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?

Since the mem- bership roll is not open to the public we have had to obtain these names from vari- ous sources and we have no way of knowing if the list is complete. However, we are presenting to you the more conspicuous members with their qualifications for Secret Onery Fraternity. membership. Founded at the University of Missouri, September 13, 1927.

Scary-Trcas. GEOIILQE SCHMICKibCCZ1l1SC he's a power in the engine school-because he's listed as a senior when he has failed in each one of several attempts to get through math-because, by some unknown means, he finally got to be vice-president of the student body. Roman BIILLERTbCC11llSC he's a little bit better than the common herd-because of his success in politics-because he's president of an organization that hasn't even a roll. ' JOE XIARNUIVI'-lJCCZl11SC he's the Club treasurer and never gives us a rest from his eternal gripes about money-because he has ambitions for the Club presi- dency in the next election. A JERRY Enwixnos-because l1e's been here long enough to have graduated twiee-be- cause he is self-appointed critic of the faculty-because he got VVeinie told in Electrical Machinery last semester at his own expense-because he is a dancing instructor at the Jameson Academy. . MYRON STALKER1llCC3llSC he's an accomplice of Schmick's-because after he was defeated 160 to 80 in the spring election of councilman he got the job by appointment later-because he has managed to keep that job even this long. OTTO lbIEYER1bCC2ll1SC of his military bearing-because he is the best-dressed man in school-because he is always willing to help out a classmate in distress. JIIVIMIE HAMILV1'ON1bCCdLlSC heis getting through school this semester without studying-because his dad is VVeinie's friend and a power among the alumni -because he's in charge of the tea-because of his dates.
