Show Daffy Scribe Digs Into Crazy Excuses "Reasons" for many Southerners Southern-ers being late were found in the files of Mr. Hale's and Miss Mo-nay's Mo-nay's offices by super sluething scribes. Herewith is an example of some of the excuses given by "ten o'clock scholars." Many gave their cars as excuses: excus-es: Paul Rosander, "Couldn't get my car started"; Dave Lingard "Left early, but car broke down"; and Bob Kean, "Got a flat tire." Abbert Ordena and Joel Jensen merely put "Slow." (Incidentally, this excuse was used the most by latecomers). Arden Knudsen was "waylaid," and Barbara Jensen was kindlv, "Helping my girl friend with her boots." Fred King was "Standing out talking," while Wayne West was "Detained in hall." Bonnie Walker says, "I was ill after I ate my lunch." Glen Crookston, "Lost my locker lock-er key." (He found it later). Lester Hartman was late because be-cause he was sewing his pants. Frances Luing was "Fixing a tear on dress." Kay Gertino said, "Had to fix my sweater." Phillip Green, "Waited for egg to cook." Roy Marsh had "too much night life." Gordon Scoffield was "unavoidably "unavoid-ably detained by an incendiary blonde." Well now! The above excuses are results of well-trained imaginations. |
