A CALL TO ARMS

In this modern day of armed inter
vention, oil wells, and Chinese pig
tails Akkie and I got our call to
arms.
It happened this way. The
other day I and Akkie, having decid
ed to cut our fourth hour class (the
pangs of hunger becoming too great
in spite of the torch of culture which
ever burns steadily before our eyes,
especially Akkie's) tottered into the
campus bookstore (Akkie did, not I.
My goodness, I walked squarely on the
bottom of my feet as one should in
ground grippers) to get one of those
chewy things which get your tongue
all twisted around your teeth, called
"O Henry." Akkie, being dutiful as
well as popular, that combination always being found together, looked in
our mail boxes to se what weekly
news the university had mailed to its
beloved students this time.
Well, we found out! I turned round
and saw Akkie nearly fainting (ashen
grey, green, and white, that's fainting, ain't it?) and she wasn't
The reason that I knew she
was really in a faint was 'cause there
was no male in the book store at the
time,, as far as human eyes could
see. As I rushed to grab her prostrate form (ain't that literary excellency for you? These English majors
will be jealous of my style) she weakly held up a lil' white card which contained the ominous words, "Will you
please report at the dean of women's
office at your earliest convenience?"
To think what one little white card
can do! I never understood the history prof 'when he .said nations went
to war. over a scrap of paper but I
sure do now. The only thing about
this being me and Akkfe were too
weak to go to war over it or the
dean's office either.
Yes sir, we wuz sick in bed for two
whole days. The doctor called it bil- g!

liousness .but it wuzn't nothing but
green-eye- d
fear. Akkie'd look over at
me and say, "Ikkie, I've been a good
lil' girl all the year and kept every
rule. Why, I haven't even got in a
car when the shades of even fell, and
I made a big enough standing to stay
in school. How could it wuz?"
"We, I know I haven't did a thing
wrong but Oh, I know, I wuzn't jit
the last convocation."
"Now, aren't you ashamed of yourself," sez Akkie. "Never did I hear
of anything as naughty, being absent
from one convocation."
Suddenly, I wuz taken over with a
very severe chill. After the trembling of my members ceased, an idea
came. "Akkie, you been to Kosiland
one night."
"Yes, sir, but that was before I
knew you shouldn't."
Sad but true, gradually ourstrength returned and we learned to
stand on our feet once more, and the
day dawned when we answered the
fatal summons.
"I can face any mode of attack,"
sez Akkie, "even the worst."
As fer me, I kept repeatin' over and
over again (being cultural) "I am
master of my fate, the captain of my
soul. Master of my soul, captain of
my fate captain, master, soul. Oh,
heck!"
The day of judgment surely had
come. We wuz settin' in the dean's
