Gala costumes and funny faces filled every nook and cranny of the VFW Club on Belt line, where the party was held. Kenny Morris and his orchestra played for the event. The Shirt With The Yellow Spots One of the biggest mysteries on the campus of Texas State College . . "The Shirts With the Yellow Spots" . . . has finally been solved. The scene is the college laundry. The puzzle: why were the yellow spots appearing on all the white shirt collars after they had been laundered? And, to add to the mystery, why did the spots appear only on the left collar of each shirt? Research staff members were called in from the College of Household Arts and Sciences, but days of careful watching and study revealed only more yellow spots, always on the left collar only. Chemicals and formulas were changed, equipment torn down and put tbgether again, padding on the steam ironers were stripped off andl replaced but still: more yellow spots. The search narrowed down to a concentration of alkaline which caused scorching in the shirt presses. Where did the alkaline come from? Nobody knew. Officials were ready to tear their hair and burn down the laun dry when somebody turned their attention to an innocent-looking pan of tap water with a small cloth in it. And then the problem came to light. The cloth had been used to dampen areas of the shirts which had dried before they were ready for the pressers. The oper ator always put the cloth down on the stack of shirts on the left collar. Due to the extreme alkaline content of water in Denton, the pan had become the holder of alkaline content salts. The rag soaked up the salts, which was transferred to the shirts. The cul prit was sentencedi to death in the incinerator.
