PIERRE FAILS
TO ESTABLISH
EATING RECORD
Rock and Dean Keep Food
Away From star-Ban-
quet Big Success.

There is always some person try
ing to take the joy out of life: Isn't
It the truthg Take for instance the
high school football basketball ban
quet last night
Just when Pierre Hill was all prim-
ID to establish new jn,erscholastic
eating record, Red bean and Sam
Rock worked up little conspiracy
with the fair girls who served tbs
great feast and knocked Pierre Hill
out OF first place for the evening at
least. u any other two persons had
conspired the conspiracy might have
been a large failure, but with two
such unusually handsome men as Dean
and Rock working together the girls
could not help entering into an agree
lnent to defraud Hill ofrhis just and
deserved honors.
This duet OF Joy killers double cross
ed the we'll known Hill on two sep
arate and distinct occasions during
theseyening. In the first place they
got two rounds of beans, potatoes,
meat and salad; and then made a
dramatic climax by cornering the last
two pieces OF pie with ice cream
dressing. However, we saw Fill give
one OF the girls the merry twinkle
and she returned the twinkle so we
have our suspicians that Hill got a
little handout of ice cream and pie
after the regular session.
But Just to5think Of that little Rock
guy oiiteating Pierre. That's what
gets our goat, and Pierre's also. Cant
see how in the deuce he put 1t AL
away. Would not be surprised one
particle Il DR.. =. w. Howard has to
make a professional visit in the Rock
,amily today.
And the worst is yet to como. Some
guy stuck glass in Hills pocket and
he newer discovered, 1t until he was
starting out after the banquet. Beat
ing him ont of eating lonors and then
trying to make robber out OF him
is sort of rubbing it III on good nat
ured guy.
But Pierre had at least ono friend
among the girls. When this young
woman learned that he had been de-
fraudcd out of an, extra piece OF pie
she exclaimed, That's shame. Those
fellows. Dean and Rock, should be
written up in the papers" That Is
cur opinion also, although far be it
from us to write them W.
Outside OF the Hill tragedy the ban
quet was a great success and the girls
Of the domestic science department
under the direction of Miss Beatrice
Hall are certainly entitled to. a vote
of thanks from all present. When they
get married they will know how to
cook meal and keep friend husband
in a good humor by keeping him well
fed. Al guy who would have the nerve
to say anything mean about their
cooking should be taken out and
dropped IN the river with good sized
stone attached to his neck.
