Fun Is Unrational At
Coggin Ration Party
"May I have your ration
stamp please" was heard more
than once Friday night January

at the Walker-Smith cabin
near Lake Brown wood.
Guests first applied at the
Ration Board where Hazel John-
son was employed for their gas
and food books. A feature of the
evening was a foot race which
ended in claiming with a ration
stamp one's own shoes from a
pile of all the guests' shoes.

off and tea and coffee were ser-
ved at the Ration Board upon
presentation of the proper

Notes On How To Study
Our little bookworm shall we
call her Clorissa?? has just
emerged from the H. P. library
staggering under two arm loads
of books. One might think it
was the week before exams ah I
but you don't know Clorissa. She
studies at the beginning of the
term too!! It seems she wants
to be the exception to prove the
rule.
Staggering as we said under
her load of literature she final-
ly makes her way over to the
Dormitory. As luck would have
it there isn't a Freshman in
sight!
So big drops of perspiration
glistening on her forehead she
toils all the way to her room on
third floor. At last breathing a
sigh of relief she's home.
Oh but not yet! Her traitor of
a roommate has locked the
door and you guessed it Cloris-
sa has no key.
To say that our heroine Is
annoyed would be quite an
understatement so let us not be
impetuous and follow her down
three flights of steps to get a
pass key.

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!
Christian Students! There
are only a few more days un-
til our Annual Revival starts.
This is the time when every
Howard Payne Christian
should have one supreme goal
that of putting feet to
prayer. It is a time of per-
sonal evangelism of conse-
crated efforts for the up-
building of God's Kingdom it
Is a time of "going into the
byways and hedges." But as
Christ has commanded "Pray
wlfVmnf nnnclnrrl" Tf-. Is t.hn
only means by which we shall f
obtain victory in this special
religious emphasis week!
Pray for lost souls on this
campus and pray that they

Classes Elect

ected their student officers for

(Continued on Back Page)
Finally we find ourselves look-
ing over Clorlssa's shoulder
while she thoughtfully arranges
her reading material on the
desk before her. She has all the
references she needs to get her
term theme semester reports
book reports. What a relief to
have it all collected before her!
(We might say we're glad that
wc aren't Clorissa!)
Now we are going to have a
first-hand demonstration of
"How to Study."
First Clorissa closes her eyes
and picks a book. After writing
her bibliography and glancing
at the chapter titles she chooses
her subject "Chapter Twelve
or Why I Need an Education."
Naturally Clorissa plays fair and
reads the entire chapter before
she begins to copy It word for
word.
After the first paragraph-
where is that music coming
from? That must be the Hit
Parade!
A sharp repremand to self and
Clorissa horn rims and all Is
back at work. Concentration
that is the essence of study.

What was that show Roomie
said I must see??? If I could only
remember Oh well I'll ask her
when she comes in.
Once again back to work she
goes.
Finding that she has ex-
hausted one book she turns to
another for 'Rissa' only has four
pages and the prescribed num-
ber is ten.
She picks again blindly.
M this is interesting!!
"She was gong out in the
world to find her future and for-
tune. Mary was thinking more
of a future" but Clorissa Is
supposed to be studying. Come
girl snap out of It!
Hey Clorissa!!
We hate to tell you readers if
you're still there that Clorissa
has forsaken us and left us in
search for truth in "How to
Study."
Clorissa is engrossed in a fic-
tion publication of the "Boy
Meets Girl after Girl Seeks Boy"
caliber.
Pardon us now; we're looking
over her shoulder again. She's
beginlng on page one.
