Office of the Sec- Lines From the Lion... Dear Gang, I have to sort of brush up on my letter writing because I haven’t written to you since that scrap with the Panther last year. I was kept very busy through the winter getting a new fur made. I sure needed it and I want to thank all the students who helped me in getting it, especially the Druids, they are a fine bunch o’ fellas. You’ll hardly recognize me now in my new suit. This guy that made it for me designed Sonja Henie’s clothes. I met her in New York —oh, how 1 love to ice skate! I haven’t seen much at Bucknell yet but I just ar rived here a few hours ago. My cousin Leo, a talent scout for MGM, tells me that he heard about the most “beauti ful drum majorette in the East” is under contract by Bucknell. I’d sure like to meet her. The Hig told me that he sent Joe Bedenk down here last weekend to scout Bucknell but when Bedenk returned all he could remember was that drum majorette. I have to hurry now because Coach Harry Lawrence has the footballers out on the field ready to go. I got an important job this week scouting for the Hig. For the Glory, —The Lion.
