This is a humor compilation page featuring jokes and brief comedic sketches from various college publications and satirical sources, organized around a loose "Cheer Leaders" theme. The jokes target early 20th-century college life and social conventions: a student too tired from dating to attend class; the opportunist who profits from others' misfortune; prohibition-era bootlegging (bottles hidden "within Excelsior"); and casual dating humor. Several jokes mock romantic pretension ("Fair lady" as habitual speech) and gender relations. References include "Babe Ruth" (famous baseball player used to indicate sports ignorance), "bootlegger" (reflecting Prohibition's enforcement), and football Letter Men (prestigious athletes). One joke plays on a woman quitting alcohol: without drinking, the boyfriend loses his excuse for intimacy. The humor is gentle, college-focused, and reflects 1920s social anxieties: changing gender roles, prohibition, courtship norms, and academic disengagement. No specific political figures or events appear—this is purely social satire aimed at educated, collegiate audiences.
