. . . After the thirteenth we lost
count of Jack Lucke's bag-toting
trips to the upper floors of
Moore. ... We want the truth,
now: Did Margaret Riddle carry
those bags up to second floor
Melrose, or was she carried up
by mistake? . . . For pure faith
fulness, we nominate Mack
Byers. He was practically glued
to Moore till Lela arrived at
seven. But, then. Merle Bowen

late with the most celestial tan

We're disgusted. Since the holi
days we can't walk anywhere

Okay, then; we're jealous!

Asheville park bench since
New Year's Eve." Ben Johnson:
" 'War Shorts' are the kind they

"Life's not always a Garland
of posies; there is always a

he yawns on class.

"What would I want with a

"Well, if you can't think of at

roommate up to get it; he prac

Why—do they call them
"Dirt" columns? Did the orches
tra learn a new march? Doesn't
everyone buy a Laurel? Don't
they sing the Alma Mater
enough so that everyone can
learn all the words? Didn't a
certain couple go to the show
Saturday night? Must there be
examinations? Can't we have
breakfast in bed?—as if we
didn't know.
Everyone else picks superla

so this column will follow the
custom and stick its new-for-

man of the year: Daddy Black-

cheerful, ever-helpful, ever loyal

(reasons on request): John L.
Johnson; Grady Dover; Cecil
Hill; and 799 other Marsillians.
Biggest find: Men's Student
Council for fine morale, stand

nearly 400 freshmen. Consoling
thought for exams: "A fool can
ask more questions than a wise
man can answer." God Bless
America!

The audience was silent, listen
ing, listening to every word
uttered, every tone of the
dramatic voice as attentive as
though every gesture the young
speaker made could be seen in
the Stygian dark between the
lightning flashes.

This book may be likened to
a meal. There are special
dishes that we are fond of and
others that we do not touch, but
they all go to make up a bal

especially suited for your bed

light reading.

vation beyond Murphy, N. C.
