S bucks QM 'SAI Cutlass iaisturp On October 10, 1916, the railroad stations of Lincoln poured forth a body of pulchritudinous students, whose duty it is to make the class of 1920 larger and better than that of any preceding year. They are doing their utmost in every conceivable manner to accomplish the seemingly impossible expectations of their seniors. Their First class meeting was held on October 17, and was Hooded by interested and enthusiastic students. Our capable and very accommodating sponsor, Prof. C. W. Smith, was appointed by Prof. Bradford, thus saving the class much debating. There was then need of other oiiicers and at the next meeting the cream of the class was skimmed to furnish substance to fill the vacancy. The following students were elected: Edd Harris, president: Helena Nelson, vice-president: Her- mina Albers, secretary and treasurer, and Willard Dover, yell leader. 1 81 Owing to the death of a close relative Mr.'Harris was forced to leave us, the departure causing a gloom to fall upon his fellow students. At the next meeting, Harold Vincent was elected to the chair and has proven himself to be a most worthy successor. The next fork in the road was the contest for the bleachers for the football game. The class worked in cooperation, but owing to their unacquaintance and the sudden change from farm life, they were defeated by one of the upper classes. At the inter-class basketball games they won over the Juniors, which shows that they possess both skill and spirit. Recently our unlucky president was called away and once more the chair was left vacant. A meeting was called and the honor of being Freshman president was bestowed upon Arthur Pierce, whom the class looks upon as a most worthy leader.

A woman of our acquaint- ance who had a husband addicted to this habit laid for her liege lord with an axe helve as he tip-toed around the barn and before she said, thus endeth the reading of the first lesson, he looked as if he had been pawed over by a traction engine. The next morning he arose at four A. M., built the fire, chased the clothes thru the wringer so fast that he set fire to the tub, scrubbed the Hoor and got break- fast with the apologetic and conciliatory air of a man who had dropped his teeth in the consomme at a church supper. There are times when a well-planned swat across the bridge of the nose with the bed slat, as a gentle hint to take his feet off the center table, and get busy about the premises, is effort well spent. We do not advise violence except in cases of extreme provoca- tion and then only with consent of the county attorney. JIST AND JEST OF IT If she saw Ailes in trouble, would Josephine draw Nye? If we were bound to fail, what would be the use of Trine? If Nettie Pierced her foot, would Luther Carrie her or would Madge Wheeler? If the flagpole leans to the northeast, which way does Harold Moline? Florence Guthrie does not like algebra but is very fond of English. To friends and foes of fancy, We know a man whose name is Smith, His other name is Chauncey. One hour in which to study, One hour in which to eat, Two hours to think how tired I am, And twenty hours to sleep. A Senior. Here comes the Mayor of the town, His retinue does followg His feet are trimmed with feathers, But his head is surely hollow. A Junior.
