Sadie Hawkins Week Is Big Success
by J. T. Bolding
"This dofi" Mr. Weber once
said to Mr. Fields "is worth five
hundred dollars." To which Mr.
Fields replied "How could a dog
save that much money?"
A modest man never talks of
himself.
Student: "Sir I don't think I
deserve an absolute zero."
Professor: "I don't either. But
it's the lowest mark I can possibly
give."
Teacher: "When Archimedes
leaped from his bath shouting
'Eureka! I have found it!" What
did he mean?"
Johnny: "The soap."
If you your lips would save from
slips
Five things observe with care:
Of whom you speak to whom you
speak
x And how and when and where.
"Gentlemen" Goldwin is report-
ed to have said "I'm willing to
admit that I may not always be
right but I'm never wrong."
History
Many of the Indian horses were
killed which proved very fatal
to them.

English
Ibid was a famous Latin poet.
"Frank would you rather be
a collision or an explosion?"
"'A collision of course."
"Why 'of course'?"
"Well in a collision there vou
are. Rut in an explosion where
are you?"'
"You're a nuisance" said the
exasperated father to his un-
ruly child. "The next time I take
you out I'll leave you home."

He that never thinks never can
be wise.
As a man thinketh in his heart
so is he.
Think It Over
Common sense is very uncom-
mon. If I Had Known
If I had known what trouble you
were bearing;
What griefs were in the silence
of your face;
I would have been more gentle
and more caring
And tried to give you gladness
for a space.
I would have brought more
warmth into the place
If I had known.
If I had known what thoughts
despairing drew you;
(Why do we never try to under-
stand?) I would have lent a little friend-
ship to you
And slipped my hand within your
hand
And made your stay more
pleasant in the land
If I had known.

Student Council
Scores Again
By Jane Black
The Student Council scores
again! Nothing like it ever be-
fore on the Howard Payne cam-
pus! But last Thursday the place
was turned into a genuine Dog-
patch community. It was dress-
up day and climaxed the Sadie
Hawkins Week observed each
year by the college.
The whole thing began Monday
morning at 7:30 when the sheriff
of Dogpatch Alvin Turner fired
the gun to begin the Sadie Haw-
kins race. The Yellow Jacket
gym was the home-stretch. All
freshmen and transfers were run-
ning. The girls had to catch a
man stay with him all day carry
his books treat him in the Jack-
ets' Nest and do all the little
courteous things men generally
do. The girls had to have four
dates with different boys and
each one had to sign her date cer
tificate. She paid all bills and
furnished the entertainment. If
she didn't comply with the rules
she was tried in Kangaroo Court.
Characters straight from Al
Capp's comic strip "Li'l Abner"
swarmed the campus and class
rooms by 8 o'clock Thursday
morning. Faculty members from
the vice-president Dr. A. A. Brian
on down to John Mitchell the
college janitor were dressed for
the parts of Dogpatch citizens.
Dr. Brian was "Available Jones"
and Mr. Capp couldn't have asked
for a better illustration of his
creation.

other prominent "Marryin"' man
was Fred Blake pastor of Belle
Plain Baptist Church who was
selling mail-order weddings in
grand hillbilly style.

shawls aprons and having corn
cob pipes were Dr. Cleo McChris-
ty Miss Frances Merritt. Mrs.
Faye Johnson Mrs. Susie Bell
Torres and Miss Eula McFarland.
Secretary Miss Lena Vinson wore
her Mammy Yokum outfit and
proved a true Dogpatcher as she
called the sheriff and his posse
to "Come 'n git" artist Charles1
Stewart who was wearing a busi-
ness suit. Like other violators of
the law he was thrown into the1
barbed wire and rope jail to sit
a spell and pay his fine of ten'
cents . Everyone not dressed for'
the occasion got the same treat-
ment and all fines collected will
be used to buy a couch for the!
new library building.
The posse was a sight soon to be
forgotten or so should be hoped.
The college football players were
hard to recognize under false
beards overall barrage snaggle
teeth and moth-eaten hats. Sher-
iff Turner however had a real
beard that represented a four-
day urowth. All were armed
with shot guns or water pistols.
and wore bright badges. "Ozark
Ike" Jackie Bearrow slipped into
the posse with his red and white
baseball suit and a bat.
Initiator of the whole idea for
this day Jim Hicks vice-president
of the student body had
charge of the chapel program.
It was a real hillbilly wedding

mony that united the "Charmin'
deelishous sweet thin'" Edythe
Frost and "ornery low-down
good fer nuthin' critter" Frank
Rutledge in Dogpatch marriage.
The bride's dress was complete
with an orange sack veil and
army boots. The groom wore
baggey pants tattered shirt and
had to be dragged on the stage by
a ferocious deputy wincy wmte.
There being nothing but the
shot gun totted by Sheriff Tur-
ner to back up the weddin' and
say they should be married the
miserable couple left the scene
after exchanging Woolworth wed-
ding rings.
Said Jim Hicks about the day
"The Student Council wishes to
thank the student body and teach
ers for entering into the day with
such a good spirit. We hope to
make dress-up day another fine
tradition of Howard Payne.
