Page Four THE SKYSCRAPER October 21, 1957 Sk u crapinad A sad little pumpkin sitting on the window sill has been left out of almost everything. His name . . . Perry Pumpkin. Listen to his plight. Crunching through the frosted autumn leaves, Perry tip-toed and peeped into the biology club. Someone was dropping 300 meatballs in the spaghetti dinner for the pledges. That wouldn't help him he couldn't eat. A little further a realistic witch gasped horror stories to a fas cinated Writers' Inc. audience at their Halloween party. Perry heard scuffling noises behind us with his melon ears. No one would be raking leaves at that hour. Then we realized it was Home coming time Winnie Bartholomew was leaving for St. Ambrose, Terry Zacker to Purdue. June Wesol, Jean Salerno, and Marlene To- maso to John Carroll, Denise Heffernan to Notre Dame, and Judy Mallegni to Xavier university in Cincinnati. How could he go? He didn't even know what football was. Maybe he could grab a wheelbarrow and help clear the campus of those pesty leaves but his committee deserted him : Patricia Jones for a Kappa Alpha Psi party. Renee Sluka for St. Joseph's homecoming, Mary Ellen Cahill, Patricia Nolan, and Diane Callahan for Notre Dame, and Lynda Rousseau for a Delta Sigma Theta party. Oh, and it was sad to see him cry. No one wanted him. Marilyn Hennessey went to a De Paul dance, Mary Fran Eiselman traveled downstate to University of Illinois. Sharon O'Shea visited DeKalb, but Sandra Geoacharis went to the Notre Dame-Pittsburg game. We took his little rounded head and wiped away his pumpkin seed tears and told him that it didn't matter. Even though Maureen Sweeney, Diane Morton, and Sheila Kelly spent the weekend at Lake Geneva for the National Conference of Christians and Jews, we had more important things for him to do. Some goblin had stolen the sophomore locker room tables and Perry had to find them, lie shook his head sadly, for he had no pow ers against goblins. But we followed the trail of red oak leaves left by the mischief- makers and traced them to Kay Slattery and Marge Molitor who were counting their money for the Northwestern-Oregon game as were Shirley Hoyle, Jean Ellen Schmitz, and Christine Sawalski for the No tre Dame-Indiana game. Like good detectives, we were exhausted from snooping and sat down on a few tree stumps to rest for a while. Six freshmen firsts came by. Martha Fingleton, Mary Ann Makowski, and Bernadine Dziedzic bought the first tickets for the Benefit, Kay Gottschalk sold the first patron, and Donna Griffin and Sherry Ann Melfi, sold the first ads. A junior passed us by. She had just mentioned that her fiance was in Phy. Ed. at De Paul. Some sophomore asked, What fraternity is that? We told the campus about Perry and all agreed that a pumpkin would be an ideal friend. So we built a huge bonfire of leaves and listened to Dorothy Thomas talk of two northern pike that she caught in Iowa. Barbara Guderian had cheered the Braves as they returned to Milwaukee after the Series, and Nanette Wendling had seen the Bears challenge San Francisco. Barbara Bukowski left for a pre-med dance at St. Luke's, Joan Ayres for Madison, Wisconsin, and Mary O'Malley, Mary Ann Piper, and Rosemary O'Connor to N'otre Dame. To make Perry even more at home, these girls told of their en gagements: Ulana Nimolowycz to Leonid Kamcnetsky, Patricia Gar rett to Theodore Brack, Margaret Printen became Mrs. William Kaepp- linger. Perry smiled his jagged smile for he was one of the crowd. Now he wears an ivy-league cap instead of a beanie, and he sits on a col legiate window sill.

CTA By Maureen Connerty Oh enchanting chariot Oh whisker of lovely dapple-eyed scholars along the road toward ' really big thought, we traipse aboard. With the clunk-clunk of a 22 token (dimes clink observed one saucy Penelope while reviewing her psychology notes on reflex ac tion) we are entitled, while balanc ing thousands of books daintily, to swing and sway via leather strap protruding downward from the top of the bus which Mr. Driver, so lively and quick, handles with ease. Your poles, silent, sturdy, silverplated, do not imitate Renaissance columns, but they do offer a hold. One transfer transforms into a passport for another excursion on ward. On you, O El, like AEneas journeying from Troy, we strug gle (for a seat ) for survival. Through the subway we re ceived a 3-D insight of early civilization caveman days. Through your windows, we gaze thoughtfully on a chalked tunnel wall reminding us of the murals found in the early catacombs, (pity those suffering from claustropho bia), inspiring us to reflec tions on Egyptian Art, the Grecian Urn, and such words as I got my job through the Chicago Tribune. Oh valiant steed of winged wheels, who would shame Sir Ga- wain's trusty Gringolet Oh hoofs of steel upon which chivalry is dead Oh you who take us miles away, may we never seize the emergency brake Competition Sharpens For Basketball Trophy Without a trace of the seniors in the competition, the basketball tour nament will begin intramural play, Oct. 28, with junior, sophomore, and two freshman teams participating this year.
