All the senior co-eds and Gam brell have ordered caps size 7R for commencement. When it comes to loaning mon ey we heartily endorse the anti trust act. Some fellows study on the in stallment plan. Usually the in stallments fall due just before exams. Ram says that some one sat on his new straw hat and broke it, but, alas, the hat is in noworse condition than he is When buyiny your new suit, remember that a tailor bears out the meaning of his name, "tail or," when he tries to sell you. "UNWEPT, UNHONORED, UNSUNG." For the last time the pen of the present Gamecock staff is -bent. Whether we swam the smooth sea of Success or the dark ocean of Failure is for others to decide. Certain it is that our name will not go down in future history for what we hma dne here, for such is beyond our con fines. Ours is a smaller king dom whose history is forgotten with the last issue. If our suc cess bears a creditable ratio to the time devoted, then our la bors have not been in vain. We are thankful that THE GAMECOCK does not deal with love stories and poems as does The Carolinian, for we are not sufficiently imbued to drink of such sweet fountains. mere chronological order of facts is different. Our best wishes are extended to the new editor and his staff. May his GAMECOCK be a success, and when his work is over, may he not write, "We wouldn't take thousands for hav ingdone it, but it would take mil lions to get us to do it over again." The final word is a plea for better support of THE GAMECOCK by those students who are not members of the so cieties. More subscriptions will add to Lhe interest of THE GAMECOCK as well as to the fi nancial success. The work on THE GAMECOCK has been a pleasure to us. We have willingly sacrificed our studies to make a success. Our pleasure lay wrapped in the hope that our endeavors would be suc cessful. We can think of no more fitting words to say in closing than "Te amabamus." DRINKING FOUNTAINS The days are long, hot, and dry. The effects of the prohi bition movement are being felt, so we need plenty cool water to drink. Some of us spend severa, hours a day at Davis and Le Conte colleges without returning to our rooms. We do not have time to run over between classes, and consequently, we have to go thirsty all the day. Even if we had the time we do not feel like taking that walk. It certainly is not conducive to "health and happiness" to go athirsting all day. What we need is two bub ling fountains at Davis and Le Conte colleges and one at Flinn Hall. There are water mains in each of these buildings, and it would not take a great outlay of cash to install these fountains. We believe that the marshal would gladly place them. We must take into consideration the fact that about four hundred men visit these buildings every day, and water is just as much a ne cessity as is food. And just here we might add that a little ice would make many a cool drink. But whether it is cool or not, we trust that some provision will be made with in the next two or three weeks for the comfort of 511 students.
