-iwifivllfi gi3CI!1'lVOCiil3 -- ---2' ' .6- 1 A 7 1 7 LJ, k EACAM It has long been known that some of our collegiate engineers attend the Social I-Iali'-Hour at the Baptist Church every Sunday evening to watch the Stephens girls do their wiles, but it is equally well known that they do not have fortitude enough to go to church beforehand. They manage to sneak in the door just after the services, and just before the main act. The perils of such a. practice are well illustrated in the following story. CThis story can be veriiied by the pastonj One night last spring, when the usual spring thoughts were coursing hot through his brain, little John Nebel decided to go to the Half-Hour. Since he had never been to the church in question before, he did as the rest of the boys were doingg he stood outside the door until the minister got through, and never even got a glimpse of him. Later, during the eating, the minister walked through the assemblage shaking hands and greeting friends. He walked up to Nebel and, never having seen him before, inquired in a kindly voice, And who are you? . In the same kind tone Nebel responded, I'm John Nebel, who are you?

so-Bea,---Q--466:34 g5amr0i:Rlr-+--+- Fire: W .gk Q ll W 1 'l DISCUSS FULLY AND GIVE TVVO OTHER EXPLANATIONS OF HOT- M VVAD'S SYSTEM OI GRADING. X ll The grades in 'heat machinery 'A' are based on class work, laboratory work, final examination, and two other reasons. The class work counts five per cent., ul , the laboratory work ten per cent, final quiz ten per cent, and the two other rea- sons sevcnty-fivc per cent. To attain the maximum of five per cent in class work the student must have a large notch cut in his Hirshfeldg the larger the notch the ' better. The student must be able to open his text book to the steam tables, using T this notch, in less than no time. It is well to be able to use either tl1c right or the left hand with equal speed. In the class work one must have a slide rule prop- l erly engraved and know how to use it in plain and fancy calculations, and how to use it with variations. The final test i11 this matter is to multiply five times i fifteen and get seventeen and one-half. To make the maximum of ten per cent in laboratory work the student must move about quickly. VVhen the teacher is looking one must move with the speed of light. lVhen the teacher is in the laboratory but not looking it is considered safe to I move with the velocity of sound. While wo1'king in the laboratory the student 1 must be able to hurdle any of the engines that might be in his way without any l i appreciable decrease in velocity. The student must talk in a loud voice, the fullness of WVl1iCl1 must equal the volume of a forty piece Hindu jazz band. The student must set the D-slide valve on the vertical engine in less than seven weeks. and it must be set so that the former engineer of an eastern railroad cannot tell which direction the engine will run until the steam is turned on. If the engine fails to yy ru11 the student may try again the next semester. To make the maxinium of ten per cent on the final quiz one must be able to answer these questions: VVhat is the heat of superheat and why? VV'ho was Bilgrarn Diagram ,and how? Is the fourth dimension entropy? How bad was your foot M hurt when you did the Btu experiment. The student's general ability is counted in , with the final quiz. If he succeeds in getting a job on the-L. V. CI,ehigh Valleyj , u RTR., or on the H. D, it XV. CI-Iigh Dry and Ylfindyj R. R. the final quiz grade will , ll! be slightly raised. A 5, l if ,ly The remaining seventy-five per cent of the grade is based on these two other reasons mentioned before. YVe feel that more evidence should be uncovered before l' a final opinion on them is reached. 'T The question of the hour, what is it?
