A committee was formed of most inactive and lazy men and .in the student body to investi the atfair.and report their finding 6re the last day of school-1935. But de acstatement by the unknown the 'life of the committee just At, Was' begining to suspect that -as supposed) to do something #,$Gentlemen, said the moustached when interviewed by the special 'f-.rter4 of the Gamecock, "I am none t6r than Herlock Sholmes holding iIona from the International dor dsp6ndence School of Detectives.

It seemed that k le culprit was some misguided book ver who might one morning forget to return his borrowings. So having the biggest feet in my class and the bst conspicuous mien I was selected o solve the mystery. "My suspicion was first, laid upon he cross-word puzzle hounds whom I ond infesting the library, distracting everyone by their conflabi. But I iscovered that aside from marking up he pages of the daily papers they had .o further interest in the pastime. Cross-word ptvzles never puzzled their numb cellular tissue; tete-a-tetes were ",,far more diverting. "After that my task was a compara tively simple one. I chanced to be , strolling past the chapel one morning when I noticed a certain young man * was shaking hands with the passers by. In spite of my efforts I could not escape him. He wrenched my palm and remarked, "Zounds, the occasion of greeting you here upon the geens ward of this fair and most distinguish ed seat of higher learning affords me a peculiar pleasure which I find my limited choice of words wholly inade quate to express in the least." "I pressed ia handkerchief to my P~feverish brow," Sholmes resumed af ter a pause -that showed that he was' 4 &* till suffering from the effects of the -encounter. "Then as I rescued my ~ ching limb from the fellow's grasp' ';I gave his countenance one look and Sh stened to the soda fountain for a ; bo.jt.'

He had asked her to go to "Bur nett's," that paradise of lovers, had brought her back to the School of Jour nalism in a Yellow Cab and before part 'ng at the noon hour had made a date for 7:45 that evening. Benny was anxious for that date, in fact he was so anxious that he passed the sweet one's home for the 47th time that evening at 6:30. Finally, he worked up courage enough to ring the bell at exactly 7:44.59, "Walk into my parlor," said the youig charmer to the victim. In, poor, unso phisticated Benny walked and iad,just left the love of his heart, the light of his life when he entered his campus domicile. The staggering and shotting was not from corn, rye or other grain (alcohol) but he soared into the ethereal heights which ohly the perfect lover can enter tain. So the reporter came back into the office without his "story." Before entering the arms of Morpheus Benny spoke as his last words: "We may ,e married soon." The campus is greatly shocked at this unbecoming behavior of the formerly in approachable "shiek." It knows nOt where to turn or what to do for fear that future events along the same lines may entirely disrupt the entire morale of the school. - U.S.C. - SOPHS WHA HAE.
