Sooner Damsel Seeks Treasured Pennants
It seems that while she and her friend were making their tour of inspection through the Kansan back office, in the process of which they discovered the streamer head, "Jayhawks Anext Initial Titl" and later "Anext Final Titl", someone was so unkind as to swipe two pennants from the small vehicle in which they had made their trip from Stillwater.
It was just before the Oklahoma Agnes administered their 3-0 setback to the aspirations of "Potato" and his cobotus early this fall. With an appeal to impress upon us recipients the dire calamity we may undergo should the "swipe" fall to return the pennants, which are valued, "not so much for their intrinsic worth as for their history and sentimental attachments."
If some lucky Kansan should perceive have been the perpetrator of this dastardly crime, may he have invoked the wrath of the Almighty, and in addition, we hope that he returns the pennants.

His only reason for referring to that great book, the Bible, is that it is a profound study of life. Student Curry's deeper understanding, and Doctor Curry's contribution to the student life of today is that he enables the student to study the Bible for him either more than to have someone else do it.
