A SUPER STATESMAN He raised the dust in industry, Where ever he happened in, He laid the floor in Florida, And drank Virginia's gin. The line in Carolina? Why he wrote it with the pen That he took from Pennsylvania But I don't remember when. The road in old Rhode Island, He once made poor Ida hoe, And the ham in old New Hampshire Why he cured it long ago! The coat in North Dakota, He once let poor Della Wear, And he bought a brand New Jersey, To match Miss Issippi's hair! He made love to Minnie Sota, And an eye at Iowa, Took my Mary Land aboating In the Ark of Arkansas, Put the tuck in old Kentucky, Swam the sea in Tennesseeg With the oak in Oklahoma Built a home for Miss Ouri! Held a mass in Massachusetts, Like a conscientious boy, For the sin in old Wisconsin, And the ill in Illinois, Did his washing up in Washington Beside the salty brine, Put the if in California In the days of forty-nine! Made the brass in old Nebraska, From the ore in Oregon, Made mining Colorado Put a whiter Collar on! He rushed the can in Kansas, And he's like wise very prone, To lay claim to Arizona And proclaim its air his own! Bleached the tan from brown Montana Courted may in snowy Maine, Put the rage in woman suffrage, And the pain in each campaign.

TUTANKHAM'EN'S GRAVE fFrom which the joke editors obtained most of their jokesl Apology by Joke Editors Dear Everyone: This is a splendid opportunity to plead our cause, or ask forgiveness beforehand if we have offended any. But please remember that we should not get full credit or blame for writing everything in this department. We want to thank all who have co-operated with the joke department, either by handing in jokes or, better still, by making or being the jokes. We hope that next year, our successors will receive the same or more co-operation and support in making the Joke Department bigger and funnier than ever. DE-MENTAL TEST All who would peruse this humor section should first take this test to determine the extent of their dementality. If you can pass the first part your grade is A. The passing of the second part entitles you to an A squared and cubed, and if you succeed in passing the third part you shall receive one highly polished nickel-plated miniature dumb-bell to be used as a watch charm. If you pass the test in five minutes you will be doing it twice as fast as someone who does it in ten. PART I--OBSERVATION TEST The following questions will indicate how much you notice the little things in lifeg this is important as you must get accustomed to see and get hold of small change. Answer yes or no. 1. In the main corridor is the statue of the Winged Victory of Samo- thrace. Is she standing or flying? 2. How many inches are there in one hour? 3. Are the floors varnished or hardwood? 4. Does Miss Colvin part her hair or wear it pompadour?
