The Spectator Sixty-three Who's the Freshie glamour girl? Wouldn't you like to know? She's the one that has the curl, Our Jane, with all her beaus. Edith has a brother Who takes her everywhere. What would Edith do If Sammy wasn't there? We've got two cute couples in our band, There's slugger Walter, and Knock 'em out Rana. And there's Sarah who has a gleam in her eye When she sees Kennedy walking by. Roses are red, Violets are blue, Taffy likes boys, They like her, too. Mary Margaret and Dottie, too, Have their steadies, I'm telling you, One is Searcy modernized, The other is Charlie quite glamourized. Miss Legeai, tell me, pray, Why art thou so sad? Could it be that Miss Boulet Has taken your Bishop lad? Who does Donnie-really like? The truth we can not find. We've heard a lot of rumors, But what's really on her mind? What's the news about Louie da Dago? We hear that he and Yvonne are quite dat way . He can't speak English, he ain't got dough, But you got to love someone to be in the sway.

Sixty-two The Spectator Caroline is getting to be Miss Steadfast on us. It's been Jordy for just months and months now. What's this hatching up about Connie Faust that's such a big secret? Could it be about Beth's old flame, Harold, or just one of Beth's cousins? We don't know, we're just asking. Patty's really getting somewhere when she can get a woman- hater like Campbell to sit with her by the lagoon for an hour. fNote to censors-don't get the wrong idea, they were just throwing rocks at the ducks. We swear itll It must be getting serious when other girls have to ask Little if they can take Woolfolk to a dance. How about it, Ann Boyd? Correspondence is burning up the roadways between here and Lafayette, n'est-ce-pas, Klippie? Who is it really rates in the Carroll league? After going steady all year, he suddenly breaks out with dates with Springer, Lyons, and Barkerding, all in a row. Maybe that little black and gold object that June has been hiding could give us a clue to the whole situation. Speak up now, J unie! How runs the Stream, Brewster? You ought to know! Whose finger did that naughty little Senior ring steal from to go travelling far, far away on somebody else's finger? Wish we could' tell you, but in spite of all appearances, we're honorable, and promised not to tell. Well, I guess this constitutes a formal bow and final curtain-call. It's been loads of fun writing this so-called column, and we hope we haven't made too many enemies. Honestly, it's all in fun, don't take it seriously, but consider it an honor to have your affairs written up for posterity. If We've hurt anybody's feelings Cand we certainly hope we haven'tl, remember that in a year you'll probably read the offending paragraph over and laugh. Bye, bye now, be good, and the best of luck to next year's so-called columnists. Amamus tout le monde. Your want-ad reporters, Miss L. Laneous and Ann Nonymous. Freshmen on the Air! Greetings, folks, this is station P. U. Bringing all the freshman news We will tell of who's what, and what's who, Giving all their just dues.

Sixty-four The Spectator Liz is thinking of Eric, oh, what joy, He's that little drummer boy. This is your Station P. U. Signing off because we're through. . The Freshman Exchange Column IT'S always interesting to see what the younger generation is do- ing. Therefore I particularly enjoy reading Palmetto Leafves, pub- lished by the lower grades of Country Day School. These boys and girls seem really enthusiastic about their magazine, judging from the large number of contributions, and they write their class and club news so interestingly. The designs and illustrations are chosen by contest and colored by hand. One of the best magazines we receive is The Clio from Miss Beard's School in Orange, N. J. It is a school rather like ours, a girls' private school, with boarders and day students. The literary material is all good, and seems to be really chosen, not just a hodge- podge of anything handed in. All the clubs, of which there are many, hand in news reports, and the magazine really gives a com- plete picture of the school to any outsider. The only criticism I might have is that the art work is not up to the standard set by the rest of the magazine. Most of our other exchanges have been newspapers, which are interesting to read because of the glimpse they give you into different kinds of schools from your own. However, there's not much to criticize in the way of literary or art work, and I certainly couldn't pass on to you all the news that these papers gatherin every week. -So I'll pass over these with a word of praise to Brier Bits, from Greenbrier College in West Virginia. This paper reports school life and events especially well. This term's exchanges have been quite scarce, so that covers just about everything. It seems to be time to sign off, this time for good, so . . . so long!
