JOSH-N (Continued, fr have things really jumping for a change. BUT . . . Drunks . . . BUT then we come to the drunks. To be drunk is to "be excited or exhilirated under the influence of some alcoholic beverage." There fore anyone who has had enough to be "feeling high" or "good" (as the more colloquial terminology would have it) is, in my estima tion, drunk not "dead drunk," mind you—just plain drunk! Last year we had some who got drunk once or twice and sang and went boisterously around—and not many thought much of it. However, so far this year I know for a fact of three such instances—and suspect several more. A couple of times these young "exhilirated" gentle men were so gracious as to sere nade the other sleeping (?) gen tlemen at one or two in the wee hours. Now, a sermon on the evils of drink will not follow. Such an argument would get us nowhere. And I definitely don't want to be a kill-joy or a "party-pooper"—but the fact remains that I'm "agin it!" And that's where I'll drop it. There are also many other signs of our new attitude toward things which I won't go into. Soda Shop Seeks Change In SC Dance Location The Soda Shop will put in a bid with the Social Committee to have the site of the weeknight dances moved from the gym to the Soda Shop's Lounge. Bob Wall, chair man of the committee, said that he -would favor such a move, but that the entire committee would have to pass on it. Miss Mildred Marlette, faculty adviser for the committee, said that the only difficulty that existed as far as she knew was the question of whether there would be enough space in the lounge. She also stated that it would mean moving the rec ord player from the gym each night there is dancing, as it must be kept locked up. She continued that she would not oppose the move, how ever, if those conditions could be worked out. ir —-—-— .......... - ~ Personalized LIFE INSURANCE Service Wm. H.

Just in case you slept through it all, here is a partial pictorial re view of what happens to a lowly freshman when he forgets his job of shining shoes! Here, we see a freshman being led to "Court," part of the procession to serenade the girls, with one of the Judges help ing lead, and even a shot of the girls on Hobbs' porch, enjoying the show. Somebody said it rained that night! Funny most folks would tell you that the stars were shining brightly!—(Photo by Cox). -ALONG ... ■om I'age Two) "Don't tell me!" At this point it would be too il logical for you to say to yourself, "Now don't tell me that you led ; me over all of that stuff just to say . that some guys have been drink ing a lot and disturbing the peace, and that you're 'agin it'!" If you say that and let it drop there, you ! will be missing the whole point. The "drunk" subject is not the ' thing to which everything else was leading up. It is only part of all the rest of it, and the entire thing is to be taken as a whole (Gestalt, you know!) There are other things of similar nature which show changes in our behavior. I believe it advisable that we think this whole thing over and then examine carefully our selves to see whether we've slipped and if so what can be done about it. This is not a condemnation or a piece to be read and then for gotten. It is a study of a situa tion. I hope this sets in motion some gears in our heads 'cause this is one thing I'm not joshin' about.
