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.”
