is it true that Frank Jackson has”a
“Crush on Irene Hearld? And is it
true that Irene makes her way up to
Tech every evening after' the once
said Frank Jackson? And is it—Oh!
a lot of tihngs?
Since when did the lovely little
Catherine G. go literary on us ?
They tell us that she is writing Poetry
to a eetrain young man about town.
Now just who has Catherine been
running around with snyway?
Now we just heard that Christine D.
and Leonard H. were making Hay
in the moon-shine the other night in
front of Zion Baptist church. Why
did Leonard stop and start to dancing
after the sixth one. Did things get
to torrid for you Leonard or can’t
you take it?
Why should Maxine B. stay away
from a party just because she and
her heartache were on the outs. What
did he have to do with the party
anyway? You’ll have to learn better
than that Maxine.
So Ernie Campbell has gone ab
solutely “Juvenile at last. Did Na
dine do him up as badly as that? Or
has his sweet young thing actually
got personal charm ?
You know kids, we have actually
got a “Navarro” among us and
didn’t know it. Edward A. has so
many women he doesn’t know what
to do with them all or at least he
didn’t the other night down at the
Center. Edward you messed u p com
pletely? But of course it wasn’t your
fault?
Who is the little frail person that
lives on Charles St. between 24, 25
Street (near rto 24th Street) that has
such a way with men? You know the
type that has all of the men feeling
brotherly toward her. Look out sis
ter, you might make some brothers
girl-friend angry and that wouldn’t
be so healty for someone.
When the Jacques throw a party the
Jacques throw a party. You should
have been on hand the other evening
at the Masonic Hall. Lights, women,
and wine. And what an evening!
What men; what a club!
Where could have John Elliott
been coming from the other evening?
And decides to go to a party about
twelve o'clock. Refuses to explain his
actions too. Is local boy breaking
loose? Look out girls he’ll be right
on you.
Brother Whimpy had a young mar
ried lady cornered off at the great
Scottsboro meeting the other night.
Where was friend husband? Or may
be Whimpy is a friend of the family.
oster Scott was also among those
present at the meeting. Why did he
leave just at the time he did. It could
not have been because the man start
ed to take up collection could it Fos
ter"?
It looks like Mary Allen D., has
knocked little Helen S., out for the
mighty Walter R. Stay right in there
Helen and drink plenty of ice water.
We’re banking on you. She can’t win.
Whose afraid of the Big bad Wolf?
That’s what all of the boys are saying
about a certain young girls father
and the answer is “I am” ask dem
ist, he’ll tell you. That’s the reason
he is minus a hat.
When new girls come in town all
the boys are right on them. Eugene
S., is an exeeeption. She is a lovely
little thing Skinner. We don’t blame
you.
And how little Dorothy Bell did

Wednesday nite. And Ethel wasn’t
there either. Or would it have made
any difference? We wonder?
The Quartette that graced the party

ing was a wow. Believe us when we
say so. Girls if you weren’t there
you missed something.

Apples are hung on rubber strings
in a doorway. The rubber strings
are not the worst of it. The apples
have been given a thin coat of molas
ses to add zest to this game! Each
contestant, with his hands tied be
h:nd hint, tries to bite one of the
apples. As soon as he has been able
to get just one bite out of an apple,
it is taken down and given to him!
He deserves it!
There are never more than 3 or 4
apples hung up. Neither the contest
ants nor the other guests could stand
any more.
Here is another game called “Pin
the Apple.” Apples are placed in a
pan or a tub of water, and contest
