At ten-thii-ty we were brought to the realization that tlie Student Govern ment Reception of nineteen hundred and twenty-six had come to a close when the strains of “Home, Sweet Home,” sadder than usual, fell upon our ears.

So far as we have been able to as certain, there are only two persons con nected with this institution who have a right to dread this day of gladness: namely. Miss Ferrell, and Arnetta. We wish to make apologies here in behalf of Misa Ferrel for the queer addresses that she must read In putting up the mail; It really is not our fault that mail comes to tills college addressed to “The Sweetest Girl in The World.” ”Mrs. Jimmy James Aipple Sauce,” and “Harvey’s Peggy"—we can not help from being sweet, we u.se listerine and palmoiive soap. And Arnetta, poor thing!

There was almost a tie at the end between Eloise Green wood and Dorothy Dunning but Eloise iinaliy gave up on potassium perman ganate.

Last voek he wanted a radio and I told liin to earn it. He shoveled snow •.nd got two dollars and forty cents and then he ran. errands to earn another sixty cents. ‘‘Saturday, he borrowed the other eighty-seven dollars from his mother and bought the radio, which proves lie's a chip of the old block.” —Life A farmer’s wife shipped a crate of eggs to a wholesale house in a city, but before doing so she wrote on one of them: “I got a penny for this egg. What did you pay for it?" She added her name and address. A year later she received an an swer. It was written on the highly enihelllshed stationery of an actor. ‘‘My dear madam,” he wrote, "while playing the part of Hamlet, recently. I received your egg for nothing.” —TUhliUx UY A DISCARDED LOVER l.ove has gone by on careless fee'.. Old memories, linger, bitter-sweet. The fire is ash, the rose is dust. Recause you choose to break my trust. I believed the little lies you told, f Iho't that you were mine to hold, I dreamed of some heroic deed. To act as knight errant at need. Those were the wild, romantic days, When foolishly I dreamed of ways To save your life, in flood or lire, And win you, Lady of Desire.

He: Believe me, dear, I'm sorry. The truth is—tlie other girl hasn't returned it yet. Willie: Say, pop, did you go to Sunday school when you were a boy? Father: Yes, regularly—never missed a Sunday. Willie: Well, I’ll bet It won't do me any good, either. Chemistry Professor (on class): Can any of you tell me anything about Nitrates? Newish Jones: Tliey are cheaper than day rates. EXCUSED Teacher: What does the prefix "Mag” mean? Student: Big. Teacher: Well, give me a word con taining this stem and use It in a sentence. Student: I like magpies. RESPECTFULLY DECLINED Ben, I’ll give you $10 to have your picture made In the cage with that lion! No, suh, boss, not me. He won’t hurt you. He hasn’t any teeth.

While Harold Green was escorting Miss Violet Wise from the church social last Saturday night a savage dog attacked them and bit Mr. Green on the public square.
