MONRONEY'S

Now Sallie Lee was a draftee's bride,

Whose husband off to war had hied .

He left her sitting all forlorn

Weeping weeps from night to morn.

But soon she tired of being drippy

Because her love was so conscripty.

And so she tried to find a way

To liven up each dreary day.

She figured costs of this and that-

A coat, a car, a Persian cat .

But these all seemed to add no cheer

To Sallie's house's atmosphere .

Then one fine day she had a thought,

And realized she really ought

Be thinking of her future home

When husband no more has to roam .

And so her heart turned light and gay

When she began to think that way.

She found it fun to shop for stuff

(Some of which went on the cuff)

To furnish a home for self and spouse

When he exchanges tent for house.

And so our heroine named Sal

Won victory for Home Morale,

And others too, most likely will

If they will visit Doc and Bill!

Chimes of Soonerland(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13)

crophone in the amplifying equipmentand the sound is broadcast throughout thecampus area and to a considerable distancebeyond .From 1 a. m. to 6 a. m. the chimes do

not ring at all . Beginning at 6 a. m.through the 13-hour period until 7 p. m.,the chimes sound only at the hour to co-incide with class hours. From 7 p. m.to 1 a. m., the chimes ring every quarter-hour.

Reaction of campus folk to the chimeshas been almost wholly favorable . Thegreatest rejoicing has been exhibited bythe quintet of operators in the power plantwho had the responsibility for tooting thewhistle on time . Lee Brown, Norman,power plant operator for some fifteenyears, holds the unique record of havingblown curfew more than any other oneman."What do I think of the new chimes?"

grins Mr. Brown. "Why, I like themfine . Anything to get rid of that whistle."Supervisor Shultz echoes Mr. Brown's sen-timents. "The whistle was a headache,"he states succinctly . The quintet of op-erators generally agree that they are heart-ily in favor of the chimes, not becausethey particularly like chimes, but be-cause it keeps them from having to re-member to blow the whistle. Perhaps ifall the seconds which the operators saveby not blowing the whistle were laid endto end it would run into several hours ina year's time . But, of course, the thingthey are relieved of is the necessity ofwatching the clock so religiously .

In the meantime, the old whistle stillhas not met with an ignominious end asmight be believed . Friends have con-cocted several schemes to use it to bestadvantage and save it from total oblivion .Some have suggested that it be employedas a local air raid warning signal . Anotherplan is to make it into watch charms,proceeds from which would go into a de-fense fund . A third suggestion is to meltit down and remold the metal into littlewhistles . At any rate, Walter W. Kraft,

superintendent of the University utilitiesdepartment, would like to see somethingpretty drastic done with the relic . Backin days past, Mr . Kraft discovered thatstudents love to blow a whistle to com-memorate some big event like winning theBig Six conference . And knowing stu-dent psychology, wary Mr . Kraft knowsthat if the old whistle is left around, itwill be tooting again one of these daysdespite the melodious chimes .
