27 at Westminster Presbyterian church. Before her graduation
from the university, Miss Holtz was a member of Alpha Chi Omega,

the army, Mr. Branch has attended the university where he is a
member of Phi Kappa Psi.
Still Prunella
BY PRUNELLA, HERSELF
With all this conversation by the beasties behind her
finished, Prunella at length understood the cause of it all.
The so-called ladies were planning to ask men for dates to
some stupendous spectacle.
"Oh, how horrible," murmured Prunella, and the face in
the napkinholder replied, "Not a bad idea."
"Especially if you get tired of admiring big handsome
Brutuses from a distance. My feet get so tired walking up
and down these steps just to see them drinking Brazilian
milk shakes with other girls. I want a football player all
my own, even if he's only left end on the 27th string's
bench. Wonder if anybody can get in on this act."
Whereupon little Prunella summoned her courage. Af
ter it had answered the call, she turned to face the remain
ing duet. A quick look told her that lacing that prune
physiognomied pair did take courage.
"Could you tell me where you're going to take your
dates, if you're stronger than they are, and they consent to
go with you?" she queried in her best asking-foolish-ques-tions-of-strangers
tone.
"Sure, stupe," Newly Blondene explained. "We're
ropin' in our men early for the Mortar Board ball, December
13. With a Friday the 13th coming up, it'd be just our luck
to have everyone but Ging E. Vites and Simple Que Sampson
dated up unless we get on the beam quicklike."
"Then, is every girl in school inviting a fellow to the
party?" Prunella asked.
"But natch, droop." Burrhead cut in. "That's the night
we take revenge on these lowly creatures for all the things
they've pulled on us this twelve-months. We fix corsages
of limburger, empty casks of C2H50H, wilted rose-buds
bent cigarettes and used lipstick cartridges. We complain
that we're just about broke, apologize for having to have
the car home by 11:30, and take over their role, in general,
for the whole evening. Every December is the chance of a
lifetime, as far as I'm concerned. Of course I'm very, very
rusnea au tne time keeping the dates in my appointment
book straight, but I do think this custom is so very quaint."
"Yeah," Blondene rejoined. "It's my one date of the
year, too."
"Then all I have to do is buy a ticket, and ask any man
I want?" Prunella said. "Gosh, December 13 is only 33 days
away. Getting a date is lots more important than Christ
mas shopping, I'd best concentrate on this first. Mortar
Board ball, eh, wonder how they knew we'd be wanting to
ask someone. Maybe they have the same problem as human
being do. Let me see, who could I ask that wouldn't laugh
in my face ? Suppose there's someone around whose face
has been frost-bitten? There must be someone ... let me
think."
And forthwith she headed for the registrar's office,
where she could examine the enrollment cards for all 5400
male students. In the excitement she even forgot to pay
her check, and her eagerness spurred her to such speed that
th cashier chasing her lost out before she passed Ellen Smith
BY TOTTIE FIDDOCK.
A busy weekend is in prospect
for everybody, in spite of tests
and shortages male or female,
that is, depending on your point
of view.
