Four THE TWIG September 23, 1931 t f Freshman Breaks a freshman?” she “You queried. Surmising the inquirer with a hauglity toss of her head and a disdainful eye the young lady thus addressed replied, “Not on your life, greenhorn, I’m a senior, S-E-N-I-O-R, in case you don’t know how to spell it.” And giving her skirts a delicious little swish she walked away over the campus. The greenhorn groaned in wardly and flopped down on tlie gravel walky books and all. “Another break,” she siglied dis consolately, “another break which makes the hundreth, no, about the milliontli, pcriiaps nearer the billionth, oiie tliat I’ve made since I landed at this place called college.” And remaining where slie had fallen the greenhorn proceeded to relate lier experiences a 1j Samuel Johnson style affecting a mournful monotone, while to rae has fallen the task of beooui- ing a second .James Bosw'ell. “Well, upon my arrival the first day wlioni sliould I bum)) into (pardon the verb but every one seems to Hoat around here like so many atoms and electrons making a collision rather con ceivable) but the student govern ment president. Tall, her beauti ful teeth flashing, and her red lips and dusky eyes sparkling from their dark setting, I ])re- sumed tlmt the collcge autliorities had imported a Spanish senorita to entertain the new students as they arrived. Accordingly by way of greeting I said, “Adios,” that being the only word in my Spanisli vocabulary at niy com mand. “Adios,” echoed tlie supposocl- Iv Spanish senorita blankly. “Yes, adios,” replied I eager ly. “Aren’t you an imported Spanish senor-i-ta?” “No, I’m (tlie student govern ment president”), nnsnercd the Spanish senorita, and I meekly followed her tj mv jmutei‘s. A BREAK! Suddenly out of the hill canu* a fearful sound. Merciful heavens, was tiie collcge on fire? Rushing madly down the stairs —one flight, two flights, woukl I never reach the first floor—I ran headlong into a big, huxoni lady. “Where’s the Are? Water! Water! Here, help me tii dis integrate this fountain. Stop standing there so dumbly, you don’t w’ant the college to burn down or up, whichever it is, do you? And my first year, too!” “Tlie college burning, my dear? Why that’s only the gong for lunch; you have fifteen minutes yet before it is served. ANOTHER BREAK! launch time cariie and as I entered the dining hall the dietitian seized nu- and mar- dled me to a hihle at whicli a |ip of eldei'l'^l^adies were seated. “Hmn, beastly weather, isn’t it?” I remarked by way of begin ning a conversation. The lady to whom the remark was ad dressed turned to me, “Yes, I heard that you could buy water melons two for a nickel. I certainly would like to have an ice-cold one now.” Stupefied I slipped into my place wondering what relation that could possibly have to my inquiry. Never mind, probably a hallucination of the brain or simpler still brain fever. “Do you like to read?” I be gan again this time addressing mv remark to the lady seated at njy left, and who, in turn, answered, “I hope we have cJiocolate ice-cream for lunch to day for I do love it!” My iiead swinnning I finally blurted out, “Have any of the faculty of the nmsic department arrived, particularly Mr. Battin (incidentally I gave the “in” Hie Vrench nasal sound) ?” “Yes,” a resonant voice reached my ears, bounded on the drums and slowly filtered into my sawdust. “Yes, Mr. Batt—IN (wow, that hit unusually hard) has arrived and I, the head of the piano department, also.” While I was trying very un successfully not to disjjlay my discomfiture another voice fol lowed close on the proceeding, “I\Iy dear, may I introduce to you some of the members of the faculty? This is the librarian —I gave one look, tlie lady to my left! “And this is—.” (The voice trailed of}' into oblivion, the food lost its savoriness and tlie person called me waded into unconsciousness. ANOTHER BREAK And now only last evening, after being liere for almost a week, I was in the dining hall waiting on my tables (My, how one has to slip and slide to lill uj) those starving maniacs). During a spare moment I picked up a book lying near, “ifodern Conjtemporary Criticism.” After (azing fiirtiveiy around and find ing nobody looking, I peered ’neatli tiic covers and was lost to this mundane existence, “Hey, pst—t-t-t,” someone' called softly across the hall, but i failed utterly to rouse the book worm. “Hey, snap out of it and give us some food I” I ran to the poor little Arnien- ians, in the meantime my face had become crimson, and seized manfully the knives, forks, spoons, plates and glasses carry ing them to tlie side table. At last I returned triumphantly, to the table exclaiming, “Now, what will you have?” “Have?” chorused tlie oc cupants. “First of all, we would like to iiave something to eat out and with!” ONLY ANOTHER BREAKI But in the distance I see a spectre h)oming. It comes nearer; ah, it is I In S-E-N-I-O-R gar!) gazing piti fully and anmsedly at the fresh man as he breaks through new and green pastures to forage. And Samuel Johnson picked up her books and herself as well and wended her way to classes leaving poor James Boswell to record her remarks which has been done faithfully, truthfully (?).
