Mike Gives West Advice
"I'm looking for ...uh... lemme see...Mike Callaghan."
"Yeah, I just saw him go by on his Pogo stick."
"...Pogo..stick? Well, uh, yes, well you see I'm an apprentice reporter for the WESTERNER and this is my last chance to get a really big story. I have this form I have to fill out and if I don't catch him soon, I'm sunk!"
"Well, I guess maybe I could help you since I know Mike pretty well. Let's see, he's been on Council all four years, class President and Interim Conference representative his junior and senior year, and he got a brotherhood award his sophomore year."
"Gosh. I didn't know he was so popular! Gee.'
"Well, he gets around. In the Senior class play he was the Sewer Man. - A real swinger!"
"Did you see Varsity Show? One night there Mike made a big goof during a western dance. When he pulled out his gun, it fell apart. First time I ever saw him get embarrassed.
"Well I know for a fact that his peeve is reporters. That's why he took off on his stick. Once in a while he says, "Frickity-frap" and I know he loves to do homework."
"Really, gee, well this is swell ...Hey, there's Mike behind you.,,
"Oh, it's you. I see you were talking to J.B. over there."
"Yes he told me most of what I need to know about you."
"He did? Hm-m-m- he's a confirmed prevaricator.
"Just one thing Mike, what is your advice to the remaining Student body here at Maine West?"
"Well, just one thing: You can't judge a book by its cover but you can get your book report off the fly leaf. So long, now I've got to pick up my car, it's laying all over the front yard. This stick is getting sickening. Bye!"
"Gee I wonder if I'll ever get a chance to do a really big story!"
