METEORITES
The Ole Astrologer
Spring has finally come to V.E.S. and likewise to the Ole Man's abode in the sky. The Ole Man has been kind enough to time his spring fever so that he will be able to take one last look at the school before he i5 gripped by that wonderful ailment.
Looking down on the "160" he see~ that "Butter-Ball" Barber and "I'm d Man" Kemper have completely given up their race to become thinner. Now they have reversed themselves and have a contest to see who can be fat- test and laziest. They thought up some theory by which they defend their action but it is too absurd to put forth.
Out on the baseball diamond hto thinks he sees the Guru givin9 Sibley some tips on how to play the game; but on lending an ear to the conver- sation he finds that the Gu is telling Sox that he is starting his slide toe soon and wearing out his pants.
While watching the ball game the star gazer is knocked down and stamped into the mud by the royal servants of King "Satch" Farinholt who are rolling out the red carpet to the mound fo r the king. Amazing what the newspapers can do for a bush-leaguer.
Down in Death Valley he sees a noble group of people walking around, periodically running like mad, and sometimes just jumping up and down. One of the notables is "Spider" Carrington. Spider says that if it wasn't for these rough weekends he would be jumping so high that he would have to wear aircraft insignia.
Over in the creek he sees "Pad- dock" Peirson trying to teach some of his frog cousins to run on two legs so that he can have a substitute in his races.
There seems to be a locomotive running around the track, but a closer inspection reveals that it is only Jack Boyer pumping some of this winter's smoke out of his lungs.
He sees "Hairless" Hudgins run- ning around the field with his head bobbing in the breeze which looks very much like a last year's tennis ball.
Musing on the scene the Astrolo- ger turns and walks up the hill mut- tering to himself that every spring the sap runs.
Passing by the Chapel he is shocked on seeing one of the V.E.S. cats come screaming out the door.
