11ITLKELE Y EE WS as Are you “helping the other fellow?’’ I do not approve of a questioning or printing criticism of one’s personal dress. What right has anyone, for we are all of the same clay, to publicly print a questioning of his schoolmate’s dress. What right, I repeat again, has anyone to ask the reason for the missing of his classmate’s collar? We are not endowed with a privilege so penetrating that we can question personal dress as to what it seems to lack. A student, vidtim of his schoolmates’ criticism may some day tower far above the head of those that criticized his perioual dress at school, he may even see his so-called dress critic without a collar, but he is too much of a gentleman to criticize the personal dress of anyone. And again, who is the Squealer?

BULKELEY NEWS 27 Squeals by the Squealer Well, fellows, here I am again, always questioning never answering, but that’s my portion. While speaking of questioning and answering, do you know that the Spanish stand their question mark on its head,; I’m rather inclined to think that it is a pretty neat custom, You know yourselves that there is many a question which to answer, would almost make you stand on your head. Try answering these, but don’t try standing on your head. Squealingly yours, The Squealer. Did those red marks blind you? Once more, any Juniors in short trousers? Do you know that chewing gum is manual labor? Have you paid your sweater pledge? What happened to the bowling teams? Does your father or mother sign your report? Is W. M. I. a sister school to Bulkeley, or Bulkeley a brother school to W. M. I.? Are you going to try for the track team? Have you noticed the different types of mankind in the Freshman class? Did you count the names of Bulkeley boys on the municipal Honor Roll? Are you buying thrift stamps? Have you missed your singing book yet? Uncle Sam needs you on a farm this summer, are you going? Do you belong to the M. N. N. Glee Club? What happened to those cute little Senior and Junior caps? Are you a member of the Red Cross? Can’t we have a rolling skate party? Did you read “Over the Top’’ by Empey?
