of the league. She and Miss Margaret Wingeard, also a forward, are two
speedy players, who have annexed many field goals for their team and
against their opponents.
Miss Evelyn Speakman is a very capable center and bids fair to make the
varsity next year. She secures the jump on most of her opponents and Is fast
on her feet.
The Misses Miriam Keiser and Gertrude Gilger are the two classy guards
of the team, who, through their clever guarding of the opposing forwards,
have been a great help in their team's success.
To Miss Alice Schwab, the worthy substitute. Coach McCord gives Hie
credit of being the best all-around player and substitute in the league.

Travelers in desert lands carry wa

The Right Not to Laugh
If one were to accuse you of pois
oning your grandmother you would
presumably smile In unruffled fash
ion and go about your affairs without
feeling any burden of accusation. But
if one accused you of lacking a sense
of humor, you would flrse of all, resent
it indlgnently; and furthermore, for
an indeflnate time to come you would
be conscious of a desire to disprove the
charge, scrutinizing anxiously every
phase that might conceal some subtle
hidden test, emitting now and then,
forced laughs, on suspicion. Perhaps
You boast your epiaJieijiaUov
