A CHEMICAL PSALM
Mr. White is my teacher. I shall
not pass. He causeth me to explain
hard problems and exposeth my
ignorance before the whole class.
He maketh me write equations for
my grade’s sake. Yea, though I
study until midnight, I shall gain no
knowledge for symbols and formulas
sorely trouble me.
He. prepareth a test for me in the
chemistry lab.
He giveth me a low grade; my sor-
row runneth over.
Surely sorrow and distress shall
follow me all the days of my life and
I shall dwell in the chemistry class
forever.
Stranger: “How are you getting
along with your opera house?”
Opera House Manager: “Fine, we
turned away a crowd of people last
night.”
Stranger: “I don’t believe you.”
O. H. M.: “We did. We turned 17
away. The actors said there was no
use of burning electric lights for
seventeen people.”
Old Gentleman (in street car):
"Has anyone dropped a roll of bills
with a rubber band around them?”
“Sure, I have,” said everyone in
the car.
Well, I’ve just found the rubber
band,” said the old man calmly.

ANNUAL DEBATE FRIDAY NIGHT
THE RIGHT IDEA
The minister was giving a talk on
kindness. "And do you know,” he
said. “I actually once heard of a boy
so cruel that he cut off a cat’s tail?
Can anyone give me a quotation from
the Bible that tells how wrong it is
to do a thing like that?”
One little fellow was called upon
and, whatever verse the clergyman
had in mind he forgot it completely
when the little fellow quoted:
“What, therefore, God hath joined
together, let no man put asunder.’
"Why do you use paint?” asked the
violinist of his daughter.

last few weeks, and listening to the
speeches delivered to empty seats m
the chapel, cannot see any difference
between the two teams, and it would
he just a toss-up with a stranger to
decide whicn team was the most ex-
perienced. McDonald was on the
winning team in an intersociety de-
bate one year, and we all know that
Buddy has spoken the last word in
many informal discussions held on
the campus—and elsewhere.
Year before last, as has already
been mentioned, Normal won a
double victory, the first in several
years. This year is a good time to
repeat. We believe we have debaters
that are better than anything Denton
or Commerce has. and with support
from the student body to fit the oc-
casion, they can no help but go into
the f:ght with renewed vigor and
inspire ion and ring up a double
victory.

REPLY TO THE CHALLENGE OF
THE CHAUTAUQUA
(Continued from page 1)
speaking, and debating, under the
conditions that we, the Harris-Blair
Society should accept all or NONE of
the above named contests. Striving
lo maintain our identity as a literary
society, not as an athletic organiza-
tion and trying to conform to our
preamble, which is a statment of our
purposes in organization, we de-
clined all the athletic contests, but
replied that we should gladly accept
a challenge concerning any phase of
literary activity. In this manner,
the challenge of the Chautauqua to
the Harris-Blair Literary Society was
not accepted, but automatically re-
jected by the very terms of the
challenge itself. Hence the Harris-
Blair Society was forced to challenge
the Chautauquans for the intei-
society debate which is regularly held
near the close of the Spring Term.
