You sophomore co-eds who have
taken a back seat since the arrival of
the surprise package of new man-
hookers might be interested in know-
ing just who is stealing your thunder.
Beyond a doubt the most dangerous
are: SARAH TITTLE, DOROTHY

JANE HALE, MARY GRAY ADAMS,
and MARY ELLEN FLICK.
Quite a flurry of excitiment result-
ed as a rumor spread round the cam-
pus that a Dutch Club had been or-
ganized. Here's the dope. Four as-
piring collegiates conceived the idea
of bringing 20 of the most charming
freshman girls to the next Tuesday
afternoon dance, under the condition
that the co-eds pay their own way.
In fact, next Tuesday you'll see a sign
to that effect at the admission table.

a comeback this year, doewt hop much
Saturday Nights, but at the Tea Dance
he really puts everything into the
spirit of dance,
Which reminds me that BILL WAL-
LACE, another comebacker, was seen
just as the dance was breaking up.
And was he decked out? My, my.
FRANKLIN JONES, the arrow col-
lar sophomore, agreed to go steady
with a certain young lady Monday
night. The very next day we find him
trying to date MARJORIE ARCHER,
| lil' high school kid.
The hurricane that wrecked Tam-
pico has nothing on the DOROTHY
WEISER who wrecked Rice Institute.
The bright-eyed daughter of our dean
certainly monopolized the stag line last
Saturday night. Butt tike it from me,
boys, the old man doesn't fall for that
stuff... b
\Vho will be kind enough to inform
DOROTHY QU1N that the Paris Fol-
lies is not strictly a burlesque?
GORDON NICHOLSON is running a
taxi service for the purposeof taking
tired girls home from the Institute.
Sorry, girls, but SARAH TITTLE is his
only passenger. SARAH, you know, is
the young lady that sings at our Sat-
urday night dances when Marjorie
Boyd gives the word.
Every now and then, something hap-
pens in the Engineering Department.
In the limelight this week we have
Harry Lansberg, once bashful, blushing
youth, making his official bow to so-
ciety at the Saturday night, affair. Well,
can you PIPE that?
It's really amusing the wriy NANCY
ESTILL and GRAFTON CALHOUN
fight to get a seat next to HARRY
WITT who doesn't seem to know either
of them.
BILLIE BURKE, who likes to have
at least three on the string all the
time, has visited GRACE JOHNSON
almost every night this week. We un-
derstand/however, that MARY ELLEN
FLICK doesn't mind at all.
The big noise you heard in the
grandstand: last Saturdav was WIL-
LIAM POWELL and WALTER PES-
TELL, GEORGE ALLEN, new rah-
rah ,,boy, got quite a cheer from these
boys. It was, however, of the Bronx
varietv '
KNOX" BANNER say# tit?!I he en-
joyed the Freshman Reception very
much. I hear that the! girls thought
that be was among .the foremost, of
the lions that afternoon.
Wonder what happened to little
CiERALDINE COLE, the torch singer
who used to make the stags leave the
stag , line last year, since, PAT QUIN
went, into a white: jacket? , '
JOHN DORE just couldn't make
REGINA .MEYERS believe that sweet
little something at the hop last Sat-
urday night.
In case you hadn't inoticed it LITTLE
JOE KOCUREK landed a job, and is
little seen around the Institute any
more. But the GASSER goes on for-
ever, though JOE has "washed his
hands" of it. Also, forgive me for
trying to pinch hit.
