The Sophomores have again exer
cised a traditional right; to put the
PYeshmen in their places. “Baby
Week,” which extended from October
•tth to 8th, proved great fun for all
concerned, even tlie Freshmen, de-
S])ite the fact that the carrying of a
baby’s milk bottle does rather limit
one's social standing.
Many rules were posted on the
bulletin board and announced in
class meeting, which jiertained to
Freshman conduct. Chief among
them was the decree that “infants”
must appear at all times wearing
a white bahy bonnet with green rib
bons. A bright green bow at the
neck and green sox comjileted this
childish attire. Of course, it was un
derstood that finger-nail polish and
make-up did not belong on a girl of
such a tender age and that it was still
necessary for her to pull her books
around in a little box.
All talking to Sophomores had to
be carried on in baby talk as did the
conversation in the dining-room.
There were other regulations, also,
which governed dining-room eti
quette; such as the rule that all
food must be eaten either with a
spoon or the fingers, that napkins,
if supplied, be tied under the chin,
(if not siqiplied, a big or large
handkerchief was jiressed into use).
At lunch and dinner, P^reshmen were
to form lines on either side of the
door and sing nursery rhymes until
every one else had entered the dining
room.
But these rules and regulations
were but a part of the fun. On
Monday evening, a Baby Show pro
vided entertainment for the haughty
but well-pleased Sophs, and on
Wednesday morning during chapel
period the same tyjie of entertain
ment was enjoyed by the whole school.
The climax to Baby Week came
Wednesday night when all the Fresh
men were ushered into the Juvenile
Court. After this ordeal, all that
remained to do, was to restore good
feeling between tlie two classes.
This was very successfully done Fri
day afternoon, when the Sophomore
class entertained the Freshmen at
an Open House in the “Y" Hut.

Courtesy." She ex])ressed tlie (pial-
ities of a queenly and noble woman
as sim})licity, sympathy, sincerity,
serenity, and service.
Rev. E. K. McLarty, Jr., pastor of
the Big Springs Metliodist church,
sang on the same program.

WHY j-jummTnq Bird
REFUSES TO OFFER YOU “SKIMPY” HOSIERY
There’S no trick to making “bargain hosrary” by
knitting less than the standard number of courses in
the legs and feet. There’s no trick to stretching those
too-short legs and feet on the drying boards so that
they measure standard when you first see them. But
no one can knit sub-standard hosiery so that it will
STAY standard after you wash it. You are doomed to
disappointment when you risk “skimpy” hosiery. To
avoid disappointing you, Humming Bird knits every
style STANDARD PLUS. There are always extra
courses, extra silk and extra satisfaction for you. An
other reason why ....

Washington, D. C.—Notes at the
end of a Washington Summer . . .
During the hottest periods the
young folks went in for tall, cool
drinks during tlie week, and fled
the city on week-ends. LYually they
fled to Yirginia Beach, Atlantic City,
beaches along the Potomac in Tide
water Virginia or on Chespeake f^ay.
They came back hotter than ever,
exhausted, and in no mood for the
daily Government grind. A small
group, including the writer, went in
for verg tall drinks during the week,
and on the week-ends fled to the
chill interiors of local movie houses,
only emerging when the temjierature
dropped to 90 degrees and the as})halt
returned to a solid state. We knew
better than to leave the city. Scouts
had told us that in hot weather the
brass doorknobs of Atlantic City be
came just as mushy as they did in
Washington. (Prevarication by
courte.sy of Mark Twain).

Despite the drought, there was a
very good crop of straw votes which
had to be threshed over by the sages
of the Republican National Com
mittee and the Democratic National
Committee. The sages proved to their
own satisfaction that any given straw
vote figure could be interpreted as
a presage of defeat or a promise of
victory. The writer, after inter
viewing three citizens in a local
hotel, a street car conductor, and a
stflanger on Pennsylvania Avenue,
has come to the conclusion that tlie
election is in the bag for Thomas
Jefferson. Both Democrats and
Republicans were for him.
