Most important of all, of course, are the many, many new books which have been added, or are in the pro cess of being added, to the shelves. They are so numerous and so lovely that it is impossible to tell you about them. The section of shelves facing the entrance labelled “Recent Ad ditions” holds only a small part of the new books, and bo you will have to start wandering around looking for your favorite authors yourself. New shelves have been put in, too, and consequently all the books have moved from their old positions. Just so you won’t go loking for Willa Gather in the Shakespeare section, (Continued on Page 3) SATURDAY’S CHILD Simdaye child was happy and gay, Because she still had one more day In which to romp and laugh and play. a i i /'J'-'i Mondays child was a little gray About the lips, because next day She needs must tear herself away. Tuesdays child was tearful and sad And likewise were her mom and dad. To end the summer I Ah, too bad. Wednesdays child is tense and frightened. Her mama’s lips are pursed and tightened Why can’t the poor child’s work be lightened? j n •#%: '75 Thursdays child is work-a-day. Classes begun without delay Much to her sorrow and dismay. !; J" Fridays child will be harder pressed More distraught and more distressed. She’ll wonder when she’ll get some rest. Saturdays child will fume and foam She will write at once a letter home. Saying, ‘ ‘ This place is like a tomb. ’ ’ But by Saturday afternoon Our child will begin to watch for the moon. She will forget to be full of woe And how much further she has to go- She will begin to be fair of face. And to put or ribbons and bits of lace. Saturday nights child will be pretty but dumb For the man about town who has promised to come. In case there is no such man, take the ribbon and lace to the Student Government dance. It will be much more entertaining. ADVISORS APPOINTED (CONTINITED FROM PAGE ONe) Woodruff, Helen Kirby. Margaret Schwarze advisor for Frances Alexander, Myrtle Clay, Anna Fogle, Mary E.

SALEM PUY HOUSE THIS IS THE HOUSE THAT . . . (By Annie Secret Willdoo) This is the house that a freshman used to live in before she came to college. This is the door that marks the front of the house that the Fresh man used to live in b. s., etc. This is the porch before the door in front of the house, etc. This is the last step up to the porch before the door in front of the house, etc. This is the foot, or rather the feet of the Freshman who formerly lived in the house with the front door, porch and top step, before she came to college. This is the next-to-top step up to the porch before the door in front of the house, etc. These are the feet of a hero sweet (rhyme unintentional), who form erly belonged to the Freshman, who formerly lived in the house (both before she came to college), with the front door, the porch and the steps. This ia the night before the day when the Freshman, who is now a Freshman, but who was then a high school senior, must leave the house with the front door, porch, and steps, and come to college. This is the hour of the night before the day—etc., 2:30 A. M. sh-h, this is quiet hour. This is the situation. This is the window above the door in front of the house, etc. This is the noise the window makes when it opens in a frank, friendly way—scrabsch— This is the noise the window makes when it opens in a parental and temperamental way—blazelchicht. This is the noise—blazelclicht— This is the voice which rises above the blazelclicht of the window above the door and also above the two steps and the two pair of feet and the night before and the hour of the night—2:30 A. M.— This is the conversation. This is superfluous; we all know it off by heart. This is the verdict of the voice above the blazelchicht of the window above the door and the feet, and the steps, etc. “This is the last time I’m going to call you, etc.” This is the joint opinion of those on the step and next-to-top step, ver bally expressed: “O Heck.” This is the feminine for what was real ly said This is useless because the Freshman who belonged in the house felt it her duty to get where she belonged —quick! This is the end. FRESHMEN HAVE BUSY SCHEDUL (cONTmiTED PROM PAGE ONE) need hats, gloves, and other civi ized nuisances. 7:30-9:30 Open house. Here’s yoi n chance not to get homesick.
