THE NEBRASKAN
I
we hnve learned some things. Before Mr.
W. umpires another game we advi.se him to
take a course under Mr, Toomey of Baker.'
If there is any way of ,4hossing" an oppos
ing team which Mr. Toomey doesn't know it
has been invented since the twenty-eighth of
October. For pure, unadulterated nerve Mr
Toomey takes the "Bakery." He knows
very few of the rules of foot ball and those
that he knows he is more than anxious to
misapply in favor of his own team. If the
managers of the Nebraska team ever allow
a player of an opposing team to umpire
again they deserve to be beaten about 'stoen
thousand to nothing.
The glee club has given up the ghost.
Its demise is greatly to be regretted. The
musical circles of the student body have
always been unenterprising and somnolent.
It seemed at the beginning of the year as if
they had wakened up. A glee club and a
banjo and mandolin club were both started.
Lack of tenors seems to have killed the
former. It seems strange that out of six or
seven hundred men two cannot be found who
can sing first tenor. If there are any such
let them come forward and gain glory for
themselves by giving new life to the club.
The banjo and mandolin club has been more
fortiimite. A permanent organization has
been effected. The officers ore : J. Becher,
president ; C. Hebbard, secretary and treas
urer; H. Ricketts, custodian; E. C. Hardy,
manager. Practice and rehearsals arc held
every week, on Saturday evening. A few
more mandolins with players attached are
desired It is the present intention to take a
trip through the state next spring. This will
be another good advertisement for the Uni
and a great trip for those who go. This
club is the nearest we have yet come to the
consummation of a purely student musical
organization. What it has done so far is
commendable. If it attains maturity and
accomplishes what it proposes to, those who
have it in hand will deserve a crown of glory
from the University.
Strange how worked up I am,
Over this old exam.
Final. How 1 did cram.
June, 91.
Eighty, the mark 1 got.
Say, but those times wore hot.
Fired if had been caught,
Sure as a gun.
Ponied? Of course 1 did.
That was the way 1 slid
Through the exam., and hid
All my short-comings.
Had to, to make it go.
Think it was 'cause I am slow ?
What could you expect me to know,
With all my bumming?
Studied? Why not a bit.
Gads ! I'd have had a lit
Merely to think of it.
Rather play poker.
Loafing the whole day through ;
Attended a class or two ;
You can bet it was only a. few.
Think I'm a sucker?
Then came the final day,
With the last stake to play ;
The very duce to pa
If I was caught napping,
Did I get through it well?
These papers the story tell.
Passed it as slick as a bell.
How did it happen?
Mathematics. What makes you grin?
Same class that yon were in?
Well it would be a sin
Not to get through it.
Cheat? Why of course if you could.'
In geometry any one wouid.
Afraid? Well that's pretty good.
An infant could do it.
Look at a page or two,
Half of the words crossed through,
Red ink 'twas done with, too ;
Used none too gently.
But the mark on the outside leaf, f
Why that calms all my griqf. '
Eighty, or I am a thief.
Great Geemenently ! D. A. H:
