Many of you may be wondering
what made the sign In the skit flick

very artistic signs used In the skit.
Bob Robertson has learned through
experience that a person shouldn't
touch a hot foot light with a wet

TUESDAY WE
GRADUATE
After four years of more or less
leisure, (usually more) the seniors
have begun to work. Vague phrases
can be heard floating around In the
air. Walking down the hall one can
hear snatches such as "haven't hand
ed that in"; "worked '11 12 last
night"; "hey got your "; "can't
get that done"; "lota hooey";
"haven't any time"; "that's crazy";
"doesn't do us any good."
Strange facial expressions have
been adopted by many of the pros
pective graduates. One can only guess
at the meaning of these oddities, but
they appear to be a mixture of sus
pense, fear, relief, and toothache, or
perhaps a touch of the sun. One
wonders If the strange appearance of
these students can be covered or even
modified by the long gray robes, and
the square cardboard with the tou
sles. Tuesday, May 28, the day of (you I
name it), and then, perhaps a quick
eye may discover who of the class has j
a wallpaper diploma and who has !
the coveted sheepskin.
