SENIOR RECEPTION TO THE GRADU-
ATES VERY AMUSING

We shudder to think what the Quiz
System might be: Petunia toga, Petunia
soap, Petunia quiz-book, behind a Petunia
screen, Nelson zealous in changing blot-
ters every five minutes, confiscation of
even pocket-handkerchiefs. The Seniors
showed us the graduates versed in mili-
tary discipline, marching up and down
the aisles with batons to the toot of a
hockey whistle.

Aida was effectivély rendered in the
stentorian tones of Helen Taft, assisted
by other operatic stars of 1915.

Rockefeller showed its local talent in
the heartrending skit, “Guido the Gim-
let of Ghent,” or “When Knighthood Was
in. Pod.”

the inner man of the peanut gallery was
satisfied.

SELF-GOVERNMENT TO RECONSIDER
RULE IN REGARD TO DRIVING
AFTER DARK

Romanze (from minor Concerto)



A meeting of the Self-Goverrment As-
sociation has been called for Thursday,
November 17th, at 1.30 p. m., at the re-
quest of ten members. The meeting is
to reconsider the rule which states that
students shall not ride or drive after
dark unchaperoned. This rule has up to
the present been interpreted literally, the
use of cabs to and from the station has
been the only exception permitted. . The
petition requests the association to
amend the rule. to read “that students
shall not-ride, drive or motor after dark
with men (not chauffeurs) unchaperoned,

girls.”
