THE GOLD AND BLACK CHAMPION BOXER LOSES TO PROPST Roy Propst gained the heavyweight title tonight when he knocked Jack Demp- sey from the ring in the sec- ond round of a scheduled ten round bout. Propst was never in danger of the terri- fic wallop of the champion. He was so much smaller that he dodged the former K. O. artist and tired him out so, he was easy to knock out. Dempsey is reported to have said that he might as well have been slndow-boxing as to try to hit his opponent. ♦♦♦♦♦♦ For the Restoration of Your Hair, Use Godiva’s “Gro-Quic” Tonic Dear Friends: I am Anna Taylor, once famous actress, but I had to quit the stage on account of my hair falling out. Two weeks ago a friend told me to try “Gro-Quic Tonic,” but I did not think it would do any good. She advised me to do so at once or I would lose all my hair, so I ordered a bottle of this tonic. In less than a week my hair has grown a foot long and it also has stopped dropping out. I am back on the stage egain and making a comfor- table living. Yours for “Gro-Quic,” Anna Taylor. 16 Movie Street, Hollywood, Cal. NOTED DANCER SUES FOR DIVORCE Nan Archer, world famous dancer, has now entered suit for divorce against her hus- band, Dr. C. A. Troutman, who is equally prominent in the world of surgery. Mrs. Troutman has engaged Mr. William Davis, lawyer, to plead her case. She is divorcing Dr. Trout- man on account of his failure to support her. He only gave her ten thousand dollars a year. “A mere triffle; not enough to buy puppy bis- cuits for my darling Fido!” says Miss Archer. iHEHiiigiigiiiiiiiBiiiiaiasisiiaiasiigi The United States Nightin- gale will appear in concert of old Favorites.

THE GOLD AND BLACK The BLACK AND GOLD is the Prophecy of the class of 1925. Eugene Peeler, Prophet. EDITORIAL Time does fly — if any of us have doubted this we will cease to do so from now on. This issue of the Gold and Black is for the purpose of showing what time has done for the members of the class of ’25. Some of the revela- tions of these pages are amazing. We are surprised to find what a crowd of fam- ous folk-to-be and rogues-to- be are gathered there in name. Most amazing of all, though, is the fact that none of this is true; that its all the prophecy of the class of 1925, a class which joyously sings, “Senior spirit never dead, Senior gonna win again. Knock ’em in the eye and hit ’em on the head! Senior gonna win again!” NEW EXCLUSIVE SCHOOL OPENED Under Guidance of Mildred Rogers, Ph. D. “Rough-and-Ready,” the new school opened by Miss Mildred Rogers, Ph. D., is sure to succeed. “Our policy,” says Dr. Rogers, “is to knock every- thing we can into the minds of the dear young people of today. Miss Rogers has the help of Miss Idelle Connell in her institute. Miss Connell will lecture on “Physics” and “Discipline.” MISS CONNELL LECTURES Miss Idell Connell is tour- ing the world over giving lectures on “Discipline.” These lectures are very ed- ucational and are given for the benefit of Monitors in Literary Societies. Miss Connell has made a very deep study of her subject. She also offers a lecture on “Physics,” which is the sen- sation of the age. CONCERT TONIGHT There will be a concert given tonight at the Kanna- polis Y. M. C. A., by the well known arffists, Misses Margaret Antley and Edna Mae Widenhouse. They are expected to draw a large crowd because they are known the world over. Miss Antley has never had an an equal tickling the ivories. Miss Widenhouse has even a sweeter voice than Jenny Lind of yesterday. Tickets are selling like hot cakes and a good crowd is expected. LETTER FRIOM THE FARM Cottontown, Ala. Cornfed Farm, Jan. 26, 1940. Dear friends: I wish to tell you how to make a four acre farm pay. I plow the ground twice a year with mules. I sow the right seed, in the right place, at the right time and then when it’s ready I harvest the crop. I am sure this plan will bring you success. Farmingly yours, Ophelia Overcash. JEWEL THIEF CAUGHT Late yesterday evening the jewel mystery was uncovered and the thief caught. This robbery was unraveled by the skilled detective, Ralph Sech- ler. The thief was identified as Mable Rumple, who was thought to be quiet and hon- est. She had to force the vault open to get the jewels, so it is clear that she had an accomplice; but no other clue has been found yet as to the other thief. The nation owes Ralph Sechler great praise for being able to clear up an amazing mystery as he did this one. SMITH, OLYMPIC STAR Clement Smith yesterday took all honors in running. He won every race that he participated in. He also set three world’s records, which were previously held by Nur- mi, Finland champion. He also won over Joie Ray, the fast Chicago sprinter. Smith is a great runner and it is believed he will send a chal- lenge all over the world, to anyone who wishes to race. Would you be beautiful ? Would you be thin? Would you be charming?
