Here, good friends, is a tale of concentrated industry—no less. As you have probably heard, the Phi Delta has a little shebang of some kind or another in the City last Friday night and every one stayed over for something Saturday night also. Well, our friends, Punky Aubrey and Heckle Calcoum seemly had work to do so themselves to the Kansas City library and studied all afternoon. Guess it is a mighty hard habit to break after all.
that see yesterday's shows brought out the cowboy influence in one of the D.U. ranch labs—gross a combination of that long walk from the country and the Texas background brought on the high-heeled boots,
Stanley, "The best little soda squirrel this side of the Mississippi," to quote a poor advertisement, has put his foot down and decided that the salt and vinegar boots of the Union fountain. It seems that the boy children and girl children are still playing their pranks on others—maybe the recent band festival made them aware that they did not hurt it for a while.
We'd like to hand Margaret Pyle a laurer or (laur) for designing the formal she wore to the Pi Phi party Saturday day night. And now that you've had your laurel friend Margaret—are you sure you haven't been worrying too much about your finals or something? Looked pretty thick Tootse.
Suppose you've already heard bout one of the Sig Ep boys, John Turner to be exact, catching a fishing worm for the crayfish. You can count on him; case you haven't—'tis he. Must have been hungry as hell or else just being a fishman, that dollar all in one place, Jawn.
Just to show you that it pays to be nice—we understand that the students will learn how to load the big red apples yesterday. She let them out for the band parade last week and yesterday morning when she left on her desk, spilled in apples.
The lads around our fair school must be pretty badly basted since we hear that two of the local boys swim a river Sunday so they wouldn't have to pay two bits to get into a baseball game Good day for a swim though.
There comes a time when college gets too much for a person—football, classes, social activities—if any—and all that sort of thing. We were sorry to hear that it really landed both feet on John Peterson, better known as Peter—that is he, the boy who helped him be right-alt-accent that some of the boys caught him knitting the other day. In the good old days that was known as "losing your grip."
