AT COLLEGE
$_D$o you remember those boyhood days when going to College was greater than going to Congress——and you'd rather be Right Tackle than President?
The home of Harold Lamb
$_H$is father was the best bookkeeper in the country and the worst radio liar in the state.
"Look, Pa, how much Harold has saved to take to college for spending money—just by selling washing machines."

Chester A. (Chet) Trask Voted the Most Popular Man in College Our Football Captain for 1924
Harold Lamb Voted the Most Popular Man in College Our Football Captain for 1925
Philo
"I saw it in the movies—the College Hero did that jig every time he was introduced to anyone."
"It took me a week to learn it, Dad—but I bet it will make a hit at college!"
"I'm afraid, Ma, if Harold imitates that movie actor at college, they'll break either his heart or his neck!"
$_T$he opening of the Fall term at Tate University—a large football stadium with a college attached.
$_T$he Dean of the College—he was so dignified he never married for fear his wife would call him by his first name.
$_T$he peril of the Freshmen—an upper class bully who made Simon Legree look like the Good Samaritan.
On the Tate Limited.
$_P$eggy—the kind of girl your mother must have been.
EVENINGS AT HOME CROSSWORD PUZZLE
"Hello, Peggy——are you still helping your mother with the boarding house?"
"Yes—and I have a new job at the Hotel Tate—in the check room."
"I think I know the word for number 19 vertical—'a name for the one you love.'"
"Sweetheart."
"Darling."
"Dearest."
"Precious."
"Honeybunch."
"Isn't it wonderful to be in love?"
"Pipe the latest sport-model Freshman with the old-fashioned trimmings—let's ride him!"
"My name's Harold Lamb—what's yours?"
"I am the Dean of this college."
"Have you been assigned a car to take you to the college?"
The Tate Auditorium.
$_T$he student body was waiting to be annoyed by the Dean's opening address.
TATE
"See that everything is ready—the Dean is due any minute."
"Aren't you going to say a few words of greeting to the students?"
"Why, every new student must make a speech—if you don't, you'll be the most unpopular man in college!"
"My friends, I am here—er—yes, there is no doubt but that I am here——"
"Yes, I repeat that I am here—er—you are here—in fact, we are all here."
Notes from The College Hero
"I'm just a regular fellow— step right up and call me Speedy."
"I'm just a regular fellow!"
"—and I want you to step right up and call me 'Speedy'!"
"Speedy!"
🙘 DECORS 🙚 ET SCENERIES
"Come on—I'll stand treat for some ice cream!"
$_A$ day spent in spending changed Harold's plans for living quarters——
FURNISHED ROOM 3 PER WEEK.
"I'll send my daughter up to finish washing these windows while you're out to dinner."
"I—er—took this little room so I'd have a quiet place to hide away and study."
$_A$s "Speedy" splurged through the dizzy days, even the Tate Tattler sat up and took notice——
"Speedy the Spender"
This Frisky Freshman is Just the Regular Fellow, Who is Leaving a Trail of Empty Ice Cream Cones on his Dizzy Dash to Popularity
"You see, you can never be as popular as Chet Trask unless you play on the football team."
$_F$ootball practice——where men are men and necks are nothing.
$_T$he head coach——so tough he haves with a blow-torch.
"The boys are getting careless—I'll have to jack 'em up. Get them together and I'll tear 'em to pieces!"
"What this team needs is the fighting spirit! You dubs are dead from your dandruff down!"
"There's the only man on your team with the real Tate spirit!"
"There's the man to model yourselves after! He's worth more than the whole bunch of you put together!"
"He's a regular go-getter—a red-blooded fighter—the kind of man that Tate is proud of!"
"You're all afraid of getting hurt! I'd like someone to show me a real ROUGH tackle!"
"I'd like to play on your football team if you don't mind."
"Can you kick a football?"
"Get off this field——AND DON'T COME BACK!"
"The boys need tackling practice more than anything else—we've GOT to have a dummy!"
"This is no petting party! That's not half hard enough!"
"Never tackle a man this way! You might get hurt!"
"You see—that didn't hurt me a bit!"
"And besides, if you tackle high, they'll get you with the straight arm—now, watch me!"
"You see, that's not the way to to it."
"Now, I'll show you the right way to do it."
"You guys are wearing me out! This team is going to learn to tackle if it takes all night!"
"We had a great work-out, didn't we, Coach?"
"That kid's got a great spirit—I hate to tell him he can't make the team."
"Why not keep him on the squad as a water boy——and let him think he's one of the substitutes?"
BLACK & WHITE CAB CO.
The WHITE COMPANY AMBULANCE
"I've got a new one on Speedy——he thinks he made the football team——and he's only the water boy!"
"Harold Lamb has more spunk in his little finger than you have in your whole conceited make-up!"
"Harold, I've something to tell you——"
"I MADE THE TEAM!"
"I—I congratulate you."
$_A$nd so in Speedy's fancy, Chet Trask was tottering on his throne——
wonders - -
——who will step forward this year to be our host at the customary Fall Frolic. It will be remembered that the host of last year's gala event was Chet Trask, who was later voted the most popular man in college.
Harold (Speedy) Lamb requests the pleasure of your presence at his Fall Frolic October 25, 1924 an the Hotel Tate
$_T$he host——how he hoped to look for $38.$^{50}$
FALL and WINTER 1924 - 1925
will never woop one of our Suits out.
"It's one of the dizzy spells, Mr. Lamb——a little brandy always fixes him right up."
"There's no danger of not having my suit ready for the party, is there?"
The Fall Frolic
$_T$he crowning achivement of Speedy the Spender.
"It's after ten o'clock—I wonder what's keeping Speedy."

