No letter, no card, no reply did I send. Yet I know that my clock is quite right: Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks cay. I open my Latin and algebra, too, I look at the pages and wince. Then shut them and say, Tomorrow will do But the clock still gives me some hints. Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. My lessons are done and my papers I scatter All over the living-room table. They should be picked up, but what does it matter? I ' ll attend to them when I ' m able. Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. One day not long since I did a rash deed, I chose a fine volume to borrow. And said, I must have a good story to read, But I ' ll surely return it to-morrow. Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. I know of a man, a patient old man, Who lies very sick in his bed. I ' ll go cheer him some day when I can. But I do other things in its stead. Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. O hark to the tock of the good oiu clock, As it hangs on the kitchen wall! Now list to its tock, its tick, tick, tock. This message it brings to us all — Go do it today and do not delay. That is the story that good clocks say. Ruth I. Carlson, ' 21. 24

tape. The birch is separated from the rest and taken to a spool mill to be made into spools. Norman W. Rickards IMPRESSIONS I was given an opportunity to take a trip to a prominent school near Boston where medicine and dentistry are taught. I went a few weeks ago and am now passing along my recollections of the trip. We reached school in time to hear a lec- ture. The lecture room was in the form of a Greek theatre, as all modern lecture rooms are. The seats were arranged in a semi-circle and the tiers of seats in the rear were higher than those in front. In front were colored charts, showing magnified dia- grams of various parts of the body. Before the lecture three assistants rolled the speci- mens in on trays. In the first tray were two human legs with the skin removed but the flesh still remaining. On another was a great number of knee bo .es; on the third, a heap of hip bones. At the side of the stage was a skeleton, hanging by a cord. The lecturer would occasionally take hold of the skeleton and point out the position of a certain part of the body. After he released his hold, the body began to swing, reminding me of a clothesline on a breezy day. The lecture itself was very interesting, I suppose. The professor might have known what he was talking about, but I didn ' t. He, however, wrote some of his terms on the blackboard and I noticed a few of them. They were gastronimius flexorlongusdigit- orum, tibialis anterior flexorlongushallu- cis. There were, besides, a host of other posterior and anterior muscles, joints, and articulations. The lecturer at one time wanted to get the leg into a certain posi- tion. He took it up, handled it exactly as a butcher slings a side of beef, and bounced it onto the table. After the lecture we went to the labora tory in which the students dissect their own subjects as they have already seen the in- structor do. This room was even more in- teresting than the lecture room. There were about a dozen stone tables in this one room and on every table was a dead body. The skin was taken off so that one could see the flesh and muscles, and arteries. It was interesting to watch the fellows cut up their stiffs. Part of the work was to cut open and separate the knee joint from the rest of the body. One fellow couldn ' t do this very well with his subject. He took the whole leg in his hands, just as he would take a stick of wood or a baseball bat, and broke it against the side of the wall. Another took a leg in his hands, one hand at e ach end. and put his foot on the knee joint and pushed against it. After the dissecting was finished, they cleaned up the blood with large sponges. After a while they began throwing these sponges at one another. The real treat of the day, however, was reserved for the last. One of the fellows wanted me to look at the head of his subject. The heads of all were bound up. He removed the covering and showed the head. The subject must have been killed in an accident, for the nose was flattened out and the eyes had been gouged out. The teeth were perfect. Because of the injecting fluid used in embalming, the flesh was as hard as wood. Needless to say, I was sorry that no one was allowed to take pictures. When, at last, we had to go home, I really found it hard to tear myself away from such enjoyable surroundi ngs. R. Drugan, ' 18 THE DEBATER KNOWS That the class of 1918 is the best class. That certain members of the senior class committee would like to choose another pic- ture for the school. That the picture which was given by the class is hanging in room 9. That everybody is looking forward to the reception. That the class is reducing expenses as much as possible for graduation and recep- tion. That the sophomores won the inter-class meet by one point. That Bill Burke is quite a fine little runner. THE DEBATER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW Where Red Wilkins bought the flowers for Miss Wilson. What Miss Andrews has against D , H , B . — By Count Meant 23
