THE CORRIDORS.
Only two silly Sophomores.
Only two harmless cranks,
Who quarrel in all their classes,
And together play sweet little pranks.
They carry red pepper and think,
The same as the Mickies of yore,
It is bright to break into a ball room
And scatter it over the floor.
But still there is hope for these darlings;
Their minds may yet hang by a thread,
That if tenderly nourished and strengthened,
May sustain the weight of such lead.

—The I. C.s had a "grub meeting," Halloween, at the residence of Miss Carlie Cockins. Rushmer's Cornet band favored them with a serenade. By this gathering the destruction of the sidewalks is satisfactorily accounted for.

-It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of C. E. Blackshere, a student some years ago, October 27, at his home in Elmdale, Kansas. After an illness of three weeks with typhoid fever, he was seized by an attack of blood-poisoning which was the immediate cause of his death. While here he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact, and was distinguished for his energy, cheerfulness and kind heart. He was but twenty-five years old, and gave promise of a most honored manhood.
Last Tuesday evening the Junior class held their class party and reception at the home of G. M. Walker. There were about fifteen couples, all bent on having a good time and they certainly succeeded. The evening was pleasantly spent in dancing and other amusements, which only Juniors know how to "do up" in style. Supper was then announced and to say it was one of Harris' best is commendation enough. Dancing and conversation were then resumed until the hour of two, all too soon, gave warning that the evening's enjoyment must sometime close. The party was a success in every particular, and reflects great credit to '85.
The class of '85 met at the house of G.M. Walker last Thursday evening to enjoy an elegant class party. The arrangements were excellent and a most delightful time was had. The class is small but is noted for its prominence in every direction.
