NOAH'S FARCE DEPT. ARKAOOOUIZAH The Sforg of ARKAIAUIH Nobody really knows how Arkooola- Iah got its name. Not really. That's because nobody but me knows my friend, Noah. That's because Noah came to me one night. Ralph, he whispered. Hey Ralph, wake up. Aw c'mon Ralph, don't make me hit you over the head with one of my rabbit foots, 'cause the rabbit this foot came from died away 'fore I did. I opened my eyes. There stood Noah. I promptly re-closed my sleepy little peepers. It wasn't until three min- utes and 28 seconds later II counted theml that I allowed my peepers to peep. And there stood Noah, beard flowing, long white wings carefully folded under his pits, arms crossed - his left hand disdainfully twirling the long, dead rabbit's foot on a T.G.8-Y. chain. C'mon Ralph, I see you peeping, he said, softly. ls you de Lawd? I shivered, sweat- ing and wondering if rabbit feet were just now getting to Heaven. Course not, silly, he scolded. l'm Noah. Remember the guy who herd- ed all those animals on the boat just before Adam forgot to turn off the water pump in the Garden of Eden. Whew! 40 days and 40 nights. When he screws up, he doesn' just mess around! l'm confused. What are you doing in my bedroom? In fact, what are you doing in a small South-Central Kansas town in the fall of 1931? ln fact, what - Cool it Ralph. Lemme explain. You see, the Heavenly Wicked Witches Group IHWWGJ up in Heaven got this report from your fair city. The kids in Ark City are doin' too much damage on Halloween. You've been appointed to find something else for those little brats to do. I think an entertainment evening would be nice. And it might get the HWWG group off my rangatang. They've kidnapped her until the problem is solved. Thank your lucky stars you were picked, Ralph. The Witches could just as easily have chosen Henry Kissinger! Why in the middle of the night? I asked. 'why not? Oh all right. On one condition. You've got to be the hit of the parade. Parade? What parade? Noah queried. Well everybody knows kids love parades, I answered. We'Il have to have a parade, and you've got to be the drawing card. Bring your arc and all those dead animals. We'Il see ole Jack Mercer, and get a trai- lor from him. Hell, ole Jack can get a trailor to haul anything. O.K. I don't want to, but l'd do about anything to get Peaches back. Peaches is my rangatang, ya know. The early dawn coffee pot had be- gun to perk like the Maxwell House commercial. Noah and l had migrat- ed to the living room, and were just opening the second package of Doral Menthols. What will we call this gala event? I coughed. I dunno know, Noah stammered. How 'bout 'Gala Event'? Ick, I wheezed. I know. How 'bout ARKANOAH, since you're going to 26 be the hit of the day. 0.K. by me, he agreed. And so it was. The kids were kept happy and relatively harmless. The grown-ups all ate too many pancakes and dried-up sandwiches while watching the parade. Which brings me back to how Arkaooolalah got its name. Just as the parade marshall got even with the reviewing stand, I stood at the megaphone, ready to announce the major event of the parade. Ladies and Gentlemen, I bellered. It is my pleasure to announce that we are evah so fortunate to have in our midst today, the evah popular Noah. In fact, we've named this fes- tivity in honor of him. We'll call it ARKA , , . At that exact moment the queen's float passed the reviewing stand, and, as is my wont, I noticed them with the same phrase I always no- tice beautiful womeng OOOLALAHI Out came . . . ARKAL00OLALAH! Ark City didn't mind. It had 'ark' in it. And the queens didn't mind - they were flattered. And how do you fight a town and a bunch of queens? So now you know. But what you may not know is that Queen OOOL- ALAH, 1973, Miss Wanda McAdoo and her court may well have been the most beautiful court in the 41- year history of ARKAOOOLALAH. Well, Noah went on back to wher- eever it is he goes. He sent word by a peace dove that Peaches has been recovered. Peaches is his rangatang, you know . . .

FUNKY-SOUL DEPT. BSE DEFIINCTIEST GROUP ll Dear Great Pumpin, My mommie says that I'm wasting my time writing to you cause you're a nothing, a nobody and you don't even exist. But I don't care cause sometimes the kids at school call me a nobody too. But all I knows is that sometimes I'm a hungry little nobody. And so this letter miraculously fell into the hands of Dwayne Hickles, great pumkin of the BSE and his side kick Randy Watson, supper chicken. The members of the BSE sent out a desparate plea to the students of CCCC to bring food. Only three cans of turnips and one pickled beet showed up at the secret drop off. But-they were not discouraged by the stinginess of their classmates. Rummaging through the pumkin patch and the garden of presevatives and additives, better known as Dillions and Safeway, the great pumkin and his merry band of soul brothers and sisters gathered food with the help of the store managers and saved the holiday with Project Foodbasket. r Black Student Establishment members are: Vice-president Randy Wat- son, Connie Byrd, Charles Reed, Mike Carrel, Secretary Brenda Watson, Robin Byars and President Dwayne Hickles.
