.!4f QQKCUQO XM 300 Didja ever wonder why mistakes show up in the last line of that perfect copy? 1t,s the work of a pogo-stick gremlin athlete. Aw, ilon't bother putting on those safety glasses, Leo. This is just a short grinding job. You 1c'on't hurt your eyes. Nyah, nyahf' says this little rascal. He,s one of the grem lins who infest the football feld and who enjoy espeezally knocking halls out of halfbaekfs hands. In these busy times, we often wonder why we make so many mistakes and blunders. W'ell, the gremlins can take a bowg they're the ones who are responsible for the majority of them. A couple of years ago, the R.A.F. was confronted with trouble that came from a mysterious source. Their GZ tackled the problem and soon dis- covered the gremlins, bad little elves who lived only to cause trouble. Here on our very campus, we are infested with them. One type that you will recognize is the type that perches on your shoulder and whispers in your ear to write a zchonz instead of a who in the grammar examinations. Then there are those who slide across your paper when the ink is Wet, resulting in a fiasco. Did you wonder why your basketball shots run around the rim, then fall out? Investigation will show the pres- ence of four gremlins of the no-goal class. Don't look now, but there's one on your shoulder, getting ready for action. l
