Lots of things are funny after they're over. And mid-semesters are no exception. 'Course, the after-math is yet to come-yes, when the reports go home, my gentle readers!, or had you heard ? Anyway, there's quite a bit of en joyment in watching the other fel low get his quizzes back, especially freshmen; you know, just to see how they haven't been hardened to the cruel ways of these cruel professors of ours. Now take that 11s fresh man history class, for instance: the other morning those kids filed out of there with the saddest expressions on 'their faces. Most of them made just what they were afraid they would. 'Course, there were all kinds of "would-be" students (but aren't) who busted the quiz. One of the boys said he wasn't going to look at his until he could get home and into bed, so he could take it lying down; another said he was inclined to dis agree with his professor on several points (maybe 30 or so of them). Others said they knew they busted, anyhow, and it wasn't any use to worry. The "busters" may be classified under about three heads, perhaps: 1. the fellow that really puts out study ing, but just can't get it: you'd call him dumb, maybe; 2. the fellow that studied until the wee small hours, but just the same says "Hell, I didn't even crack a book. How could I pass?!" 3. The guy who's so busy being nice to his following of fem ininity that he just didn't have time to ciam at all. A "P.S." may be added to the last paragraph to the effect that there are also a few girls who flunk in a similar manner, but not as many as boys, though. However, there are not nearly as many girls at the Uni versity, according to one Noel Vil liams, who has statistics to that ef fect ! A last and smaller paragraph may be added about the few fortunate ones who make "A's". Some en vious ones call them "freaks", but if that's what they are, it's different, anyway, 'cause anyone can flunk, but can you make an "A"? ltuh? You think this story is a complete bust ? ? Well that's what I'm writing about, ain't it !??!

She was trained by Madame Fe lice deHorvath, instructor of violin at the University of South Carolina.
