THE ISLANDER 1928 Two married women were dis- cussing the cost of living. It's really dreadful, said one sadly. Why, do you know my bills for clothes this year are double what they were last year. Goodness, gasped the other, I don't see how your husband can afford it. He can't, replied the other calmly. But then he couldn't last year either so what's the difference. Prosperity Farmer Moore was asked whether he had had a good year. Gosh, yes ! he exclaimed. I had four cows and three hogs killed by railway trains, and two hogs and eleven chickens run over by cars. I cleared near S1S1,000. Miss Green: Of course you can't believe everything you hear. Mrs. Gladreich: O, no, but you can repeat it. Mrs. Williams, recently re- turned from Europe, was in at- tendance at a tea given in her honor. And did you really go to Rome and Monte Cristo '? asked the hostess. I really don't know my dear, she replied. You see, my hus- band bought all the tickets. Actor: As a matter of fact, I could show you letters from- er-ladies in-er-almost every place in which I have appeared. Sport: Landladies, I suppose?

930- THE ISLANDER BH Williams Buell Nitzel Morris Geil Haynes The Super-Six The term super might well be used to describe these persons but not in the same sense as when applied to Hudson cars, nor would it be necessarily applicable if we considered the six above or beyond their col- lege associates. This would have reference to scholarship, sportsmanship, or any of the other ships known to present day educators. Those honored on this page do represent the best, however, in all these. And for this reason, the choice term super may be considered correct, if used in the rightful position as an adjective before the word six.. XI Where Bill is, there will you also find Spain, Spec, Goofy, Clow, and 1 itz. What prompts this, the sentiment of the old adage, birds of a feather flock together, or that of the scripture, A friend sticketh closer than a brother. Assuming that it is the latter, then the statement, that friend- ships made while in college are among the greatest assets gleaned by the student, is verified. The sweaters with their familiar stripes indicate the type of ship that the super six has especially empliasized-sportsmanship-in other Words, athletics. In most of the cases here shown the number of stripes indicate the number of years each of the six has served his Alma Mater, and also, the possibilities of the future. Grand Island College might Well be proud of this group, and strive to stimulate the spirit of friendship that the super six represent-vvhole- hearted, good will to every one. ' 1928
