' 'Q 'VLA PITAHAYA iz i W's n'p Screecher HIS, the Screecher section, reveals the students as they really are. These pictures were taken when the victims were not looking but if some of them looked posed it is because they act that way. By the way, these pictures were not all taken at the same time or place. I tell you this so you won 't be alarmed. Gladys' and Barbara have at last realized where they belong, that is why they are in the trash cans. By the expression on Gladyis face she must have seen some one she didn 't like, but Barbara must have seen Leon because she looks so pleased. Those poor girls who are at the other end of these legs saw the pictures that are below them and keeled over. Modest little thingsll? Now guess who they are. Don't let this picture fool you. The girls don 't even know what those working implements are for. They think they look like weapons. But to tell the truth they look as if they would never need them. We want to know what those immodest girls are doing out in the yard dressed like what they are. Now we catch the point. The candles tell us that they may be looking for an honest man. I'd hide my face too, Shirley DaCamara, if I were you. He's almost as immodest as those girls in the picture up above him. Isn't he? This picture of Rats was taken on September morn. From the looks of him he should have drowned when he went down to lave his beauteous carcass. Garey looked up and saw Gladys in the trash can and was overcome with joy. Maybe that accounts for his half-witted expression or it 's possible that he has been hiding his real face from the world and the camera caught him at the right moment.

.--Q L ,lug DITAH wx FM 'N Unpopularity Contest HE Thorn Unpopularity Contest was an enormous success. The grand and glorious sum of 745 Cseven centsj was realized for the benefit of the Sock 'm Club. Every one of the contestants sued this publication for libel, slander, and defamation of character, but the court ruled that they should pay for the loss of popularity which the book suffered by having their mugs appear on its virgin white pages. The contest was divided into the general divisions of Biggest Pests, Nosiest, Most Lazy, and Most Beautiful. The booths for voting were placed inevery trash can in the city. Mac Sielski, Arthur Garcia, J. W. Young, G. W. Brad- berry, Hiram Goodman, George Crabb, Julian Meyers, and Alvin Walla were appointed guardians of these receptacles because of their truth, honesty, and simplicity. Ralph Conner was head trashman-Oh! wait, that trash man was a slip of the pen-we meant High Honorable Headkeeper of the Voting Booth. He was given this worthy position because of his ability to tell the truth about the fish he catches. Enthusiasm raged terrifically towards the end of the contest! Three pop bottles exploded from excitement! The ardent supporters of the various con- tenders rushed about vigorously, doing nothing, until the contest was officiously closed, and then they sped to the booths so that they could say that they had tried to vote, but too late. Miss Youra Fish was the winner in the first division, and was acclaimed Noisiest by the majority of three pins. Methal Liar was hailed as the Biggest Pest, Peon Garterson as the M-ost Lazy, and L. Cartsman as Most Beautiful. The winners' were taken on a triumphal ride and as they passed through the muddy roads of this dear old town they were pelted with bricks, stones, and what not, by the losers. Youra Fish attributes her success to Lucky Strikes, but Methal Liar modestly gives all credit to herself and her ability to say the right thing at the wrong time. Peon Garterson says he renders unto Sister Lasea his success, for Sister Lasea never let him stay up after 8:30. Mr. Marks was L. Cartsman's inspiration and guiding star. When Mr. Marks said that he had seen prettier people, L. Carts- man decided that the Man From Hollywood had not seen him. Page 140 xiii
