THE SCREECH OWL 11 Irma Wirta It’s hard for us to reconcile that uproariously funny Citronella, dusky in hue, with the girl who got “A” on her Burke test. And now we hear she’s going to be a nurse — well, there’s nothing like being versatile. Keep it up, Irma, we’re with you. Irving Wooldridge Irving is one of those calm, cool, and collected persons. But about that last adjective, who collected him? Jennie Zwirblia Jennie is a comparative newcomer to the class of ’29. We refer you to the class statistics for her failing. How do they do it?

THE SCREECH OWL 13 A TESTIMONIAL Dear Editor: — I got so much relief from the “Screech Owl” that I feel I want others to know all it has done for me. Two years ago, when I began read- ing the magazine, I was continually in ill health. My complexion was sal- low, my general condition was very run down, and the doctors said I was suffering from etaoinshredflu. I have never missed an issue of the “Screech Owl” and today I am in perfect health, full of pep, and my friends all assure me that I never looked better in my life. Today I am a success in every way, whereas I was formerly a mere wall- flower, unable to converse on topics of current interest, and a bore. I now have an unfailing source of jokes and witty sayings in the “Screech Owl,” which I find most helpful. I consider the “Screech Owl” the only safe and sane way to reduce. I have found that it is really easy this pleasant, new way. None of the starvation diet, harmful and violent exercising, or drug methods. My motto has been simply, “Reach for a ‘Screech Owl’ instead of a sweet,” and in this delightful manner I lost twenty pounds in two weeks. I do hope someone else may be in- fluenced by my experience to read the “Screech Owl,” and I want to thank you most heartily for all the maga- zine has done for me. Gratefully yours, (Miss) Flora Flittermouse. REUNITED “Richard Dale to see me?” The middle aged man in the rocking chair questioned the butler incredulously. “You are quite sure you have the name correct?” “Yes sir, Mr. Dample. He said, “Pleasq tell Mr. Dample that Mr. Richard Dale wishes to see him.” “Yes — yes. Show him in.” Lewis Dample laid aside book and pipe. He rose and smoothed the folds of his lounging robe. He was con- scious of a queer excitement. His mind searched the past across the stretch of fifteen long years of estrangement to the happy days when Richard Dale had been his in- timate friends. Dample was a stubborn man, but sentimental. At the moment he did not question why his old friend had come; it was sufficient that he was here. Richard Dale came into the room, and the butler softly withdrew. Dample was shocked at Richard ' s ap- pearance. He knew his age, of course — but somehow the man seemed older. His cheeks were shrunken and his shiny serge suit proclaimed his shabby condition. For a moment Dample was embar- rassed. He regretted the luxury of his surroundings. The two men stared at one another, and there flashed across the mind of each, memories of their years of friendship. They had been separated because of a girl neither one had won. Love had turned to bitterness, and when she rejected both of them each thought the other to blame for his failure. Neither man had seen no r heard from her since. Richard Dale spoke first. His man- ner was hesitant and his words came slowly. He extended to Dample a small newspaper clipping. “I wonder if you saw this Lewis ? It was in this morning’s paper.” Dample took it with shaking fingers. He read the notice. Marriage: “Nancy Jones to James Spaulding.” Dample’s hand shook more vio- lently. “Nancy is married. There is noth- ing now to keep us apart,” Dale spoke very simply. Lewis advanced, hand extended. “This makes me happy, very happy.” Their hands met, and then, because
