THE DOME Einar---191'-H - Asleep on the Deep Or, The High School ffero f fs .0Q,5,r- - HERE comes a time in all men's careers when all restraint is thrown off, when students who have been brought up Fi fD N .r a rw f in nice homes forget ll their surroundings and indulge their emotions. Such an occasion was now making history in N, , ,e W tl I. :91,nffm.:x 23. if Y 1, -W - em, 3,iQfijI,f. : ?J':p'f .f the high-school auditorium. The nice, well-bred students stood, and, regardless of the fact that it might bounce back, Hung lustily a succession of cheers to the roof. The occasion? As they say in the Arabian Nights,- Know, O Gentle Reader, that Willie Winkle had just rebutted, and when he rebutted it was a sound for sore ears. Not only was his re- buttal a triumph in logic, an epic of rhetoric, mind you, but - Well, Willie not only rebutted good, but he rebutted loud. When he hurled masterly, rounded phrases, innuendoes, invec- tives, and whatjs all, people came from miles around. At the sound of Willie's inspired voice full grown babies wept like men. ln fact, no debate was termed a complete success if less than forty babies were led from the hall soaked with tears of bliss. And so on this night Willie had out-Willied himself. His team had been losing, and he had been their only hope. His cold, undaunted voice had led the team to triumph. With a shy smile he had sat down, and, watching the opposition chew its hnger-nails with a defeated look in its eyes Cwhich proves their caliber, itis dilhcultl, waited for the judges to return their decision. Finally they returned, and proclaimed Willie's team the winners. Then he arose, and to his enthusiastic, con- gratulatory team-mates said modestly, 'C Why, aw, shucks, fellas, there was nothing to it. Shyly he said, c Why, pshaw, you fellas did most of it.', Taking his hat, with a blush he edged his way through the happy crowd. He sought as well as he rebutted. He soon found a shy, sim- ply but tastefully dressed little girl that he knew to be Mary Merton. It had long been bruited about the Spanish Club and the Girl Reserves meetings that Willie and Mary had, in the parlance, a M mutual crush. This is not to be confused with the Greeks' orange crushfi fThe Greeks' orange crushes are awesome, to say the least, however.l Mary looked shyly up from under her beau- tiful eyelashes, and said with becoming modesty, H You were wonderful, Vvillie. You were cute.'7 Willie's embarrassment was obvious. He drew a figure 8 on the floor with his toe. H Aw, Mary, he said, M er, aw, shucks. Letis go get a soda. With a coy laugh Mary assented. She said, U Yes, Williefi and naively tal-:ing his arm they walked out. They walked up to Ye Olde Breakfast Nook. When they had entered, Willie almost wore out his arm waving to proud friends. After they were seated, a waiter, who looked dubious, ap- preached. With becoming modesty Willie ordered. 4' Two small cokesg gargonf'
