'The Play's the Thing' but See the Crowd
A theater crowd is quite a study of human nature.
Just look at that young girl and boy a few rows in front of us. They can't be over seventeen. He looks a little ill-at-ease—wonder if it's his first date. That sleek pompadour is a work of art. Must have taken an hour or two before the mirror to get it in that shape.
Do you see that pair across the sides—the girl with the sleevee dancing dress of gold lace? Must be going somewhere to dance after the show's over. Theater's a little daughty for a dress like that. She's having a good time, though. Maybe she doesn't mind the cold.
That trio in back of us are having a good time. They laugh a lot. The little girl with the long curls must be the niece of the man and woman. She should keep her entertained. Maybe she's visiting them for the holidays.
The ushers look bored. This is no treat to them—same old stuff every night.
Notice that party of three way down in front. The two young men are evidently entertaining Mother and they are about to discuss about it, and the young men themselves are having plenty of diversion. Do you see how they eye all the pretty girls that come down the aisle? Mother is looking the other way?
That crowd of six or eight extremely youthful persons over to the left seems to be having a great time. Must be high school youngsters. Must go up apart to enjoy teasing the girls more than they do watching the play.
Do you see that man and woman straight ahead? They must be around thirty-five. They're determined to enjoy the evening at any cost. Probably they got someone to take care of the children for them so they could have a real chance to celebrate.
There's one type missing in this audience—no he's over near the middle of the center section. He's the old bachelor who comes to the show by himself. All the others in the house seem to be in parties of two and three and four but he is quite alone. He doesn't appear to enjoy the show because more than the majority of people just knows the art of enjoying a play without showing that he's entertained.

SAMMY BEAVER
'What are the whistles blowin' for?' said Bracken, 'Gorilla-leads.'
"To start exams, to start exams," the Upper- Classman, said.
"What makes you look so scared, so scared?" said. Freshman-Green-Jade.

The classes are in session—he isn't so today.
They're shootin' questions at him that would
surprise him with hue twist.

An' they're funkin' Sammy Beaver in the mornin'.
"What makes the front-rows look so sad?" said Freshman-Green-as-Jade.
"Exams are stiff, exams are stiff," the Upper Clausman said.
What makes the rear-reeks whisper so?"
said Frehmain-Green-as-Jade.
They're tryin' to crib, they're tryin' to crib,
The Upper-Classman said.
They are funkin' Sammy Beaver, for he didn't know his stuff.
He though that he could get by, and the teachers called his bluff;
The Dean he has decided that he doesn't know enough—
know enough so they're funkin' Sammy Beaver in the mornin'.

"E won't be sitin' there again," the Upper Classman said.
E 'won't be in town there again, the Upper Classman said.
'E's bought me cokes a score of times,'

For they're flunkin' Sammy Beaver in the mornin'.
Who's that *saitkin* to the Dean?" said Freshman Green-and-Jade.
It's Sammy trying to stay in school," the Upper-Classman said.
"What's that the Dean is sayin', now?" said Freshman-Green-as-Jade.
'E's tellin' him he'll have to go," the Upper-Classman said.
They are done with Sammy Beaver, an'
they will not let him stay.
He flunked in all his classes so they're sendin' him away.
Oh, the rest of us are worried an' we'll study hard today.
After funkin' Sammy Beaver in the mornin'

ANYBODY'S LAMENT
(Apologies to Joy Klimer
I think that there will never be
one who can stay with me.
One who used to play all day.
And be the graves of the gas.
But now whose diyey bend is light
From endless cramming through the night.
One who stares with fading hope
At borrowed notes on various dues.
Whose promises of better deeds,
D naught to fill the present needs.
F's are made for such as me Who cannot even make a D.

Finals Promote Sale of Coffee and Coke
"Coffee and Cokes! Why, we are selling twice as much as usual of both of them lately," said the proprietor of a restaurant popular with the students. "We have to stay open an hour later at nights, too," he added, "because the students want something to eat after they have been stoodry."
"Every night about 11 o'clock, we
jammed fullly," one man said. "The
student get coffee and sandwiches
can keep awake a few hours
onger."
"We have been selling lots more coffee lately," said the owner of mother eating house. "Some of the students bring up thermos bottles and all them up with coffee, so they can call it all night as they sleep."
"I coffee and cokes will only keep me going until that last quiz is over, then I can sleep all week," said Paul. "I think it seems to be the general opinion."
On investigating among the students, it was found that some of them are buying pulverized coffee that can be made by pouring hot water, and drinking that at intervals to keep their eyes open while they pour over those all too unfamiliar books.

The modern idea of married couples having merely a calling acquaintance with one another is not so new after all. A German expedition dug up tables in Assyria during the Middle Kingdom, who wife lived usually with her parents rather than with her husband. But her husband was not without highlights. If she continued in her modern methods and became a sector of his family, he would be a friend; his husband might hawfully kill her or at least cut off her ears.
"If coffee and cokes will only keep me going until that last quiz is over, then I can sleep all next week," said Rachel. "And it seems to be the general opinion."
