COMMENTS
Twenty more souls will enter the
gates of happiness and content-
ment tonight when the members of
the mid-term graduating class re-
ceive their diplomas. The lucky
stiffs! v
Marion Moseley is our b!d for the
title "Joe College!"
If I frowned as much as some
people, my shaving would only be
on Sundays.
Thomas Jefferson wrote in his
great thesis "The Declaration of
Independence" that we were creat-
ed equal. The attitude of some
students make us believe that the
only time that we were on the
"equal" waswhen we came into
the world unblemished by clothing.
The L. B. that we stated in an
earlier issue would be hitched
January One, may have made such
a. mistake: but we are yet to see
him flashing any money collected
from bets that were suppose to
have been wagered over the
event.

PLANS FOR
TYPING TEAM
ARE UNDERWAY
Jerald Derryberry, the fellow
with the animated gleam in his
eves, has decided that love is just
like prosperity—it's just' around
the corner. But Jerald has yet to
pass around the corner.
Attention Mr. Rollins: The Billy
Thompson who is so influenced by
your agricultural surroundings has
been horseback riding to your
great surprise. And the much talk-
ed about "hoss" in your class room
bears the name "Prince.''
If I were in your shoes Mr. Rol-
lins, I would be especially careful
that none of those eight hundred
broilers got "on the loose" in your
room.
