And of. the Table -.Round, bowed down his head And furrowed his calm brow.- Then close t him, And in her lawful, place at his right hand, There should you see the peerless Guenevere, As in those first enchanting, wonder- ous hours Of new-born , love for brave Sir Lancelot . She met the scornful world with face as calm And. mind, serene and placid -as yon pool,., . v.

But- if his ' hero niu'sed. then Gareth dreamed' " (With one eye ever vigilant that he Might be in readiness if Kay called him To perform his hated kitchen labor) And dreaming saw, : or-thoughr he saw, a .day, When all the'-world should know, his prowess, too. Perhaps he even saw/ 'though in- \ distinct as mist The piquant, enchanting face of one Small and distracting maid?—Enough of dreams! j Realities are not evanescent,. And such is the coarse, florid face of Kay (With nose tip-tilted in a lasting sniff— An eloquent inquiry) Shattered are Dreams.. Sighing, Gareth hies him kitchen-ward.

He met Athletics and started to talk to hirrf about school work. Sudy didn't k>ve Athletics. He didn't go to the selided games to watch him, nor did He go to any of the athletic meet¬ings: He, thought they were all taboo. Athletics didirt'fove'"'Study; although vv4.s good in his class work, he p'refeired football, basketball and the like.- tudy and Athletics soon Started To argue about, which most represent¬ed the School Spirit. Bluffer, who had been watching the two, came up and joined the discussion, but Bluffer could not say rt'iucli, for he was con¬sidered nothing. Whenever Study had the upper hand, he was for Study, but as soon as Athletics had the upper hand he was for Athletics. ' Into the building came Freshman, a handsome, up-to-date fellow, and, stopped :'jiear.. the fellOws -ho >were arguing. Athletics turned away from Study and wents up -to Freshman. ; ,"Are you going to join me and go -out for the 'fodt ball?" asked Athletics. "I... don't; know," answered , -Fresh- mall. "It's best you" do7 for I'm the real school spirit!!" “You iP-re not."- cried Study inter-rupting,. "I'm the real school spirit." "Another heated argument, had started, and the two argued on. They didn't hear the bells ring for the passing^ of . classes, nor did ithey- see Experience, the principal, walk down* the -hall .and stop nearttfrem, Atllast after he understood the argument, he took Freshman'by the arm. '"Cpme with me, I'll tell you all about it," ,he said, leaving the others to. themselves, "School Spirit is '.rep¬resented by both of those fellows to¬gether, but' they think that only one can be right. . The jeal school spirit is, composed of hard §tudy, and work in class ahd boosting,; and. get-there in athletics. So do your best in both, Freshman, • and ' }^ou will have the real school spirit. Grant Chandler '25. ON LOCKERS AND MENTAL HOUSEKEEPING Lockers are supposed to be 'Jcoii-j veniences. Maybe they would be ifjjj we treated them right. The only use | I can find for my locker is to sling books, papers, "Literary Digests" S and old "Tigers" into it as I rush r from class fo class. This is hard ! on the lockejr and also on my tem- 1 want... to find-anything it necessitates an excavation "'winch'; usually delays my arrival in class several minutes. , . |-tj r>/ I keep my mental locker the" same way. Monday, I am given an as- signniehf for th'e following Friday. I promptly throw it on a shelf in my brain wherje it is almost con¬cealed by the thought that--, "Oh well, I won't need to worry until Friday anyway." Tuesday I add a few more ideas as to 'who will win the next football game and what I shall wear to the party "Saturday night. - Wednesday, I crowd in a few desires for a new dress and' perhaps a little in: teresting "gossip". "Thursday I add other ramblings to the already- large ]iile. By Friday the little assign¬ment is completely covered up; con¬sequently I am "not "well- prepared: All of which proves that I am a bad mental housekeeper. Therefore, I ;think it would" be a good" plan for me to clean both my locker,-and the shelves in my brain,-and having'ar¬rived at this conclusion " I believe T will clean my locker immediately,' before this 'thought gets covered "up or I lose my - key."
