TOWN WEEKLY MAGAZINE SECTION GREN GROW N r -HEY THERE. FROSH'\ Lindsley Eagles Snilthson whirled at this imperative command. Squinting against the sun which hadn't quite slipped behind Warwick's historic me- morial tower, he perceived a tall and fierce-looking young man whose dark blue sweater was fortified with an im- posing W. Lindslfy cleared his throat vfneerlain- ly. \You rfiean me?\ The tall young man mttlt a sound of disgust and resumed Ms way toward Undsley. \Is that the way you were taught to talk where you come from?\ Young Smithson reddened. \I guess I should've Bald T . . .\ He paused dubiously. \Anyhow. N^hat I mean is - I didn't know whether y<^u were talk- ing to me o r not.\ \Oh you didn't?\ The flerco blue eyes glowered down. \1 wasn't tefcr- ring to your grammar. Krosh. But you left out a word.

It sh.ill be doffed whenever said freshman encounters on» or more members of the upper classes.\ \Yes. sir,\ said Undsley. \I intended to go right down town after dinner and got a green cap.\ \See that you do. By the way. where are you having dinner?\ \At the dormitory, I guess . . . sir.\ \Listen.\ said the tall young man. \I don't like you very well.

Right?' \Well.\ said Lindsley, \1 don't like to brag, but -\ \Don't.\ suggested Butch. \Fiuthii- moie, don't even think about what you did at Crostmont high school. We don't like to look backward arouml hcic. You're in Warwick College now. »n.l as fur as we're concerned you're just n big bust In fact, I don't think you'd be * called a bust. I think you're more like a faint metallic ping ' They had been walking briskly dm ing all this Butch Malarkey apparently preferred to walk briskly, and Limlslcy found it necessary to walk that way in order to keep abreast of him. Picscnt- ly Butch stopped before an imposing house with a wide veranda on which were scattered, in various attitudes of by HARD JONES \7\ what.Jit's finiiifj fo qif in In l>< I, il niiitfi tl him to /it's fi't, IIIL tu the It fit of those jtit. non< lulance..

He's stayed a senior for four years so he can bait freshmen.\ \I don't mind.\ said Llndslfy. \Yiiu don't mind what?\ \Why. what you just said. I don't mind Butch acting like that.\ The other grinned. \What you mean is, you don't mind, air.\ — \Oh . . . yes. I mean, yes 'sir.\ Lindsley discovered that Hutrh had been in error about the food. It WHS very good food indeed, well cooked and attractively served, and there was a lot rrf it With 26 healthy appetites aiound the hip; table there had to be a lot of it. On one side of XTndsley nat Malarkey, and on the other, Harvey Mackinnon, the youth who'd advised him not to be disturbed about Butch. Bl'T LINDSLEY was catching on.
