Just then, Smith and Heckle came in, the first carrying a broken typewriter, Ferd pulling out the remains of the activity articles which his dog had found that morning. Neither Hill nor McDonald had been at school for three days, and their articles, all twenty-seven of them, not counting the doaen they had written and lost, were due in twenty minutes. Sneed was to have turned in his photographs for cropping the day before ... his camera was at the factory, and would be there for a month. He didn ' t have any film, anyway. Just then, the four o f them heard the curtains part, and Crump came in with a strained look on his face. He was followed by MacQueen, whose face was not strained a bit. It was white. Crump had just told him about the bill for the kiddie pictures, and also about the four lost checks for four full-page ads. MacQueen ' s lip trembled, his eyes sparkled, and his mouth moved without saying anything. Doggrell ' s ad campaign, by the way, was in its second month and netted $735, only $2,065 from the goal. The drive had eight days to go; it had been extended five times already. As the six of them stood, or rather slumped, mus- ing over the favorable situation, Morelock bounced in with the news that Col. Lynn had decided that he wanted an orange and blue cover (blue background with orange owl feathers crisscrossed to spell MUS), instead of the white one. With that, the entire staff, advisor included, silently turned and filed out the back door of the chapel and down to the Commons Room for a few game of eight ball before lunch . C ' est la guerre. 3:00 AM at Warren ' s house . . . 91

Jordan and Warren fumbled for their keys, one dug his out and jammed it into the broken lock of the Annual Room door (anyone can open it without a key). Once inside, they groped for the light switch, stumbling over the broken heater, and flicked it. Nothing happened. Warren ran back to the fuse box and flipped several numbered switches before scorch- ing himself. The light came on; Jordan started scream- ing and ran out. Someone had removed the wad of paper which plugged the hole in the wall, and the wasps from the nest on the other side were pouring in, some crawling, some flying toward the door. Warren, summoning courage, grabbed the Flit Spray Gun, and after squirting Jordan ' s eyes and his own pants, frightened the wasps into a frenzy. They flew into an open drawer of the file cabinet, and Jordan slammed it shut. You imbecile, we ' ve got to get our copy sheets out of there! cried Warren. What copy sheets? You used them to plug the hole, said Jordan, smugly. 90 tJ ! L

PAPER STAFF Led by its Editor-in-chief Franklin Anderson, the 1965-1966 Owl ' s Hoof has crashed into its eleventh volume with five editions. The paper staff has created a new fad at MUS. This is the Junior class Trivia Test. The test was a flop this year due to the fact that the sophomore class invaded, and the Juniors quit. A new activity of the newspaper is the dedication of each edition to some member of the faculty or student body. On the lighter side are the April Fool edition and the mysterious Court Day. 92
