The small boy that beat the tympani called forth our wonderment almost every time he took part ,in the tremendous ensemble. How did he learn to do it so accurately and so easily? Among the trombonists, strange to say, was one lone girl. How did she ever come to be interested in trombone playing? We couldn't identify any of our own high school instrumentalists.

Ot~cc mort, 0 me Edgar Guest, intimately known as Eddie. has written verses which he names "Philosophy." Like all his other verses they run along easily from start to finish, making no heavy demand on the reader's power of comprehenEddie Guest \ sion, and usually ex~ressing e v e r y-d a y on philo · soph'Y s o I u t i o n s of life's problems. It may be said without fear of contradiction that no versifier in the Middle West to-day is so popular as he, nor does any writer in the same territory make so strong an appeal to the hearts and heads of average men. This position he holds. is largely due to the fact that he speaks the language and share~ the thoughts and feelings of most of . h1s fellow men. In this piece of Philosophy he calls the reader's attention to the fact thatOld Socrates had much to say, He loved to play with words, He'd prove in a most solemn way That halves are more than thirds. And searching the unchanging truth He sat and talked away his youth. He talked away his middle-age, And died a poisoned wise old sage. And he continues in this strain for a couple of st:tnzas further, the up-shot being about a:; follows : Tho words may have a sweeter ~ound, · Whene'er I hear the hammers pound I know with every blow that rings That men are busy doing things. Very apparently Eddie does not care much for philosophizing. And just as apparently he cares very much for doingdriving nails, sowing seeds, building roads. We suppose that his dislike of talking and his liking of doing rests on the fact that the results of talking are not easily visible while the results of doing are visible even to a child or a man with only one eye. If Eddie is correct then even Eddie's own verses are worth nothing except what he gets for them in dollars and cents. But why take Eddie seriously? Have you ever seen an orchestra made up of over 300 high school girls and boys play Wagner's Rienzi overture or Dvorak's New World Symphony? Play not like novices but like professionals?

The Domiaatiq Se:~: The Wonien of Rotary, having recently been invited to be guests at the Chicago club took advantage of their generous, not to mention solicitous husbands by dispatching the following startling notice to prospective guests somewhat as follows: "We want to make this epistle ttrletlJ' confidential to be sure it gets noised about! The Masterly Males nn the Program Committee of the Chicago Rotary Club have turned over their Tuesday luncheon, April 24th, to us and have asked us to put on a Feministor as they have dubbed It-a Self-Expression Day. "Accordingly, we have already eliminated every specimen of the fictitious "Stronger Sex" from the program an~ will proceed to show that we could not be bluffed. Every place on the Tuesday luncheon program usually taken by Homo Sapiens (please do not abbreviate) will be taken care of by Mere Woman. It Is to be Our Day! He had his "ShowU¥, !"
