PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPART-
MENT TO OFFER NEW COURSE
LIFE
Rumor has it that Coach Strahan,
ably assisted by Miss Hines, will,
during the summer term, establish
under the auspices of the Depart-
ment of Physical Education a course
in Anesthetic Dancing. According
to leading medical specialists the
sport in question develops a certain
muscle, the Esophysoreaus, and it
is positively essential to have a good,
active Esophysoreaus if one wishes to
become an eff.cient school teacher.
A committee is now working ou:
a schedule for classes and is making
plans for an intercollegiate team.
Lively competition is expected for
places on the team and any young
man in the Normal with a general
average of D is eligible. Perkins,
Bachle, and Pinckney Landrum have
already announced their intention of
returning in the summer to take up
this hitherto sadly neglected part of
their education in an attempt to en-
hance the charms they now bear for
the feminine eye. If you are in-
terested see Coach Strahan or Miss
Hines.

A LITTLE ADVICE
The following extract from a letter
was found on the campus, and as the
identity of the writer is not disclosed,
we feel free to publish it in the hopes
the suggestions therein will prove
beneficial to certain readers:
.......... is growing to a lengthy
epistle and the hands of the clock
point dangerously near to twelve so 1
must close. Now if you’ll just make
use of the little tips I’ve given you as
how best to profit by the individual
eccentricities of each of the instruc-
tors up there I’m sure your life will
be a bed of roses at S. W. T. N.
As a final admoratLfl and guide re-
member, it’s as much as your life is
worth.
1. To talk in Chapel when
Prexy’s at the helm.
2. To say “dance” in more than
a whisper.
3. To “answer back” when a guy
waves from a car.
4. To use the phone for any in-
formation (?) other than tram
schedules.
5. To make a “two-some” with a
boy in swing.
7. To say “listen” when address-
ing the Dean.
8. To know out-of-town boys who
aren’t “cousins.”
9. To “park” longer than two
minutes in the corridors.
10. To ride in a “mixed” car.
11. To answer “present” for your
pal cutting classes.
12. To “doctor” the landlady’s
clock on Saturday nights.

There are eyes of j brown and hazel;
There are eyes of .shining blue,
There are eyes that fill with con-
sternation,
There are baby eyes and wise eyes
too.
There are eyes th it talk and eyes ol
sunshine,
There are eyes pathetic with a plea,
But the eyes that raise me up to
heaven
Are the eyes that speak of love for
me.

Some poets rave about the “one hoss
shay”—
Others about a little birch canoe—
Some folks can sit and write all day
About a ride on a steamboat too.
You’ve heard of “trolling Down a
Shady Lane”—
Where he called her his sweet heait
true,
But the thing that beats ’em all, from
cycle to train,
Is a little Ford; just room for two.

REGRET
Her lips were so near—
And I hadn’t the nerve.
Twas the chance of a year
(Her lips were so near).
She was angry, I fear,
And her scorn I deserve;
Her lips were so near
And I hadn’t the nerve.
