Gabbing With Gus
Since so many of the readers
of the Lincoln Echo have request
ed it the members of the staff
have finally consented to allow
me to talk to you about my fa
vorite subject again. That is at
least for this issue.
Well, well; I’ve noticed that
W. B. has really let R. S. go for
R. B. Are the girls in Chapel
Hill not good enough for J. C.
and R. W.? What is wrong with
N. R.- Has he put A. J. down for
B. A.? I see that C. F. has a boy
friend who can drive her to
school. Why do R. B. and R. M.
go to G. S.’s house to look at tele
vision? I hear that D. H. and M. A.
have become friends long enough
to ask Uncle Sam to send E. G.
back to them. I don’t believe that
anyone could drive a bulldozer
between T. B. and B. B. They tell
me that R .B. is writing to the
“Lonely Hearts Club”. H. B. and
G. V. are likt pages in a book.
How long will the flame between
R H. and J. W. last? A. H. is
playing it chilly with B. H. He
ran the man with the horn away.
Why can’t E. D. C. and E. L. C.
get girl friends?
WIT AND HUMOR
Little cuts from classes;
Little cards marked late;
Make a senior^ wonder
If he’ll graduate.
First student (in math exam:)
“How far are you from the cor
rect answer?”
Second student: “Two seats.”
Milt: “Let’s cut English today.”
Johnny: “Can’t. I need the sleep.”
Thomas: “I can speak anything
except Chinese.”
Harold: “Speak something in
Greek.”
Thomas: “That’s Chinese to me.”
