"Clean out of this, Hoyt!
Don't you know you are on the battery this morning?"
Our young hero is summarily jerked from his bed and given a
cold dash of water in the face.
"OOhh. O-u-, Gee. No I ain't.
Wassen and Smith are on for
this morning.
"Come on here; you and Smith have to throw flap-jacks this morning. Wassen has to boil spuds and make gravy for dinner."
"All right. Only I thought we were to have eggs this morning We voted yesterday to buy a dozen eggs; we have had pan-cakes ever since school started."
"Yes, but we voted to pay no more than 30 cents a dozen and they cost 32 cents. So you'll have to hike to the store for some pan cake flour and get me some break
fast. I've an 8 o'clock chemistry class."
The foregoing is a dialogue between two members of one of the co-operative boarding clubs conducted by students of the University. One man had turned a deaf ear to the call of the alarm and had slept an hour later than his schedule. Consequently breakfast had not been prepared. His fellow club members had organized an alarm brigade and hence the bucket of water in the face of the sleeping cook.
This particular club is being maintained at 1228 Rhode Island by the following men; Hugh Wassen, Homer Hoyt, John Suchy
Edward Lodge,Clarence Dimmitt and Edward Steele.
The men are doing their own cooking and each day two members are selected to prepare each meal. The steward by virtue if his work in keeping the larder full is immune from any of the batteries. The boys are all satisfied with the method they have chosen for obtaining their board and are living well on a weekly expense of $1.25. A "battery" consists of the men who are selected to prepare the next meal and those "on deck" follow the "battery." Wassen holds the honor of being the champion "gravymaker" of the club.
