Girl: “Why ? What happened ?”
Mr. Moore: “Miss Lindsay, how
much time do you waste every day ?”
Polly Lindsay: “You mean be
sides class time, Mr. Moore?”
PEALS AND REPEALS
The first night: rats! The sec
ond night: ants! The third night:
flies! The fourth night: mosqui
toes! Ha, no kidding—that’s the
situation up to date. Holt reports
ants in pants, beds, lipstick, pan
cake make-up, and combs. The
pests are now included in the
friendly neighbor policy. V for
Victory is the modern air raid at
tack of the mosquitoes in West
Rock (original idea from Gene
Xeff—credit given).
The front pages: B.C. (definitely
not a headache!) sent Lib Hack

know what time it w^as’’—did you
know that Saint Mary’s “Straw
berry Blonde” got a Yale pen
from a Yankee? . . . M. Stone^

last week-end. What happened?
(“None of your business,” she
quietly replies). . . . Have you
seen that picture gallery in S.
Dawson’s and M. A. Dixon’s room?
Compare it with E. Hoyall’s. Wow !
. . . sho’hope Winter kills Poison
Oak in the infirmary soon. Miss
seeing her around!
Faculties Fews: Doesn’t IMiss
Davis make a grand Baby Snooks ?
But why couldn’t she go riding in
Mr. Moore’s convertible? (Answer
required to pass.) . . . Hear
iliss Johnson knows some quaint
French jokes gotten strictly from •
France.
Debutante Ball. Flash—it’s empty
A new girl, on seeing at eleven
o’clock that no one was going to
classes, turned to an old girl and
asked, “Do they always have inter
mission ?”
now.
Among the usual boners that ap
pear on test papers, we find that one
hygiene student located the small in
testine in the mouth.
For Sale: Two bushels of ap

Doctor Away.” (Advertisement.)
In tennis class a girl was making
vigorous attempts to hit fore-hand
drives with her left hand.
Miss Harvey: “Are you left-
handed ?”
Player: “No, ma’am.”
Miss Harvey: “Why are you hit
ting with your left hand then ?”
Player: “Oh, I thought some
thing was wrong!”
Wanted: Laurie Lucas’s ouija
board. “It lies,” stated M. Glenn.
“See, she got no letter from Dav

