Kicking, blocking, passing, running, Plays that call for Lrawn and cun- ning, Determination in yours eyes- Hero' sturdy, brave and wise! Noses broken while in action Only add to your attraction. Opposing teams seem cruel, outrag- eous- Hero sturdy and courageous. Off the field, after the game, Casanova's put to shame. Sure as when the line you're crash- ing, You're a hero-bold and dashing! Crowds may laud you, cheering loudly, School spirit upholding proudly, But this, before the last amen, Immortal hero-we knew you when. Tomm Taftite Struts His Stuff By Monsieur Robert Smith Standards such as white and brown shoes, saddle or otherwise, fingertip coats, blue slacks, and multi-colored loafer coats are still to be seen on the campus. As winter approaches, summer sport shoes will gradually be re- placed by heavy brogues in medium or chocolate brown. To set off this somber footgear, hose manufactur- ers are going to town with such styling as pebble grain, the ever popular stripes, and light shades of solid colors. Pin Stripes Popular In the trouser line solid blues and browns with pin stripe or sim- ple pattern are still fashionable, but rough tweeds or gray flannels are really out in front in popularity. For dress the three-buttoned, sin- gle-breasted suit is the most pop- ular. Extra special events call for a double-breasted blue in herring- bone or chevron pattern. For school wear plaid flannel shirts are popular. For dress white, solid blue, brown, and blocked ef- fects are most widely worn. Belts Invite Luxury Tax Belts and suspenders have sprung out in glass with gold plated buck- les on the belts and gold plated metal parts on the suspenders. New- est thing in belts is a tooled leather number with western styling and silver buckle. Gabardine and corduroy have been put to use in the manufacture of fingertip coats many of which are rainproof.
