On Campus with % Max Qhvfaian (Author o/ "Barefoot Boy With Check " etc.) THE SEARCH FOR BRIDEY SIGAFOOS It was a dullish evening at the Theta house. Mary Ellen Krumbald was sticking pins in an effigy of the house mother; Evelyn Zinsmaster was welding a manhole cover to her charm bracelet; Algclica McKeesport was writing a letter to Elvis Presley in blood. Like I saj*, it was a dullish evening. Suddenly Dolores Vladnay stood up and stamped her foot. “Chaps,” she said to her sorors, “this is too yawn making! Let’s do something gay and mad and wild and different and gasp-making. Anybody got an idea?” “No,” said the sorors, shaking their little sausage curls. “Think, chaps, think!” said Dolores and passed Philip Morris Cigarettes to everybody, and if there ever was a think-making smoke, it is today’s fresh and zestful and yummy Philip Morris. Things come clear when you puff a good, clean, natural Philip Morris — knots untie, dilem mas dissolve, problems evaporate, cobwebs vanish, fog disperses, and the benevolent sun pours radiance on a new and dewy world. Oh, happy world! Oh, Philip Morris! Oh, regular! Oh, long-size! Oh, get some already! " One, two, Tlit'ce, Now Geraldine Quidnunc, her drooping brain-cells revivified by a good Philip Morris, leapt up and cried, “Oh, I have a perfect gasser of an idea! Let’s hypnotize somebody!” “Oh, capital!” cried the sorors. “Oh, tingle-making!” “Yes,” said Dolores Vladnay, “it is a splendid idea, but hypnosis requires a pliant and malleable mind, and we are all so strong and well-adjusted.” At this point, in walked a young pledge named Alice Bluegown. “Excuse me, mistresses,” said she, “I have pnished making your beds, doing your homework, and ironing your pleats. Will there be anything else?” “Yes,” snapped Dolores Vladnay. “When I count to three, you will be hypnotized.” “Yes, excellency,” said Alice, bobbing a curtsey. “One, two, three,” said Dolores. Alice promptly went int;o a trance. “Go back,” said Dolores. “Go back to your fifth birth day, back to your birth, to before your birth, to your last incarnation. ... Now, who are you?” “My name is Bridey Sigafoos,” said Alice. “The year is 1818, and I am in County Cork.” “Coo!” said the sorors. “How old are you?” asked Dolores. 7 £ * “I am seven,” said Alice. ■ “Whei'e is your mother?” asked Dolores. “She got sol'd at the fair last year.” “Coo!” said the sorors. “Tell us about yourself,” said Dolores. “I am five feet tall,” said Alice. “I have brown eyes, and weigh 3200 pounds.” “Coo!” said the sorors. “Isn’t that rather heavy for a girl?” said Dolores. “Who’s a girl?” said Alice. “I’m a black and white guernsey.” “Coo!” said the sorors. “Moo!” said Bridey Sigafoos. ©Max Shulman, 1956 This, column is presented by the makers of Philip Morris, who don't hold with hypnosis. We want you wide awake when you try Philip Morris's natural, golden, true tobacco!
