Never let it be said that a Miner works to the extreme; for after the slavery on the mountainside ceased, activities on the campus soon began in the form of hilarious contests and Dogpatch-Style races. The Daisy Mae and Li'l Abner style show terminated with the final decision going to bashful Don Ien- kins and amiable Iill Hooker. The ticticious HMammy, alias Judy Pe- terson, did her worst to see that her Li'l Abners were married to the right Daisy Mae's. Meanwhile Larry and Mac, in agreement to the con- cession with 'lMammy, helped ac- celerate the mass weddings with the use of calculus books as Bibles and shotguns as persuaders. The day came to a drastic close with the Daisy Mae's dragging the ex- hausted Li'l Abners across the finish line . . . or was it Vice versa? Marryin' Sam was afraid that his calculus book Bible would be left unopened for the lack of matrimonial ambitions among the contestants. However, as soon as he cut the regular dollar wedding to two bits, several Homry skonks go hitched. But Larry had a problem on his hands with trigamists Nancy Wilcox, Padde Schiemenz, and Anna lane Derrick. It seems that they had all three caught Raoul Negrette.

In November freshmen once again formed a broom and bucket brigade and whitewashed the big M an Mt. Franklin. Since 1923 the annual struggle between man and mountain has been going on, but on M Day man always wins out twith the help of the galst, and all the fish practically swim in lime and water before the job is over. And from the looks of freshman Winifred Buttrey's face, it looks as if she did try swimming. Work got the best of Shirley Kushner Who slacked off for awhile and took time out to read the Prospector. Some of the Muckers gathered around the cauldron to stir the lime, while others of them were lost in C1 lime storm. Keepers of the water wagon were Zeke, Bobby Kessel, and Dick Ernst, Who kept the freshmen busy on that end of the line.
