Ambitious Freshman.
It was Saturday afternoon. A Fresh
man and a Sophomore were walking
to the depot, when they met the Col
onel. “Good evening, gentlemen,” said
he in a pleasant voice.
The Sophomore nodded a careless
greeting, but not so with the Fresh
man.
“Go-o-o-d afternoon,” he gurgled in
a perfect ecstacy of joy and over
wrought emotion. Then he stopped still,
and glued his eyes on the disappear
ing figure of his noble commander.
There was a deep quaver in his voice
when he turned:
“Say,” he whispered in awe, “did
you ever notice ’em?”
“What?”
“Those eagles . on his shoulders”
(and then with a magnificent sweep
of his arm) “with OUT-spread wings.”

“Sapolio” (at depot ollege Station)
—Where does this train go?

Twisted belts of leather,
Little songs of rhyme,
Make a “fish” at college
An old boy after time.
Just a strap persuader.
Just a day without your “cush,”
Just as a gentle reminder
Makes an obedient fish.
English history puzzles me,
I never can see why.
After so many “reigns”
It is still so awfully dry.
—(Ripsaw, 1910.
Young Lady (to one of our dear old
Bachelor Profs.)—Don’t mind what

in your dear old mahogany head.—
