week-end to play a part in a Sale-

(Cole, Carr, Early, Sauvain, King,
Dobbins, McGehee, Boyd, Suiter),
are plotting heavily against the Tar

The Freshmen ar© just too cute
for their own good these days. Six
issues of the paper wouldn’t bo suf
ficient to cover even a fraction' of
what they did, but we can start now
and save what we don’t have time
for until a less exciting season. Al
most everyone had dates for the
dance who were obliging enough to
offer themselves for the game too:
Doris ffebel witfi the Davidson drum
ma.jor; laddie 'feaugjiam with .^lec
who showers her witli Carolina jew
elry; Irene Cooper with her Caro
lina Walter; Prances Neal with a
Durham man whose appreciation of
naU polish was a matter of pro
found'anxiety; Agnes Colcord with
Theodore, of course; Carlotta Carter
with Betsey Cooper’s Carolina Jbroth-
er; Lib Jackson with Harry of whom
Hino might not approve; and about
the best mess of the week-en4 was
Jane Morrow with Carolina lioi)ert
and Davidson JDick to be Jtorn be
tween . . . Betsy Cooper was elated
no end because her mother came
heh! hehl), and that Sammy was
here from Cincinatti was of secon
dary importance . . . Catherine Cress
and Jeanne fcowper double-dated' last
week-end, and consequently there
seems to toe a reversal in correspon
dence now ,.. Louise Miller was sub
ject to all sorts of exclamatory re
marks until she explained that he
was only her handsome brother ...
Phyllis Utley has lost all faith in
manhood at this point because one'
of her ex-admirers has became a
married man . . . And finally, if you
want to hear a grand story, ask
Agatha Walker to tell you about go
ing on a day’s visit to Grandmoth
er ’s and forgetting that the day end
ed on Saturday instead of on Sunday
night.
Now if you’re as sleepy from
reading this as I am from writing it,
we’re both ready to call it quits.
But save your strength — there’ll be
more next week! ' ' .
IN WHICH WE SEE THAT
KNOWLEDGE IS AC
QUIRED IN LITTLE
WAYS
By way of illustrating the mental
metamo^hosis brought about by
college Jife, we offer a few of tlie
points which contribute td''the crea
tion’of ^he well-roiinded'mind. No
inatter what course yoii may take,
you 'cannot graduate from'' talent
without knowing:
That chiiSTon streamers have no
place on a tennia court;
That bri’ck walks and high heels
are riot a '^rticutarjy happy com
bination;
Irh'at 'the condition of tjie banking
institution depends upon the credit
of the governmental bond;
That she who b“y3 saddle shoes
and buys also white shoe ^lish ^ a
snob'and an outcast; ' ’'
That the importMt fundamental
to remember' in the treatment of a
cold is IR-E-S-'^, 'Ewt; ‘
That as public writation number
one, mosquitos, termites, and small
gnawing animals are put completely
in the shade by that most loathed
of all man-made devices, the alarm
clock;
That during the feudal era, every
Polish noble’s dog’s tail wagged over
the estate of the PolislT noble* next
door.
And of late it has alao become
pretty definite that you’will also
know Hymn 591 in the Moravian
hymnal.

YOUR HOROSCOPE

November 18 - 24
Possessed of great tact, you
can have much good influence
over weaker persons if only you
will exert yourseif. You are ' a
hard and conscientious worker
when the labor interests yon. You
are, though, impatient of restraint
and hate interference, often
maicing mistakes through ignoring
good advice.

It seems that the editors tried to put out an unusually wicked number
(that mu^t have been sun»pin*I), an'd the Student Government objected.
Eesult: a bonfire. Commenj;; ;^ire to stop fire.
That Carlotta Carter “had something there” when she, wiping her
brow after a futile attack on her lessons, bemoane4 her fate and said,
“I knew I didn’t know much when I came here, but I didn’t know that
I didn’t know this much!”
(
That some of us are going to have to change our tune from ‘ ‘ Shoot
the Liquor to Me, John Boy’’which is archaic now to the latest tune
called “Shoot the Sherbet to Me, Herbert.” Jive,Yeh, Man!
’ ■ t
^hat J^Iiss E®ad told us ^he best joke we’ve heard a long time!
It seems that fbe joke originated on tfiis campus fpm Betsy Hobby, who
was sitting at a Park Band Concerj: ][>ehind two old ladies who were
^ving quite an argument over the Utje of t^e selection t>eing playe^
at that particular inoment. One insisted that it was an Air from iBee-
thoven, and the other maintained that it was “something” from Brahnu,
Since there were no programs one of the oJd ladies volunteered to go out
and find out what it was from the biU-board in the lobby. When she
came back slie said, “'We were both wrong, Letty. It was a BBFBAIN
FEOM SPI'ITING.” Of course, Betsy, must have jus.t laughed and
laughed, and laughed, ’cause she knew better'— she takes Muste Appre
ciation. ’■
That Miss McAnally hw a remarkable talent for fixing u]^ displays.^
Her original ideas and clever execution of them are evidencied in the
library tables these days in observance of Book Week.
That we have always wondered at the rather copious notes which
Mrs. Eandojph takes on class. Now we’ve solved the myste^j and intro
duce to you Salem’s newest writer of S^illers for I^ewssheets:
I
Cause and effect she’s always linking;
A neat and tidy mind she }ias; with cafe
{^he pidgQon-Wles her thinking.
A prognosis she ^ks of a love affair.
t
He says “It’s .been a lovely night,
A perfect time, complete and whole and ended.”
But days and days will she cajole
“S’ore'vier be this rare delight eitended.”
Most women always stretch the soul?
That we havei never Jteard such wails and moans as surrounded the
Annual Office when the proofs were handed out. AU we can say is that
it must be a sign of conceit for people to be so disappointed in their
own linages. Or on the other baiiid are all those exclamations merel^
attempts at mode«ty? ,
That the faculty is at it again 2Ir. }lcEwen asked a girl iJ
class if the necklace she ha^’ on wasn’t from the ten-cent store. He had
the grace to blush, however,' when she haughtily replied'that it came
from the Fiji Islands.

