Buster Keaton in College

Directed by : James W. Horne

On the sunkist slopes of the Pacific, where land and water meet - -

California.

High School Graduation Day, where the next step is either go to college or go to work.

A few drops of rain couldn't dampen a mother's -

- enthusiasm on her son's Graduation Day.

MAIN STREET DEPT. STORE $15

Mary Haynes - winner of every popularity contest -

- in which the boys were allowed to vote.

89 CENTS

Jeff Brown - Star athlete, who believed so much -

- in exercise that he made many a girl walk home.

"I didn't think you would call for me in the rain. I'm sorry you are all wet."

"Young man, it's time you graduated. You've been here seven years."

"I know you are going to be as popular at Clayton College as you were here."

"It is my pleasure to present this diploma to our most brilliant scholar."

"- and your scholastic record richly merits this honor medal."

"Ronald will now speak on the 'Curse of Athletics'."

"The secret of getting a medal like mine is - - books not sports."

"The student who wastes his time on athletics -

- rather than study shows only ignorance."

"Future generations depend upon brains and not -

- upon jumping the discus or hurdling the javelin."

"What have Ty Ruth or Babe Dempsey done for Science?"

"Where would I be without my books?"

"Your speech was ridiculous. Anyone prefers -

- an athlete to a weak-knee'd, teachers' pet."

"When you change your mind about athletics, then I'll change my mind about you."

"Mary is going to enter Clayton ... I wish I could go."

"I'm afraid we can't afford it, dear."

"I can work my way through. Other boys do."

So the following term, Ronald arrived at Clayton, and was met by ...

Clayton

BOY WANTED

"I need another clerk as good as he is."

"You can commence tomorrow."

"Well, if it isn't the student prince."

Slow Narrow Bridge

"I am Dean Edwards. Your principal writes me what an excellent student you are."

"A boy like you can make this athlete-infested college -

- a seat of learning once more."

"You boys will do well to follow the example of this young scholar."

Sunday found Ronald taking "fizzical" exercise.

BOY WANTED

"You play third base for the second team."

"You forced two men out and you're out too."

WANTED Colored Waiter

"Bring me something you can't stick your thumb in."

Clayton's wonder track team training for the intercollegiate meet.

"I admire his spirit. At least, he's trying."

"Don't get too interested in that campus clown. -

- You're supposed to be going with me."

"You take an awful lot for granted."

"Attaboy, you made a hole in one."

A call to the Dean's office meant only one thing -

GRIEF

"You have been a miserable failure in all your studies and I know the reason why."

"I took up athletics because the girl I love thinks I'm a weakling."

"I love her and would do anything to please her."

"I understand, my boy. The same thing happened to me, -

- but I was stubborn. That's why I'm a bachelor."

"Here's a list of the men eligible for the rowing crew."

"Coach, I'd like to have you make this young man coxswain of the crew."

"His size and weight are perfect and he has brains."

"My request is final."

"Clayton can't lose the boat race now. I've just been appointed the 'Coaxer'."

"Boys, get out the smelling salts - -

- Little Lord Fauntleroy is your new coxswain."

"It's the Dean's orders. He'll be in that race unless -"

"- unless something happens to the poor boy."

The day of the race.

"Hey, coach - nothing has happened to Mama's boy!"

"Don't worry - you're coxswain. Give him this and -

- he'll wake up just in time for the football season."

"Please leave! If you were seen in my room it would mean expulsion for me!"

"That's just what I want. I was expelled this morning -

- and thought I would like to take you with me."

"I'm going to stay here until we are discovered - -

- then you might change your mind about marrying me."

"Boys, we've got to win! If we don't, rowing -

- will be a thing of the past at Clayton!"

"Is Ronald our coxswain to-day?"

"Certainly not. I've taken care of that pest in a big way."

The rival crew, ready for their most important race of the year.

THE BULLET

"Go on, they are waiting for you. They've just been kidding me."

"Maybe it's halitosis - Four out of five have it."

OFFICIAL

DAMFINO

"Go get a boat with a strong bottom."

OLD IRON BOTTOM

"Ready all!"

"Hurry - Jeff has me locked here in my room, and he -"

"Young lady, do you know what this means?"

"Yes - it means we are going to be married."
