THE BATTALION S Did you ever have those springtime blues so bad that it was impossible to keep still and then too you are flunking that calculus. Then one day you receive a letter from that girl whom you have been writing to ever since you put on long trousers, saying that she will send you that picture for which you have been begging and was never before able to talk her in to send ing. With this bit of good news your hopes mount high and you greedily await its arrival. In a couple of days you jog over to Hayes’s sub station in the Main build ing and there you find that tissue covered package for which you have hereto vainly beg ged for. When once again in the secluded pri vacy of yohr room you hastily unwrap and there on p bit of card board the sovergein of your heart smiles up at you. Transported to paper She seems even more beautiful than ever. And then the self satisfying idea jeeurs that this is the time to show it to one of the boys from the old home town. So you go over to his room walk in and stand around until he finally asks you whats in that package and then with a feel ing of exaltation you thrust that fac-simile of that lovely vis ion in his face. Then with a look of surprize your friend ejaculates “Why its just like the one she sent me last year.” And turning your head you see a similar photograph reposing on a dusty corner of his bureau. “GIT FUR HOME BRUNO”.
