Blush Proves Poor Bathing Suit for Mixed Swimming

As he had so many times before, a Harvard upperclassman swished nakedly through the footbath and out to the pool of the Indoor Athletic Building last Monday night. But he had forgotten that Thursday night is mixed swimming night, and he ran right into a very mixed group.

Sympathetic males yelled warnings, but the unclad natator got to the brink of the pool before it all hit him. The blush that came then was more effective than is usually possible, for it spread, very visibly, over his entire body.

Almost in the midst of his dive, the Adonis reversed direction and disappeared into the showers, female shrieks subsided, and the atmosphere went back to normal. No one knows the hero's name, and no one knows his class, because he never returned, even in a bathing suit.
