Qisssss1sLx:isc,,.im:mw.: .me BRAWNY BOZOS You CAN ALWAYS SAY, mAh, there goes a Hue hunk of a man when you see a Letterman walk down the hall sporting his big red letter P upon a black sweater. And indeed they are, for all members of the Leterman's Club have obtained a varsity letter in either football, basketball, or baseball. And it takes a hunk of a man to play those sports.

AMONG THE smart little plays the dramatics classes have put on this year is this melodrama Fatal Quest. The quest, so small it's strange to believe it was so devastating, was the search by the duke for the Prin- cess' beautiful angora kitten. The Duke finds it all right, but when he returns and the king refuses him the hand of his daughter, he unsheathes his sword and kills the king. And so it goes, the queen dies of grief, the duke takes poison, and the princess dies from mental strain. Boy! that fatal quest surely was fatal! tain , Xlifinifred Burton, the princess 5 Bette Dillard, the queen , Al DeFoor, the king, Patrick Coffee, the duke.
