MAY BE MORE THAN ONE
JENNA

Geneva Douglas, a University girl,
had finally received the l~ong-looked-
for letter from home. This letter pro-
missed to be very interesting, since 1t
was to explain her fathers plan for
their trip and to arrange matters for
her while they we're away. Mrs.
Douglas had been i'll for sometime.
the family physician had prescribed
might regain her former strength.
"Oh, l wish they'd wait until June
1st," sighed Geneva. IL s'pose they'll
have to leave as soon as they can get
ready. That's just my luck anyway.
I'd travel anywhere, just for a change
from this old life"
During this mournful discourse,
heard only by the March wind, the
envelope had been orr open and the
letter unfolded. 1t related very de-
tailed and interesting plans for a trip
to the Great Lakes, the very cenes
which Geneva had always longed to
visit. The shocking news was con-
tanned in the last paragraph, immedi-
ately preceding the usual closing
your loving father, ETC."
1t was stated thus: "Jemima will
arrive in Middleton Thursday noon,
your mother and / are away"
This seemed to Geneva absolutely
the saddest experience Of her gay
young life. An old crabby, rheuma-
tic aunt arriving the middle of March
to spoil her school life for an indie
finite period. Geneva roomed in a
private home, so there really was no
plausible excuse for refusing her
aunt.
The remaining time was spent in
canceling all previously made en-
|%gagements, setting bureau and ward
robe to rights, and making up for
lost time in a dozen ways.
Geneva was excused from last per-
Tod classes Thursday forenoon and
was waiting at the depot at the ap-
pointed time. In a few minutes the
train pulled on, but no Aunt Jemima
appeared. Geneva waited until the
last passenger had alighted, and then
decided to look through the coach,
thinking possibly the old maid had
gone to sleep and the brakeman had
failed to awake her. Her search was
lin vain.
ooh dear, l hope she's changed her
mind. but l most know she hasn't.
She wouldn't miss an opportunity to
boss me around for anything" unused
Geneva, and set off to school, still
bordering over these things.
About five o'clock she entered her
room, half expecting to find Aunt
Jemima comfortably settled in an easy
chair, snoozing over her knitting. In
stead of Aunt Jemima, she beheld her
beloved Angora cat, Jemima, walking
sedately about, inspecting all the fur
niture and shifting s~uspiciously at a
box which contained Geneva's mid
night lunch equipment.

its conquests and spread abroad its

takes and crimes. In an occasion Of
this nature II is not fitting and proper
to emphasize the faults Of n on

deeds and the loyal acts carried out.
the poets and the composers will
long sing the songs Of 1922, the brave,
the loyal, the trustworthy. It's name
shall become a symbol Of all that is
great in the face of Hi students.
Its r was a succession OF dan
gerous tasks accomplished, important
faculty orders obeyed and strong con-

ball and other athletic, and declama-
tory and oratorical contests.

saw him open the book and read
therein, and as he read he wept ano
.trembled. And not being able longer
to contain he broke out with a Ia
mentable cry, saying, What Shall l
do?" I went to him then and said
Wherefore dost thou cry?"
He answered "Sir, I perceive by
the book in my hand that I have
finally accomplished a great feat and
am overjoyed that | will soon be able
to leave this dreadful place"
Upon questioning him further he
told me the following story.
He told me that his name was Stu
dent and that he had started four
years before In search for a secret
path leading to the nall of fame, and
the light Of which could be seen shin
ing at the tor Of yonder mountain.
The only one knowing the way OF
this path a a person named Teach
er, and during his search he had been
aided several times by this person.
He had received instructions for the
journey at the wicket-gate. and lost
the burden 4 the foot OF the noun.
| tAin, however he went thru many
hardships and difficulties including
the Slough OF Despond and the River
of Examination with all its tributar'
les. But finally after four years Of
search he suddenly came to the hal
lof fame and as he lifted his eyes hi
beheld that II was a most magnificent
place and stood Just across the bridge
from the Palace OF Success.
