(And you know what a mess he was then.) Yes, I am merely a wreck of a 'man tossed about on the seas of the vagaries of human nature. 'tis a sad plight I find myself in. You can help me if your hearts are big enough. Kut to begin at the Begins ing. . The other evening I was sitting in the movies living=in the joyous land of make-believe when a firm hand grasped my shoulder and a voice said, 'I want to see you!" Needless to say I was alarmed, but when through the murk and gloom of the Lakeview Theatie, I perceived the face of Billy Taylor, I relaxed and was once more at my ease, Next morning, bright and early 1 put in an appearance at the estab- lishment run by the doughty Billy to usually shining countenance to pre- vious evening. Then it happened; my little world tumbled about my ears. He asked me with all the gaul in.the world to -give him ideas for the ad- vertising-of our Fall Dance which is to be held on November 19. Now, I ask you; is that fair? Fair or not, I considered the matter --"in~a light' way for a full minute, then my thoughts became heavier and heavier until I was submerged in a black gloom which completely blotted out all thoughts of ogling the pretty girls that frequent this Cafe. Why I~ couldn't even gdmire Joan's red hair! i" What was I going to tell this man who' was relying 'on me for inspira- tion: nay, what am I going to tell "him? Since that fateful morning I have been in a complete daze, shroud- ed in melancholia, fearing, yes know- ing that I was going. to let the boys|- down. With this horrible fate hanging over my head I place myself at your mercies, Have you any ideas .as to how we*can make this dance seem attractive to outsiders and 'members alike with a, few posters or ads in this paper? If you have any, no mat- ter how stupid they may seem, do, for the sake of a dying spirit, submit them to someone in the know. While ruminating on the horrors of this world I made a few notes on what filtered through my poor be- fuddled brain. Here they are, word for word:-- 1 Fall dance, November 19 at school, Dress optional, Lunch. There you are, see what ydu can do with that scant information! Information about the scavenger hunt is not 'so scarce. Everyone I have mentioned it to seems to be full of wild anticipation over the matter. However they seem to be uncertain as to what is expected of them. It seems I must reiterate again, this time only in brief. Everyone attending is ask- ed to bring lunch to be thrown into a community feed, non-members pay 2 bits, members are free and the start- dng point will be the Club House. Lets say we leave the premises at 7.30, meaning that ,you should be there at seven at the latest. If in your. own' record collection you have anything that you figure might make the dancing more pleasant don't hesi- tate to bring it along. And fellas, bring your popsies with you, see if we can make the joint top-heavy with women for a change, usually it is the other way and I tte having to cut | some characters . throat to get a dance, Gore on _the floor is a bore! | This week-end just past we have .|had an example of what the club is going to be like when we get it sheet- ed in.' A few of us put on a roaring fire in the stove, concocted a brew that 'some dope called coffee and had {8 very pleasant bull session. The proceedings were enlivened consider- ably on "Sunday, we had one on Sat- urday too nlong with some work, with the appearance of two very charm- ing ladies, Ladies I call them, well that is out and out flattery, nothing more, for they added to your corres- pondence's misery by tickling him.
