YESTERDAY (By BARTHUR RISBANE) Mr- Watson said that he recently sjnv a man slap a woman. Where, oh, where have you been, Gordon? *# # # From the odors issuing forth from the chemistry lab, we presume that thev have stepped into the field of bi ology and are dissecting skunks. . ** * * Mrs- Roberts says that she is going to do the “cracking’ ’ before chapel if her husband doesn’t leave off the wise-cracks. *# # * At the Hitch-hikers council, Jack Parker was accused of being late- He pleaded guilt}*- on the grounds of tem porary insanity on the advice of his lawyer, J. Radford Hamrick. So, you see, girls, J- R. H- gives other kinds cf counsel besides love-lorn advice. ** * # What’s wrong with these sentences? 1- The four freshman girls walked quietly to their places in the theatre, where they remained during the entire show* 2. Howell dismissed his class as soon ns the bell rung. 3. Weaver said, “You may sit on the table thi s time, but please don’t do it again.” 4- Otis said, “Ise too busy to fix yc ’all’s fire- ’ ’ 5- “Pat” said, “I never broke any thing in my life.” fi. The radiators were all acquies cent to their owners’ wishes and did not freeze. 7* West became angry when some rne called her “Mae-” 8. Broom was seen reading a copy of “Judge-” *# # # Tt is our hope that in the near fu ture all the unsatisfactory annual proofs may be placed on exhibition on the bulletin board for the enjoyment of student body. ** * * Tom Hardin in Health class—“ Heart failure is failure of the heart.” ** * * We wonder if the Major still tries to keep his smoke until after supper; at least, in his pocket? ** * * Dean Gunn in chapel —“lt has been a long time since I spent the night in a girls’ dormitory and I certainly enjoyed my visit-” ** * * One can hardly keep from wondering "hat alibi Mr- Strozier gave his mother for the scar of battle he brought in from the -week-end ** * * This snowy weather surely caused SOME fun. It seems that Platt, Col lett, and Johnson were arranging to ride on a sled to town but Platt was somewhat dubious- Collett, trying to allay his fears, said, “Take a chance. Columbus took a chance-” “Yeh. Well, here goes one of his sailors—”, said Platt, as he gently sailed off. ** * # Mamie says that she read in the pa per that one woman had cremated three husbands and here she can’t even got one, while other people have them to burn. * * * * I get all the knowledge of the campus in my meanderings, I wish to fell you that Little Dan Cupid has been here all the year, insltead of uniting for the Valentine season. Just ?ou glance around at a party and what do you see —? My eyes fail me, but hpforp they did, I saw G r ady and Elaine talking to Dickey and Made, children, what do you make of that? ** * • There is not a dearth of material for Tfl c, but if I continue, there will, alas, be a dearth of me- If your humble servant survives the punishment which •"ill succeed this revelation of W* G* Y secrets, he promises to give you an inside story of the West-Upshaw case time (that is, if he can secure enough data.)
