(Contributed.) The head of Dr. Darby, building ' secretary of 105, is mostly bald, as is the cake with most or the heads of that building. Sully isn't bald, but was terribly worried all week for fear that the whore force at 105 would be quarantined for the awful malady so that .he would have to miss school. The Hebrew welfare workers, as well as the K. of C., have a new "lizzie." and betwixt and between them It has been a constant dodge for the rest of us. Wouldn't it be best if^we all coulrf get a pass until they were past the learning stage. Mr. W. T. Thompson, religious work director of the "Y," made a big hit at I 105 on Thursday night. He always! says the right thing at the right time, I and the fellows like him. Another I thing you will find out about him, fel- ! lows, he is "some" afnlete, plays | football, baseball, volleyball, basket-, . ball, and anything else a man is sup-1 I posed to know how to plya??nd pin . ? j better than the rest of us. f1Bixby' s Mi Sf ?