As I stumbled over the bricks, I
looked down at my new Jress and
jacket and at that unmistakable
sign of spring, shiny new saddle
shoes; I felt as bright and glisten
ing as the ew' ivy budding on the
Sister’s House and the varicolored
l)lossoms in the pansy bed. I
smoothed my new permanent with
one hand, reached in my jacket
pocket for a letter with the other,
and, unconcerned that I had not
studied for my three classes, I hur
ried to breakfast.
I look at my watch. 8:10 a. m.
I do have to turry. As I stumble
ncrosa the bricks, I glance down the
driveway at the mist over the hockey
'ield and bury my head further in
the collar of my coat. Something
crackles underneath my foot. It is
a brown shrunken leaf. TJgh! How
dirty these saddle shoes are! I
struggle with my icy fingers to r»-
tie the knot of my kerchief. I feel
disappointed in something I dreamed
last night. Now I remember; I
thought spring had come.
It was their first target practice.
The officer had worn his army pa
tience thin over these guardsmen.
They just would not fire volleys. In
disgust he finally bellowed, “Fire at
random.” A rookie from Duck Hill
yelled: “Which one is he?’>
Early to bed and early to rise

“It’s better to be a houn’ dog
. r I.'* . / • . .'f ► . ^ ttif.' I'r
than a rabbit,” swd QV Sf?®®
to Li’l Abner wlien ^bner wfmted
to find a way to keep from being
caught on Sadie Hawkin’s Day. And
he’s right aiiout the matter, too. You
know, you could save yourself car
loads of trouble by taking 01’ Man
Mose’s advice. You may think that
just because he’s an ignorant' old
mountaineer that he doesn’t know
what he’s talking about, but he has
plenty of wisdom tucked away un
der his shaggy hair.
“But how can that proverb apply
to me?” you mi^ht ask.
I’ll show yoii. What do you do
when you haven’t had time to study
any of yourhomework? You ^rob-
ably go up to your teacher and tell
her (or him^, “Oh, IJiss Kno-w^an,
I just had so much to do that I
haven’t had time to study my lesson
today.’ ’ Or you migiit just sit there
with a stupid expression on your
face arid wait for her to find it out
—believe you me, young lady, that’s
one sure way of being called on to
recite.
Now what you ought' to do is to'
put tbat brain to work and “beat:
iier to the draw’' (as Rickey Eooney
would say), ^on’t give her a
chance to'ifind out just how little you
do know. "ITie bwt' way to avoid
this misfortune is tp ask her ques
tions before she ^as a chance ,to ask
you — to pester ier’ tefore^ ste can
pester you. If you Have five riiin-
utes before class it might ,be well to
make a list of questions to spring on
her. But for Pete’s sake don’t let
her know you are doing it purposely.
You can, if you are'skillfull enough,
spend an entire period just 'by ask
ing her questions, and she won’t
have time to give you' that pop test
she had planned or to make you
translate.
A still better way of putting off
the evil moment is io find out what
is the instructor’s pet subject — all
teachers have one — and you can be
sure that nine times out of ton she’d
>-ather spend a period talking about
something that she likes outside
class than about the lesson, wliich is
likely to be boring. And I’d advise
you to Usten to these digressions,
00, because you never know just how
eccentric a teacher is apt to be and
just what question »he will ask on
the exam.
This adage can help outside of
class, too. You’ve probably had ex
tremely annoying moments (to
speak mildly) when you discovered
that someone had borrowed your
comb or your lipstick and forgot to
return it or misplaced it. You can
cure them of this habit pretty quick
ly (particularly you SWu£h Hallians).
All you have Jo do is borrow from
them first'— paper, pencils, ink,
fountain pen, jSoOks, aiiytliirig yoil
can find. Take all of 'your thin^
home where they’ll be safe and theii
sponge on somebody else before slie
gets a chanee to do the same to youl
Kow can’t you see how much safer
arid iiow'much'more fun it is to be
a houn’ dog tliari a rabbit^ (J>r^is itf

you’re the last man I expect to
marry.
