Jean, the Badger part of the cor poration, and Sarah, the Bull half, just got tired of seeing sad at tempts at wall decorations around the campus. Many a time they were (cailed upon to remedy the situation and being girls with hearts of gold, they consented. Alas, Alack. . . their good-natured ness was taken in vain. They were so beset with requests for posters. .their scholastic work suffered, . .their pocketbooks shrank for no one thought of paying for the pg per. . . In other words, Badger and Bull found themselves in a thank less position. It's a cruel world we live in..'. but they struggled on.. . for they arc some of those few peo pIe who enjoy doing that kind of work. Jean and Sarah have done dis plays for teas, sports, meetings, drives and all such. Their workc has appeared on bulletin boards in Sims, Wade Hampton, Maxcy, the Canteen, and on trees throughout the campus. CORSAGES !LOWERS ,1433 MAIN STREETJ .E CUT F:LOWERS WER SHOP Columbio, S. C.
