Student Publications: Hatchet Office, 1925

From GWUEncyc

Article

“Soup” Starr has a marked fondness for sports but not for the indoor variety. When the plaster ceiling of the Hatchet Office crashed heavily to the floor last Saturday; our sports editor unceremoniously deserted three of his feminine contemporaries and made for the wide open spaces. Mary Temple Hill, Jeanne Gravette, and Helen Walten generously covered with powdered plaster, were left by the unchivalrous “Soup” to stagger unassisted out of the smoking ruins. “Soup” claims that his hasty exit was entirely justified and that his wild flight across the campus was in quest of the janitor. Regardless of ethics in the matter, the fact remains that the plaster has fallen and the Hatchet Office is more Bohemian looking than ever. Recent excavations on the site have failed to uncover any additional members of the staff.
