AWS Auction
Is Postponed
It was ... it wasn't . . . then
it was, again.
At 3:15 the skies opened up
and poured, causing Florence
Hamilton, chairman of the erst
while AWS auction, to wear an
even more harried expression. At
3:50 the mist still showed no
signs of letting up, so Florence
wearily postponed the annual fall
term sale of lost and found ar
ticles until next year. Chairmen
and auctioneers left their posts
in front of the Side. At 4 the
sun coyly made an appearance.
