Little Pifflewiff, Sore Perplexed Spirit, Adopts Doctor
Westmeyer's Disutility and Unremuneration
Plan of Salary Basis Haunting.
i , 4
Once upon a time there were three little ghosts named Squoozy,
Woozv, and Pifflewiff. Squoozy and Woozy were good little ghosts,
but Pifllewifl was a practical joking little ghost who wouldn't pay
his income tax. Pifflewiff had been receiving the usual threatening
letters from Uncle Sam's T-Men, and sore perplexed was he concern-
ing what to .do'about it. Everyone knew that it had been a good
year in the ghosting business, but it was against Pifflewiff's principle
to pay for public haunting services,

Catastrophe of the escapade: ex-

stabbed the cactus back with a dagger
off the Spanish dagger plant.

L'mily Montgomery, reciting the
poem, "I shot an arrow in the air, t
hope it got in a fair lad's hair," opened
the Dramatic Club's usual weekly con-
clave Wednesday. They also discussed
the forthcoming production Shakes-
peare's "As You Like It Happened One
Night"
Martha Farmer followed Emily with
a vocal number, "Let us go a Maying,
for tomorrow may be too late," as she
handed out circulars saying, "Get in

piano, mors ;>:• less.
Following the program the boys ap-
peared laden with coffee and glazed
donuts fj'om the A. House kitchen, more
or less. After licking off the glaze, which
tasted pretty much like grease paint,
Mrs. Blake bit off one lunk and flow
to the kitchen to discover barrel of
powdered soap was missing.
Then all played games, which, as
usual, mean: building sets for the next
play Rita Gay furnished inspiration by
more or lass snake-trucking down the
row of work-tables. Meanwhile, Jane
Cox and Oilie Cordill started rehears-
ing, using the chandeliers as props for
the trapeze act.
John Barker announced, more or less;
that Dr. Weiser nad written out his
personal check covering cost of con-
struction of a new theater opposite the
Physics Amphitheatre to seat 3.313
people, more or less. The party broke up
then, everyone knowing that Dr. Weis-
