An Esquire, coronet, notebook, shirt,
pair of socks, hat and coat, and trig book
lay scattered over the bed on which re
clined so comfortably a young man whose
feet, elevated over his head, were hooked
on the head of the bed, well up in the air.
Without movement, he remains in this
position for hours. The page of the trig
book never turns. His eyes are sightless
and his lips are still.
Shh! He's studying.
The beautiful young lady lost her foot
ing on that very smooth and dry channel
from "the wall" to Sloan College. A
gallant young knight rushed to the aid
of the maiden in distress, and, with full
masculine strength, started lifting her
from her muddy plight. For some rea
son, he also went down into the depths.
A passing female helped the erstwhile
gallant to his feet, and while he preened
his feathers, she lifted the other of the
weaker (?) sex.
Wanted: A gal what's tried and true.
Now just any old hag won't do.
I want a dame what's sweet to me.
All that anyone could be.
If you don't think you can fill the bill,
Just you remember that somebody will.
-Joe.
The other evening at the Freshman
Sophomore, a certain young lady had the
third no-break with a certain young man.
The dance date had been made three
weeks in advance. Since there was a
certain amount of attraction one for the
other, both looked forward with the
greatest of pleasant anticipation.
When the dance was announced, the
young man was dancing with a lady, not
so popular, who had not made a date for
the no-break. He was stuck. After the
number, he went looking for the other
one. He couldn't find her and in the
course of the hunt, someone told him that
she had not come back after intermission.
When the lady fair met the gentleman
the next day, it was with the most pro
found of apologies that she greeted him.
He allowed her to rave on for five min
utes when his conscience got the best of
him. Sheepishly, he admitted his predica
ment of the evening before.
He didn't get murdered-just almost.

That feminine bit of humanity, Beth
Comstock, seems to be writing a col
umn known as "Social Hangovers."
From the sounds of it, one feels that
he is suffering from a hangover. The
news notes are four weeks old, the
language dull, and the general atmos
phere is one of boredom.
In short, what this rag needs is one
less society column.
