Susie has a large mirror which she keeps in her desk in Room 402. Every morning the mirror is uprooted from its resting place, and is passed around the entire class. Then the beautifying process begins. When someone is skipped by, we hear the mournful and persistent cry, Where's the mirror? 'S my turn now! Next you hear, Gee, I'm all out of bobby pins. Who's got a bobby pin? A dreadful silence follows, for, with bobby pins so scarce, no one can afford to answer. Susie doesn't mind the commotion her mirror causes, nor the fact that her desk is ran- sacked every morning, but just takes it in her stride. Her mirror has been passed around and used so long and so often that it has become a legend. When she accidentally chipped off a corner of it, it looked as if the entire Senior Class would die of heartbreak. But, Susie's mirror is still in use, chipped as it is. Soon our schooldays in good old Brandeis will be at an end, but the incident of the mirror will always remain in our minds. Often in our imagination we shall hear the old familiar chant, Where's Susie's mirror? LOVE AND SENTIMENT This is your Love-lorn Editor reporting, and bringing you gossip from B. V. H. S. Ah, love! Beautiful love! One day as your editor was passing by the lunchroom he overheard this conversation: N-, you're going to take me to the Prom, aren't you? Well, if I take you, what will all the other girls say that want to go with me? I thought you liked me best. Don't you? I do, but - Who was talking to whom, would you say?

Supply the missing letters: Here are some Couples whom you may see at the Prom, and at other future Social Gatherings: N- Z- and R- A-5 P- C- and F- B- fDon't blush, P D5 L V and I A CL- informed me that he will go with no one elsebg F- B- Ca different young lady, this timeb may be there with D- C-. Who knows? Two of our Lunchroom Checkers seem to be getting along rather well together. No, not those. It's N- S- and A- F-. P- C-, the Frank Sinatra of 12 A, like the beverage by the same name, is Unrationed at present. Girls, here's your chance! I-- C-, the shorter half of 12 A CBoysJ and R- L-, the shorter half of 12 B CGirlsl are not exactly indifferent to each other's charms. 0 0 4 OPEN LETTER - To a certain attractive Young Lady: In the interest of the physical and the mental sanity of A- G-, I appeal to you. A- CTony, for short! has been acting very strangely lately. It was only the other day, while we were walking home, that he took a pencil out of his pocket and began smoking it. He sighs and sighs, and is most absent-minded. Please show him a little consideration. At least say, Hi, Tony! when you see him. 4 4 4 STOP! LOOK! LISTEN ! Boys, what are those moans and wailings which cause everyone to rush for an air-raid shelter? H H All Clear! It is only our school orchestra rehearsing for its coming engagement in Symphony a ! FLASH! Governor Crotty's term has expired. He will now take his seat in the Senate. Congratulations, Senator! FLASH! We are wondering which will have a nervous breakdown first, Mr. Bond or his car. SOCIAL STUDIES Iames I. Taccini, after many years of diligent research, has proved by vital statistics, that exactly half of the people who get married are Women. SHORTAGE We notice that there is an increasing shortage of Pushcarts. Take note, Giacalone! SYNTHETICS On passing by the lunchroom, we cannot help but hold up our heads with pride when we recall the highly memorable day when our school was awarded the Army and Navy E for a great achievement in the field of Synthetics. The humble SPUCKIE was selected as the nearest substitute for rubber. Anyone who has had the highly esteemed privilege of eat- ing one will verify the statement. Some fantastic rumor seems to be circulating to the effect thatfsorrgej one actually found some meat in a Spuckie, but such fantastic reports remain un- con irm . NEW PUBLICATIONS Nick Zadeh is discussing the publication, in the very near future, of his new book, DOVER SEREET AT MIDNIGHT, destined to take its place among the immortal classic literature of a time. QUESTION: Where and how did he get his material? Compiled by FRANCES BIONELLI NICHOLAS ZADEH IOHN YORK BRADY IAMES I. TACCINI I5'l5 'm'W' 'mm 'f
