Fascinating Hobby
“Come on, give me a kiss, right here.
Now sign it. Thanks a lot.” And
leaving an astonished girl staring, C. W.
Graham runs oft to class with another
lipstick kiss added to the already pro
lific assortment on his shirt. And they
say a collector's life is dull!

Someone really should do something
to improve Miss Mozelle Causey's foot
ball knowledge. She actually left the
stadium after the last Greensboro-Gas-
tonia game thinking that Gastonia’s
Gi’oen 'Wave had won the battle.

that he has made.
Who is that handsome lad Allene

I Don’t
Aly parents told me not to smoke
I don't
Nor listen to a naughty joke
I don't
They told me it was wrong to wink
At handsome men, or even think
About intoxicating drink
I don’t
AVild girls chase men and wine and song
I don't
To dance or flirt is very wrong
I don't
I kiss no men, not even one
In fact, I don't know how it’s done
A’ou wouldn’t think I have much fun
I don't.

Brief Notes From Office
Of Superintendent Smith
Ode To a Horrowing Evening
Writing a Deadline
Johnny Smith, a journalism student,
was a trifle tired of writing deadlines,
lie knew, of course, that this week was
the “deadline week.” A deadline had
to be turned in every day, rain or
shine.
However. Johnny knew it wasn’t im
possible to get excused from this diur
nal task. So, he walked up to the ad
viser and said, “I think that my
brother is going to die tonight.”
He know that the excuse had to be
drastic, and he was certain that his
was an iinpressive sounding reason, at
least.
The adviser was horrified. She
wished to know immediately what was
the matter with the poor boy.
Johnny stammered and stuttered but
finally managed to give what he
thought was a plausible excuse.
Tbe instructor oft'ered her sympathy
but said. “AA'hen you come back to
school be sure and bring a story on
your dead brother.s' funeral.”
So. Johnny found that a newspaper
is like a circus, “the show must go on”
or better, “the deadlines have to be in.”
