committee immediately got in touch with the local u drive-it representative and tried to arrange for transpor tation of the band by means of cars rented in harrisburg a snow storm tied up traffic so much in that district that it was impossible to drive any thing smaller than a large bus or truck through to this city it was 8 30 p m by this time and the only hope left for carrying on the dance was any local orchestra that could be found dave fluharty scrap ed up an 8-piecer which played until the committee brought the london criterions over from ajlentown at about 12:30 o'clock plans for a new

sticks issued to them and have not been using them will please return them to pete bo quel as soon as possible in or der that they may be used in the interclass lacrosse games next week reason the one that i wouldn't admit to any of them was that the thought of being with one girl for three days scared me to death what in the world could you talk about for three days one dance or an hour's conversation or even a whole evening wouldn't be so bad but three days — never so i didn't bring a girl to house party and then as soon as it started i was sorry i hadn't so while the others were feverishly climbing into stiff shirts and compliment ing one another on their girls i assumed a very cynical and superior smile and kept on banging away at the typewrit er after everybody had left for the dance and the house was sil ent i sat back bewailed my luck and solemly vowed not to miss the next house party that's exactly what i've done at every house party since i've ben here and worse luck it's probably what i'll do at the ones to come my one consola tion is that i can get to bed early with a free choice of all the best beds while those who return late from the dance will have to choose between sleeping in a chair or on a nice soft pool table did you ever try to write a lab report while five of your fraternity brothers were in your room dressing for junior prom the biggest dance of spring house party it is an experience which taxes powers of concenrtration to the utmost thoughts of electric current galvanometers and specific re sistance are intermingled with lost b v d.'s collar buttons and shaving cream i sat at my desk last night typing a lab report swearing at one of the brothers who insist ed that i move so he could get my shoe polish at another who spilled my talcum powder on my desk telling an alumnus where to find my last sharp raz or blade explaining to another that i had only one clean stiff collar that i was saving for the house dance the following eve ning of course i wouldn't ad mit to them that i was jealous that i wanted more than any thing else a pretty girl to take to the prom i had told them that i wouldn't come to house party because i was broke i needed the time for study i didn't know a girl i liked well enough to bring that was my story and i stuck to it but the real lehigh university bethlehem pa friday may 4 1928 r.o.t.c field day to be
