in the inter i est of science and there is noth i ing mysterious about it at all : most ol us associate this type ' of thing with voodoo of some ! kind and as dr leary remark i ed are rather skeptical about it ' the abnormal psychology class 1 which meets on tuesdays and i thursdays here on campus and 1 the evening session class hap pen to be studying hypnotism i and are fortunate enough to . have dr leary as their instruc i tor he believing that seeing is i believing and wishing to satis fy the healthy curiosity as well as the obvious scepticism of some of the members of his classes showed

girders and curious looking stuff that didn't seem to con tain the potentialities of a resi dence—a place for a student union student union even tlie phrase was foreign then now everyone registered in the university is acquainted with the building and pals ' with bob parke who has filled his position as director of nor ton hall so thoroughly that the fact that norton hall has not al ways been in existence is for gotten after the successful stunt night and mixer and the overwhelmingly fine dance bob's attitude was just the thing needed to keep up the feeling of at-homeness union programs continued with the outstanding event the farmers ball on which occasion all the fireplaces were lighted for the first time the old student union which has functioned for more than one semester yields

which is the loss of our seniors the most experienced and most tried of , our group in many cases the longest-known and best-liked of our pals there is a pang of re ' gret as well as a thrill of hap piness as we see our friends par ade in academic attire knowing that this ls the much dreamed of moment of their lives yet j conscious of the fact that never again will they be really one of us that these last few precious days will sound the knell of their student days and mark the grand beginning on the unchar tered sea of life it also means that we have all | advanced to the next class that we have no more freshmen caps to worry about not that we ever did and that within a very short time we are to be given an op portunity to reveal our extensive information to our professors there is no doubt that this per iod of stress is telling on us all no longer do the halls ring with the gay and hillarious laughter of youth no longer are smiling faces the usual thing on campus no longer are there vacant places in the library no longer is norton hall the bower of bliss it once was with the comprehensions staring us ln the face theses due and note books to be handed in there is little time for pleasure the gratifying thing about all this is that like this article it will soon be over and then there is a beautifully long summer ln which to recuperate as you probably know already there
