And are those lockers shiny, but how long will it last? You know the freshmen don't seem so bad. Theyire green. but they're growing fapologies to Maurice Murphyj. 7-I've decided it is the same old schoolg The Times campaign has started. Wouldnlt it be grand if everyone would just plunk down his three two-bits without having those agents on his neck for about six weeks. 15-At last we know how The Times is made up. That assembly certainly showed why The Times is the paper it is. 16-Did you see the unveiling of the Lincoln sta- tue? My, how those Sea Scouts maneuvered around to get in the picture! 17-Have we a football team or have we a football team? It sorta, seems we have. At least the boys certainly pulled a few feathers out of the Columbia City Eagles. 35-6, not bad. 21- All ashore that's going ashore, cried Jim Savage, and the Travel Club started its tour of Eng- lishaspeaking countries. And by the way, did he ever give us the real reason of hanging on the rail when we hit that storm. 22-Autumn is here. and the only way it is cele- brated around here is by an executive meeting of the Parent-Teachers' Association. fplagiarism is a great dean.j 24-Miss Patterson today explained the most sen- sitive spot on the ankles, so the girls can Put their opponents out of the hockey game easily. And I'1l bet she pointed out that it might come in handy sometime on a date. Shucks, though, we're not all that bad. 26-Wo-Ho-Ma held open house. But that is only a name, or for some reason or other they wouldn't let Bob Pettit fpansyj in. 27-Rifle Club holds first meeting of the year. They have some of their crack shots back this year, so they ought to have a successful season. I know I'd hate to stand up and have some of those fellows start throwin' lead at meg so here,s to 'em. 27--Oh, unlucky day. The Totem staff was an- nounced. Little did we know then what we were getting into. 29-Today the What-Not Club decided to give off sunshine by being a member of the Sunshine Club. With Marie Butler belonging to it, how can it be other than a Sunshine Club? 29-Behold! South Side,s authors will write a novel this year. It certainly ought to be good with Mr. Makey and the rest of those young budding geniuses behind it. Watch for the first installment in The Times. 30-Ah me! The first wench-whirling of the year. And were they whirled? Say, I thought my shoes were polished when I went up to that cafeteria. 102
