[Ads-l] Possible Further Antedating of "Square" (Slang Term)

[Steven Losie]

It may also be worth mentioning that Barry Popik has found a "hip square
from Delaware" dating to 1937:

11 November 1937, Philadelphia (PA) Tribune, “Around the Schools: Gratz’s
Bulldog Bites” by Prof. Seesitall, pg. 8, col. 4:
Let him be as popular as the gigantic. colossal sporty, hip square from
Delaware, E. (Nokie) Noko.
