I, MAIN HALL, OBJECT
In the last year and a half I have
been quite proud of my new trim
mings that were given to me, we
are such lovely tables, chairs, drapes,
paintings, lamps, books, clocks, and
dozens of others, but there are cer
tain young ladies who wish to use niy
tables, benches and chairs to stack
their books, papers, hats, and coats
on when there are scores of clasS'
rooms in which I’d love to have the
books and possession of the girls
when they are on their way to chapel,
across the street, and many other
places during the day.
As Main Hall I demand more re
spect for my lovely new clothes, and
I warn you all once again to heed
my words, because I fear that in the
future I will be forced to confiscate
everything I find scattered about on
my tables and keep them until you
have paid the small fine that I will
charge you!

college girls modeling the dresses
they make, little girls from three to
six years old modeled the children’s
dresses made by the sewing class
last semester. The stage was appro

platform on which the tiny models
walked. None of them were the
least self-conscious, and some of

rhymes that were played. Each
model come out holding the hand of
the girl who made the dress, and
then they all came out together.

Talents, ’ ’ quoting from the Bible the
parable concerning the talents.

use all of our talents, and try to
develop minor talents. If we do not
use these talents, they really dis
appear. Dr. Haupert illustrated thigi
point by the example of the little
boy who played the violin, but
when his big chance came he failed
because he had not practiced. Wo
may call our greatest talent “Man’s
potentiality of becoming acquainted
with God.” Every one has this tal
ent, and it is the most powerful.

Darwin, which told how he regretted
not taking advantage of daily op^
portunities. Dr. Haupert said that we
should grasp every opportunity to.
make use of our talents at hand.
