John Lindeman announcing.
We have a new ball and bat now
and are surely making good use of
it. We split the old bat right down
the middle so that we had just a
slender stick left. It served the
purpose until a new one could be
obtained.
We have stepped Through the
Looking Glass" with Alice and are
seeing many queer things on the
other side. The funniest thing is
that if we want to get to particu
lar place we have to move away
from it and we will get there. If
we go toward it, we come back to
our starting place.
BY looking at our schoolroom
any one would surely know that
Easter is close at hand. We have
some of the cutest little chickens
and bunnies. It kept some of the
boys pretty busy at the incubator
to take care of the demand for so
many little chickens. There are all
sorts of Easter subjects in the bord
er at the front of the room. Most
seem to think that the borders at
the sides are prettier. We also
made some Easter lilies and roses
which we made to grow on pussy
willow stems. They look real nat
ural, from a distance. Most of US
seem to think that the bunny made
of pussy willows is the incest of
all.
In arithmetic class the other day,
Leo was asked to recite the liquid
measure table. lie seems to have
his own peculiar ideas about it
Here is the way it goes according
to him. Two pints equal one
quart; four quarts equal one gal
lon; thirty-one and one-half gallons
equal one barrel; sixty-three gal
Ions equal one hedgehog. Maybe
you can imagine how we had to
laugh.
The Easter rabbit was very much
in discussion. "My cousin said that
the Easter rabbit had brought
many eggs already" said Eleanor.
"She surely must believe in him
them" Janette replied. 'It was not
a she, it was he," Eleanor quickly
responded.
The eighth grade has finished
the study of Africa. The last we
had to write was story about it.
Wasn't it odd that every one started
out with this statement? africa is

Miss Steines. II did it?" Norbert
replied. It does sound a great deal
alike, doesn't it?
Tuesday we had our Easter party.
We surely had lots of fun. Miss
Steines first passed out gum. We
were very curious what might hap

not chew gum in school. Well, this
time it was all right. Then we had
the annual Easter egg hunt. My,

chasing around in search for the

They were expecting their eggs to

low as we could. Eleanor succeed

HEY should have put their girls

the consensus of opinion among
midshipmen at the Annapolis Naval
Academy in holding strictly private
nostmortens over the recent dismissal OF two
fellow cadets for smuggling girls into the mess
hall.

Then they fell in beside their escorts and

CYCLE. Even in that huge hall where $500 or
more may dine, the commOtion became SO con-
spicuous the duty officer decided to take walk
of inspection.
The girls were discovered and asked to leave.
The whole table was put under arrest. Myatt
and Burgn had to go TO the prison ship, RENE
Mercedes.
Here they worried about what their pun
ishment would be- just as midshipmen for
decades have worried aboard this old ship.
The Refine Mercedes is an old Spanish man-of-
which was taken by the American navy
during the war with Spain. Now 1t lies at
anchor just OF the naval reservation. Here
the enlisted sailors on duty at the academy
live, and there are prison quarters for the mid
shipmen.
Myatt and Burgin hoped that they should be
pardoned. For about two weeks they were held
in suspense Then came the news that they
mad been dropped for the good Of the service.
QEING discharged from the Naval Academy
is quite different from being dropped from
any other college. A formal gathering was
called. Myatt and Burgin listened while the
charges against them were read aloud. The
drums rolled. And then they were escorted to
the gate.
Back honHe-Myatt in Quincy, Mass. and
Burgn in st. Petersburg, Fla. the youths
don't know what they will do now. That lark
changed the whole course of their lives. Their
naval careers over. In some States they
will not even be allowed to vote because the
Navy dismissed them.
In ANNAPOLIS naval officials maintain aloof
silence. But every knows the two cadets
will be missed. They were good fellows and
they athletes. Myatt was on the soccer
team. Burgin boxed in the 135-pound class.
Meanwhile Annapolis bridge parties were
buzZing. This gossip stirred the young mems
gallantry anew. They publicly explained that
the girls had entered no other room in Bancroft
Hall-the cadets living quarters-except the
mess hall. They explained that they had taken
the uniforms down to a parked car near the
entrance and that the girls had slipped them

on their street clothes. Loudly the cadets
proclaimed that the gossip was unfair to the
young women.
Perhaps Myatt and Burgin would still be at
the academy If they had put their blond
friends under the table in the good old
fashioned way. And perhaps the girls would
today be boasting about their lark instead of
keeping an unbroken silence on the subject.
Eating under the table may not sound en-
ticing to you, but the best men in the Navy have
done it. It's all in midshipmans life. When
he's plebe, or freshman, he is apt to eat
great many of his meals under the table.
Sometimes an upper classman will order
him under the table TO finish his dinner just
because he helped himself first, instead OF watt
ing until all of his superiors had been served.
Again. it may be because the plebe didn't sing
nicely for the sugar-or because he couldn't
drink his milk with guIp.
For some reason or no reason q number of
cadets are always eating under the table. It's
