Although the actual appointing or election of the yell leader and his two assistants is left wholly to the student executive board each term, each member of the board is expected to govern his vote by the enthusiasm with which the assembled students greet and yell for each aplpicant as he is called up to lead them. In this way, only the most capable and also the most popular students are chosen to represent the school as yell lead ers at all games, meets, etc. throughout the year.

OLDEN TIMES RECALLED Commonplace Foods of Early Childhood Substituted. There was a time when you had a porch with honey-suckle on it, with lilacs at the gate. You took them for granted, you saw no special beauty in them everybody had them. Then came a day when you found yourself in a two by four apartment and the lilacs and honey suckle gone forever. There were many things you took for granted In those lilac and honey-suckle days. Butter was one of them. Everybody had butter, of course. You always buttered two biscuits while they were hot, you put In a big hunk when you broke open a mealy potato, and for snack spread It thick with brown sugar on a slice of bread. ' Soups were made tasty with butter: pie crust was rolled with It, and One-Two-Three-Four cake started with It. Butter, why, of course, how could you cook without butter? Then with the apartment came boarding-house days and cafeterias. You soon realized that nothing tasted the same; the food was flat; it lacked vim. The butter had a curious luster like 10-cent -store pearls. The boarders whispered margerine. You eyed it and greased your bread with just enough of it to make the bread slip down. And so butter, another common-place. like honeysuckle and lilacs, was gone from your life. Time was when a youngster you used to drink lots of milk, then somehow you lost the habit, as big boys do. "Aw," you would say, "put it In the biscuit and gravy and cake." It went in. too. Mother be lieved In plenty of milk in cooking and baking, and you got your share of milk. It put quality in food and quality was another one of those things you took for granted until you lost It. It seemed to go with the coming of oleo; but tbere was more to the story than just oleo. You wondered. The cream soups, creamed meats and custards all tasted the same and none of them tasted like real food. Then the limit was reached in a chocolate custard that seemed to be topped with whipped cream. You knew how the custard would taste. but surely whipped cream there was a curious flavor. It certainly wasn't cream. You knew it wasn't Mother always topped jelly with it and chocolate pie and just piled It on strawberry shortcake. What was the stuff anyhow, that whipped like cream and tasted like nothing? Then the secret came out. You picked up a trade recipe book thrown in at the door and recog nized the name on the cover as that on -a case of canned milk delivered to your landlady.' The little book was interesting reading. The thing that whipped was not milk but a compound of skimmed milk and co conut oil. The product was highly recommended for creamed soups, creamed vegetables, creamed meats, biscuits, gravy, cakes, even choco late and coffee. You knew that you had been eating things made with j ural creamy milk. And so milk passed from your life along with butter, and the only uestion that now remains to be setled is how long the mortal frame can stand being robbed of all the foods that have made It what it is. . i" " -t s -., if 'stX.
