aie found. This maiden is none othei than Miss Lucy Blair

OUR WAR WHOOP MOPIO
For those who peisist in wooing;
For the upperclassmtn und their undoing;
For their full we are us-uing.
This Freshman ballyhoo.
FRESHMAN EDITION
Another proof of the demociatie spiiit ol Mc-.Muiry College is
manifested in the class editions. Euih spring teini the regului stutf
of the War Whoop takes a vacation and gives each class u chunce to
edit their ideal ol u colli ge newspaper without the u-sistunee ol llu-
usual staff.
Again the Freshmen aie al a disadvantage; lliiv edit firt so
that the upper-classmen may have ihe last word- se you? absolute-
ly not!! The Freshmen put out their issue lirst o pie the upper-
classmen a model of a real class edition. So beni with us this
week in our lling al journ ilism- il is a novel ixpetienie li both
of us.
If you happen io see au hulf-iraied maniacs tearing aiound
the corridors please do not tall the toloiiy but lathei pick them
up gentlv and return them to the War Whoop olfiio loi undoubtedly
they will be members of the Freshman Stall. (These poor creatures
are not to be (oufuscd with those afflicted oms v.lm wander about
tile campus in pairs with a dieamy look in their eye-. The wild lost
look of a FISH reporter easily identifies him.)
But if you laugh more at the content than al llu- mistakes and
find enjoyment in reading some item in this issue the Freshmen
will feel that tluir efforts to imitate a real stuff have not been alto-
gether in vain.
CONCEITED EH?
It's a novel experience for the War Whoop to hive any fti'sli
green literature. S'es it's literature and written by the college's
most energetic and prized belonging il's Ficslimau ilus Why does
the college piie il's Freshman class.'' It's haul In list every leisou
but for one thing the flesh green lilciulure is not sprouting or
spioutiug with needless adjectives and verbs. We can't use as
much skilled language as the It allied uppcrclassmcn -and then we
we wouldn't if we could. We can't bring ouiselves to write up such
uninteresting material as out bdleis. We use much belter judg
meiit and much shiewder featuie writers than our uppciclasstuen
friends. It is nut our purpose to brag ahem hut the upperclass-
men might get some good ailv ice from us.
SHALL WE FOLLOW?
Every Freshman should find a win thy model for himsell in the
upper class and should pattern his life us such. If you are inclined
to be frivolous then find some empty minded useless peison and
copy him to the Nth degree. If you want to be socially minded
then get yourself u "pull" and get in with the lullegiate "fun-mak-els."
If you want to be studious and amount to something then
associate with the college "intelligent" and make friends of your
leathers. If you want to combine pleusuie and study which should
be the normal c-ouise ol eveiy Fii'shinuu then devote part lime to
each. If you wuut In gel married which is usually a minor if not a
major aim of every n-wi fieshman then draw your own conclusions
and grub some . More than likely you know how to manage
your own affaiis of this type.
Despite the war cry "Grab n-.
klcs" and the war dance that ac-
companies it. the Fieshmen live
prosper and are again as always
leady to set forth a proper e-1
ample for the uppei -classmen.
And now pardon a few idle
obscivalious from an uninterested
passtuby.
