SECRETARIAL CLUB TO MEET

I started to write to you the other day while I \,..as sitting in the SUB but they got some c igR-rettcs in the bookstore and so the whole crowd rushed madly downstairs and I got rather bad\y trampled and your letter was ruined.

\Ve all went to a ballet the other night and it was real good and now everyone is practicing it all the Ume. Myron \Va lker is getting pretty good too, I hear.

The Sophomores and Juniors are going to gi\·e a Prom soon so coult.l you send me my laundry pretty soon and maybe a little bit of money so I can buy a ticket (if I can get a date)? Of course, I might not go because my girl and I aren't ~(; tting along very well. I wl!nt over to sec her Saturday night n.nd she wasn't home and so I got mad and when I finally saw her and asl<ed her about it she said if I wanted a date I should call her up sometime and maybe even call her a couple of hours ahead in­stead of tive minutes. I sure thlnh: she Is inconsiderate because t.ht! big boys tel I me that the girls are so happy to get dates that they don·t care ho'>v sudden they are. I guess she Just doesn't see things that way. But· I guess that's th<· way love is. It reminds me of a beauWul poem I read the other clay-

LOVE Love is like an onion, You taste it "ith delight. And when it's gone you wonder Whatever made you bite. I wonder if Gloria Sampson

finds it that way? She and one of the sophomores ( GCHS) are sure together a lot-he even comes up lo play practice to see her.

But I guess I better close now and go press my tie because they are havm.._e- an inauguration for President Renne and a reception afterwards today (or yesterday by the tlme you read this) and it ls going to be sort of a format instead of the way the Co-ed ball was l that's the dance where only wo­men can go and my girl said Utat the faculty members had more fun than anybody else).
