Well! At last Issy M. has promised to learn to ' ' shake a leg. Somebody made the remark in Room 102 that snow grew and E. R. wanted to know if it really does. Why doesn ' t Frences P. join the Debating Society? She does argue so well. Why all the sudden sophistica- tion, Isabel W. ? Fire engine houses are useful in more than one way, eh, B. Kahn? Some bright chemist says that ivory soap is made from cream of tartar. Why does I. LaFonta always wear her Oberon pin? Will someone please tell us just who the locust-eaters are? Ruth M. has aroused our curiosity. The coat of arms of Spain has been recently changed, according to a chemistry student. It now has a bar of soap on it. M.

Who, we should like to know, is responsible for Shirley Mae W. ' s curly hair? Why do Lelia C. and Alma E. go together, eat alike, and even look alike ? What is the connection between J. R. and a Greek? This is a new one on us. China ' s backwardness is due to the fact that China had all the mountain pas- sages locked and refused to procure the keys to open them. Ask Eloise P. why she always sings Somebody loves me, I won- der who. li you want any information on gardening just ask M. Carey. She seems to know how to get every variety to bloom in spring. A recent Freshmen essay on Hawthorne says Hawthorne mar- ried a woman he did not know. (Is he any different from any other man, Freshie? Why was Charlotte B. so anxious to have her ishoe tried on her left foot? Won ' t someone be kind enough to tell Violet L. how far apart two milestones are? Ask Prop, why she got tired of her P.K.
