THE 1919 CROAKER WHAT WE DON’T KNOW NEVER HAPPENED Wc know: The day Lucile Pontius didn’t go to the matinee. (She had the measles.) Who climbed down the fire escape one night last fall. Why the faculty arc so peaceful. Why K. Z. went to the party. Why Miss Barber goes to “The Grand”. Where the Phi Delts spend their leisure time. All about the “Barber-cue”. Why Francis went to Burlington to “Have a Heart”. Why Pete bought a new suit on Saturday, March 1st. What happened at the Y. M. C. A. one midnight. Why Luebbcrs doesn’t get to speak at chapel. Where the college dance hall is (not). Why a few girls go to visit in New London certain week ends. Why “Babe” left the Hall. What the corn-bread is made of. Where Jeffrey got all the students in the catalog. Frank Snider had been fussing the night before and as a result he had his German lesson poorly prepared. In spite of this fact, he translated fairly well for a short distance, but after reading “and I put my arms around her”, he suddenly stopped and could go no further, and said, “That’s as far as I got, Professor Leist.” Professor Leist replied: “That’s far enough, Herr Snider.” At the Bank: “Miss Walker, is this your father’s signature?” Freddy: “As near as I could get it.” Prof. White (in Astronomy) : “What are the facts upon which you base your conclusion ?” East: “I haven’t hunted up the facts yet. It was hard enough to think up the conclusion.”
