METEORITES
Through the Telescope
By The Astrologer
Looking through the telescope, we
see many new stars in the ascen- dancy. The new boys ore already fill- ing the shoes of those who left last year. Among the new constellations we see such stars as "Freckles" Bul- lard. This Richmond, Va ., boy ac- tually slings more bull than "Windy Bill" and "Slop Head" put together. He is also quite a hand with the
women.
Grimes Thomas comes up from
Siler City, where he lived in a puddle with the famous "Duck." "Dimples," we hear, is taking his brother's place on the piano stool.
"Big Boy" Cornett hails from Ezra- ville, Vo. (home of International, Dia- mond T, and Mock trucks).
"Bunky'' Cardwell astounds ye old astrologer in that he is so much like "Ole Dowg" Townes of last year's fame, even down to the walk and d-r-a-w-1.
We also see a real estate agent in the telescope lens. "Frosty" Coile owns the bridge, a trash barrel. sev- eral radiators, protection from Lar- son and Rianhord, the laundry chute, and several other articles. He's learn- ing fast, though.
King is definitely the sharpest thing we have seen since Old Mother-Duck left us, another one of those Greens- boro boys with the "blond" hair, zoot suits, and atrocious ties.
O f course we can't over'ook the old boys. Lately we have observed " Pinoccinose" scooting around Ha- waii (Rivermont Apartments), looking for a certain hula girl.
There being nothing like love by mail. we have seen the mailman bring- ing in a separate bag from St. Mary's to Acka, Dutchman , Cookie, Coach, Footsie, and Windy Bill. The boys here have also been burning up the telephone lines to Raleigh late at night.
The astrologer hopes to see the B1shops take the field this season clad in new uniforms furnished by none other than Du sty Spraguestien.
Well, day has dawned and we can see no more through the telescope.
