For the sakC' of' tl10 eausc, and .,ith due apologies Lo 1,otb the college and possessors of' automobiles, let us, for this once, ('Onsidor our worthy templ<' of knowledge as a mere automobile. Of course this "auto" 1s the hest make in all the land. · What can be a more suitable name for it than, "The Little Climber"? For indeed it is now showing- itself as such. The engine and g;asoline of this machine may be represented h:, the trustees and finance of the college. Our worthy dean is the steering wheel; the faculty the regulator, and the president the ac– celerator; our past records may rightly he called the speedometer. And the rules and regulations of the college serve as the brakes. The student body as a whole makes up the body of this machine. The wheels \,·ith the puncture proqf tires are the prope1lors or the efforts put forth by the students to kee-p the body moving- on \owards suc– cess and wisdom. To t.11is machine ha!=: recently been added a huge , top in the forro of the summer school of "Nineteen hundred and :fif– teen." Our chauffeur is the greatest of virtues, "Love," brotherly love for one another, and for the hest interests of the collei~e and humanity in general. The two head lights of this "Little Climber" are the two literary societies ;the Philosophic and and the Phila– delphian. There was formerly a tail light in the form of the Criterior. society, which flickered iw•ay for a time but has finally becomf' ex– tinguished. These societies all have their places, but it is the Philo– sophic in which we are most interested. This society is kept 1;lowi.~1c;– by the best of material; the inexhaustiblP, supply of sparks of g"en– ius that radiate fr,om the mind of every member . Jt is the part of this machine which gives the student ·nody an insight into the finest arts of the world. It will ahvays bE' "a light unto theiT feet" in +-he years to come. Long may it shine-this head light of the "Little Climber"! SUMMER SCHOOL PICNIC. Doubtless the one event which brot the most pleasure to the greatest numher of students of Cedarville Summer School was the expedition undertaken 1:md carried ont on \Vednesday, July 14th. The day was one of tense and thrilling excitement. The fair "Fraulines," devotees of Summer School snorts, were mysteriously engaged in concocting wonderful picnic dain6es and the boys were just as zealous in sccurin~ means of t ransnortation for the crowd. At 5 p. m. all assembled nt the Main Hall 0f the "Universitv" and the exodus to Ferndale Park beg:1.n. Although the driver of the "jitney" attempted to wipe everything els" off t.he road in his head– long speed we all arrived safely, descended into the El:vrian Fields of Ferndale and while the older or more senate spread the feast by the rippling waters of the beautiful Little Miami, the more frivolous and carefree took "away to the woods' 1 with a hound and ran lightly over the picturesque cliffs and climbed the perilous trail that is, nobody
