Finding myself overcome with an insane desire to write, I ' m going to state a few things that I detest, particularly about girls. 1. Lovesick girls — always sighing and talking mush. 2. Crooked seams in stockings. 3. Chain bracelets and bells on shoes — (remind me of the Pied Piper). 4. Those sweet young things — beautiful but dumb. 5. Foolish questions — purposely applied to attract teacher ' s attention — to let him know they ' re awake. 6. Too much cosmetics — Powder and paint make you look like what you ain ' t (Please excuse my English, Miss Fitzgerald). 7. Shoes without toes and heels — I ' ve really seen them ! 8. Long fingernails — Fu Manchu has rivals. 9. Those girls who establish a postal system in class. La dee da, dee da ! Dame fashion has now taken the football squad un- der her wing, or so it appeared when a young lady in Newswriting class spoke of a touchdown made by a 200-pound bone crusher as exquisite. HOW TRUE!— Barbara Darcey ' 40 There was a little girl and she had a little smile, She sent it to a little boy across a little aisle, He wrote a little note to her, but made a little slip, And they both went together on a little office trip. There was a little boy and he had a little test, He copied from his neighbor and he guessed at all the rest, Because they thought their History was just a lot of bunk, His paper and his neighbor ' s resulted in a flunk. There is a famous football team that always plays so square, There is a coach who knows his stuff, and treats his boys right fair, Combine the two, and see the light that truth right- fully impels, The coach is Coach McMahon and the team is good old Wells! Rah! Rah!

Dear Boys, Dear, dear, dear, boys! Roll down your trouser legs and lend an ear — your feminine superiors are about to inform you about a style which will affect your popularity in this day and age! Just a bunch of clam-diggers at heart! (want some sea-food mama?) That ' s what Mary Campbell has to say about the high-water breeches that seem to have taken your fancy of late. Jean Phillips wants to know if they are rolled in an attempt to expose your beautiful purple and green polkadot (or are they striped?) socks. Personally, I ' m wondering if those upturned cuffs aren ' t merely an excuse to display the shapeliness of your ankles! Do tell! Don ' t kid yourself into thinking you look ex- quisitely collegiate, warns pretty Nancy Goddu. You resemble grammar school kids outgrowing their first pair of long pants! At any rate, 80% of the high school belles, includ- ing such lovely damsels as Lucille Dubreuil, and Kay Trainer (heroines of the Senior Play, by the way) say Down mit the cuffer, Charlie! So, roll out the pants-legs, boys, and we ' ll put our blues on the run! YOUR EDITOR
