As an aftermath to this first humilia-tion, the lowly Freshettes staged a bur-

group including Bessie Williamson andDorothy Lee Corner.

:reluent experiences were recalled bythe Freshettes, when they gave a littleditty entitled "When You Come to theEnd of a Lollypop." It was enjoyed byall.

"Let the Bumble Bee Be" was rend-ered in true fashion by another bunchif pseudo-choristers. A very dramaticversion of the ABC's was presented."Mary's Little Lamb" was also degrad-el by the mummers.

"Infractions of rules deponed by thecotncil sill be dealt with by legal pro-ceedings." the High Priestess warns.

PEN WIELDERSHEAR CALL OFANNUAL STAFF

"Oh Where Are Some Art-tists.' Big Moan of Ye

Editor. Work Starts

A call was made in the last issue ofThe Southwestern for men of expe-rience to work on the "Lynx." Sev-eral have reported for duty. There isstill a dearth of men in certain depart-ments of the Lynx staff.

Carrington Bacon is the only artistwho has offered his services, and asthe art work will be unusually heavyin the '27 Lynx, others are needed.

Men who have had any experiencewith annuals, or those who have am-bitions in this directoin, are urged toreport to some member of the Lynxstaff for assignment of work.

Within the two weeks work will beapportioned out among members ofthe staff, and it is therefore necessarythat the staff be completed immedi-ately.

Plans for the book have not beencompleted, but it is very probable thatthere will be an emphasis given to thefeature sections.

At the outset the editor and busi-ness manager wish to impress uponthe student body the importance ofco-operation with the staff. The bookwill be larger this year, due to a larg-er student body, and will, of course, bemore difficult to handle. Photographsmust be taken on the dates assigned,and notices will be placed on the bul-letin board to this effect.

ALGERNON HOODWINKS THE IRATE CONDUCTOR* * * * * * * F * * * * * * *

Suitcase Wasn't His After All So He Just Laughed and LaughedThe mighty train came to a noiseless

halt amid groans and grindings. AlgyMcNodif was surrounded by his groan-ing parents, despairing of the fact thatthey needs must part with their son,and send him to the distant realms ocollege life. T hey numbered specifically3 aunts, 5 uncles, 26 cousins, 9 brothers,10 sisters, 2 dogs, one father, and onemother,

The grinding sound was made byAlgy, who was viciously gnashing histeeth because he had received word fromthe dean that he could not bring hishorse and buggy to Southwestern.With a fond farewell and a manly stridehe gained the entrance of the Pullman,and seated himself in a vacant seat bya maiden who stared vacantly at himand playfully lifted his watch.

Anon the swashbuckling conductorstrode gallantly down the aisle and spieda large suitcase parked by the seat inwhich Algie was parked.

"Say, buddy," he growled, "you'llhave to move that suitcase."

Now our darling hero had a censorshumor, and had heard the joke whenunder similiar circumstances, the pas-

senger had refused to mose the grip andthereupot the conductor had tossed it(ut of the window. T he passenger justlaughed because it wasn't his suitcase.

"I won't do it," Algy answeredsaicily

'If you tont do it by the time I getback I'll throw it out.

'In that case suit yourself with thesuit case."

Five minutes had elapsed. Algy hadlapsed into slumber and the conductorhad taken a few laps of cars and re-turned just as the sweet young thingsitting next to the reknowned AlgernonMcNoDif was lapping up some gin.

"Aba. you haven't moved that suit-case yet."

"Naw, but this young lady has re-moved a whole case of gin."

"Alright then I'm goner throw itout."

With that he threw it out, and Algyjust laughed and laughed.

"It's my suitcase alright, but what agood joke it would have been if it wassomebody else's."

The conductor retired in confusion.Algernon was a pretty hot thing, and

soon after the young lady next to himhad knocked his hat off and rumpledup his hair and offered him somecigars and gin, he began his hot line.

"low's craps dosn your way?" askedthe bold lad.

"Oh, they'll pass."With that they began to play a game

of golf, and got along rather nicely untilthe porter got interested and woneverything but their shoes.

Pretty soon everybody began to no-tice that it was slowing up. '[heywere still getting along pretty fast, sothey concluded that it must be the trainthat was slowing up.

The conductor sought out the reasonand soon returned to Algy's seat.

"Say," he growled. "you're slowingthis thing up."

"Huh"? growled Mary, Algy's girlfriend. "This boy ain't shlowin' nozzinop. Believe me hesh plenty fash."

"Well, what's that tied to him."Sure enough Algie was slowing up the

train. His mother had tied him to herapron strings and forgot to untie himwhen he left, and the train was drag-ging her behind.

