YE FLAPDOODLE By Ttie Swashbuckler I know that after Mr. Goerch’s explanation in last week’s “State” I owe him some kind of an apology. As much as I hate to admit that I’m ever wrong, I don’t mind apol ogizing. Mr. Goerch, kindly do me the favor of acceptance of my quite feeble efforts at pushing an apology through the needie-eye of my worthless pen. Th e park at Edgemont seems to be THE place to park. At any rate several cars have been seen turn ing in the drive, to emei-ge several hours later in a breathless state of haste. Sometimes though, they are caught short. Such wag the ease last Saturday night when 8. P. Gill another R'mtleman and two ladies were uexpectedly made the center of attraction of a one spot light show. When the lights flash ed over the slight rise of ground that is present before reaching the park proper, four sets of amazed, popped eyes appeared above the glassless rims of two doors. A second flash of light revealed an apparentely empty car for spying orbs. I vow, Thurston himself with tho capable aid of his daughter, could have done no better. I see by the papers (apologiee to Mr. Rogers) that my old cohort, pal, buddy, and class mate, E. C. Daniels, Jr,, of Z *bulon, Chapel Hill. Dunn and Raeligh respectively, had an article in the News and O. Sun day. The article spread to a full column in length, in which case, £ read each and every line. As one home-towner to another, it's worth reading. Read it. Mr. Gee7.il, of the Popeye cooaic ■(trip, would probably say, “Did you asking me?” But I say, “Who was the lady Sprite Barbee was seen ridin’ ’round last Sunday afternoon in his limousine?” Nifty looker, Sprite. And they tell me they raise gals, like unto her, in Wendell. M- M-M-M Is zit soooo ? Quoting from the current Issue of “Slag” (present and past pub lication of the student body of Win ! gate Junior College) that old, old ■ joke concerning the mugwump. I wvuld not waste space with it now, but my feliow fourth-estater Rambler, of the Gilded I/?af Agri culturist, mentioned it in his well penned column last week. He stat ed that he did not know the where fore, nor the why of the word. It is for his benefit that I now oepy from the College students. What kind of bird is that? That’s a ’mugwump’. Why do they call it a mugwump? Because it sits on a fence with it’s mug on one side, and it# wurap on the other. Sam Lee’s wife give* him a fin ger-wave east Sand ay sight! Eh Screws ? NUMBER 42.
