The Rice Institute Choral Club has
started the Spring with a number of
new songs. The group has only had the
songs lor the past two Monday nltfht
meetings, both of which were very
well attended.
The new numbers introduced in-
clude: Vincent Youman's "Without a
Seng;" "Who Is Sylvia," by Shubert;
Nobel Cain's "Nocturne:" and two ne-
gro spirituals, "High Water," and the
popular, haunting 'Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot."
The club members have decided to
take two pages in the Campanile, on
which pictures of the officers and the
members will be presented.

"It's three dig words."
No bright answer.
"Well, Miss Myers, do you know?"'
Little Barbara promptly replied;
"Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny."
I She didn't even stutter.
I "Very good, Miss Myers. Now I'm

j Without hesitation, Barbara a n -

about girls being beautiful but dumb."
