Guess Who?
He booms ut people right and
left
And always speaks his mind
Yes he's really quite a tyiant
Keeping all of us in line.
He tears his hair and mops his
brow
Over each and evciy song
Wondering if we know it
Or if we'll do it wrong.
On all the tiresome Choir trips
He's always bright and gay
The only one who's even nice
About the crack of clay.
He isn't too much ovei weight
With his tummy like a barge
And he's stuely one swell guy
'Cause his heait k just as largo.
I'll cease to keep you in suspenee
For what I know I'll shate it
The guy of whom I'm speaking
Is of couise our Dr. Ganett.
Pat Stricklm

The doctor decided Mr. O'Bi ten
needed an opeiation.
'I'll hen J you to the finest sut-
gcon I know" he said "He's the
best man in the profession foi the
tpe of onoi ation you need
Here's his address Di. Kilpatnck
"Oh no yez don't" inteirupt-
ed Mr. O'Bucn "Thot name is
much too ominous My firsth
name is Pathuck "
Veiy much against her will
she found hciself in the aims of
her fiance's college pal. Before
she could stiuggle free he had
stolen a kiss
"Don't!" she cued dramatical-
ly. "My lips are for another."
"Sure thing beautiful" he
murmured "puckei up and I'll
give you another."
Fortunately it was only re-
hearsal. The conductor couldn't
have afforded to lose his patience
if it had happened at the concert.
The orchestra was teetenng pre-J
cariously along a delicate and soft
passage when the peicussionist
ave out with a teinfic wallop
on his drum. The other musicians
stopped playing and the conduc
tor glaied at the offendei.
The drummer leaned forward
and looked at his music swiped
at the punted page with an im
patient fmget and muttered!
'Drat those flies"
The little lad's mother was en-
cgiossed in the sceneiy as the
tiain hummed lhythnucally over
the lails so she didn't notice her
son making a glutton of himself
with flints and cookies fiom their
lunch box.
Just then the conductor came
a long He noticed that the lad
was either cloe to oi over the
half-fate age.
"Well .sonny" he said "ate you
over eight'"
'Teh ten" clucked the boy
'Such 1'iammar. I have ovei eat-
en su."
After painting out the man
advantages of the house he was
timg to sell the salesman ges
tuicd pioudly and enthused:
"Now su that is a house with-
out a flaw "
The piospective customer look-
ed amaed. ' Remaikable" he
said "But what does one walk
on?"
Who is Educated? There are
five tests of the evidence of education-
Con ectness and piecision
in the use of the mother tongue;
icfined and gentle manners the
result of fixed habits of thought
and action: sound standards of
appieciation of beauty and of
i worth and a character based on
those standaids; Power and habit
of leflection; efficiency or the
power to do

Most of us are beginning to
think of the idea of what we will
have for Easter which is a good
idea. Some of the little things
that mean a lot to the costume
are hats gloves and hose. The
hats this year aie having a lot
of floweis en them but most of
tho flowers n.e in the back. The
gloves aie mostly nylon and short
for summer. Hose have a color
shaded heel to match vour dress
or suit or shoes then the pictur-
eque hose is becoming quite pop-
ular. These things aie needed to
complete an Easter wardrobe for
the madam.
If ou are thinking of a suit
for Easter the newest ones have
a look as if they weie molded
right on you or else they have a
loosely cut jacket that reaches
just the top of your hip bones
The checks aie good this year
and next to that is a penstripe.
But if you prefer a solid color
Navy will be your best bid. Of
course a suit calls fot a blouse
and the slcevless blouses aie
good for the entne summer. They
are comfoi table and pietty.
Plaid is seen m dresses quite
freqently and also in the boy's
shirts. Alta B. Scott wears a
pieety light brown tan and
green plaid chess with luffles on
the pockets. It is very becoming.
Bybil Reid has a putty dark
blown and light green paid chess
with the stand up collar. Arvcl
Holt wears a pretty plaid shirt.
The plaids being dark blue light
blue and wine It suie is neat and
good looking. Alvm Turner chose
lead tan and grey plaid for a
shut.
Tannic King weais a pietty
navy blue laincoat accented by
a full swinging back The loud
sox worn by Rogene Worley are
pietty. Thev are of giey back-
giound with a wide led stripe
small blue ones and a white de-
sign They are quite outstanding.
Jane Black weais a pietty grey
knitted blouse with blue figures.
It looks nice with a giey skut
too. Romona Tennison looks nice
in the white blouse with scallop
ed collai anJ cuffs which makes
it very different.
Hoping that you will have
good luck in selecting your Eas
ter outfit I leave you this week.

DEVIL AT WESTEASE
H. Sackville-West Doubleday
II. Sackville-West in his Devil
at Wcstease has pioduced quite
a yarn. Its a tendei love stoiy
based on a mysterious element
The locale is England. The time
shortly after World War II
Roger Liddiaul ventuies out
from London in seaich of peace
and secunty and quite accidently
falls on the hamlet of Weslville
He fell so quickly in love with
tho town and the people that he
bought a faun and began to
write. He was by natuie an auth-
oi of some fame.
In the couise of time he finds
himself chawn into a muider
The muideicd man is the father
of his fiancee. Meanwhile he has
met two very intelligent people;
one an old man ( philosopher)
and the other a veiy famous
painter. One antagonizes him the
other pleases him.
In the course of the novel Lrd-
diaid discoveies his friends to be
the same and that one of the two
men (l cully one) murdeied the
fiancee's father
What happens from this is up
to you if you choose to read Tho
Devil at Westoaso.

When Easter vacations aie the
topic of some if not all the con-
versation this week we think of
going somcwheie perhaps home.
Just suppose that the office
iwoikeis spend their holidays in
a tourist resort inn by Piopuetoi
G G. Dickey. The office workers
aie waiting to get icgisteied As
they enter the beautiful icsoit
ou will find to your light seveial
species of tropical floweis two
to be exact. In the far light coi-
ner you will find a sign which
says Dr. Pepper. I hauily think
theie aie dunks though a ther-
mometei covets half of the sign.
I have not quite figuied what
foi yet. A beautiful view of a
seashoie may be viewed to one's
left as you entei. (Theic is no
danger of getting penumonia
liom getting your feet wet
though).
For entertainmenU if you want
to call it that) guests do a num-
ber of Dungs. In the very center
of atli action is a marble game
going on. Who should we find
theie but Piopuetoi Dickey Big
Game Hunter Gordon S Taylor
Business Man E. F. Smith and
jokester John Mitchell. What'!'
You ask why all the maibles are
black'' Well you see there is no
demand for black balls of chew-
ing gum
Of course John has to tell a
latest joke he has heard But
wait he is telling a stoiy today.
Out near Banns they found a
snake that was 25 ieet long Hav-
ing never seen such a snake be-
foie they sent it to Austin foi
examination The report that
came back was "grubworm tak
ing Hadicol "
Theie seems to be a little noise
to oui ellt by machines It is
made by the exeicising machines
You move youi fingeis up and
down and slam a little lever to
make muscle in your aims and
hands. The object of the uame
is to see who can do it the
fastest The paiticipants pick up
a muc jiece in paper anci iud
fuiioush Say what does that
have to do with the game9 Oh
they made a mistake in the scoie.
Fur hei relavatron an eldeily
lady (I can't sav who) sits in an
eas chan and leads "How to

Rogeis even lesides at this te-
soit If you don't believe me
come in and take a look When
