MUSINGS OF A MASTER MIND The eccentricities of our modern life is becoming more and more en tangled. The wheels of our Col lege life are again running smoother as time rolls on. The relics and me moirs of a dead past rise up and confront us. The will to do asserts itself. But the road of action is blocked by an impassable barrier; a slip of cardboard, the printed word of speech, a signature, and the road is closed for improvement. We would hardly think it possible that a very small slip of cardboard could bar the way to our upholding the traditions that have been brought down to us since A. and M. first don ned the swaddling clothes of educa tion. But it is true and we are sad. We have been robbed. Still, in conjunc tion and in accordance with the characteristics that so indelibly mark us as A. and M. men we bear up under the burden of our loss and look afar for the silver lining. We of yesterday had a silver lin ing but it was on our sleeve. A dis- ticton, but a dangerous one. What are to be distinctions of class this year? Must we be readers of minds to assure ourselves that the ones we see are members of that sect for which we seek. May the Gods of Olympus uphold us in our decisions. May the sins of our predecessors not be joined by an unforseen accumulation caused by the acts of their progeny and inheritors. The outlook for the future is not bright. Time only will tell. We must walk the straight and narrow path. But in the interim, we will stand by the guns and see the end of the fight. Perhaps my words are tangled and confused but the point at which I am driving is that our pledge must hold. It is beter to give than to receive. That we fully believe. But the in evitable or rather unavoidable has happened and we are powerless^—-we cannot give as we have received. The relics of yesterday, the mem oirs, the life of a “Fish”, the college spirit which was so inherent from our contact with upper classmen, farewell. We salute you. Those memoirs still take their course along the crowded corridors of our minds. They shall forever remain and be remembered as the dearest reminiscences of our col lege days. Again we salute you. Fare well! WANTED—A STENOGRAPHER WANTED—First class high grade stenographer, salary no object; this stenographer must get it as fast as I dictate and must get it right. She must have human intelligence. If you are not a cracker-jack don’t bother me. Within the morning mail he got the following reply: I have searched Europe, Hoboken and Yap in quest of someone who coud use my talents to an advantage or something. When it comes to this chin music I have never found a bird who could get to first base with me. * I write shorthand so fast that I have to use a specially prepared pencil, with a platinum point, and a water cooling system that I have constructed at an exhorbitant expense, a note book made of asbestos composition covered with profiteer hide, ruled with sulphuric acid and stitched with catgut. I am a double-hydraulically welled drop-forged and oil tempered speci men of human ligntning on a per fect 36 frame. I carry my own specially prepared non-popping chew ing gum—a half in half composition of calf’s foot glue and pig head. Unless you can pay the tariff on my services do not bother me as I am so nervous and fidgety my dress maker takes my measure with a rub ber tape line. If you want me wire. Unless you can pay $5 a week save your time and money. Respectfully yours, ROSE. Sweet voice over the telephone: “Is this the weather beureau ? How about a shower tonight?” Weather Prophet; “All right, go right ahead.” ^Tlrc Icxclmnitc ^acher §jtop appreciates pmtr patamape <S*e*S><S*8><S><S><S><S*SxS><S*S><S>3><S*8><S><S*S><e><S><$Ke><e><8><S><S><$><S><Sx^^ WELCOME BACK!
