.--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

mg lmLLPI,1Q5,rffQLQ Organizations HESE dainty feminine creatures were chosen by the Sock 'em Club as their ideal girls. They look a little foolish, but have pity on them, you would look foolish too if you were in their positi-on. The duty of the Sock 'em Girls is to pick up the pieces and solder them together after a meeting of the Sock 'em Club. They wear chic little uniforms of pea green faced with polka dot lavender, with trim brass spittoons on their heads. The S0035-,tem Club would have had its picture in this book but the censors did thelir duty. The Sock 'ems wanted to have their pictures taken in their initiation uniforms, but it was too cold so they wore a smile instead. The dear little girls consented to give their beauty secrets to the public. Carier Peanut says to bathe only on Tuesdays and Saturdays, of every third month. Pauline Swancoat uses Arsenic Face Powder. Henrietta Neff chews t'Sylple g to keep that nymphe shape Miss Killam wears 4'Shape-0 corsets. Gertie Burr uses 61 Lacquer to improve the complexion. Carlene Gorman says drink Paregoric for that tired feeling. THE PEEPING TOMS This is an organization open to Physics students only. The object of this club is to peek through the Musemn Periscope at the other side of the river Cespecially on warm daysj.
