Ha! And girls think they’re so smart! Always -going around bragging (they try to give the impression that they’re complain ing) about having to wash and ii'on clothes, sweep, mop, and wax the floors, yak, yak, yak! And alll 'the time they act as ii we fellows don’t have enough sense to do these things for our selves! Well, I reckon we showed them, huh, fellows? Well, did ve or didn’t we?! During these first weeks of school at Brevard Tech, we have washed '-and ironed our own ccithes, swept, mopped, and wax ed our own rooms, and kopt trrxk oj" cur clothcs far bi .^cr than any girls could do it! Right, fellows? Well, am I right?! You don’t believe me, girls? All right, look at the facts: after our first week’s washing, nearly all of us fellows had a coll'eictiion of 'beautiful, multicolored clothes; if you have a white shirt you don’t like many more, stick it in the im'achine (monster) with 'pair of black pants, and presto! You have a beautifully colored shirt! Smart, huh? Why couldn’t you girls have thought of that?! Now ironing thia clothes is a different m'atter! It may ta-ke a little practice for us fellows to catch on to that — but it promises to be igreat fun! — There’s one -thing that ptuzzles me, though — Wherlsi do those li'ttle yeU'Ow spots come from? On a sport shirt, they look pretty good, but on- a White shirt, they don’t look so hot — that is, un less you have a tie that matches them. Why aretheslahandages on my hand, you say? Well, that iron does geit pretty hot at times, dioesn’t it? But it’s onHy -a small fcuirn — I’ll probaMy 'he able to use this hand again in another Attention Students! Anyone interested in piay. a musical instrument please contact Mr. Cousins. six weeks or so. Oan we mop?! Why sure, and wl&’ve developed a pretty good system for that, too. Just throw a litte water on the floor, sweep it out the door into the haU, along with all the trash or dirt , that might happen to be on the floor, and presto! You’ve done two jobs 'at once — swsipt and mopped! Girls are sure dumb, not to think of something like that! — So who cares about the water in the hall — we don’t sleep in the hall, do we?! Well girls, satisfied now? Well, good. And remetanber, any. thing girls can do, boys can do better! Oh, by the way, does anyone know of a maid Who would be willing to do simple chores, such as washing and ironing clothes, sweeping, mopping, and waxing?
