a bit of advice I want to give to Mil-
ton Doughty. He is a Alpha Lambda
Tau and a right good chap but Milton,
never let your thoughts mislead your
judgment as they did in class the
other day. Tut- tut, Milton, you know
what I mean.
Do you remember Bennie Spinks?
I know you do. We all love Bennie
and were quite surprised to find out
that she was a mistress of arts, who
robbed a bachelor (Dr. Mason) of his
degree, and is forcing him to study
philosophy by' means of certain lec¬
tures— but frop all I can gather he
doesn't mind.

And the flowers are filled with dew,
And the dew is filled with love

could be so romantic!
I took a step or two farther. I
ran right into Bob Rowland and Ed-
wyna Walker. Now I know romance
was in the atmosphere and Bob tried
to catch at bit of it. He tried to make
a fitting verse for his lady friend and
was sort of confused. I couldn't make
it out at all. A day or two later X

The recent election In the first term
of Summer School brought the spirit
of the student body up to a point of
interest comparing favorably with
that of the Regular Winter session.
This session of Summer School is rap¬
idly becoming more a unit of stu¬
dents. pulling together more than ever
before. Instead of being merely a
large crowd of transient strangers
with a certificate or some dlrely need¬
ed credits solely in mind, the people
are getting more out of pleasant as¬
sociations, and college spirit, it is
noted.
