1890

Not having heard from any of his classmates, your Secretary is forced to tell of anexperience he had. We always get a chucklewhen we read about the other fellow slippingon a banana peel, or falling in the bath tub,but when your Secretary fell in the bath tuba few weeks ago and broke a rib it wasn'tfunny. In addition, one of those virus sneakedin, but worse than these was when it cametime to take off the tape which bound hisbody. There are two schools of thought abouttape-removing. One is to use ether and remove it gradually; the other is to get a goodgrip and give one good yank. They are equallypainful.

Speaking of laughs, I heard Grandpa talking with a reporter who was interviewing him for a story for Decoration Day.

"Were you at the battle of Cedar Creek?"

"Yes Sir."

"Did you run?"

"Did I run? By God, if I hadn't a run, I wouldn't be here today."
