THE BAT TALION

BOTTLE SIDES
From the way these flivvers jump
cross ties, we would suggest that
their names be changed from road
lice to grasshoppers.

If the Juniors aren’t careful they
will find their toastmaster in the sack
which they loudly proclaim the
Sophomores are holding.

Some of the horrors of hazing—
Capt. Boulden and Lt. Peteet having
the Fish assist them in taking off
their boots.
* * *
The Fish say they are afraid to go
to the post office for fear that
“quarters” will be blown and they
will be rammed out of school before
they can get back.
* * *
The suggestion that we read in
last week’s Bat namely that the Bat
reporters should not be forced to
undergo the hardships of reveille,
meets with our entire approval. In
addition to the debate suggested we
would recommend that a general
vote be taken and a petition duly
submitted to the proper authorities.
* * *
From current reports we are led
to expect a call for aid from the ar
tillery Sophs. Spare the rod and
spoil the Fish.

The Fish on Banquet night: “Some
may come and some may go, but I
go on forever.”
- -Speaking of desirable things, how
would it suit your compoterosity to
rip open a letter from one of Broad
way’s spiffiest little stars that read
something like this: “I am home
sick for one of your old time cham
pagne suppers. Before beginning
rehearsals I think I shall join you for
a little mountain air. You may ex
pect me almost any time. I enclose
my latest photograph in remember-
ance of our quiet little blow-out at
Dreamland, July 4. With love and
a thousand kisses, I am your own
little tootsy-wootsy, Kitty.” Almost
as snappy as Kitty herself. But with
you is your old maid sister-in-law
who is about to give you ten thous
and Hebrew ambitions because of
your aversion to the stage, especially
the side entrance thereof. And then
a young up-start from Yale swipes
the above letter and photograph and
threatens to expose you to the pur
itanical sister-in-law unless you con
sent to his marriage to your ward,
whereby you will lose another ten
thousand. You’d probably feel like a
man up the old creek without a paddle
And, to cap it all, Kitty arrives—
and thereby hangs the tale. You
may have to get out of just such a
predicament some day before you
settle down to that quiet existence
with the wife and children. Wil
liam Winkler handles the situation
rather nervily in “The Arrival of
Kitty,” to be presented by the Dra
matic Club, April 6. Prof. Brackett,
who is directing, promises a produc
tion better than even the senior play
of last year.
P. S.—The feminine roles will be
played by imported feminine talent.
Listen, fellows, do you realize that
it is less than a month until the R.
V. dances? Remember this all-im
portant time of much joy, and get
that date. Who was it made the re
mark, “That he who waits will hold
the sack”?
