HEADQUARTERS PATRONAGE Chemistry quiz question: "What ;ippens to salt when it is nut in Student answer: "It gets wet." Walter Feimster, '19, has returned to the Hill to finish his course. Ben Cone, '20, is a "leatherneck" at Georgia Tech. A fearful tale must be disclosed. The night is dark and lowering, and dark the deed about to be perpe trated upon the peaceful inhabitants of this .campus. The scene of the crime is the Quartermaster's Head quarters in which a large supply of large uniforms awaits distribution to the Rookies on the morrow. Oh, hor rors! what will the morrow, bring forth? Look creeping in the dark among the piles of enormous boots! A villain of unspeakable deeds, a des picable tool of the Kaiser, a German Propagandist,- whose taks 5t is to spread torture and mental anguish among the people of our land; Newly defeated in his most fiendish attempt to rob defenceless women and chil dren of some millions of hours of morning sleep, balked and enraged he turns upon the S. A. T. C.'s through out the land. The torture of rising in darkness is nothing to the pain about to be inflicted through these innocent boots. Doubtless the villain is loading the "hard boys" with in fernal machines or horrible poison as he creeps around the room. Now, his deed accomplished, he disappears.. We see him no more. ' Only his handiwork remains. , And the next day behold a campus full of peaceful doughboys happily acquiring a unnorm. Each repairs to his Barracks to accomplish the final change by plunging into enormous "hard boy" boots. Caution, young sol dier, what horror lurks in the yawn .'ng depths of your new footgear! Hark! what was that? Steps and the explosion of thousands of infernal machines! Frightful sounds of an guish and destruction issue forth! Si lence again and loud explosions as a soldier takes a timid step on tiptoe across the croom. Despair and horror ensue. The soldiers issue from their barracks in fearful agony! Loud ex plosions accompany each step, sounds which upset the strongest nerve and cause many to tremble on the verge of a mental, collapse! Where is that vile fiend, that tor turer of non-combatants? His final crime is accomplished and no more may we walk in peace. He is the man who put the squeak in the "hard boys" and henceforth his crime has condemned us to go among our fel lows on tiptoe, our approach heralded by nerve-wracking creaks and the air around us forever clamorous with dis cordant torture! : ' "-. '"Twas in the year one thousand, nine hundred and eighteen, that, while I was selling strings for beans in the town of Chapel Hill, N. C, caustic changeful chance had so prepared for me a weary walk across the campus of the U. JM. L. It was a dark and dismal dingy night, and verily I felt as tho the evil one was wandering ruthlessly around the row of rustic buildings; no lights were lit; the hour of ten was past and parted; musty mist was mangling 'midst the moody air; the wind it blew the foliage of the stately trees across the gluey ground; I shudered as a flickering firefly flew my eyebrow past; som ber snores slunk the windows of the bricky barracks out, proceeding first from snoozy, simple souls within, whilst overhead a hurricane of hazy clouds, excluding light of all celestial bodies, rushed blindly onward, I know they knew not where. I wished I was not where I was, but yet I was. I quickened my shaking unsteady stride. 'What, ho ? all is lostP, quoth I. 'What sounds of such uncanny creepy na ture greet my ears?' Ah! No snores are these. Such sounds as I now hear are not such as become this world. A shrieking? no! A creak ing? or is it but a squeaking? My time has come. The sound ap proaches from the rear, and lo! it gains on me. My limbs have ceased to work. All is lost. 'Tis well, for many days have I enjoyed in this world. I am content. 'Tis surely his Satanic majesty who rides on creaky wheels of rusted iron. I cannot look back. I shrink behind a tree and wait my doom. An S. A. T. C. M. P. in issued shoes doth pass me by. I am re lieved. Thus ends the narrative." When the S. A. T. C. is abandoned, it is generally understood that, by vote of the student body, a set of regulations similar to the following will be enforced: Alarm clocks must not be found in any of the dorm rooms. Shoes are to be shined only once t week or less. Baths may be taken oftener than twice a week, and no one shall spend less than half an hour in the shower room. The meaning of the word "grat" must be revealed to Freshmen. At least one picture must be tacked on the wall for every square foot of space. i No one shall go to bed before 11 P.M. Two hours or more a day must be spent loafing downtown. The numerals one to four must not be referred to except on Math, class.
