Prof Alarms Sleepy Students
With Original Literary Work
A sea o£ blank faces. 'Monday
morning, 8 o’clock. What could
one expect? A conglomeration of
drooping eyelids, dr awn-in cheeks,
suppressing yawns, and glassy
gazes had their effect upon the
Professor Lin Cutler, conducting
a comp A class in Sparks. Six
students were writing the day’s
assignment on the boards with
slow chalk marks. He glanced
from them to the rest of the class
sitting motionless in their seats,
then resolved to do something
about it.
(Turning to a vacant blackboard,
ihe picked up a piece of chalk and
wrote swift lines:
“M-m-m-m-m.
"What have you done to me,
■Drugged me with kisses'?
Never such ecstasy
. Sudden as this is!
"Who cares for the why of it?
Don’t stop to quiz me!
Don’t care if I die of it,
Just kiss me! and kiss me!”

Here and there students straigh
tened in their chairs! Smiles tip
toed to the corners of a few
mouths and undecidedly tiptoed
back off.
Unknown to those students, that
poem was written by the profes
sor and was printed in “Holland’s”
magazine last year. The profes
sor turned to his class.
“Well; what do you think of it?”
A fellow in the back of the room
shoved his hands into his pockets.
"I think that’s silly!”
“You do?’ said the professor.
“Well, then, you’ve never been
kissed!”
' By this time the last sleepy eye
opened wide. The class howled!
Latest reports have it that the
student who thought the poem
was silly has been suffiently ad
monished. He cap. be found over
at Atherton every night trying to
find someone to help him remedy
the situation.

Coeds Behind Closed Doo
Find Traitor Among Them
“Help!” The plaintive cry float
ed down the deserted hall. “Help!”
The cry came again from behind
the stout wooden door.
There was no response, and the
three girls trapped in the room
looked at each other hopelessly.
They paced up and down. They
beat on the door, but it was no
use. They were trapped!
They began to think of the
things they’d never see again or
enjoy. The more they thought, the
more desper'ate they became.
Then someone had a bright idea,
“Who looked us in here? Who
“Who locked us in here? Who
We all know that the lock is
•broken, and we can’t turn the
knob from either side. Who is the
culprit?” Two of them pointed
their fingers at the third, who was
just disappearing under the bed.
“Just think of all the bluebooks,
reports, and classes we’ll be miss
ing,” wailed one. The other joined
in,..“'And I have a date!”
Then, in the throes of acute
claustrophobia, they took a nail
file from ; the drawer. The sharp
point glittered as one •of them
dragged the third, out from under
the bed. Just as .they were about
•to - murder the cowering culprit,
a knock came at the door.. • ••. -
. The murder was forgotten, and
.the three of them scrambled for
the' door. Outside their rescuer

crowbar. There was a small click,
and the door swung open. Three
Jordan Hall coeds rushed out into
the freedom of the hall.
Does this sound fantastic? I'll
isn’t; it’s an inside story. I wau
inside! .
