Dean Dyer Imitates
Hooch Hunting Sleuth
The climax of the Senior Cakewalk occurred about at 11:30 Friday night when Dean Dyeer, dressed as a prohibition officer, chased Ed Killip and Add Walker through the waiting room thinking that they were bootleggers.
After a strenuous chase Dyer apprehended the two alleged criminals, but noon discovered that they were just two poor boys deeply in the hole because of the flat-tire party that they were managing. Many claimed that they were really bootleggers that were out to get out of the hole on their party.
About one hundred and fifty客 attended the dance which was quite remarkable considering that the damages were only $1,00 "per" and that President Wilfred Belgard gave fire five hundred complimentary tickets.
A wild sensation occurred when the Cake Wake Talk appeared. This pub location was no dull and dry as "yeller" or the Sour Ovex.
"Chuck" Shofatall, Hill fixture for the last 10 years, managed to break away from the basement of Bell Memorial hospital for a short while, and with his 11 henchmen made noise for at least four hours. Some notes on it were ignored and put on it, as it never appeared, or the second piano player—well…
All the dancers thought that they were spectators at the valley basket ball game when "Charliebon Charlie" led them to three jumps all over the floor.
Oh you. Walker and Killip insure an ad in the Kannan late Friday night offering their clothes and trunks for sale.
