E UErnm?iel.d l3ea.co11!:! Z On the way down to the pond, I saw a green object in the road. I thought it was a leaf, but when I got to it, I found a ten dollar bill. I turned my bicycle around and headed for the Soda Shop. I said to myself, I knew this was my lucky day. Half way to the Soda Shop I saw a black cat go across the road in front of me. 1 did not think a thing about it. When I got to the Soda Shop, there was a man selling chances on a new Ford. The chances were a dollar a piece, so I bought nine chances and used the other dollar on a lemon and lime. About two weeks later, I received notice that I had won the new Ford. I also got my license to drive, the next day. So Friday the 13th was my lucky day! William Beauvais '53 FISHING PROPAGANDA Ah, yes, fishing season! It is the time of year when boastful men plan to rise at 3 A. M. and catch the biggest fish in history. They leave their houses at 8:30 only to return in half an hour soaking wet and ready to be wrung out. Now there are several types of fishermen. First, there is the man who prides himself on his enduring patience. He will sit by a brook from five to ten hours at a time with his back against a board until he catches a fairly good-sized fish. As he rises to leave, his gaze falls on the board against which he had been leaning. It bears the sign, No Fishing - S500 fine. He immediately loses all self control, hurls the fish back accompanied by several appropriate remarks which I find unfit for publication. Next we find the restless fisherman who is constantly skipping lightly from rock to rock. Occasionally, as fate would have it, the light skip becomes a SPLASH as he misjudges the distance and comes up midst flailing arms and flying spray muttering oaths that differ not in the slightest degree from the patient fisherman's speech. There are those who must spend time fly-casting. Down near a trout stream one may see men dangling from trees like so many monkeys as they try to rescue their five dollar line from the grasp of a tree. Closer to the water your attention might well be arrested by various noises. You hear the low whistle of the fishing rod as it knifes through the air mingled with the whirr of the reels as they let out or take in line. The monotony of these sounds seems endless until your sensitive ear picks up the first peaceful strains of a high pitched scream. This lessens octave by octave until it results in irregular groans as an unlucky fisherman finally succeeds in plucking his fish hook from its all too painful perch in the sensitive end of his body. Once again I am forced to omit any quotations I had thought of making. These are only minor incidents in the hazardous life of the sport -- fisherman. But still the staunch fishermen brave man-eating flies, wet feet, tangled lines, and soggy lunches for a little bit of sport. Maybe I'm not a good sport as far as fishing is concerned, but none of this for me. Whenever I feel the need of a mouthful of fish, I sink down into an easy chair, and like the gallant soul I am, draw out my trusty can opener and proceed to liberate at pack of already dead sardines.