Mystery: Whose roommate
blackmailed S. McKinley—or was

“Introducery”: Have you met

theme song — “Let Me Off Cp
Town” by Gene Krupa.
1 remain waiting for a dramatic
club production. But, as the little
monkey said when he got his tail
caught in the meat grinder, it
won’t be long now!
Lee Larner was a great help
to Tuesday afternoon gym classes.
He fetched all the balls! He’s
blond and has huge blue eyes on
a freckled face . . . but, alas, he’s
only six!
Have you seen Mildred Lee’s
front door? Well, come calling in
Holt some day.
IMA BELLE.
OFF THE RECORD
VICTOR—If you haven’t heard
2'he White Cliffs of Dover (the
poem by Alice Duer Aliller) read by
Lynn Fontaine, then you really have
a treat in store for you. It is by
far the best record of its type we’ve
ever heard. Frank Black directs the
orchestra in the background while
Miss Fontaine reads the poem. The
album contains three twelve-inch
(both sides) records and costs about
$3.50. If records like this interest
you, you’ll adore having this album.
Speaking of Victor records, have
y’all given a listen to that “sa-mooth”
new number of Tommy Dorsey’s
known as 'I'his Love of Mine yet?
It seems to be another I’ll Never
Smile Again done in the inimitable
Dorsey manner. The sentimental
ists among us will swoon at the
lyrics supplied by that “oh-so-won-
derful” Frank Sinatra, ably assisted
by the Pied Pipers. The reverse
side, “Neiani,” does O.K. as those
“gooshy” Hawaiian things go.
BLUEBIRD—Best bet for this
month is I Don’t Want to Set the
World on Fire recorded by Mitchell
Ayres’ orchestra. It’s a slow, mel
low tune sung by Meredith Blake,
with lyrics that really carry a mean
ing. The reverse side, which by the
way is When Are We Going Abroad,
isn’t too good, but look what you
have on the other side!
Who plays cupid for Warker
Dillard and her Mr. X from Ra
leigh—the writer of notes, the
speaker of the phone? Send all
answers to me, enclose one box top
of wheaties, and your name and
address, please.
Secret Announcement: J. Hurt
plans escape with Ben or Bob. You
tell me which.
If you are still an ardent Ray
Eberle fan, and a great many of us
are, you are sure to enjoy Glenn
Miller’s arrangement of You and I.
Eberle really gets the vocal of this
pretty and promising tune “in the
groove”!
DECO A—Jimmy Dorsey’s ar
rangement of Jim is definitely on
the up-beat. The reverse side, A
New Shade of Blue, sounds pretty
good, too.
Seen: Man’s hat in day students’
room. . . . May Taylor memoriz
ing “to be or not to be.” . . .
Jonny Norman fighting with Mr.
Moore. . . . gins on third floor
Smedes using blonde rinse. See
ing is believing. No?
OKEH—Gene Krupa’s arrange
ment of Flamingo is sure to be a hit
tune. Let Me Off Uptown is on the
other side, and although it can’t
touch Flamingo, it’s a swell record.
But what Krupa recording isn’t ?
SAINT’S SALLIES
Dear Public :
From the utmost depths of my
heart, I thank each and every one of
you for the numerous cards and let
ters of praise I have received. It is
always so inspirational and encour
aging to hear from one’s fans.
Much love,
“Miss Sallie.”
P.S.—It sounds good anyhow!
Well it’s October again . . . more
football games to go to . .. more girls
to go to ’em. It always sends prickly
chills down my spine to see our fair
young “belles” trip the light fantas
tic down the steps of Smedes into a
waiting car and zoom off to Caro
lina or State or Duke or Wake For
est or Davidson. (I had to put ’em
all in so as not to hurt anyone’s feel
ings.) Of course, it’s up to the gal
. . . now if it were I . . . but, no, I
won’t commit myself.
Business certainly was good in
Smedes last Sunday. Men galore!
I had to pick my way over those
sprawled on the porch . . . then when
I finally got in the front door, I was
nearly smothered. Saw Foy Steph
enson with Graves Vann in tow . . .
wandering about the campus.
“Tickie” LaRoque was all moony
eyed about time for Chapel. That
cute date she had . . . Lib Adkins’
date forgot the most important thing
Sunday afternoon, so he had to call
her five minutes after he left . . .
such affection. . . . Now Lib’s going
to the Carolina-Fordham game.
The girl-break the other week-end
jiroved most fruitful for many of
our young belles.
IVIy vote for the boys with the
“biggest rush” would be iMary Ann
Dixon’s brother, Wright, and J. C.
Hyman, Anne Dunn’s date. Betty
ilichaux’ cute date, Billy Kelly, was
getting quite a rush, too . . . in fact,
they all were!
Who is this new romance of Caro
lyn Cauble? We hear that it all
began over the Holt telephone.
Ilum-m-m-m-m—sounds spicy! Why
does Libby Jones blush when Fvei ■
and Davidson are mentioned in th® !
same sentence? Do believe the oW
“love bug” has bitten Lib.
Special Notice: Be sure and mak® i
a trip up to third floor Holt and •
look at Peggy Beale’s “poodles of
passion” from Baird.
The “old man” of Minkie Clarke’s
stag line is coming October 18 and ^
according to Minkie, he’ll be her® [
10 days. . . . Some “power-house,’ |
that Clarke!
Jane Taylor, a winsome Junior)
gets a “special” practically every
day . . . and they’re all from th®
same guy. (Cute, eh?)
I feel awfully happy ... in tk®
mood to do something nice, and so J
think I’ll nominate some “superl®"
tives.” Here goes:

man’s tea.
Biggest puzzle of the week—Whaj >
