French 459 S. 17th Street..............Junior College “Could you restrain your laughter, my friends.” Dutch” is so quiet that you wouldn’t know he was alive if it wasn’t for his shoes. Anyhow, he is a good fellow, but he is too modest. Why he wouldn’t touch a girl with a fishing rod. Afraid of a shock. I suppose. The Rostrum and Glee Club were honored by his appearance there.
