A DAY BEFORE
AN EXAM
3:00 P. M. — “Well, what do you
think, roomie? Shall we finesse’ em,
or shall we give it a try?”
“Jane, you know we’ve put this
off long enough. We’ll just put the
‘Do Not’ up and study for at least
three hours this afternoon and then
most of the night.”
“0. K., you win—never let it be
said that Jane backed away from
a challenge, and believe me—this
Chemistry is a real challenge.”
“You think you’ve got it rough.
I heard by the famous grapevine
that last year somebody studied
twenty-five hours for that Biology
exam and still came out with a rip
—roaring 30!”
“Oh Mary, what am I going to
do? Fin failing Chemistry as it is,
and if I don’t pass this exam I am
afraid I won’t be invited back next
year.” Let’s hit the books.
7:00 P. M. — “Jane, I’m starv
ing—why didn’t we go to supper?”
“Can’t do, dear. If I’m going to
study for this exam, I’m going to
do it all the way. Don’t talk to me,
it might disturb my train of
thought.”
1:00 A. M. — “Mary, bring out
the No-Doz. I suddenly feel a yawn
coming on.”
“They’re on the desk, dear. I’m
right in the middle of titration, and
I just can’t tear myself away.”
“I’ve got ’em, you want one?”
“Thanks, I could use one, I usu
ally get a little drowsy at this time
of morning.”
3:45 A. M. — I cannot stand
another minute of this. It violates
everything I’ve believed in since
I’ve been here. You know me,
Bridge Playing Jane.”
“We should get a little sleep, I
guess, but I’m afraid I’ll forget
something in my sleep.”
“No sweet, if you do, yon can
memorize it again in the morning.”
“0. K. Good Night.”
“Right — wake me up in the
morning.”
7:30 A. M. — Jane, JANE,
You’d better hurry. It’s time for
breakfast.
“Oh go away, I don’t have any
])oints—maybe I could —
“NO, Come on lazy, you’ll need
nourishment.”
“All right, I’m coming.”
8:45 A. M. — Well, I guess we’d
better go. “Good luck, Jane.”
“Same to you Mary, see you
later.”

SAGEBRUSH SUE
SAYS—
Dear Sagebrush Sue,
I am a day student at St. IMary’s
and am veiy happy. I get along
well with everybody and have but
one problem. I ride to and from
school with a friend of mine and she
is the source of my problem. She
loves to play bridge especially
when she comes back from riding
on Alonday afternoons, but I want
to go home by that time. How can
I cure her of this?
Griped Gail
Dear Griped,
It always rains on the unloved. I
suggest that you take the cards
from the room and get everybody
out for some reason or other so
when your friend returns there will
be no one to plav! Good Luck!
S.S.
Dear Sagebrush Sue,
My problem may be small to you
but to me it is a major source of
heartbreak. My life at school for so
long was wonderful. I had no com
petition and was alwaj’S with some
one; more often several someones.
I was constantly on their minds and
dear to the hearts of all. They con
stantly fed me, and I fed them in
return; when I was sick, everybody
was heartbroken. Then one day
‘she’ came on the scene, and now it
is a fight to keep my head up.
Everyday there is a mad rush to get
to her. I don’t want to create a
scene, but what can I do?
Coke Machine
Dear Coke,
Sooner or later even the best of
us lose out on a monopoly. How
ever, I hear from jn'etty good
sources, namely Johanna Adler,
Sugar Combs, and Ruthie Johnson,
that your popularity has not
dwindled one bit. In fact you could
say that it has increased if any
thing. Ice Cream IMachine seems
to make j^eople thirsty so Beverly
Ydcker, Betsy Beckwith, !Mary
Alice Hayes, and Phiney Huntt tell
me. However, if you want to cut
down on her business, give bent
nickles as change.
S.S.
Dear Sagebrush Sue,
I am madly in love with a boy
whom I have been dating for a long
time. He is a wonderful person, but
at times his apparent immaturity
overwhelms me. How can I get Tom
to quit bringing his rattles with
him on our dates?
Bewildered Judy
Dear Bewildered,
You have a problem that may
take some time to correct. Maybe
you could start out by delivering
an ultimatum to him—either you
or the rattles. He may leave for a
wliile, but sooner or later he will
return. Rattles break; vou don’t.
S.S.
Dear Sagebrush Sue,
My jiroblem deals with the one
tiling in life that keeps it from be
ing dull, uneventful, and happy—
iMEN! i\Iy man goes to Duke, and
he plays football. Recently he has
completely forgotten who I am and
calls me by all sorts of names such
as “Punt”, “Return Kick”. “Ground
Gainer”, and others of that nature.
How can I stop him of this?
Confused Kit
Dear Confused,
Turn about is fair play so you
might call him names associated
with bridge such as “Pass”,
“Trump”, “Charlie” (for Mr.
Goren). The last should bring some
sort of response since his name is
Jack! Good luck, and let me know
what the outcome is.
S.S.
Dear Sagebrush Sue,
I am a young girl usually fat and
happy, but I have one fault. The
other week-end I was at a basket
ball game with my date, and a
friend of mine came up to speak to
me. I went to introduce my date
and said that I wanted my friend
to meet Dick —. However, that
created a panic because my date’s
name was Dave. What can I do to
quit making such boo-boos?
Out-to-lunch Anne
Dear Out,
First I suggest that you bring
your lunch with you so you can
keep on the ball at all times. Then
you might try writing his name on
the palm of your hand, sort of a
ready-reference style. If that
doesn’t work, you might try ask
ing him to pin his name on his
lapel. Lots of luck!
S.S.
If you have a problem for Sage
brush Sue, send it to her in care of
the bulletin board in the day stu
dents’ room.
BEWILDERED
SENIORS
Some underclassmen have un
doubtedly heard the Seniors mut
tering strange verses under then'
breath as they scuddle from class
to class. Here is an example of one
bewildered Senior’s statement:
While Dick the shepherd blows
his nail
The gentle !Muse is pricking tho
meadow
Painted with cuckoo-cuds and
and cockled snail,
While Lycidas sits brooding
the snow.
Then roasted crabs hiss in the
bow!
Subtle as !Milton, who plucks
berries crude,
M hile sing the cuckoo bird and
staring owl
Kill Claudio! with forced fingei’S
rude.
The quality of mercy is not
strawned.
It dropeth like the Sisters of the
sacred will
Ycladd in youthful hose with
armor stained
Which from beneath the seat oi
Jove doth swell.
So chants the shining school giU
weary.
Mocking IMilton, Spenser and
Shakespeare: Cuckoo,
To Whit, Cuckoo,
O word of Fear.
Unpleasing to the teacher’s ear.
Editor’s note: The seniors aren
crazv—^just brain-washed.
