STUDENTS BOW TO FAOULTY

to escape the ball and politely say
ing, “after you.” Aggie Brown
also figured largely in the first pe
riod play, largely on the floor. While
Killer urged his team on and ex
plained further intricate plays lo
them during the minutes between
quarters, the student team lay pros
trate on the floor . . . completely
exhausted from trying to keep up
with the lightning-like pace set by
their elders.
The second quarter saw only two
faculty substitutions, both of which
were short lived. Miss Turlington
skipped out on the court in true
championship form to play several
minutes of inspiring handball. Pit
ter-Patter Byrd played a good game
too . . . she spent her whole playing
time winding up to run. There was
something about her which was just
vaguely reminiscent of the ten-
thirty limited on a greased track.
In the breath-taking third quar
ter Killer, just to keep from getting
stale in one spot, switched to guard
position. The three guards (Killer,
Ifm-Pea-Gireen and Sneak-Em-In)
then did a nice job of hedging in
any poor student who happened to
get the ball; and by sleight of hand
(sometimes referred to in wrestling
as jui-jitsu), retrieved the ball and
sent it spinning down to their own
forwards.
In the final period ,the faculty
had the score sewed up from the
beginning. Like fiiery colts; they
stumbled, charged, clipped, under
cut, and battled in a one-point lead.
At this stage in the game, they were
so over-wrought that they savagely
slashed students down and by
sheer treachery managed to have
the floor, cleared fori blind shooting.
About five minutes before the
whistle, the whistle blew . . . end
ing the game 24-23.
one so completely? After three |
years of hard school work (we
aren’t sure this applies to Ceil)) \
when they have almost reached their
goal, why did they suddenly drop
everything and join the United
States Army? |
There may be some who didn’t
read about Cell’s and Mary Eliza-
beth’s incredible venture, but surely
there is no one who hasn’t heard
of the article which jumped into
print in Friday morning’s Journal |
— plus photographs of the new pub- ,
lication editors. It was entitled)
“New Occupational Draft Blanks
Are Described Here,” and the first
paragraph read: “Miss Cecili» '
Nuchols of Charlotte, and Miss Mary ^
Elizabeth Hand sent to all February
16 draft registrants—together with
information on how they are to b®
utilized — were received by the i
Forsyth local boards yesterday.”
Well! We admit that patriotism !
is a good thing as long as it is kept
within* reasonable limits, but isn’t
this straining things a little?
How could Ceil and Mary Lib be
sent to all February 16 draft regiS' ■
trantsf and what on earth are they
good for, anyway? (This was sliP'
ped over the censor’s shoulder, who
— it happens — is one of the future
editors). ;
Well, the whole thing was awfully I
baffling to those who keep posted on
the news. Quoth the dean, “It’s ,
bad publicity for the school . . bad
publicity (For actual sound effects,
see Pinky Harrison or KatherinO
Manning). Quoth Ceil, “All these
telephoned applications from Feb
ruary 16th registrants are about to ,
floor me.” Quoth the next morn
ing’s paper. “It was all a mis
placed linotype slug.” Well — s®
