opponent.
In the next bout-also a pillow
fight, Freshman Rogers easily de-
feated Freshman James.
The freshmen quartette then exc
cuted 1--WE use this word literally
the laundry list to the tune Of "Fare-
well to Thee" They no doubt chose
this tune because they expected the
major part of the audience to take
their departure as result OF the
music (?). However, if Freshman
Bobo hadn't been a note behind and
Freshman Davidson a note in advance
the whole time, it wouldn't have
been SO very bad.
Freshman Mullins sang, "You Amt
Talkin' to Me-" The number made a
decided hit, and Mullins responded to
the applause which he received with
another comic song. Both numbers
were rendered very well indeed.
Another pillar fght-this time be-
tween Freshman Doris and Freshman
Featherston, was staged. Freshman
Featherston welded his weapon
wickedly and knocked his opponent
down several times. However, Doris
bore up gamely under the shower of
blows, and, although badly beaten,
fought on until the end of the bout.
After this match, ice cream cones
were seved-free, too.
Boxing Matches.
Freshman Potter, of Lumberton and
Carleton Of Union, then staged fast
boxing match. This scrap was hard
and lively from start to finish. Both
freshmen landed some good licks.
Freshman Carleton at one time
knocked his opponent down into
some chairs at the side of the stage,
but Potter, fighting hard to uphold
Lumberton's reputation at Ole Miss,
gained his feet, and the end of the
bout found him in the middle of the
stage, fighting hard.
A couple of other fast bouts fol-
lowed this one. Freshman Alexander
then rendered the laundry list to the
tune of "Juanita." Freshman Alex
ander's voice is a contralto-
mezzo-soprano, and he ran the COM
plete gamut of his range in this en-
joyable number.
Freshman Simons-"Old Man" Sim
mons II-was introduced to all upper
classmen present by Master of Cere-
monies Carney.
AS concluding stunt, Freshman
Artz, of Vicksburg, made love to a
pillow. This freshman's imitation OF
a soulful lover was simply great.
Seated on the front of the state, |
with the fair lady at his side, he de-
clared his love with deep sighs and /
longing looks, and ended by restoring !
upon his beloved a long, lingering,
soulful kiss,
