Mirrors of Washburn

Up, up, up in the peanut Gallery
the Washburn student sat. and from
that elevated station looked down on
the play abraham Lincoln" Be
tween episodes we discussed the
merits of the play and ate chocolate
peppermints. 1t was after o'clock,
and dark, when the matinee was over,
and we missed our dinner, but no one
minded, for maybe we will forget that
it was lice cream night" but who will
ever forget that he has seen Frank
McGlynn play the part of Americas
greatest?
The tryouts for the washburn Draa
matte club will be held next Wednes-

Katherine and Margery received
boxes from home yesterday-so last
night we had a real spread. Myra
emptied the contents of a couple of
talcum powder cans up and down the
hall and all around our door to keep
the aroma of our forbidden coffee
from floating down to the ever-sus-
pecting nostrils of the matron. But
Mrs. Billings has an awful cold. of
which we were unaware, and can't
have saved her time and talcum.
Mary Eleanor met with a sad acct
dent while getting ready for the Phi
Delt party the other night. She was
