And last \Vednesday was that day. The C activity of the University campus was I revealed to him in a manner hitherto un- a known. May Queen election, and Bare foot Day, one and the same, were blended " into his memory for years to conic. I lie had heard reports, vague rumors, I of what Barefoot Day and May Queen n election were like. The reports, vague ti rumors, had served to whet his curiosity. ic Curiously, and ever more curiously, he anticipated what it would mean to him- 1i what his experience would be-what he S could relay to "Kid Brother"-what lie S might learn to impress junior with when Ii he went off to college. And he found C out. 11 With the crisp dawning came bare mas- Ij culine feet twinkling or twaddling, ac- ei cording to size, through the pleasantly dewed grass. For a long time, ever since di Spring was first supposed to be here, lie had wanted to deliver cramped toes from civilization's leathered bastilles. Ie had wanted to feel the cool dirt soothing his "athlete's feet" like it did while turning cotton land down on the farm. And now his day had come. And lie danced out, gingerly at first, then gaily like the young calf Bossy had found last time lie was home. Ile glanced askance Ii at the girls, wondered if they were laugh- g ing. They were. lie didn't care. le tc danced on, feeling like lie was something tc else, because only freshmen are allowed a to caper on barefoot day. In But there was something missing. Ii Where was the Palmetto, the paddle, the g belt? lie began to fear that Barefoot g Day would be a failure after all. After i all his waiting, his yearning, his great f expectations cherished for so long, was he to be disappointed by unemotional up perclassmen, indifferent to everything but s the attainment of a diploma? IIe won dered, and went to the mess hail for el breakfast. i lie spied a tradition-innpi:red sopho more with a fragile board. Ile rushed forward gleefully, and personified a nine ty degree angle. With a bored expression on his countenance the higher-up raised his implement. "This is going to hurt you worse than it will me," lie apologized, as if such ceremonies shouldn't be allowed. "0, no it won't. Go ahead. See, I'm all ready. Don't mind ne." The freshman was excited. iIe was happy as all should be when in their ele ment. The paddle descended, and the heman hunched forward, thrilled to the core. Sweet dreams, in reality still sweeter ! MEN!
