Sum few weeks ago, me and Corey Fod, Secatary uv the Class of driv tew Hanover tew consult with Sid Hayward, Secatary uv the College and Bob McKennan, Regional Sectary uv '25 about Secatarial work in general and our own non-burdensum work in particular. We had our Secatarial Conferences in quite a phew wood cock and patridge covers around Hanover and cum to the conclushun that McKennan is still the best wing shot of the bunch.

Going to the football game I see that just about every undergraduate had a smooth looking female with him. They looked yungern and not so mature like they was in our time, but still most uv them was quite soothing to the eyes. I ast if it was a house party week-end and was told that it want no houseparty week-end but just a normal gathering.

That sort of opened my eyes and I ast how come. They told me that the yung reptiles in college now is just as efficient hunting females as me and McKennan used to be hunting wookchucks out along the June road .... out comes a good looker to tread around a bit and Bang! You see in our time awl we had was a phew old Model T stripped downs, with a soap box for a body. The old wrecks might of did twenty-five miles for every hour on the road and it was real work tew drive them. This generation got everything from Model A's tew new Buicks and a feller that cant cover forty-five miles for every hour on the road is sent home tew kindergarten. What with radios, heaters and streamlined covertibles yew set down and figger out how this generation of Joe College makes 0ut.... boys, we was borned just twenty-five years tew soon!
