Co-ed Capers
Another paper, another column, and another set
of exams down the drain. Most of us survived the latter
fairly well, with j u s t a trace of examites here and
there, and everything is now sackcloth and ashes (??)
for t h e season of Lent. Before Lent began, however, a
whirl of activities pervaded the campus for a last "blaze
of glory" before the curtain closed over dances, etc.
The formal, under the capable management of Irene
Gaudet and her WUSC Committee came off very well
as far as M.C. was concerned, despite the veiled t h r e a t
expressed in a Letter to the Editor in the last issue of
the Red and White. Also, congratulations to Eileen
Grant on being chosen Queen of the Engineering Society. A salute to the man of the slide rule — they made
a terrific choice.
P a t Poirier, regional vice-president of NFCUS, attended t h e NFCUS Atlantic Regional Conference held
at Mount Allison University from February 10-12. Unfortunately, she was not here to get a first glance at
the "Watchdog", but she duly inspected it on her return.
Things We'd Like To See
Anna " c r a s h " into 314.
Brophy t r y for prince consort.
Dibella being scared by a short man in a black hat.
Laura and Marcia go in for dentistry.
F r a n write an "Anonymous letter to t h e Editor".
F a t h e r Pineau throw Ernie out t h e window.
Mrs. MacPhee take off her mitts.
Peggy, miss t h e "Life of Riley" on T.V.
Gerry G. get 30 in t h e Reader's Digest Romantic test.
Murph go to the Laundromat without dropping something on t h e street.
A sign in Dalton, stating t h a t Farrell is now a property
owner.
Patsy take French.
Fisher go babyitting.
Anna and Reggie win a skating championship at the
Olympics.
Corcoran's face "Reddin".
Sutherland and Gaudet stage a wrestling match.
Ellen Reddin and Patsy Leightizer will debate here
at S.D.U. against Acadia University on March 19. They
have t h e negative of the topic: "Resolved t h a t Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island
should unite to form one province."
A few guys must have been singing "My Funny
Valentine" after t h e Mardi Gras dance. Valentines are
especially effective on lined paper and with suitable
verses, aren't they ?
There is a rumor t h a t M.C. will be boycotted for a
week unless a Coed Week is staged in the near future.
There are no reports from the powers t h a t be with regard to t h a t subject, but it should have been decided
(or over) by the time t h e Red and White is in the hands
of t h e students.
To close off Coed Capers for this issue we'd like to
present a list of a few things we'd like to know.
Why did Keenan shave his moustache?
When did Gemma cultivate t h e habit of speaking in
a bass voice?
Who started t h e humor t h a t the Coeds wrote the
Watchdog?
W h a t happens to girls who smoke in their rooms ?
Did Ray and F r a n k have indigestion after Valentine's Day?
Did S. Connolly enjoy his trip to Borden?
Is Miss Lund in the habit of having "long talks" ?
Are Lana and Keenan "the long and t h e short"
of i t ?
Does F r a n k Garrity like b u t t e r ?
