on the SHIN by Don Hays
Pi Phi athletic activity, which has suffered a decline since the departure of Rachel Kiene, is on now the upgrade, as evidenced by Mary Lou Schmiener's daily display of her form in a workout routine on the first team and it is rumored she regularly attends the training table at "Tooties."
Maxine Woody crashed through again to be elected the best he-she on the Hill. After having her picture in the Kansas City paper, she now brushes about the fact she knew that "She was man enough to do it."
"Lymn" Sloan, arrow bearer, is still pleading for the Shinster to tell why the sisters insist on calling her "Lymn" (short for laminat) . . . the real truth has finally broken . . . Pi Phi sisters call her this because they must rub laminat on her head and tie her up in a hooded sleeve the above needed treatment, we offer her Wednesday night pun from page 27 of her joke book: "What does one closest say to an adjoining closet . . . we 're clothes' together"
Shinster can't help but notice what a different group of girls attend the weekly Wednesday night class. If you were to well admit the activities are a little rusty at first, but time will put them back on a level with the freshmen
The interested reader who called and wished to know how to play "foo" so that he could introduce the game for me, he played with the picnic, we offer this suggestion: A "foo" and his "gou" are soon "poo"—so forget 261!

Floyd Ray Rated Among The Best
Aggregation To P l a y
For Freshman F o r l i c
Outstanding on n W e s t
Coast
Floyd Ray and his swinging favorite from the western coast will beat out the rhythm as students learn to play the Freshman Frolic Friday night.
Noted for his ability to play anything from the hottest Harper jazzy to soft, melodic. Ray should be a great guitarist, alternates from one style to another.
The popularity of Floyd Ray and his colored orchestra has been sweeping the western coast. In reviewing a swing concert at the Palomar in Los Angeles, in which Ray played in competition with other musicians, Hal Kemp and others, the Los Angeles Examiner made the following statement: "Who won the swing concert at the Palomar? It was not a contest, merely a concert. Had there been prizes awarded, however, we imaged it. But Floyd Ray might have carried off more than the lion's share."
For the sweeter tunes, he has Joe Alexander, the Bing Crosby of Harlem, to add the finishing touches, and Johnny Alston, to his "seating song" Johnny Alston.
Advance tickets are being sold at $1.50. The price at the gate will be $1.75.
