\\ dlamette street last Saturday morning amid such a din as has never before rocked the walls of
staid Eugene office buildings.
Shott n above are ft. few of the floats and students who decorated the parade. Xot onlv students
joined in the parade as is proven by the inset showing the organized labor truck. Below are shown
one of the numerous signs illustrating the typical college spirit usually reserved for opposing football
teams, and a scrap “bomb" addressed to Mr. Hitler.
Typifying the general attitude of the students was a sign seen near the first of the parade . . . "This
is only the Beginning!" Delta Tan Delta and Gaamma Phi Beta were judged noise-scrap winners.

Whiskerino
One little whisker and how it
grew
Came another day or so, then
there were two.
One sophomore male was happy
and shouted with glee
For when he woke one morning,
by golly there were three.
One patient little sophomore went
down to the store
Bought some hair restorer, then
there were four.
One sophomore smoked a big ci
gar, thought he would survive.
He coughed and nearly choked
to death, but then there were
five.
A weak gnd puny sophomore got
as strong as bricks
By eating spinach all day long,
and then there were six.
One poor soph got awful sick,
thought he’d go to heaven.
On the morning after the night
before, by golly there were
seven.
One fella went out for a drive
and took along a date,
And on the way he stole a kiss,
and then there were eight.
One went to a burlesque show,
sent shivers up his spine.
He got embarrassed all to heck,
but then there were nine.
