Here tis Friday and the literary so-
ciety reverberations have ail quieted
down, Several of the lit gals strode
around Tuesday to give us the old
horselaugh, which was quite amusing
We hud a little private holselaugh on
the side on our own account. If you
were very smart and looked again you
could easily sec why.
We hate to do this, but we an-
nounced that we would publish the
mime of the freshman who was check-
ing ofil the football players "not defi-
nitely hooked by rumor or fact with
the publication box in B Thresher
oface, 104 A. a
ANGELA probably thought that we
had forgotten her, but I couldn't for-
get anybody who keeps people waiting
so long. And now comes the payoff.
HARRIET NEIKERY couldn't un-
derstand the reference to her in last
week's column. If you still ain't found
out H., how are you and did you like
the Bice Boom this summer. Ran
Wilde was (fill it in yourself).
FLASH TO STUFF: Since the kidd-
ing BROUS has been receiving he has
gotten both nonchalant and debonair.
