and his reply was encouraging. You just wait. First well analyze it. and then we’ll synthesize it. Let us begin by filtering the contents of this first test tube, Very had ! Very bad, indeed. You see there is very little left to filter. This is the most volatile part of the whole concoction, and vaporizes very easily. There seems to be a little residue, but it’s mostly Foolishness and Powder Puffs.” Pagt Twenty-right
