ERE we go, lads —offina cloud of hooey! The High Hat Club is now an estab- lished institution, and we want a local High Hat in every city and town in these United States! OR the benefit of those who came in late, it might be a good idea to give a rough outline of what it’s all about.

By “regular” we don’t mean a bird that can drink everybody else under the table, or a Rotarian, or a member of the intelligentsia, but a person retaining the best features of each. NY white male, between the age of seventeen and seventy-seven, is eligible to membership, but he must be proposed by his “Local High Hat.” Each applicant for membership is asked to fill out a questionnaire, which is for- warded by the local High Hat to the Head Chapter to be passed upon. ‘This is done to keep the membership list as High Hat as possible. (The application blank on this page is for the purpose of selecting one “Local High Hat” in each town.) HERE are no dues or ini- tiation fees connected with the club, and the only cost to a member is the price of the HIGH CLUB Number One we LNAT= BULLETIN APPLICATION for Membership in the HIGH HAT CLUB | (Local High | Hat Application) Do you, or did you go to college?
