48 LUPINE LEAFLET May 25-Exams! I am cramming as never before. May 29-Baccalaureate Sermon was preached last Sunday: the usual discourse on opportunity. June 2-At last--l am educated. The world is mine! c::n:o ' Our Pharoahs D D U Elizabeth Maxwell Like the Egyptians of old, we have our line of rulers or Pharaohs. Our Exalted Ruler is Felix of the House of Hill, High Commander of the College of Westmoorland. He has dominated over the Western Hemisphere of the world San Antonio for three years. He is deeply loved and respected by his many subjects and by his mate, Mistress- Exalted Edith Hill. Lady occupies the sofa of honor and is the least neglected of the royal court attendants. Next in turn for the ruler's position is Princess Berd R. Allen, renowned as being the greatest mathematician, having worked out to the finest degree the curves of a water sprinkling apparatus. Other ladies-in-waiting are honorable respresentatives of the House of Luker, Mid- dleton, McReynolds, Joiner, Runkle, and Mainard. Lady Luker has proven herself unusually attractive by trying to force upon her subjects the English language, which seems absolutely foreign to them. Latin, under the instruction of Lady Runkle, has magnetic powers and the throngs, eager to learn this every-day tongue, have passed beyond control. Since we have constructed three tombs for our kings, and Pahnolive Soap is re- ceiving a large sale, history ceases to be made at a fast rate. Historian Middleton, nev- ertheless, stresses the study of fan-making, in order that the coming generations will not suffer from intense heat. Lady Mainard, Scientist of the College of Westmoorland, is in deep study over the pleasant odor caused by the burning of sulphur in an open hall. Educator McReynolds has almost completed the perfect plans for the George Junior Republic, and will soon have the institution of learning controlled by unparalleled teaching and governing methods. Our own Lady Joiner, influenced by unknown spirits of the coming nations, Brazil, Spain, and France, is beyond question. What she doesn't know of these, her romantic languages, wouldn't fill Old King Tut's gold handled walk- ing-cane. A As you note, we pride ourselves on our Pharaohs and challenge any other Egyptian seat of learning to give out such a line as ours. 1 By Their Speeches We Shall Know Them Miss Luker-Young ladies, I must have your attention! Miss Mainard-1 don't know it, and nodobdy else don't know it. Miss Allen-l can't conceive of such a thing! Miss McReynolds-Everyone talk and then be quiet. Miss Middleton-Write for the first twenty minutes. Miss Joiner-Let's be a little more quiet. - Dr. Hill--That's one thing we cannot tolerate.. ln view of the fact. Miss Runkle-Translate the next sixty lines. Mrs. Henderson-You have two minutes in which to sharpen your pencils. Mrs. Hill-Will the following girls please see me immediately after chapel?
