Pollock has finished his Latin and Greek, and Lilian Newbranch has too many wheels. Barr innocently answers, I don't know what you mean, perhaps Miss Vancil doesn't either, for she claims she never had one. We did intend to keep it dark, but at the last moment our conscience has become too much for us, and love of truth compels us to confess that some of our classmates are old-fashioned enough to choose this means of locomotion, even in this advanced day and age. Britton pleads as his excuse that he got in the habit when on the ranch, and habit, we know, is strong. Sawyer says his father thought he was too fat to walk, Landis got tired of a bicycle, and Kring l'can't ride a full-grown horse. Miss Millar uses one so that she will have time to talk to the boys, Bollenback to get ahead of the Profs, and Cramb because the modern school system demands it. Clark is too tired to walk,', and Smoyer selects a pony because long-eared animals are so common fany insinuation?j. Lyon says promptly, Always, and adds, was a cavalry prize winner.

But when the fiddle and the bow Were laid away, the lad Began to look his program o'er, And found that, with this one, Nine times he'd been upon the Hoor- Nine rounds of bliss had won. But she'd been looking on the while, Oh, heavens on earth! she cried. And on his face there dawned a smile, For he knew she hadn't lied. ii' F? . Che 99th Ctavalrp. il We have been led to believe that the pony constituted an essential feature of college life, but times have changed and we are outgrowing such things, just as our ancestors outgrew ghosts and other seemingly indispensable accessories. Some have cast off the pony for ethical reasons, for instance, Mumau, who claims that he is too religious, but We must confess that influences of a far more material nature have been at work upon some of our classmates.
