glass of giggle soup I've consumed
and for every hours lost sleep
since school let out in June. ..
Phooey with it all anyway. ..
The only pleasant side of the whole
vacation has been two offers of
jobs on my graduation next year.
One newspaper job and the other
a teaching post in the south. :.
I'll stake my coin against any,
body's money that Kid Reed makes
All-American in his senior year.
That may sound crazy but it amt.
:. Big bouquets to George Barton
of The Minneapolis Tribune and
Charlie Johnson of The Mime
apolis Star for their sincere and
sportsmanlke tributes to Jess
Owens. And the biggest bouquet
of all to Jess himself for being the
modest, clear-headed kid he is.
Now since the chilly nights are be-
ginning to close in mebbe the
residents in the vicinity of 18th
st. and Fourth Ave. might get
some relief from the noise on the
corner. ,. Among those who might
possibly be checking out of town
for distant points soon are Bill
Small, Stafford Lott to play feets-
ball at Georgia Normal college in
Albany, Georgia; Bootely P. Brown
to finish his medical course some
where else. All of these, at pres
ent writing are tentative and not
definite, but don't be surprised if
they do leave. Pete Thatcher
wants to go out to University of
Southern California to school,
where the winters are a leetle bit
warmer. Poor Pete. He froze his
ears last winter. Villa Hayes
returned to town so subdued and
quiet that everyone was worried
about her. Must be a ga-ga love
affair behind it all. Which one
of the Cotton Club band boys starts
to Groom to gel over the telephone
instead of handing the usual line
of slush? >. Soon will be time for
the Saturday night rounds to be re-
stricted to Jim Williams, Martins,
and Mouldens. Cold weather al
ways cuts down the amount of
travelling done between night spots.
e. Bobbie Mallory will be a new
conner to the campus, while Mil
dred Bohanon will return after a
long absence. Mil is one of the old
College Inn crowd, y know. Hope
she doesn't change her mind at the
last minute. Have the Cameo
and Credjafawn club party COM
mittees started functioning yet?
The dance that Ray Dysart and
the band boys gave out to Happ's
night club brought out a large
crowd of celebrities, would-be
celebrities and just plain folks.
Every booth and table was taken,
and lot of the late arrivals had
to crowd in with friends. In the
floor show Claude Burnaugh had
everybody wondering about that
soul-stirring way he sang his
songs. Of course, he might have
been singing just because he
wanted to please his audience but
the general opinion is that he was
singing either FOR somebody or
TO somebody. At any rate, he
sang with his heart in his song.
All me! What an evening! There
were clouds on the ceiling, all rain
bow hued and the dance floor was
of crystal. All me!
I wonder if Charlie Ukkerd will
have the nerve to pop up in these
parts again? That man! He
swore up and down that he was
leaving Minnesota for good. Not
only that, he knew three or four
Washington, D. c., boys who were
planning to come up here to school
but he was going back and dis
courage 'em from isolating them
selves in this wilderness of the
north country. Now, if he DARES
