PASSING THROUGH PAGE HALL
On Friday morning at 11;00
o'clock students at State College
have on assembly in the Page Hall
cuditorium. The Milne Students dis-
turb them by yelling loudly and bang-
ing on the doors. This is very dis-
tracting ond unnecessary. «after all,
they have more right to be there than
we have since Page Hall is part of
State College. When we have assemblies
the college students try not to dis-
turb us» It won't hurt us to go
outside once a week. If it is very
cold we can wecr coats.
QUESTION BOX
Question; Should the Seniors come to
Junior High parties?
Betty Reudemann; No, because we can't
go to Senior High parties, so why
should they come to ours? Besides
they are so much older than we are.
Wilson Hume; Yes, because some people
have brothers and sisters in Senior
High, and can't come without them.
Gordon Robinson; No, because with the
Seniors and Juniors in the gym there
are too many.
Herbert Marx; Yes, beccuse they let us
come to their parties so they should
come to ours.
Rich.rd andrews; NO$ If it is a Junio
High Party it should be a Junior High
Party and not for Seniors, and if
there is te be both Juniors and Seniors
we should have a combined party.

LITTLE AUBREY WORM
Little Aubrey Worm lived with
his father and mother in a little worm
hole. Now you know that worms like
nice, sticky weather to go walking in.
One day, when it was raining Mamma
Worm went to the little wormhole
window and looked out.
"Oh, it's nice and sticky and
gooey out," she said, "Let's go for
a walk."
Papa Worm looked and he too
thought it was so nice out that they
should go for a walk.
Then little Aubrey Worm looked
out and said, "Oh, it is nice and
gocey and sticky out. Let’s all five
of us go for a walk."
Why did he say "all five" when
there were only three there? The
answer will be in next week.

COMPARISONS
About three million years ago
When Paris yet was new
Said Mrs. Itch to Mrs. Scratch
"My dear, ‘twill never do?
I've had this worn-out mammoth suit
For over two long years,
And now that sable coats are in
And springtime slowly nears,
Itll have to ask my hubby for
That gorgeous sable wrap
That I saw down on the Avenue
While Egbert took his nap.
Well, really, dear, I shouldn't stand
Here talking all the while,
Goodbye!" So Mrs. Itch went on
Toward home with a smile.
When Hubby Itch came home that night
She said "How are you, dear?
How does the dinosaur run?
And does he stall in gear?
I tried to use him yeaterday,
But he ran out of fuel,
I wish we had a newer one,

Oh, sweet, I saw the dearest wrep!
It's sable and so cheap!
It only costs 200 knives,
And Mildred’s cost a heap."
"Well, wifie dear, I'll see if I
Can have it sent up soon."

THE MYSTERIES OF ENGLAND
(A Minute Novel Production)
The fog was so dense that you
could not detect the tall, slim figure
that drifted through the might. But
in a doorway stood an inspector from
Scotland Yard, his keen eyes on that
figure, This figure wore a long, bladk
overcoat, the collar turned up and an
old hat pulled down over his eyes. A
minute later a shrill scream pierced
the still night air. Ina flash the
inspector was on the spot! What a
Korrible sight met his eyes! There
on the floor of the butcher shop lay
Heinz with a cleaver in his head}
Five minutes later Inspector
Malone announced the finger prints on
the cleaver were the same as these of
Lord Greystoke, a distinguished
business man!
When the knocker was dropped
against the door of the Greystone
mansion, Wellington, the head butler,
answered. "Greystoke in?" demanded
the inspector. "Yes, sir, but he's
retired in his bedroom," wes the
butler's reply. “How long ago did he
&0 to bed?" asked Malone, "About
five hours ago," wes the roply. Malone
gave o suspecting look et Saunders,
the other ofiicer. "You liar!" he
roared at the butler, “He wes just
outdoors.’ "J beg pardon, sir, you
must be mistcken. Did you se. him?"
asked the butler. "No, but, but well
I'll ask the questions and you answer
them!" Mclone walked straight to
Greystoke's room (he hed been there
before) and looked in. There was Sir
Lord Greystoke, sound asleep! "This
beats me!" said Malone. “Let's take
& look in his lcboratory," Saunders
replied, The laboratory was a large
oak=paneled room, with thousands of
chemicals on shelves and mony other
things cround the room. "He's been
working on another big experiment lately,
hisn't he?" = i 23 aaa
