conductod their annual Q.T.SfA. formal

For inBtance, uxiei-w wus jxoger Orton

NOTES
No doubt we are exterm.ely well aco-'
u stomed to s e eing al 1 thcs e har d wo r>r.";
newspaper people scouting around in .
their spare time to dig up news about
our friends v/ho are fortunate enough to
"make the n^BWE''* However, we seldomt tury.
the tables, as v/e do now, and disco\rer
some choice bits of chat that have been
happening' to themo
Turning first to ^Jiani^r Ifigh, we
wonder how many of you noticed Df^ve Fuld
teach:.ng twenty State college students
how to mimeograph "^the other morningc We
had to
make note of this, if
only
because so many people have been waiting
such a long time to see a Milne student
try to tell a Si^ate student s cmething, and
not suffer for it#
Then there is our esteemed associate editor*s dramatic entrance at the
Sigma banquet© It seems that Fred R#gan
firmly belijeves in that old adage about
the early "bird catching the worm, even
to the extent of ccming in the middle of
the best joke. Well, he got a m.arvelous
laugh a m a y , although vw c. re quite sure
Jean would have been just as happy if he
h a d n H made his bov; at that time. Don't
blame Fred; all the clocks in his house
were fast,,
Those of you who are bright enough
to notice that practicality everyop.e you
know has applied for the tafek of Boys'
sports editor, (we now have four), are
no doubt also bright enough to notice
that last week's issue was without a
sport sectiono
The fellows
have a
wonderful
explajiation for
this. Ed
(fidder) Starkweather has been so busy
mlssing[oops, pardon, we mean catching).^balls for the famed Milne basob-all team,
he has had no. blme left to write up what
the team is doing* Mecuawhile, his v/orthy,
(depending entirely on ^what
worthy
means), .-.ssistajit, Newt Cvoss, has been
so, so sick at home, th^t when he came
back, he was too weak: to w^rk, (doctor's
orders)* And to think we forgot to send
him a card. V^fhy go on with the rest of
this prattle vAien there is a much simpler
explanation; merely that Euthy
Rasp
did nit feel quite Uu to struggling with
both boys' and glrlst sports this week®
Didn'^t you know?
