Each guest was met in the hall by a member of the committee, and was given a card bearing his name, school and class. Receiving were the presidents of the associations, Miss Forest and Mr. Black, and the general secretaries, Miss Weiss and Mr. Pettit. Punch was served by members of the social committee.

SMILE!!
"God Smiled When He Put Humor into the Human Soul and Said—That is Good."
When my son John were nigh 18 sent 'im off to college.
I thor't 'twere time e' he should *git* some elevatin' knowledge.
Ole man Perkins said it were a foolish thing tew do;
But mother told him "Go to Grass!" an' ast him how he knew,
An' mended all John's duds an'
things an' kissed him goodbye
An' kissed me. too, an' laffed an
joked an' then began to cry.
When my son John were 22, hekem back home tew me.
He kissed both me an' mother an'
his eyes growed kinder dim
With a little roll of sheepskin,which he says were his A. B.
Ez he told us we could never know how much we'd done for him.
When ole man Perkins met 'im, he
iest sorter raised his nose
An' said he couldn't see no change except them dudish clothes.
The second day ez he'd been home
John met ole Perkins' brother
An' got intew a argument on some dern thing er other.
Perkins' brothers' six-foot-three, he called my John a pup—
Well, say, you'd orter seen that boy eat Perkins' brother up;
An' when I last 'im where he learnt to hit like the kick of a mule
He smiled an' sez he played guard on his football team at school
The summer John kem home from school crops were mighty bad.
An' int'rust on the mortgage took near every cent I had;
But John, he'd been the pitcher on his college baseball team.
An' when he heerd how I were fixed
he said he had a scheme
For pickin' up some extra coin. An' bless me, by the fall
He'l earned $100 clear for pitchin'
"summer ball."
RATES TO STUDENTS
Some fancy singer couldn t comean'
left 'jm in the lurch;
When Parson Dirkins give a show tew help repair the church,
So my John jest volunteered tew take the feller's place,
An' he made folks laugh until tears was swimmin' down their face;
Dudley Doolittle went to Topeka and Wichita Friday on business.
Franklin M. Farwell, E.E.'03, is located at Troy, Ohio. He is acting as electrician for the Hobart Electric Company.
For he could sing them funny songs better'n a minstrel show—
Heran' John just naturally got goin' round together,
He said he'd bear't 'em in his collegegee club two years ago,
When rich Peppy kem tew town
tew see Miss Merriwearther,
tew see Miss Merriwearther,
For John could sing dance an' spark
or talk good common sense.
An' a spike tail coat set on 'im jest like paint sets on a fence.

Our schoolmarm sez ez John is not a edgenced man.
Fred H. Ayres, arts '01, law '03, is at his home in Scandia.
She never heerd him speakin' French

But on what he knows he marries rich Miss Peppy in a week.
Do modern edgencation edgencate?
'Twist me an' you
There's many men ez sez it don't
but I sez: "It do!." —X.

Important Notice.
"To Students—Frat men es specialy."
The officials at the Lawrence Post Office announce their inability to decipher Greek letters. They have only been trying to unravel these most intricate signs for the past fifteen years, and have at last given up and honestly admitted that they can not. So "students, frat men especially," let us come to their rescue, and have our mail address in "good old English." If, however, time and trouble are to be saved, it might be advisable for the Lawrence High School to offer a course in Elementary Greek, open to Post masters and Post Office employees desiring to learn how to read Greek letters at sight.
