Little Joe Objects; Der Tag Is Eagerly Awaited

By DICK CAMPBELL "Little Joe" Freshman stood looking blankly at the Bulletin Board, his face nearly as baggy as his pants. There in big bold letters was a sign saying, "Attention Freshmen—Monday morning each Freshman will wear a sandwich sign advertising the Soph Hop. This ancient tradition must be upheld by one and all. The Frosh with the best sign will receive a bid for the Hop. The Frosh without signs will receive something else. These signs must be worn to all morning classes. At 12:30 they will be left, with the owner's name at the Soph Hop ticket booth." "The noive of em." piped little Joe. "They can't do this t' me. I came here to get a edchukashun." Trudging glumly away, Joe began to worry about making his little sign for the following Monday. "Now, let me see," he blubbered, as suddenly his eyes lit on one of those beautiful orange signs, gaily painted and deco- rated, advertising the Hop. He glanced across the hall. "Ah—another one! What a wonderful sandwich sign they would make." thought our little chum, "and I could snitch a little string from the Cowl office. If I dood it, I get a whippin'—I dood it. Then Little Joe's guardian angel hovered overhead, calling him down to the caf, and out of danger. "Nope, I won't go!" firmly stated Joey.
