Show COPPOCK, BARB NATURAL, GROOMS SCHNOZZLECoppock caught slyly ordering groceries from grocer.Earl Coppock, the boy with principle, came to Utah from some jerkwater college where he was a fat frog in a little puddle. Last fall he was greeted by old and young on his return to the city of the lost cause, and was immediately pledged to a fraternity. Coppock soon saw thathis erstwhile power was past-he was just one of the boys instead of being THE boy. He would have to break his pledge and become the champion of mediocrity-the barbs.He raced to the nearest pedestal and climbed up avidly, crying "Down with Fraternities; up with Coppock!" By this policy he soon cameinto the leadership of the sour-grapes. The barbs organized en masse on a derogatory basis and proudly placed the name of their adjustable balloon on the ballot for student body president.Came voting. By crook or crook, Coppock went to the finals.Our story ends pathetically. Coppock is broken in body and soul. The once far-hooted name of Coppock which symbolised baseless ego has degenerated, and now stands for the questionable glory of a Real-Silk Hosiery salesman. Alas, poor Coppock, we booed him well . . . He was elected.351 |
