m HUMOR Gym This is an authentic picture of our antiquated gymnasium where Fresno State College Students keep their minds alert and their bodies fit under numerous handicaps and difficulties. Believe it or not, the gym used to serve as a car barn for the traction company and should be turned back to them. It served as the kennel or stamping ground of our ferocious Bulldog basketeers until Miss Swift assumed command. Now the gym is the home of the natural dancing classes, and nightly visitors can see the little wood nymphs flitting thru the air bedecked in mosquito netting and chortling in high glee. For nerve, regarding monarchial control of gym and swimming tank for the girls, Miss Swift would make Bluebeard look like a Salvation Army Bandmaster. D rama The auditorium provides a home for the feeble minded actors and actresses gathered herein. Twice a year the College Theatre produces their masterpieces, as yet it hasn't arrived, but John Wright fervently hopes and prays that some day the eighth wonder of the world will occur, and the result will be the long awaited success "The Peanut Vendor". Have you ever noticed the bunch making up the Drama classes? It is to laugh. All the males walk around smoking fifty-cent pipes, memorizing their lines beneath the acacia trees. The females have finally degenerated so far that they now maintain a letter box department in answer to lovesick missiles sent by heartbroken lovebirds. It is rumored they have become quite efficient and have lost all interest in producing Hamlet. It is rumored that the four "big shots" namely Nichols twins, K. Brown and Bagdasarian, have broken away from the bonds that once held them and have started a barnstorming trip through the Valley, for which Wright offers thanks and hopes their souls rest in peace, because his never did when they were around.
