But then who ever expected him to turn it in on time? That would be out of character. He is frank to confess that he does not know why everything comes out so slowly. Perhaps the nights are too short for sleeping and the days too long for staying awake. Anyway, be- tween fits of seeming anguish over this dilemma Bill manages to play a good game of basketball, with occasional flashes of brilliance, and his baseball though often interrupted is satisfactory. Twenty-one strikeouts in one game is good in any league. He worries naturally- about the Croufr Nest circula- tion, the dent in the car door, the Clava: cover, the shape of the moon or what have you. We believe all that will wear off and Bill will emerge a well regulated citizen with nothing to do but sell envelopes now and then for date money. Seriously, the young man is capable and popular and as such should do well by his family, his associates, and for himself. 22

CREDENTIALS The Angel-4 Hay Barber-4 Nature Boy-4 Harley Representative-4 MAYNE Haifa BEEF TRUST INSTITUTE The cows in the pasture, the green fields, and that white farmhouse, provide the setting and surroundings from which our picture of health has emerged. But this peaceful scene is only a guise, used not only to allow Iohn's curly locks to propogate, but to provide a balmy solitude for the warm city folk. It has been said in some of the not to be quotedv circles that hay is used primarily as fodder. But, strange occurrences at the Mayne farm have been noticed during the evening, by our spies, who have observed that he has obtained new and revolutionary advantages from it. In spite of Iohn's corn- fed phase of life, he manages to arrive in town so debonair that one could easily understand his many successes with the feminine world. He changes from tractor to Buick convertible, looking natural in one and acting natural in the other. 23

CREDENTIALS Bay Rat-4 Ace of Diamonds-3, 4 Class Haystack-2, 3, 4 Punctual-3, 4 fweeks laterj f REINEMAN Willie SANDY-BAY ACADEMY We always fondly thought of Willie as a bashful, unassuming soul who speaks in a meek whisper, wears a studious look behind his pale-rimmed glasses, and studies his lessons with dogged persistance. When this young- un's parents took an extended vacation in the Southland, however, it seems that some changes were wrought in his inner-most character Qas well as in the physical topography of the family automobilej. One Monday morning, our idol was irreparably shattered, as a tall, gaunt, yet wonderfully hand- some youth strode unsteadily into school, wearing disheveled hair, heavy eye- lids, and the emaciated countenance of William Reineman. We were exceed- ingly alarmed to trace in his haggard expression, the advanced symptoms of Spring Fever, which threatened to result in a serious heart condition, if treat- ment were not begun at once. Upon questioning, however, Bill weakly re- plied he had spent a restful weekend at a friend's house near the lake,' and then, with a characteristic philosophical look, muttered something to the effect that women can be habit-forming. 23
