LUCKY STRIKE presents
3i ii ' hi iifaaina
Dr. Frood, Ph.T.T.
Dr Dr. Frood: I am a 35-year-old
freshman. Should I wear a beanie?
Worried
Dear Worried: If I were 35-year-old
freshman, I'd wear a mask.
Daor Dr. Frood: Nobody likes me. Girls
despise mc. Men can't stand me. Profs
detest me. Dogs snap at my cuffs. What
should I do? Hated
Dear Hated: Don't ask me. 1 don't like
you, either.

Dear Dr. Frood: I'm a non-conformist.
But 1 smoke what everybody else smokes
Lucky Strike. Mow can 1 be different
and still smoke Luckics?

DR. PROOD'S MORAL. OF THE MONTH
Things worth having are worth working for. For example: If you
want a football letter, find a football player and ask him to write
you one.
Door Dr. Frood: I'm flunking every-,
thing but math. I get D in that. Help me.
Name withheld by request)
Dar Withheld: Spend less time on
math.
to o o
Dear Dr. Frood: I have a ravishingly
beautiful girl in my class. Sadly, she is
witless. Should I flunk her?
Bookish
Dear Bookish: Pass her. Other profes
sors are waiting.
Dear Dr. Frood: I go steady with two
girls one in the dorm, one in the Theta
house. TVaveling between the two places
is making a wreck of me. What to do?
Tired
Dear Tired: Get your girl to get your
girl into her sorority.
DR. FROOD AND THE
AMAZING NEW FILTER
I had occasion recently to
study the remarkable "no
smoke" filter made of solid
lead. No matter how hard
you puff, you jet no smoke.
Incidentally, i pack of these
cigarettes weighs 2 pounds.
Luckies weigh less ... end
you get smoke. The best.

COLLEGE STUDENTS SMOKE
MORE LUCKIES THAN
ANY OTHER REGULAR!
When it comes to choosing their regular smoke,
college students head right for fine tobacco.
Result: Lucky Strike tops every other regular
sold. Lucky's taste beats all the rest because
L.S.M.F.T. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco:
TOBACCO AMD TASTE TOO FINE TO FILTER!
