ALL THAT THE SCREEN CAN GIVE!
Before.
There are meters of accent and meters
of tone,
But the best of all meters is to meet
’er alone.
After.
There are letters of accent and letters
of tone,
But the best of all letters is to let
’er alone. Kangaroo.

light a match and see how much gaso-

Tou will not find our best jokes in
the Star. Most of them walk about
the campus on two legs. (With apolo-

First Monkey: “What’s that standing
out there on the campus with his hair
parted in the middle, and sucking a
cane ?”
Second Monkey: “That’s a man.”
(Aside): “And just to think that
such a looking thing should have des-i

Ain’t Meaning Nothin’.

Bad. Dreams.
Big Kallina: “I sure had a bad dream

when I woke up half of my mattress
was gone.”

LETTER WRITTEN BY A
FRESHMAN IS FOUND
Saturday evening
At the dormitory.
Dear Ma:
Just a note before I go to bed. I am
well and hope all the family and you
are the same. Nearly all of the girls
have gone up to town to see the sights
but I must tell you, ma, if you go to
that town once you can see enough so
I never go anymore.
There is a class of boys and girls
up on the streets that people call the
jelly beans and flappers. Now I don’t
know the meaning of them expressions
but I do know what they look like. The
boys put vaseline on their hair, wear
sashes and navy pants and stand on the
streets isolating themselves to the so-
called flappers. Now these girls have
bobbed hair and it’s always frizzled
out. I think I’ve heard this fixin’
called marceled and they pay two or
three dollars for it. Their skirts are
short, usually very big plaids making
the girls appear to be as wide as they
long.
them. We, however, don’t have these
kind of boys and girls here in our
school. They are all sensible, none of
the girls here think of a girl marrying
before she is twenty-five or six and you
know* that is just my idea.
I must go to bed now. Write soon.
Tell everybody hello. Goodbye,
SADLY.
