Slime Clark if wc ehdn t see you

stay on the campus and help your
class Everyone knows the class of
45 needs something
Thnt goes for you too John As
president why elon t you try to get
some life in the deadest class in
the history of McMurry
We noticed Adeen Fry was so
thrilled she could hardly wait for
Saturday Not for the ball game
but for the return of the 45th
ou freshmen keep your eyes op

band several Abilene girls did
Slime Johnson and Dorothy
Shannon seem to be moving fast
At least they were Friday night
before the pep rally when they
splashed mud on everything on
the oval By the way Johnson the
speed limit is 10 miles per hour
to every one but Ghormlcy He is
a priveleged character
Girls have you noticed Mr R

Howard Green doesn t like Blon
die We wonder if there is any
love lost Don t feel Individual
Blondic you re not the only one
that he dotvn t particularly care
for
Confidentially Blanks is the re
turn of the 45th going to cramp
your style or nof
W c also notice that Musetta rat
is pretty high She has been go

The 45th was well represented
at President Hall Saturday night
Hunt Hall boys must be going with
town girls or vveie they at home
The boys dorm was lit up tike a
Christmas tree
Red quiet down It is hard for
Collins to work here at nights
You don t have to make so much
noise running the courtcrs off the
eaves of the building
If the class of 45 doesn t get to
vvurk the homecoming bonfire will
be burned There were more upper
classmen than freshmen guarding
the campus last week Why don t
you fish elo something Or should

students do their pirt
