PLEASE ACCEPT OUR THANKS.
With the last ipsue of the J-Tae for this year, the staff takes
the opportunity of thanking the student bod'y for its co-operation
during the' financial difficulties experienced during the year.
Especially do we thank those loyal students who paid their good
money for the fast few weeks' paper? and were rewarded with
only a few copies. Valiant efforts; of the business staff were not
enough to keep the cash balanced and it was necessary to sus-
pend publication. The entire staff appreciates the help and good
Wishes which the student body extended throughout the year.
We also take this opportunity to urge tlie students who will be
here next year to subscribe for the ,T-Tae at the first of the year
and make it possible for the staff to publish the paper. We have
chosen the Editor and Business Manager for next year, and we
have chosen well. Let us stand behind them and help thern make
the J-Tae next year one of the very best papers in the State.
We hope that everyone has enjoyed reading the J-Tac. We have
enjoyed giving our efforts toward creating a permanent history,
in the form of a newspaper, of the campus activities of the year
19K2.3933. The staff thanks you for your support and ask that
you give the staff next year the same enthusiastic support.

PEOPLE WF HATE
The girl who uses your off pe-
riod telling about the date she had
the night before.
The smart gay that is always
making wisecracks about other peo-
ple's intelligence.
The girl who just can not get
her mind off the good time she had
with some other boy.
The inconsiderate brute who just
won't notice your new dress.
The girl who just can't see you
by yourself but gushes all over you
whon the boy friend is along".
The hefty "he" man who can not
be polite for fear of being called
soft.
The lousy bird who listens to
your joke and then shouts the end
before you get to it.
The people who can't rend, this
without feeling hurt.

'Twould never do to set a trap
(As is done with wild game)
And think, perchance, by some
mishap
Wisdom will fly into the same.
Ah me, Wisdom is not that
tame!
'Twould not do to just say,
"please,"—
Expecting Wisdom to embrace
your kind,
For Wisdom is not caught with
ease
But comes untempted to the
perserving mind.

I'D BATHER
When I am graduated and pass-
ed on, I'd rather have it said of me
chat he was : "good old boy" than
ta have had all the honors the
school and students could have
heaped upon me.
I'd rather be known as one to
whom everyone could tell his trou-
bles and receive a sympathetic
hearing, as a general good friend
to all, and a square shooter, than
to be the recognized leader Of one
yet who uald aloof from most of
the students.
I'd rather have every student for
my friend and receive a pleasant
gre et ing from each as X passed than
to be known as one who had to do
with i r.ly a select few.
In ; tc i t, I'd rather be a common
everyday student with a large
group of friends whom I can con-
fide ir and receive their confiden-
ces, whom I would not hesitate to
cal1 on in time of need and be sure
of receiving aid, among whom I
wr.u .1 br trusted and respectcd,
than to be anything else I can think
of in my few years spent in col-
lege. —Optimist.
Wichita, Kans. (CNS)—Maybe
the beautiful but dumb girls have-
something after all!
Acocrditig to observations made
by Professor H. W. Mikesell, head
of the psychology department at
the University of Wichita, girls
with personality, rather than
brains, are most likely to succeed.
"Psychology has determined by
actual experiment that success de-
pends 85 per cent upon personal-
ity and only 15 per cent on brains,
he said.
He criticized the tendency of
colleges to "place high emphasis
upon intelligence and little stress
upon personality."
■—Pow-Wow.
Poetess—Have you ever seen
the sun setting in such a blaze of
glory that it swallows up the hor-
izon with (ire, or the mist gliding
down the hilltop like a spectre?
"Yes. Miss, I used to, but I'm
on the water wagon now."

"I'll be frank with you," said the
young man when the embrace was
over, "You're not the first girl I
ever kissed."
'Til be equally frank with you,"
she answered. "You've got a lot to
learn.' —The Bat.
The 68,000 retail stores in Texas
do an annual business of more
than two billion dollars. The state
ranks fifth in the number of retail
establishments and seventh in the
volume of retail business.
You won't believe it but snakes
in New York are commanding
more money than ever before. A
garter snake sells for 15 cents, A
python brings as high as $300.
A good many New Yorkers are
studying amateur magic. The toy
shops report an unusual demand
for magicians' kits.
Was in a cafe the other night
when I noticed that a woman at
an adjoining table was wearing sil-
ver-plated finger nails.
Skoal, a thin, crisp, tasty bread
which goes well with beer is as
much in demand in New York as
pretzels.

West Side of the Square
When Balzac, the undertaker,
failed to report for duty the next
day, it became evident that some-
thing was wrong, and Kendel and
Beckerman, Balzac's helpers, hur-
ried to the emhalmer's home which
was situated far out in the dense
forest.
It took considerable time to
break into the house and was even
more difficult to enter the room,
which was simply in a dreadful
state.
"Just as I suspected," cried Ren-
del in a somewhat disgusted man-
ner. Beekermann merely stared at
the ugly figure hurled together in
a puddle of blood, with empty im-
ported liquor bottles strewn about
the floor. The body was already
cold and stitF and the man's eyes,
which seemed to bulge out of their
sockets, had that fixed glassy, ter-
rifying aspect,
"Well," broke in Beekermann,
hesitatingly and in a rather sad
tone, after a long silence, "It looks
as if you'll hafta do the embalming
now, kid."
The- young -man gave none too
cheerful a nod.
"Look," said he hurriedly, as if
attempting to expel his friend's
grave remark from his memory,
"Look, how badly the bed sheets
are torn; he must have fought
himself. The after-effect of liquor
brings about strange hallucina-
tions, doesn't it?"
"Yes indeed," replied Beeker-
mann, in his usual low, mournful
monotone, "but he won't be restless
