THE GAGBAG {Being the brighter side of College lifcQ “How is it that you are late this morning?” asked Mr. Merrill as Rachel again walked into Biology class late. “I overslept,” said Rachel. “What!” exclaimed the dumbfound ed scientist, “Do you sleep at home too ” Sutton (in the little jernt across the street): “Say, this stew is terrible. What do you call it.?* That cute blonde waitress: “The cook calls it enthusiastic stew.” Sutton (Sutton-like) “Naw!” Said blonde: “Yeah! He puts every thing he has into it.” Burton K. (?): “Listen, barber. I’ll never get to class at the speed you are shaving me. You hold the razor still, and I’ll waggle my face.” (Please laugh). Keith; “I’ve got the most wonderful family tree.” She who has been listening for hours: “And what are you, the sap?” Weddle (stopping the car): “Now here’s a beautiful spot overlooking the lake.” Bright little Jane: “Where’s the lake?” Little sunshine Weddle (better known as Lollypop): “Er-a, that’s what is overlooked.” The Biltmore College dramatic club will be known as the “Masqueteers’ in the future. For the past year the club has used the name “Masque- morons.” However, due to the objections to the name from various sources, the club members voted to change to the new name at their meeting Thursday, November 18. MISS NINA WILLIAMS EN TERTAINS WITH PARTY Miss Nina Williams gave a Thanks giving party at her home last Wednes day night, with about fifteen guests attending. Refreshments were served and dancing was enjoyed. EXCHANGE “The taxpayers do not need a break. They are already broke.” —LEE HI MIRROR. A dumbell has one advantage—he lever lets his better judgment run iway with him. —BAY HIGH SCHOOL. Stranger: “Lived here all your life?” Native; “I don’t know; I haven’t died yet.” Diner; “O waitah, waitah, I say, there’s a splinter in my cottage cheese.” Waiter: “Well, mister, what did you ;xpect, the whole cottage?” —THE CENTRAL DIGEST. A professor was trying to keep order in a very noisy class of young men. “Gentlemen, order!” The class as a whole; “Beer!” —THE SEABREEZE. “That’s my brother, and he thinks he is a ghost. He was going around this morning singing “I Ain’t Got No Body.” —THE SALEMITE. Teacher: “Is pants singular or plural?” Pupil; “Singular at the top and plural at the bottom.” —THE SEABREEZE. Teacher; “I love, thou love, he, she, it loves; we love, you love, they love.” Pupil: “What a heck of a triangle this is going to make.” ETTA’S BEAUTY SHOP 22 WALL ST. JUST PLAIN TALK By Tony And from way back I remember reading this: “I do not like you Dr. Fell The reason why I cannot tell But only this I know full well I do not like you Dr. Fell”. The icy glare that George Smith gives one . . . Alston’s denseness . . . The amateur quips of “Mischief-Mak- ing-Mary” . . . Will Weddle’s opinion of himself . . . Christine Ponder’s shy ness . . . some would call Jane Smath- ers “lush” (j once knew a punch drunk prize-fighter named Smothers) . . . one school of thought has it that Jim Keith is an introvert—i. e. the same school thinks Carrie Nation was an “It” girl. Workjng a jig-saw puzzle: Lucile Tandy uses makeup in an inconsistent manner—that is rouge and lip-stick are applied only on date days. - Sleuthings The titian Andy Sutton meets at his lunch hour is a half-sister who has just recently moved to Ashe ville. Cynicah Does Joe Self bore you too? Poeticah Some mistake the “Towne Club” for Hounde Club. Here and theres Why do the Wilt- more sub-Debutantes (Freshmen) wilt when Leroy Love stalks to and fro.’' Jo Jones is highest salaried student at Biltmore. Johnny Lominac is known to. his cohorts as “Jelly” because of his many hours interned at Eckerd’s. Eileen Smith is really smart but a h'it on the lazy side. Do you dislike foreign movie actors, and singers too? Not only that, but I thought “Stage Door” with Rogers and Hepburn was a litle vague . . .Maybe it was the mood. Do these ancient titles leave you with a whiff of lost thoughts and loves: “The music goes round-and-round”; “Knock, Knock, who is there”; ‘The lovebug”; and “The merry-go-round broke down”? THE CRITIC’S CORNER By George SMrrH According to the general concensus of opmions from the insiders. Cosmetic Atmosphere is a good play; but, it is one which requires skillful presenta tion and careful timing to get the most out of its laughs. With almost two weeks of rehearsal left, the Masqueteers are confident that they will give us real entertainment on the night of Decern^ her 10. Most of the Masqueteers and the Eeta Bita Pi girls attended the free pre sentation of Maxwell Anderson’s Win terset, given by the dramatic students of Black Mountain College under the direction of Mr. Wunch, on Saturday evening, November 27. Apparently every one liked the play, which was very ably done. The casting was ex cellent with every one from the absent- minded judge to the poor half-wit fit ting his part well, while the exceptional scenery was unusually good. In spite of the old Jew’s lack of face lining and youngish voice. Garth’s rather - hard - to - understand voice, Miriamne’s eye-popping, the general way every one turned his back to any one speaking to him or to whom he was speaking, and the fuse blowing out in the last minute, the play was a whole success. Finally, we should like to comment on the fact that this play, located in the tenements of New York and scoring capitalism for its selfish venability and injustices, was acted by the sons and daughters of capitalists who can affoid to pay $1500 yearly for their educa tion. Possibly Mr. Wunch ironically selected this play, hoping to teach his students a social lesson; but we thiuk it unlikely that that side was considered in making the choice. Other improvements we woukl hke to suggest are: signs directing us ':o the college, more light for reading the programs, and son-ie sign indicating when to appplaud.
