Wedfteddaf
By Henry Smith
Who dun it? Will the person or
persons who removed pictures of
Ginny Sigsbee and Trudy Brietzke
from posters recently return the
pictures? Central is running a contest to elect a queen. The two girls
mentioned above are candidates for
that queenship. Special care was
taken   to   produce   posters   which
would add to the interest of the
contest. Pictures were placed on
these posters so students and faculty could see the candidates. Last
week two pictures were removed
from the posters. Unless the individual who took the pictures
thinks that he will suffer a mental
breakdown if he is forced to give
up the pictures, both the candidates
and the contest authorities will appreciate the return of the pictures.
Who said Bob Schofner, Janes-
ville, Wisconsin, sophomore, couldn't
make the women cry over him? Recently Bob and some other chemistry students were making a special
gas in the chem lab. The gas is
closely related to tear gas and has
qualities that cause people to cry.
It is used in the war. Because he
had been around the gas for so long,
it had been absorbed into his clothing. When he left the lab he went
out into the hall to talk to some
girls. Being allergic to said gas the
said ladies began to cry. Naturally,
Bob wondered if he said anything
to hurt the ladies. In a few moments came the dawn. The gas had
held to his clothes and was now
finding the noses of the women.
And to think of the fun that he had
in making women cry. Whatta man!
