Notes of an Intellect on Interracial Conference Saturday Night 8:45 Huber, AI, Itoberta, and I got in about ten minutes ago. Just been up town and bad a lemon sundae witli chocolate nut sauce. Wow! Pretty good though. Berta got a lemonade. She almost paid twenty cents for it. Berta and I left our free literature in Marion's (the man we rode with) car this afternoon. He drove off in a cloud of dust while we were uptown, so we were desolate. Finally we found the property in a. corner on a coat. Then: We went back uptown. I didn't want to lug my new scarf, bunny mit tens, postcards, candy, and free lit, so I hid them behind a hedge and I put my stuff in Marion's car, which by that time had returned. We went merrily on our way up town. We went in a drugstore and ordered something and then rudely cancelled it. Oh, blushing jowls! NUMBER 4 Nunn and Wright To Star in Comedy By Philip W.

I was in agony for fear Marion had gone • off again carrying my precious mittens away. I rushed up to the ear and tried and tried to get in. The door was locked. I peeped in the win dow. My packages were gone. Then one of the girls pointed out the right car which was up ahead a few yards. I am how sitting on the fifth row from the back of Hood Building. One white person besides us for a radius of at least five rows. On the way uptown, I was in the act of giving Huber a juicy, passion ate kiss, when I banged my mouth against the temporal skull of her head. Merely knocked one tooth crooked and cut my upper lip a wee bit. Some girl just spoke. Berta and Huber are betting to see if it wasn't Esther Demeo. CContinued on Page Four)
