19 33 PP FQCIQI PTO A Story in Dfrug, Minor MOH! ZEA moon, she is so gran' in Sweden, I TONKA go home, cried Garbo coming over on the boat. ULMUS every seat was taken. Greta met the captain, who was standing on the bridge, and said, HALOE, old boy, where were you last night? The captain replied, Me AN-THE-MIS went for a walk -oh MANNA! what a girlaf' Suddenly there was a big crash, the boat rocked, people rushed for life-boats. The captain stood on the deck and shouted, SAB-OL women and children, the men can go to 'ell. AN-GE-LICA another high-ball, Pat was telling his friend at the time of the crash. A-CAC-IA run into Pat, tell him good-bye for mef' said the captain to his departing wife. Oh, mom! CAN-ELLA go along? , asked the captain's daughter of her mother. Try your SCILLA on this jig saw puzzle, said a mermaid to the women in the life-boat. Put down that gun or I'll throw the CAT-E-CHU, shouted Ella. When they reached land the captain's wife said, Let's CAMP-HOR-A day here and then go on.', When night came on, Ella told her brother to call Lyptus, the dog. Oh, EU-CAL-YPTUS yourself if you want him,', bel- lowed he. Pat and Abe had been swimming for their lives when suddenly Pat said, You go to your SENAGA-gue and Iill go to my church if we ever get back. They fortunately reached New York but were flat broke. Meeting their old friend Al, Pat interrogated, Say, AL-KANN-A guy get a dime for a cup of coffee? Al was kind-hearted and supplied their needs. After the cup of java, Abe said, SUM-BUL and some play pool, what will we do for recreation? I think I'll go horseback riding, exclaimed Pat. VVhen he returned later that evening, Abe asked, Did the horse BUCI-I-U? No, Said Pat, say, I saw Gula, you know, our old FRAN-GULA. Gula is an Italian, you know, so we stopped at an Italian restaurant, and he asked me, 'Do you LYCO-PODIUM?', Page One Hundred Twelve

1933 PREQCRIP1 O A Freshman Monologue OW that the Depression is here and all druggists are making their own ham sandwiches, the number of aspirants to the illustrious degree B.S. fplease do not invertj has this year greatly diminished. Our class consists of eighteen souls or thirty-six soles-yes, we still have our shoes. Of course, we are all ardent believers in that famous old saying about good things in small packagesg a Junior asks, what about poison? This, of course, is the most hand- some and intellectual group of individuals yet to wend their way across the beautiful tree dotted campus. One can readily note, however, the pallor on our faces as we face the new four-year stretch. As the term advances we become pale fpositivelyj, paler Qcomparativelyj, and when the finals come, palest fsuperlativelyj. In fact, after the finals we are regular palefaces and even Tangee won't help us. Think of those lucky devils who graduated before '25! Only two years of class skipping and cat napping for them! But then the previous students did not have the basic coursesi' we are receiving and we as Freshmen wish We didn't either. Wonder what the profs think. With such a course to begin with, and with eighteen members, in four years we should be reduced to nine members, which is a correct number for a basic ball team. We are told that pharmacy is not only one of the most ancient professions but most honorable as well. This brings to our minds the innumerable hard- Ware appliances cluttered in every corner of the modern drug store, but then the old apothecary used to raise frogs, so between having frogs that hop around and beer that has hops there is not so much difference after all.

1933 19'12I1SCRIP'1 O so I laughed and said, 'No, I like spagettf So we ate spagett. During the meal Gula got a coughing spell, and remarked in quite a perturbed state of mind, 'I'll ASPIDIUM up if he don't stay down.' We talked for about an hour and split up. When Abe and Pat had finished their supper, Abe said that he was going to buy a paper. USENNA boy after it, said Pat. When the boy returned with the news of the day, Pat yelled, Let me look at the funny PIPER. Just then, a strange baby came crawling in on the Hoor and tugged at Pat's pants leg. The baby looked up at Pat and asked, HKIN-O play wiff me? Pat answered with, PEP-O boo, I see you. So Pat went outside and started to make mud pies for the child but he didn't have any utensils. Abe, seeing the difficulty, remarked, SCOP-OLA dirt up with your hands. When Pat had finished, his clothes were all dirty, and he showed the dirt to Abe, who exclaimed, A-BRUS your clothes off and let's get goin'. Abe had a girl named Delia, and was telling Pat how he had taken her to the photographer some months ago to have her picture taken. At the photographers Abe had whispered, GRIN-DELIA, it won't hurt. As they proceeded down the street, Pat recognized whom he thought to be his sweetheart, and greeted her with, LO-BELIA, how's the girl?', But it wasn't Belia, it was her twin sister Anna. Anna corrected him saying, Belia is FARFARA way. Just then Anna's lisping brother came along and inter- rupted with, HANE-THUM home with me, the COP-TIS left, he was hunting for an ethcaped convict. Pa lent the CAR-DA-MOM thith morning and she never came back yet. With this, Pat became disgusted. and said, We don't care, it's HELL-E-BORUS with stuff like that, leave us alone. At this point we lost track of the boys as they hurried down the street. The next we heard of them they had signed up with a tramp steamer to con- tinue their experiences around the world.