"With the whole college waiting, you pick out a day like this for dizzy spells!"
"I only had time to baste it—so be careful—it's just loosely stitched together."
"Easy—EASY—EASY! I'd better go with you in case anything happens!"
"All hail—our host!"
"If anything rips, I'll ring this bell."
"Speedy, old pal, can you let me have ten dollars?"
"I'd be all right——if I could only get a little drink."
"Just for that, you little fool, I'm going to tell you what this bunch really thinks of you!"
"You think you're a regular fellow—why, you're nothing but the college boob!"
"Ever since you came to college, we've just been kidding you—look——"
"I'm just a regular fellow—step right up and call me Speedy!"
"It doesn't bother me a bit—really; a fellow has to expect those things, you know."

"Harold, you haven't been true to yourself—you've been pretending to be what you thought they wanted you to be."
"Stop pretending, Harold—be yourself! Get out and make them like you for what you really are and what you can do!"
"There's just one chance left——if I ever get in the big game against Union State, I'll show them!"
The day of days!
$_W$hen every heart in Tate stood still—and all the world watched football history in the making.
"Look at Speedy in the bench——he still thinks he has a chance to get in the game!"

"I'm afraid Union State is too heavy for our boys—they've knocked out almost the whole Tate team."
"Quick—see if any of the boys who were hurt can get back in the game—I have only one substitute left!"
"There's only two of us left, Dave, old boy! We'll get into this game yet!"
"Wait—I'll get Speedy to change sweaters with you."
"Hard luck, Dave, old fellow! They're sending me in ahead of you!"

"Take off your sweater and give it to Miller."
"There's only ten minutes to go—I won't quit now, I tell you—I won't!"
"Why, we've just been kidding you—you're only the water boy."
"You listen, now! I wasn't kidding! I've been working—and fighting—just for this chance—and you've got to give it to me!"
"You've had enough time out——send in your substitute!"
"You have one minute to send in a substitute—or else forfeit the game!"
"Come on, you old women! Are you afraid of mussing your hair! Don't you know how to fight?"
"Atta boy, Speedy—a twenty yard gain!"
"When you hear this whistle, put that ball down!"
"They may kick—I better play back—hey?"
"Two minutes to go!"
"One minute left to play——and you've thrown away our last chance!"
"I can't look! Is it over the line?"
