ing Paradise, where l want so much
to be. One more trip beyond Ne
braska and I'll be a professional
Westerner" Life in Cody seems to
be just n e camp ground after
another. This is the third 1 have
heard of since I camped there. Is
everyone in town living in a tent?
We'd love to come to you next
summer, barring He'll, high water,
and editors land thank you heaps
for wanting us. And give my love
to the roughnecks and look scorn-
fully for me at the biblebacks."
Mr.. Van De Water, is the young

some one calls them. He is the
grandson of Marion Harland, widely

Two frogs fell into a deep cream
bowl,
One was an optimistic soul;
But the other took the gloomy
view.
I'VE shall drown" he cried, with
out more ado.
So with a last d%espairing cry
He flung up his legs and said
Goodbye"
Quote the other frog with a merry
grin,
81 can't get out but 1 won't give in.
I'll just swim around till my
strength is spent,
Then 1 will die the more content
Bravely he swan till it would seem
His struggles began to churn the
cream.
On the top of the butter at last
he stopped,
And out of the bowl he gaily hop
ped.
What of the moral? IT'S easily
found:
If you can't hop out, keep swim
ming around.

columns of the Bronc but we can
not refrain from remarking that
Figures" are surely interesting.
The way some folks are getting
acquainted with the alphabet all
over again and learning that the
first letter is A is amusing.
Seems like one small letter can
spell a lot of things on a persons
report card. Doesn't need anything
else but just "a" or "B" or &C"
not mentioning that "F" and our
friends call us Smart" or dumb"
We do, or do not play basketball,
our teachers smile at us or give
us that penetrating glance that re-
minds us of all our back work
long overdue and the promises we
made to them six weeks ago. Who
invented that alphabet didn't

LIVE AND LEARN"
A DAILY LESSON

Some of the students who are
trying to take a short cut through
Nchool, and hope to get through
with the least possible preparation
should remember this story of
President James A. Garfield.
When James A. Garfield was
president of Hiram College, a mar
brought up his son to be entered
as a student. He wanted the boy
to take a course shorter than the
regular one.
my son can never take all those
studies" said the father. HE wants
to get through more quickly. Can't
you arrange it for him?"
"Oh, yes" said Mr.. Garfield
H can take a short course; it all
depends or what you want to make
him. When God wants to make an
oak, he takes a hundred years, but
he takes only two months to make
a squash"

first place in the total average.
The Juniors are grinning for they
climbed from fourth to second place
in average. standing second place
in scholarship and attendance, and
third in department and few num-

The Seniors hold their own which

in scholarship, they ranked third
in department and attendance and
last in few number of tardies.
