BOY MEETS GIRL FOR '41 HOP; BUT IT'S NOT THE RIGHT GIRL

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A victim of mistaken identity, Ferdinand F. B. Bruck '41 was almost on the threshold of the Union Friday evening before he discovered he had the wrong blind date for the Freshman Dance.

When the date balked at going to the Yardling hop, Bruck did a little checking up.

"What's your name," he asked suspiciously.

"Phyllis Freeman."

"Oh, I had a date with Betty Freeman."

"I guess we got our dates mixed."

They returned to Cabot Hall, Radcliffe, where the two namesakes live, and straightened matters out. Bruck commented, "They were both darned nice girls. I'm glad I met them both."
