Sorry for hogging the space, boys, but I'm on a roll before I burn out and have to finish my 7-week late Journal.
Freddy had a well-developed BA (bad attitude). That may seem like a dangerous thing to have at the house of God, but if you were not stupid you could swing it to your advantage. Kind of like having cigarettes in prison or something.
Clever old timers got their jollies from baiting new boys to expose their BAs before they were mature. Nothing funnier than a new boy faus pas, probably the only entertainment left for some there. :-))
Others delighted in political games, like moi. I'd better not tell the story about getting one ego transferred out of the pressroom into the Service Dept. (LOOKS like a promotion folks, but it is a dead end and sucks!) OKAY we played the game, but it worked. Some were suspicious. :-))
The cartoons are drawn by Mark Quakenbush at the time, who worked with us in the pressroom. He was the nephew of Colin Quakenbush (quite the popular family out in the San Fernando Valley). He was a rebel purist and still is. Godspeed, Mark!
Anyway, the following cartoon shows the irony only to a Bethelite.
The irony is, of course, is the suggestion that Cal Chyke and Max Larson were more liberal, or had turned liberal.
Hell would freeze over first! THAT was the joke.
Franz like to be arbitrary, but not to the tune of others.
dude!
