BY JACK HILL.
Away with your diamonds,
rubies and emeralds. Enough of
this talk of star sapphires! Gems
can no longer be considered a
king's ransom.
Any young and enterprising
male who really wants to make
the big dent on his favorite fe
male should turn to the cellar.
This is no joke. . comes Christ
mas, a diamond bracelet wont
cause your fair maiden's heart to
flutter, but a carbon necklace
with an 8 karat (that's one me
dium size lump) of anthracite
will.
Jewelers Stock Coal.
We have unreliable and fal
lacious reports that all the better
jewelry stores are laying in avail
able quantities of that lovely
stuff classified as bituminous and
or anthracite. If there are any
low catiffs who doubt our word,
we suggest a hasty trip to An
drews or Sosh.
Lumps of coal in those hallowed
halls are being treated with more
respect than full professors. We
were going to say graduate read
j ers, but after some thought, we
' decided that no one respects
'graduate readers at all. We pre
! diet that the day will come late
in this semester when the readers
will begin to use semester book
reports as fuel. This will only oc
cur, of course, if they can tear
their reactionary souls away from
the long accepted custom of using
such reports as ink rags.
One Last Glance.
To turn from our favorite sub
ject of "Why I Dislike Readers'' .
in four letter words or less, we
shall- give one final shuddering i
glance to the coal situation.
Weathering out this winter will
be no mean feat. If the effect on
the temperature of the classrooms
is noticeable a week after John L.
has indigestion, what will the
same effect be after yesterday?
The only reasonable solution we
have heard of late came from our
revered friend G. Tierney Shes-
iaK.

Boy Scout on the Fire."

BY THE CHRISTMAS FAIRY.
Today I was in the crib. For a
long time I tried to figure out
what was different about it. Then
the light struck, with the full
lorce of a lead balloon. A branch
had been installed to double as a
Christmas tree.
The scraggly bit of evergreen
looked pretty sad, I'll have to ad
mit, so I thought and thought
about what could be done. The
rocks I use for brains were pretty
tired, so I pulled out my pipe,
filled it with marijuana and pro
ceeded to have an opium dream.
That tree was certainly decorat
ed! It looked like one enormous
crib, with chocolate oozing all
over it. Little hobgoblins were
dancing around it, singing "Jingle
Bells" and the waiteres were so
excited, they mixed milk shakes
on the ceiling.
New Decorations.
Then I noticed that the new
decorations were strung on the
strings of popcorn balls. There
were Marthclla Holcomb's glasses,
a pink hat with blue polka-dots
and a green feather from Shes
tak's collection, and Elmer
Sprague's notebook. Keith Man
ning's reserve girl friend was
stranded out on a limb. .
Joe Loisel's buckets had been
hung on every third branch to add
a lighter ' touch, and Eleanor
Knoll's gavel was wearing itself
out pounding on Bud Wchrman's
false-bottomed ballot box.
Mayborn's Pin.
Gene Mayborn's lost pin was
there, too (this was quite a dream)
and Bill Thornburg'3 pitchfcik,
the one that matches his devil's
hood, was parked underneath.
While I watched, horror-stricken,
a familiar character (he lives
in the crib, they say) ambled over
to the tree and examined it care
fully. Nonchalantly, he climbed
to the top, grabbed the l.alo away
from the angel perched there (it
was really Duke Novotny) and
knocked the poor creature off the
tree.
When I recognized the grinning
face tinder the halo for Walt Sim
on's, I woke up quickly. This
started out to be a dream, not a
nightmare, and besides, a dream
about the crib is no dream with
Simon, too!

A Gift

A PHOTOGRAPHIC-PORTRAIT is a source of
much pleasure to one's friends. As a token of
affection and remembrance, it is certain to be
appreciated. And when done by Townsend,
it is certain to be artistic and distinctive.
