He could also spend more time on his lessons by staying away from the beauty parlor. HoDNE'r'r: That will be all, Miss Gatewood. Your honor, the State shall now rest. JUDGE! All right. We shall hear the defense's side of the story. MINTER: Your honor, our first witness is Miss Ruth Atkins. Miss Ruth Atkins, please take the stand. Now tell us your version of Mr. Morgan's hair. MIss ATKINS: I think that Mr. Morgan's hair is luxurious, divine and glorious. How could anyone tell I went out with him if he didn't find Mr. Morgan's hair on my coat? I think that his hair is beautiful. It is so wavy that every time I look at it I get dizzy. Why, that is the reason I fell for him. MINTER: That will be all, Miss Atkins. Your honor, our next witness will be Miss Helen Heath. Will you please take the stand, Miss Heath? Now tell us your opinion of Mr. M0rgan's hair. Miss HEATH! Your honor, I think Mr. Morgan's hair is be-oo-ti-ful. You know, sir, that women prefer blonds but marry brunettes, and I think if there were fewer brunettes and more nice, curly-haired blonds the ladies would be better satisfied. Think of Mr. Morgan with black hair: my, oh, my, what a loss his hair would be to us. Your honor, if you were a girl wouldn't you consider yourself honored to have a blond-haired husband awake you in the morning and ask you to bring him his clothes and give you one sweet kiss with his lzafrf Uh-oh, I mean his lips. MINTER: That will be all. Miss Heath. Our next witness is Mr. Charles Reed. Mr. Reed. will you please take the stand? Now tell us your opinion of Mr. Morgan's hair. REED: Your honor, I think that Mr. Morgan's hair is the guiding light of our team. When we see that blond head under the basket ball goal we know that our team has scored- maybe. Look at me, I have blond hair, but without curls, so I am utterly left out. MINTER: That will be all, Mr. Reed. Your honor, this finishes the defense's side of the case. I have summed up the main reasons for not dying Mr. Morgan's hair black: l. It is a benefit to the girls in several ways. 2. It is a benefit to athletics. 3. It is a benefit to the public at night. HODNETT! Your honor, the State gives a summary of the nuisances of Mr. Morgan's hair: 1. It interferes with his lessons. 2. It isn't possible to make his hair look like a porcupine. 3. It is a nuisance to dark suits. JUDGE: The jury will please retire. EVA WARREN: I bet Mr. Pickup had better watch out while all those women are around. LUCY 'DAvIs: Don't worry, the women won't bother him. CTwo hours pass before the jury announces that it has reached a decision. The jury walks in and take seats.I JUDGE: Gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict ? LUCY DAVIS: I bet they reached for the couch when they got in there. EVA WARREN: Yea, they sure did look sleepy. FOREMAN PICKUP! Your honor, we decided for the defendant to keep his blond hair. JUDGE: Very well, ladies and gentlemen. Now, Mr. Morgan, you have heard the verdict and you are excused. CThere is a great commotion in the room and the reporters, led by Sue Yeaman, dash for Mr. Morgan, who was walking with Charlotte Larrabee.J LUCY DAvIs: Well, I think we better get going. EVA: You would say something like that. CThey walk down the street and a car stops by them: the Judge puts his head out of the window.J Oh, ladies, are you going home ? says the Judge. LUCY: Yes, sir, we sure are. CMakes eyes at the Judge.I JUDGE! VVell, keep going. Uust then Theodore Berlin arrives on the scene driving a new tin can special make automobile.J THEO: Ohl Girls.

Lawson Lester comes to school whenever he can. May George Crews be like him. A big outdoor man. To some nice Junior, sweet and fair, we leave Nina Burgess' pretty pink hair.

To all the members of '31 we hope you continue to have fun, and happy as the day is long, to sing your childish song.
