Editor for the Alumni Advertising Bates Upon Bequest JAKE BLAKE SAYS: Ah wonders if dese new Idlotors don’ know dat hit am customary ter set ’em up occasionally. There’s a ((iicer relation between ii man’s stomach and his brain. What a mail eats dictates what he thinks in a large measure. Education pays everybody but eilueator. If beinp; abused and out of favor builds friendships among the out casts, then evolution and revolu- t.ion ought to liobnob together. If the Seniors do ail that it is rumored that they are going to do, they’ve got some job. The surest sign of spring that %ve have seen is the campus clean ing gang. It is alleged that the drives on the campus are to be laid out. They usually do lay out the dead before a funeral. While Miss Friedman was demonstrating speed on the type writer, we couldn't help thhiking of the fellows who are working on the stairway banisters. Everybody is warned to breathe deep while the air is pure. It will soon be heated with Senior oratory. The baseball season opens with Trinity at Trinity on March 27, come on, let’s get behind the team. It would aid greatly in coal conservation, if Senior oi'ations came in mid-winter. CASTLES ON MAIN STREET All of us have built castles in Spain. It is a fine thing, too, to dream dreams, for in the midst of our dreaming, we may see a visifm. It is the vision which counts. It counts in the life of the individual, and in the life of a nation. It is vision which erects castles on Main street. Oastles in Spain are but little related to life, but castles on Main street are the warp and woof of life. They are dreams, too, but they are dreams which drive the dreamer on to their realization. Oastles on Main street build great fortunes, organize and direct big business, and in fine dominate the work of the world. The castles on Main street are not so fair ]>erhaps, as the castles in Spain, but the castles on Main street are realities or may become so. Only fairies may dw'ell in the castles in Spain, but men and wo men live in the castles on Main •street. Out of them come alike the joy and tlie sorrow of the world. After all the joy and the sorrow of the world are very close to each other. In one home there may be lights and music and laughter, and next door shadows and silence and tears. All these things, as well as the loves and the hates of the world ai’e closely interwoven w'ith the castles oii Main street. Out of the dreams of men materializes the work of the world, and out of the work of the world comes its joys and its sorrows. When men dream right dreams, w’hen they build sinilit castles on Main street, when in those castles there are no dungeon keeps, then, the sorrow of the world will be no more. Our task then is to teach our boys and girls how to build the right kind of castles on Main street. •oooooooooooo* o O O LOTTA JUNK O o By "JACK BABBIT” O • OOOOOOOOOOOO# Elen’s baseball team is rai)idly petting in shape. Every afternoon on Comer field a squad of 35 men are faithfully working to win a regular place on the team. Five men are out to win berths on the pitching staff, of which two are letter men, Underwood and Captain Barker. Apple and Bi-axton of the new men are showing up bpst. (.'oach is work ing hard to mold a combination together that win be a credit to the institution. The opening game with 1'rinity is just about a week off. Let's get up the spirit and back the team to the limit. Who wants some oranges? See Nan nie Aldridge, ^fabel Wright. Novie Smith, Helen Battley. or Frances Turner.

Last Saturday night there were two banquets on the hill. so. of course, there were many former students here to cele brate the events, (’an you imagine two champion water throwers in the build ing at the same time, and not a bag of water thrown? “(ihee” Fix and II.

SyBJECT SUNDAY Misses Austin and Howell Lead Inter esting Meeting—Many Girls Take Parts on the Program, Much interest was shown in the Y. W. C. A, meeting Sunday night. The leaders were Misses I^ucy Austin and Itose Howell. “Steadfast Loyalty" was the toi)ic for discussion, and it proved to bp 1 vory appropriate one: coming at the close of the great revival meetings which had just been held by Rev. H, S. Ilard- castle. From the large number of girls present and the excellent talks made by those taking part on the program, one could not help but feel that they were showing' their loyalty; and the great enthusiasm and the wonderful spirit of the revival meetings w^as still manifest. 'Phe meeting was oj)ened with silent prayer, the prayer being closed by Miss Essie Mae Gotten, after which Miss Jjucy Austin read the scripture lesson. Miss Florence Fisher sang very impres sively. “The Home of the Soul.” Then Miss Kuby Rowland led in prayer. Miss Howell opened the discussion by citing instances of loyalty, such as was shown by the early Christian martyrs, (iueen Esther and John Bunyan, The story of Ruth was told by Miss Austin. In telling this she commented upon Ruth’s loyalt to her people. Loyalty was discussed from the following viewpoints: TiOyalty prompted by J-.ove, Misguided T^oyalty. Rewards of Loyalty to Fi'iends and to Christ. Jjoyalty to one's I.ife AVoi-k. and T.ack af Loyalty in a Person’s Life.
