WHITEYS DIARY
Dear Diary
In a northeastern unvlersity the
students seem to hnve several
ways to help them keep out of
trouble much as we do In our
school A student asks Has anyone
a chemistry book He is
telling the others that the teacher
is coming A haircut Is called an
carlowering To wolf is togo
alone to a dance Moo juice
Is milk Such queer Idioms are
common to all schools There Is
one that I consider the best in
the lot It Is to gonkcr This
Is to hit a uoy on general principles
T II S Is full of cm
It has been reported that several
people have been reading
this column A diary is supposed
to be prviatc and I may be forced
to adopt a Pepys style yet
Gossip
Well it seems as if this last
week was rather dead The only
things stirring were several college
boys telling some of those
southern jokes
I just have to admit Buzzy H
has a cute let down this week
in his column
Joe Edd really can toll you the
parts of a cow Roughly speaking
Confucius says Children should
be sane and not herd
Mr Baggarly is becoming right
good at makng lectures
J F Tucker and Sue II use
