MIDNIGHT MUSINGS
It’s a queer thing how a man with
an hour to spare will try to spend
it with the man who hasn’t.
* ❖ ❖
I wonder if the band concerts are
influencing spring weather—they are
doing pretty well so far.
* * *
If moustaches were money we
know some seniors who couldn’t pay
the -stFFHg-~t© tie up a ten-eent
purchase.
* ❖ *
Everybody knows the mule is a
good kicker yet look at the mobs who
just insist on being jackasses.
# * #
C.I.A. is taking lots of interest in
the R. V. Hop—be patient girls, we
sure won’t let you suffer. (Besides,
the uniforms are not here yet—
there’s lots of time).
* * *
At this season two Juniors can
hardly say good morning without
fear of a dictograph listening in with
with a couple of sophs listening on.
❖ * *
And another thing about Mr.
Price’s speech—w e lost a perfectly
good, long hour in a laboratory that
can only be likened to a tomb.
* * ifc
Have you ever noticed that most
obtrusive folks in the world usually
get finally located in a most secluded
portion of the church-yard?
* * *
And we wouldn’t mind going to
"church a bit if we heard more of
what we didn’t know and less of what
we do know and it didn’t take so long
to hear it.
* * *
After four years the smartaleckist
Fish in the world always thinks
about one-tenth as much of them
selves and folks in general think
about ten times as much of them.
* * *
But when it’s all over nicknames
last much longer than “Misters” and
“Professors.” Whadyesay?
* * *
Merlin A. Miller (announcing the
Lyceum number,: “And the lady
wishes me to state further that all
her evening clothes were destroyed
in the fire.” And just when we
were going to offer our long coat to
the occasion she appeared!——Evi-
dentally she had saved a few old
rags.
RABBI’S RAVINGS
WHEN you’ve gone
* * * *
FOR several days
* * *
WITHOUT that letter that
* * *
YOU’D rather have than
* * *
ANYTHING in the world
* * *
AND you go to th e P.O.
❖ * *
IN a kind of discouraged,
* * *
DOWN and out, neglected,
:i: *
TURNED down, dejected,
* * *
LONESOME, lost, blue,
* * *
SORT of mood and then
* * *
HAPPEN to get the very
* * *
MISSLE for which you
* * *
CRAVED, ain’t it great
* * *
HOW all of a sudden
❖ * *
SUCH small matters as
* * *
STIFF courses and
* * *
HARDBOILED profs get
* * *
BLOWN sky high and cease
* Hs *
TO mean very much in your
* * *
YOUNG life? Oh, Boy!
* * *
I’LL say it is!
* * *
Moral:—Dark clouds are like
circus balloons—they’ll get just so
big and burst.
