St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1940-03-15
Hello, folks:

their spring hats with flower gar
dens had to desist this week, for a
foot of snow outside would make
any such occupation look silly. And
that man on the radio yesterday
who was Dragging about our lamb
like winter also subsidized. But
Benny, our brave youth next door,
who has nothing to do but keep
up with the times and all last week
was seen on his front porch polish
ing and cleaning his golf sticks
land, by the way, he confided to
me he pays fifty cents a week for
them) this evening was seen de-
parting with his skis. So, such
is ife-variety and then some more
variety. Even the weather divides
things up and keeps us from stag
mating.
New Fad: A number of our
young men about town are en-
rolled in an aviation school and
are taking their flying quite seri-
ously. JAMES CLARIDY took a
solo flight last week and did quite
well. DON UNDERWOOD is
scheduled too, to take a solo soon.
IT'S said MICKEY MOUSE and
WALTER ROBINSON are also en-
rolled in the school. My, can a
new era be on its way? How
thrilling it will be for certain gals
about town to spend their Sundays
with their flying Romeos. The only
catch is that you can never walk
home from an airplane ride, but, Of
course, you could take a parachute
along.
The Kappa and Omega Frats had
quite a basketball game last week,
with the Omegas winning by a
very slight margin. Some of the
Kappa men who were quite EVIL
dent were A. PIPER and H. BAL
LEY; and BYRON RIFE, of the
Omegas, drew quite a number of
obs and abs from the admiring
femmeS.
Orchids to: JOSEPH BAILEY
and SAM REED for the fine lead
ership they gave out at school in
a group discussion of the share
troopers problem. You see, the
main speaker was unable to come,
so that left the carrying on" to
the above boys.

A Temperance Tale: The othe