Where Everybody Wears a HaloAnd now comes the hottest bit of news that the wires of the newspapers

have been snocked with in 1o these many days. A dispatch comes from Arcadia,a by-path somewhere in the vastness of Kansas, that the venerable board ofeducation has turned into a fashion unit and now rules on styles. Yea, they haveforsaken the books and now look toward Paris for their inspirations. But strangeas it may seem, they have forsaken Paris and have hied to the sticks for theirmodes.

Glance critically over the forthcoming stipulations of dress and smirk asimpering smile at such archaism.

"No dresses shall be worn to school which are shorter than six inches belowthe knee.

"Use or possession of lipstick or rouge on the school grounds prohibited."No slang phrases or immodest language shall be employed."Wearing of belts by boys is prohibited, their use to be supplanted by sus-

penders.

"Boys are ordered to wear overalls, unionalls or the pants suspended fromthe shoulders.

"The penalty for wearing knee high skirts or dresses to school is expulsionor cancellation of a teacher's contract."

Now that these regulations are in effect, we suggest that they order a batchof haloes for the lads and lassies. Every once in a while we hear of some suchaugust body rising to stifle progress with such foolish fiats, but the sooner theyshake the cobwebs from their visions, the sooner they will realize that the waris over.

Anent the San HedrinThe San Hedrin, mystic order of upperclassmen, is a necessary evil that all

freshmen will admire, as they go through college. At present the frosh con-clude it is but a vast nuisance. Possibly it is a means of much humiliation inbeing tallied, and made to run errands, and answering nonsensical questions.But as "cruel" as it might appear, it is a freshman's first real lesson in life.

l he great majority of freshmen in college are away from the parental hearthfor the first time. Life for him takes on a new aspect. He is thrown onto hisindividual resources for a long period. Lie must meet society without home ad-vice. He must solve situations in his own way.

Should he have been a pampered scion while at home, he will get thatspirit of democracy when he becomes a freshman, for he will learn that every-one is mortal, and that clothes don't make a man, although suits make alawyer. Tlhe San lledrin soon inculcates into the savant that discipline is aninsurmountable precept of life. Men have tried to submerge it, but they are in-dubitably the losers.

But why get gloomy during the freshman year, have you not three years toget your retribution? Those three years are a sacred trust, because it is thenleft to' your discretion in making men out of high school boys, and mouldingthem into machines fit to carry on the affairs of the world.

Collectively, under the name of the San Hedrin, this purpose of making oaksout of saplings tarries on. The San Hedrin may seem unnecessary, but it meansmuch to the individual and to the spirit of the Alma Mater.

Southwestern Willi Shine YetHarvard University has received the sum of $250,000 as an endowment for

the establishment of a laboratory for the study of the mysteries of the eye. Thegift was made by Dr. Lucien Howe, famous scientist and eye student, ofBuffalo, N. Y.

The will of Mrs. John I. Kane, which was probated ,in New York City a fewdays ago. gives sums aggregating nearly $4,000,00 to various charitable and benev-olent institutions. Columbia University receives $1.000,000, as does the New YorkHome for Incurables. The remainder is distributed in sums ranging from $10000 to $600,000 among some twenty-five institutions.

The office boy says the reason why English is always referred to as themother tongue is explained by the fact that his old man never can get in a word.

A lot of fellows are quite willing to wait for their ship to come in providedsomeone else furnishes the ship.

If it were not for their mistakes a lot of folks would never be heard of.

I often take my standin the cloistered hall and puffnonchalantly at a cigaret, (whichis against the traditions of the in-stitution) while the Co-eds gazeat me with admiring eyes. Idon't know what the girls woulddo if I should leave school, but Ido know they would lose interestin the remaining males.

Who's Who in the Senior Class and Why

Miss Margaret CobbOne of the prominent members of the

Senior class of Southwestern this yearis Miss Margaret Cobb. Miss Cobbcan lay claim to having an extremelydiversified education, if a conclusioncan be reached by the number of dif-ferent schools she has attended.

According to the calendar, MissCobb was born at Morrillton. Ark., inthe year 1905. Following this occas-sion of great exhilaration in the Cobbhome, she was duly dubbed Margaret.

Iler early days were spent in the gram-mar schools of Chattanooga, Tenn., andBlytheville. Ark. She tarried in "thewilds" and passed her high school daysin the same Blytheville as above men-tioned.

As time flitted by and the seniorstrife was climaxed by a diploma,

Margaret strode out for more learning.So her paths led to Arkansas College atBatesville, Ark. She passed her fresh-man and sophomore years there in1923, 1924. Her junior year was spentat Southwestern last year, and she isnow embarked on her senior and finalyear in collegiate ranks.

I ler popularity with her mates hasbrought to her the honor of being vice-president of her class. She has figuredin the activities of Chi Omega sorority.In Chi Delta Literary society she haswielded the pen of scribe. She wearsthe "S" of Southwestern by virtue ofher successful season on the 1925 girlsbasketball team.

Always look for Margaret when anygirls' unlertaking is on foot.
