wasn’t even bothered. After we had seen the campus. Jsne
was ready to get dressed for supper so we dropped her by
the hall and went back to the room.
It was then nat I found out how he was going to take
care of the situation. First, he called a “fish** in and in
structed him to call for Jane in time for supper, and to tell
that the reason he wasn’t able to take her was that
ilPhad just received a long distance call and that he had
to wait on it as it was fr< rr homo and was probably im
portant. Then he called another “flab** and told him the
same thing only he told him to get ’‘Ginger.** Then he laid
down and went to sleep. \ *
I was so digusted with the whole *^hing; in the first
place he was getting away with it so far and it looked like
he would continue the good work. Of course he had to pray
that the “fish” didn’t mess him up.

happy about the whole thing. The third girl was in the
same class as “Ginger** aa far os looks went, but she didn't
look as intelligent. If he was going to get caught, my best
