THE 1919 CROAKER S HORTAGE SO AIEWH ER E An advertisement of a popular musical comedy which a few of our best students (Specs) attended, has this to say of one of the attractions: 60 PEOPLE 30 COSTUMES A FRESHMAN’S DILEMMA If a body meets a body At a mixer in the fall Should he really feel acquainted, Ever ask for dates at all ? I have called up every girl Whose name is on my card, They’ve scorned and ridiculed me, All have turned me down so hard. FROSH Seems to me it’s inconsistent When a feller meets a girl And she says “I’m glad to meet you”, Sets his head all in a whirl, Later meets him on the campus, Passes with an icy stare, Leaves him feeling quite embarrassed Standing with his cap in air. I’m already quite disgusted, College girls are mighty queer, I dop’t think they’re much improved By being educated here. Guess they favor upper-classmen, Sophs and Juniors all get by. Seniors have no difficulties, D----- it, fellows, why do I ?

THE 1919 CROAKER HAVE YOU HEARD? That the 1919 Croaker was a success? We did. That William Blair was to be married? No danger. That Prcxy Schell, in his day, was a regular devil? We don’t doubt it. v That Miss Barber cuts classes when she wants to? Nobody objects. That Hershey Hall has good cats? That’s a lie. That Phi Mu sang good on their serenade? How could they? That we behave well in Psychology class? ???????? That Mamie wants a man? She said she did. That our blackboards were washed last year, loo good to be true. That Prof. Edwards gossips? That’s nothing new. That Mrs. Warhurst lost her temper? She’s never caught it from the first time yet.
