APRIL FOOL
"ie every year comes the day
n we are all reminded that we are
so important to the world as we
Id like to imagine. "All Fools'
" was the expression first used
the beginning of the fourth month.
'e are all of us more or less fools
. certain ways. How ambitious
e we when we were children! A
of five wants to be a policeman; a
of seven thinks the cowboy the
,1; when he is twelve he would
to be a locomotive engineer.
nd when he grows up, he looks
k and sees how foolish were these
ams. The dream of the future
is out to be the common-place of
present, and the disillusion of the
t. What are we after all but pup-
, who are put here to play our lit-
part and then made to leave the
e forever!
re are all of us fools, with foolish
ams. Yet the dreams have their
pose. It is better to have foolish
ams than none at all.
pril Fools' day makes us look

t is better than looking back and
Jg what greater fools we might

The Guillotine
Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree
(As Longfellow Might Have
Written It Today)
A cornfed maid a job once got
Upon an August day,
Right in a bloomin' blacksmith shop,
Six-fifty was her pay.
Like Thor she swung the iron on
high,
The anvil nearly burst,
And 'cause her brawny arm was spry1
She soon acquired a thirst.
She saw a barrel standing by
And said, "That looks sublime,
I'll drink the Huron river dry,
One glass at a time."
CHORUS
In the shade of the old chestnut tree,
The horse flies are bothering me,
My brow's rather damp,
There's soot in my lamp,
It hurts like the dickens to see.
But there's Joy in this H20,
I am feeling my spirits grow,
For it tastes mighty fine to this poor
throat of mine,
,In the shade of the old chestnut tree.
Then the boss came ambling 'round
And saw the barrel dry
He threw a stare and gulped for air
And these words did he cry,
"You're fired, you're fired. Go 'way
and die.
My bankroll now is thin,
No wonder you were feeling dry,
My barrel was of gin."
Tears in her eyes then softly rose,
Her bosomn heaved a sigh,
And as she powdered up her nose
She made this here reply:
CHORUS
"I may be fat and homely, sir,
I also may be poor.
But I am pure and honest, sir,
Which you'll admit, I'm sure.
I think that you're a mean old thing
And may your life be curst,
To think a guy would can a girl
Because she had a thirst."

It Happened Yesterday
Our father slipped upon the ice,
Because he couldn't stand.
He saw the glorious stars and stripes,
We saw our fatherland.

WALK ON THE WALKS
One of the' peculiar traits of human
at.ure is that we usually want what
,e cannot have. Or we take what we
ave no right to, simply because of
hat fact. If we were given the right,
he chances are we wouldn't care to
ake It.
In walking across the campus, we
ometimes use the walks. Sometimes
we don't. We like to cut across the
rounds just because we ought not
o. If there were walks where now
here are but foot paths, we wouldn't
ise them, but would find some other
>lace to cross. Such is human nature.
The University is going to spend
thout $2,000 this year to improve the
ampus. It is planned to make Mich-
gan really beautiful. Lawns and
shrubs and flowers will add much to
he appearance of the campus.
But there is no use trying to beatu-
fy the grounds if students persist in
valking 'on the grass. There are
walks enough to take us wherever we
are to go. We don't save any time
by not using them. And we are only
Harming the lawns by walking all,
over them.
Let's walk on the walks.
Referring to the recent change in
ime, the Tribune has it that "Chica-
go steals time and gets away with it."
Oh well, this isn't the first time.
We all might make P. B. K. if they
