Hucll, C. Nl lle li a Briar-rabbit of de cabbage patch has a habit of talkin' to himself. Let's listen and hear the latest gossipl Dat Eugene Bowlin am de biggest flirt dat I ebber seed. It don't make him a bit of dibberence whom he flirts wib effer. And 'at 'Louie' Meredith and Madelle Mansker am two good matches fer dat Bowlin feller, 'cause dey sho do go after dere men. I declare, I never seed sech boys as Clay Bostwick and Iames McEuin. Dey am perfect examples of 'Spare de rod, spoil de child.' Dem Zeller bruffers am anudder mess. That Willard one tinks he am awful witty, while dat Wallace one has de impression dat he appeals to de ladies. Boy, was dat Wilma Rosas face ebber red de day dat she ran into a feller and he gave her a bit of a squeeze. I sho don't see why some of dese Future Farmers-Buddy Simon, Willy Williamson, Lacy I-Iarmon, Stanley I-Ierberts, Richard I-Iamilton, and Iesse Atchison, and de Home Ec. gals-La Verne Runge, Lillian I-Iuch, Marilyn Light, and Mildred Deckere-don't git togeffer and enjoy demselves. If anybody wants to know anyt'ing about everyting just ask LaVerna Clasen. Boy, dat sho was a joke on ol' Chet Brooke. I-Ie started across de Missis- sippi and he got half way when him turned around and say, 'Well, good-bye, ol' U. S. A. I'm leavin' ya.' He made me promise not to tell about it, but I gotta' right to tink about it. 'lAnd clat ree-minds me of Charlie Fey. I-Ie went to St. Louis one day to look de 'town' ovah, and when he got to cle Union Station, dere was so many people dere dat he thought dey was havin' a picnic. So he stayed dere all day. 'lBut dat is not quite so bad as de rumor dat am out on Oliver Laymon. Some one say dat he came home from a party sort of thirsty. So he vent to de kitchen, in de dark, to get a drink and he got hold of his maw's starch and drinked it. Dey say he thought it was awful good. I'll bet he sho' did git all stiff clown inside. Dere goes Katie Allen. Her name ought to be Katie Ketchem instead of Katie All-in. Page 22

TI-IE SUMMIT, I936 the money for the Iunior and Senior Banquet, the class is selling candy. Dear Voice of lnexperience: David Laymon and Harry McGuire are such model students that the rest of the class never gets a chance to show its powers to entertain. What could We do to alter this situation? David I-larmon Dear David: I suggest that you have these persons associate more with those rowdies, Hurd lohnson, Fred Borgard, lack Atchison, and William Dilworth. A few pointers from Alma Preusse, Melba Vifeber, and Marion Wittenbrink would also have the desired effect upon these Percivals. Dear Voice of Inexperience: Imam practically driven to prostration by so-called crooning which is, in my opinion, an unnatural straining of the vocal chords. This accursed sub- stitute for singing is practised to the fullest extent by lames Allen when he makes his nocturnal sojourn at the domicile of one Betty Belle Etherton. What would be your suggestion for the discontinuity of this unjust slaughter of the eloquent congestion of musical notes? It is against my conscientious scruples to make personal accusations against a well-meaning friend, but enough is too much. Iames Lewis Dear Iames: I suggest that you secure the aid of Mildred Diefenbach in this perplexity. I-lave her take him ice-skating and see that he catches a cold. This may de- velop into laryngitis which, although not painful, hampers the ability for singing. Dear Voice of lnexperience: l am in sore need of a private tutor as l am having a constant struggle to get my Chemistry. If there is any possible solution to my problem, please in- form me. Dick Conner Dear Dick: The most suitable person for your problem is Paul Smith. Dear Voice of lnexperience: l have writiten a play entitled 'lThe Charge of the Revenoorsf' George Rushing is backing this play. lt is to be directed by the famous director of The Wreck of the Ford, smash hit of l935. I am in dire need of actors to take the parts of Smithy Snuff, Tilda, Minnie, Sophie, Garney Boogle, and Maisy Dae. lf you can suggest any persons to take these parts please let me know. - Nelle Markham Dear Nelle: After careful consideration I find that Albert Wehner, one of the stars of Bad for a Day, will very adequately fill the part of Smithy Snuff, For the golden-haired Tilda l would suggest another star of Bad for a Day, Laverne Welge. For the parts of Minnie, Sophie, and Maisy Dae, I would suggest Maire Vieregge, lanet Iohnson, and Kathryn Atchison. Glenard I-Iammack will make an excellent Garney Boogle, Dear Voice of lnexperience: We can't think of anything more to add to this inane conglomeration of dizzy ideas. What are We gonna do about it? 'Madelon Farrell and Bud Aspley Dear M. and B.: The best thing for you to do is to sign off. Page 21
