NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE U-PUN MY WORD! One day we all went out to Green Lake on a picnic. On the way Mar- lin ran out of gas, so he pulled his beautiful blue car up to a gas station and told the attendant to Fuller up. Since it was Good Gulf, it was Walworth the Price. We went on North. When we got there, we all went swimming. Marie said not to Lashcr, because the curl would all come out of her hair, but we thought this was Vera funnv ' cause Rhcnow she has a permanent. Howie stoocl on the Marge-’m with all his clothes on, and, of course, fell in head over heels. Everyone said it was just like him, but he didn ' t give Adam (s). After a while we all carne out and got dressed. The boys looked very Manlef in their white ducks, although Rog had a red and green striped sweater on, but then, as Smitty says, “lotsa Menges wrong.” We were all very hungry, but nobody knew what to do with all the raw meat hanging around. Naomi said she Whadcook it, ’cause she knew Don didn’t Cookc so hot. We all had to do our share and “Lizzie” said that was all right with her, because her motto is Given take, anyway. “Andv” helped a lot, too. You know, he’s a Crear guy, but sometimes he certainly is a Saint. When “Namy” told us supper was ready, we said, “Hogy, toots!” and were quick in Cumming(s). Food never Fales to draw a crowd, and few people want to “Chuck” their meáis for anything else. Jane was first in line for the hamburger, and said, “Hurry up and Gibson to me!” Soon we’d all had our Phil. Mary Stodart her fifteenth hamburger, but couldn’t finish it. Most of us felt we couldn’t look another hot Barkcr in the face, so we all turned our Baxter the tire. Some turnee! Wright towarcl the Paddock from whence they had heard a Winne. Others wandered off into the darkness to Larry awhile together, ’tho a few returned to sit around the fire and bandy Woerts. Because of Purdue, Martha was a Marty-r to the cause and wished she had a Hcnkie. You Mayer may not like this, but you know it isn’t Truitt, and we Newell it all the time, or Ellis we Coon ' t have printed it. Page twenty-nine
