KLUNK Dennis Campbell owns this beauty. The dent-manifested
pickup is tagged as this month's Klunk of the Month.
Klunk of the Month
by Brace
It was a nice day and I didn't
mind the walk, but Dennis could
have at least clued me that the
machine might be a wee low on
fumes, for I'd only proceeded
two blocks when Dennis Camp
bell's 40 Chev pickhorse failed
to function. Since all three of
the gas gauges read empty,
I concluded an "insufficient
amount of go juice." As Mel
Clements, my trusty photogra
pher, propelled the vehicle
down the road, I sat in the cab
enjoying the rustic splendor of
this fine old machine.
The warm April sun enhanced
every dent and the rust made
the pickup twinkle in the sun
like a priceless jewel. I began
to wish Mel would speed it up
a bit (it was unbearably warm
in the cab).
The cab had a pleasant aroma
of old gas rags, burnt clutch and
oil smoke reminding me of
Shakespeare's words, "A rose by
any other name would smell as
sweet."
Fiendish Plot
When Mel finally collapsed, I
found myself stranded safely on
a railroad track (a true Klunk
fan always is in position for an
other dent). With unswerving
courage I forged on to the petrol
pumps a ghastly two blocks
away. When I returned with the
desired substance I could not
find a point at which to adminis
ter the go juice.

1465 Siskiyou - 482-2281
In order to run for any stu
dent body office, a candidate
must have a grade point average
of 2.4 during his high school
career. A Junior nominee must
have earned 30 credits and a
sophomore nominee must have
earned 20 credits. Candidates
must also have been student
body members for one semester.
Nominations are made by
pettition. Students wishing to be
candidates must present a peti
tion containing signatures of
seven persons of the student
body and the principal. The pe
tition must also contain a signed
statement saying that the can
didate accepts the nomination.
Ainsworth
Was there a fiendish plot, de
vised by minds bent on evil?
Was this pickup to run out of
gas and never serve again?
While I was contemplating
the possibility of fascist treach
ery, Mel came to and found the
gas cap to be under the seat. We
had to acquire a tow, for while
Mel was pushing I was listening
to the radio and ran the blasted
battery down. The fellow towing
us got a bit rowdy and pulled
the front grill off, but the ma
chine finally started sounding
not unlike a bumblebee in a beer
can. Once the beastly contrap
tion started I raced back for
school and was glad to turn the
keys back to Dennis. It's ve
hicles like this that try men's
souls.
Author's note Attention! All
persons holding driver's licenses,
this year the Motor Vehicle De
partment will assign you your
pedestrians.
