What you’re looking at
This page contains **humorous college submissions** typical of 1920s satirical magazines. The top cartoons are brief jokes from Stanford and University of Oregon students—one about an inconsiderate landlady, another about fraternity brothers fooled by a circus carousel. The main cartoon, "The old tennis racket" by Walt Conbath (U. of Pittsburgh '29), depicts a couple where the man proposes a car ride despite having no vehicle, offering instead "a pint of moon"—slang for **bootleg liquor during Prohibition**. The joke plays on how illegal alcohol became casual dating currency. The "How to Play Golf" piece is **satirical advice** mocking wealthy leisure culture. It includes absurd equipment like a divot replacer made of sterling silver and jokes about bribing caddies. The reference to "William Hale Thompson" (Chicago's notorious mayor) and suggesting readers consult the "Congressional Record for October, 1914" for golf rules adds political mockery. Overall, the page reflects **post-WWI college culture**, Prohibition-era drinking, and satirical jabs at American pretension and politics.

Every one should have the following articles. With each set of articles we donate a last year’s seed cata- logue for the wife to busy herself with while you're away over meadow and lee. But now let us jump into the Statler elevator and go back to where we started. Every well- meaning golfer should have: 1 Divot Replacer. Our patent Divot Replacer is made of ster- ling silver, and is guaranteed to give satisfaction. It is designed for us by Homer T. Rembrandt, and bears upon it the likeness of William Hale Thompson. 1 Steel Hammer. This is for quietly socking the caddy who talks while you're putting. 1 case of White Rock for use while in sand traps. 1 Megaphone. This is used to address the ball. You might also need some golf clubs and balls, but these are in- consequential. As for the rules of the game, see the Congres- sional Record for October, 1914. —Artuur Sirverseatr, Harvard ’30
