By moving the old 'scope a few degrees and peering closely into the gloss the old man sees Archimedes Battle and Einstein Dawson in the lab trying to rig up a pulley system to move the school closer to Sally's house. Down on the campus Shull is seen making a deal to sell second- hand brick to a local building con- tractor if the mad scientist makes a mistake in one of his "experiments." It is rumored that the entire Chemistry Class has purchased life insuri"nce.
Hearing the shouts of glee, the old astrologer spies Nutt and "Little Gu" Thomas making plans for Thanksgiv- ing. Roast turkey and you know what else plays a prominent part in the conversation. As the old man dis- mantles his telescope and puts it back into the dusty case he wishes the boys a fine Thanksgiving and hopes that they get plenty of ... turkey ! ! !

Through the Telescope
By The Old Astrologer
The old astrologer slowly looked to- ward the calendar. With o yelp of dismay he realized that it was again time for his celestial observations. Quickly he seized his telescope and ran up the creaky stairs to his fourth west observai"ory. (It's directly over third west if that clears up anything).
Aiming his tube in the general di- rection of the big dipper, the old man noticed a new star. During a hurried bit of photography he man- aged to preserve a copy of it for the front of the Meteor. It's really noth- ing more than a high flying Williams- burg creature carrying a football full of helium or maybe hot air. The old strologer also caught a glimpse of a
Hallowe 'en witch hurrying to Carolina.
back home
Looking southward over the Tar Heel State, the old man sighted a comet named Cho-Cho headed for a town named Charlottesville. The star gazer doesn't need a crystal ball to predict that the Cavaliers will be seeing stars also come a certain Satur- day in November.
Pointing his lenses eastward the old astrologer finds the three Musketeers, Shull, Lloyd Smith, and Kender at their job of keeping the dust off of the demerit track. Finch, one of our paid athletes (ten confederate dol- lars a year) and Proboscis Johnson look good on the gridiron. Finch hits them low and Johnson stabs them high. Also seen on the football field is our loyal manager " Poof" Stephen- son, who spends his time blowing up footballs and handling equipment.
