Who’* going, to walk to townT
No Mercer man should ever have to
|trod the burning sidewalk* again,
{that is, if all passing autoist* will be
■s kind and.considerate toward a fel-
how and his. empty pocket book as one
likable sort of gentleman has been in
|the past.
James H. Gillespie, assistant super
intendent of the Grqat Atlantic and
c Tea Company of this city,
raciously curbed his truck in front
of Mercer campus in response to one
of the college yells, “Goin’ to town!”
crowd of Mercer studes piled in
the journey up College street and
own Cotton avenue to the thorough-
Ifare of Cherry. After gathering hi*
this humanitarian questioned
of the boys as to the number that
ad gotten on. When he said that
e were six taking advantage of
his hospitality, he figured for a min
kite and said, “This is 280 Mercer
Students I have ridden to town this
reek.”
Of course the boys, who heard this
overjoyed that' there was still
^livr at least one man With an altru-
aoul. Usually when the boys
«.vc completed their journey down
own via the generosity of some au-
oist, there is no need for them to
egister their appreciation with
sords, their faces' usually telling the
ale of; joy.

EXAMS! EXAMS!
AT BESSIE TIFT
What a world of terror they fore-
telll When the faculty, begins to look
into space and day dreams, when they
walk with eyes downcast and assume
a meditative air—look out! They are
searching their minds for “catchy”
questions.
When Mr. Alfriend lacks his custo
mary “grin,” lookB business like, the
exams schedule is next bn the pro-
gram. ,
This testing time is manifold in its
result and effects. The dust covered
bookcase and the unused pages pain
fully turned. Life and living seem to
lose their habitual charm. It seems
almost impossible to believe, that “ig
norance is bliss.” The teachers whom
hitherto you have allowed to trouble
you a little, now Seem as unsurmount-
able obstacles to your happiness and
peace of mind..
Your bed remains untouched the
entire week. Books hitherto unopened
show signs of devastation. Dark
rings, not conducive to beauty and
not results of plenty of sleep, circle
the eyes.
Then to the scene of battle you go,
A look at the questions! Then the
sad, bitter words, “She asked just
what I didn’t study .55
But oh! the worry of fate!
get your paper back marked
failure due to lack of study.” ■
inkind,” you cry, “how could she say
that when I studied a whole night?”
Earns! Exams! Those everlasting
exams! What a world of failures
they fulfill!

B. T. C. INFIRMARY
All the, girls admire Miss Crowe,
And to the infirmary often go.
For all their complaihg ills
She has a cure, those pesky pills.
It is a case of great turmoil
To swallow a dobe of castor oil,
But dear Miss Crowe, with .smile so
cheery, -
Says, “Come on now and take it;
dearie.”
Most Unfortunate Stude
In All Big World
One would hardly think .it possible
that a Mercer student failed to have
the time of. his life on Monday last.
However, the report comes in that
at least seven of Mercer’s sons “got
in Dutch” all the way 'round on the
anniversary of Mercer’s founding.
A certain member of the student
body journeyed out to the campus
Monday morning to see.what was go
ing on, when six other studes ap
proached him on the subject of a free
ride to the metropolis of Forsyth, a
city famous as the site of Bessie Tift
College.
The first lap of the journey was
made rather speedy down Cotton ave
nue in the direction of a filling sta
tion where the necessary “juice” was
to be procured for the trip.' That
famous plain clothes cap who hangs
out on that, particular avenue was on
the job. An invitation to recorder’s
court was issued by' this Well known
policeman.
Hard luck pervaded the very at
mosphere the entire day. Very nearly
half .of what’ V'as once a good auto
mobile was lost on the way up and a
broken drivq^shaft delayed the return
trip to the extent that the ole bus was
running several hours late for the
'royal banquet held on Mercer cam
pus as a climax. "
The owner of the linxed auto was
“all in”'the next day after'payihg «
substantial fine to help run the af
fairs of Macon. “Although the day
was totajly lost, to amusement, we at
least experienced a world of hard
luck,” remarked the unfortunate.-
CICERONIANS WIN GAME
It is a joy divine, exquisite
To have a roommate pay a visit, .
But then the call is all taboo
When your roommate has the “flu.”
Everything is still and quiet,
And all are on an eatless diet;
To lie and wait, a mournful tale
And then to find jrou have no mail.
One of the features of the celebra
tion of Founders’ Day at Mercer was
the basketball game between teams
representing the Phi Delta and Cice
ronian Literary Societies. The game
was played before a large crowd con
sisting chiefly of Mercer 'and Bessie
Tift students, and was won by the
Ciceronians by the score of 20 to 12.
The game was hard fought through
out, but the better team work and the
fighting spirit of the Ciceronians
brought them out on the big end of
the score. While the whole Cicero
nian team played good bail, West was
probably the outstanding star, with
Hearn leading a close second. For
the Phi Deltas, Cook was the out
standing star. •
And ther.e are certain hours you
know, '*
And if at other times you go,
Punishment* are then inflicted.
And we girls are sure restricted.
Teacher: “Some terrible things can
be caught from kissing.”
Bobby: “That’s the truth! You
ought to.sec the poor fish my sister
caught that way.” w
Then here's to the infirmary and Miss
Crowe,
For all ■ the girls do love them so.
They love them much: they love them
well, '
They love them more than words can
tell., r: ;
