found among the faii’ci* sex i>lay-
ers in this seasons popular game
—hockey.
Bruce Uore, iiasliy senior
star, has not been practicing
boxing but just had a little ac
cident during a snappy i^ractice.
Emily Miller, a promising
freshman player, is unrsiug a
bruised ankle while several
other members of the teani have
sore noses.
The moi'al: Don’t let a few
things like broken or bruised
limbs keep yoxi from going out
for hockey. Its all a matter of
‘•the survival of the fittest.” So
if you’re lit come out and we're
sure* you'll survive. And what’s
more you'll be a hei'oiiie, my

TAKE A HIKE
1[0A\’ do you spend your spare
minutes every day? Why not
take a liikel Now that the
weather has turned cooler, a
brisk walk is more fun and will
make you feel better than any
thing else you can do.
For the benefit of the new
girls, I might say that there are
just lots of uice places to go
for a walk. One especially that
I am sure everyone is acquainted
with by now is Allen’s pond.
This is only about a quarter of a
mile just back of Meredith and
has always been the favorite pic
nic ground for Heredith gii-is.
Mrs. Allen has been very kind
in alloM'ing us to spend our leis
ure hours in the beautiful woods
around her home.
“Take a walk every day for
an hour or two at the rate of
two or three miles an hour,” says
Dr. Carroll, “and you’ll find
there's no better exercise that
you can take.” Since -Aleredith
is so fortunate to have such a
wonderful location with so many
places to walk, let’s give it a
try and take a hike every day.

I’m feeling JcUtenish this xoeeh.
It may he Ihis crispy sun-lit weather
we've been having these days, and it
may he these moon-lit nights. At
any rate, I have been feeling quite
frisky and adventuresome this weeh
and have gone prying into all hinds
of queer places that I usually do not
risk getting into. (Of course yon
know that I always have to pay pe-
culiar attention to that very wise
remark, “Curiosity ViUed a cat.”)
But in case I should wander from my
tale, I snooping around one
night and I found myself in a place
called the Pub. Office. Several of
these human creatures were in a line.
Every now and then one of them
■would receire a few of paper
and- utter the siravgest sounds. A
.■ipenilative ex,j)ression toould appear
on their faces and’ they would seem
lo he struggling with sojnc deep emo-
lion. Then they would either clutch
the papers frantically lo them and
dash from the room, or else they
would hand them to some one with
them and nialce strange noises mtwh
resemhiing an over-grown purr.

looh as if I had been on a week's
spree." Another said, “If I look
like this I had better go jump in the
lake. (I have here suppressed a
strong desire to make a "catty” re
mark.) There were various remarks
passed upon the aesthetic qualities
revealed in their own features—
rather the lack of such. I have a
faint suspicion that remarks of the
same nature tvould not have been ap
preciated if made by their compan
ions. They (meaning the compan
ions) usually replied to such remarks
of disapproval loith long drawn ec
static cries of "Oh, it's go-ud!” Or
something that sounded like that. I
hare really been disturbed all the
rest of the week by these remarks.
These hxtjnans I ahoays find amus
ing but their actions this time were
positively disconcerling.
One thing that I said has made me
think a hit. Yon know that I told
you last time that I had lost six of my
tires and had to he very careful of
my remaining three. I have been
medilaling upon the time I lost my
first life. It was a bewildering ex-
perience. You see, I had never died
before. After the third time one be
comes rather used to it, though you
still have a feeling of suspense, for
you never can tell what it wilt be like
next time. But I must not become
philosophical. It always gives me a
wise ex2)ression that my friends think
supercillious.
Pardon me if this letter has been
what you insist on calling “catty.”
But, according to this modern pstj-
chology of which I sometimes hear a
little one 7nust not curb one’s in
stincts.
So yours till I can snoop around
and scratch up some more news.
