4 THE TWIG n; WANTED Some walking canes to keep Pauline Kitchin and Margaret Craig from sit* ting down on Fayetteville street. A recording secretary to record Mabel Bagby’s weather reports. She really is a wonder when It comes to predicting rain. Some more collapsable chairs for Mabel Claire Hoggard and Mary Rodwell Hunter. A way to get to the Duke-State game. Pauline—That good-looking boy from the boarding-house kept smiling at-me at the theatre last night. Nervy, I call it! Margaret Craig—Really? Where was he sitting? Pauline—Oh, just behind me! "I suppose you want to marry a girl as near like your mother as possible." “No, I’m going to marry an old-fash ioned girl! ” JUMORS IVIN CUP riBST TIME IN HISTORY Elizabeth—Is your physician helping you to reduce?” Helen Phelps—I think so.

Black—You’re wanted on the tele phone. White—Tell the party that I’m tak ing a bath. Black—I did, but he wouldn't believe it. White—I’d better answer it; It must be somebody that knows me well. Louise to Hotel Clerk—A room for the night, please. Clerk—Do you have a reservation? Louise—What do you think I am, an Indian? Marguerite—Yes, he strongly disap proved of my frock.

This is but one of the many talks Dr. Brewer and the four-minute speakers have made in the various churches of the stato. (Continued from page one) and found one of the boys reading an English History. He told his visitors that “old Henry” was “some shiek” and that he really knew the game of “give and take”— give away his old wife and take a now one the next day. Happening to pick up a “Funny Paper,” one of the visitors suggested that “Tillie, the Toiler” would have given old Henry a fit. Then the visitors left and the reader went to sleep with “Feature Henry in Mae’s shoes I” In the next scene which was laid in the Royal Gardens, Henry VIII came in from his usual round of golf and found his lords and ladies at tea. His manner of speech was very modern, and he brought out the fact that he played the saxa* phone because he had read an ad vertisement in a magazine, which promised that being able to play a saxaphone was a sure key to the door of popularity; and he very definitely stated in a song to the Lords and the Ladies that he had ah’eady entered that door. The Lord's and Ladies replied to his song and their reply indicated that they failed to agree with him and hence they made their departure, leaving the King to pon der over the fact that all the girls “fell so hard,” for him (perhaps this is one point where he was very like modern men). One by one he dis cussed his six wives and their violent affections for him. Then in a sort of day dream each of the dead wives drifted before him, each singing a little ditty which told of her fate as queen. The Lords and Ladies re entered and joined in a chorus which stated that Henry used “It” to get the girls he loved. The palace ball room was the set ting of the third scene and a ball, in celebration of Henry’s sixth wed ding, was in progress. After the minuet, Henry took three of the ladies oif to one side and “shot them some line”!—his wife being laid up with the gout. While he was chat ting one of the ladies, TilHe entered swinging on to one of those “blond young Gods” and raving about Mac’s doing her work in order that she might have the evening off. She knocked old Henry cold, but when he “shot his line” she “called his bluff” and when he pleaded with her and promised to behead Katherine if she would marry him, Tillie de clined with a song entitled, “If It’s Head’s Off, It’s Hand’s Off,” and ran off calling back that she’d see him in the funny-paper. Henry was left brokenhearted and with his pride seriously wounded, hut the Lords and Ladies declared that he would recover. The fourth scene went back to the dormitory room where the young render stretched and yawningly ex claimed, “Gosh, what a dream!” Much has been said about the change that has been wrought in the “make-up” of the present generation but—perhaps it’s not so very new after all for Old Henry VIII had “It,” too. The stunt contained parts calling for real acting to bring out the laughter of its lines and situations, and not one of the cast was a “dude” for lack of that real acting. They represented their class well, and they made it possible, with the aid of the property managers, coaches, etc., for the numeral ’29 to be en graved on the cup just next to the numeral of their sister class—old ’27. Thus they honored their own class and the “odd Spirit.” “These Bones” did rise again. The east of characters was as follows: Henry VIII—Mirian Daughtry. Wives Catherine Aragon—Margaret Jones.

What can Miss Ida do hut be recon ciled especially as the pirates “love the girls, the Meredith girls” so much that they offer the "pirate ship” for the rest of the voyage. ‘‘Here's to the ocean blue And Pirate Love so true.” SPORTS iOontinued from page three) Basketball looms large on the horizan now, but we ask you to remember that there’s another day coming. It won’t be so long now till we can start playing baseball. Some girls just can’t play basketball. Well here’s your chance at stardom. Just don’t forget that there are going to be some baseball teams on the campus before so very long. It’s too bad that we haven't winter training quarters! Nevertheless when spring finally does send the snow away, we’ll have some sluggers out on the job. Some folks say that girls just can’t play baseball! Can’t they? Well, that remains to be seen! We say they can swat home runs as well as flies!
