The Sun By Freshman. The Sun is so meny miles away from the erth that you would haff to be a Champeen in Arifmeteck to think that far, and if you ever started to wawk there your legs would be rinkled frum old age before you got enyware neer it, even if you started to wawk wen you was a week old, wich you couldent enyhow. The Sun is so brite that the more you look at it the less you can see. It gives lite to the erth free of charge jest as a blessing; being more of a blessing before the invention of gas and elecktricity than it is now although it is still usefill to distingwish day lite frum artifishal lite and to enable trees and other objects to cast shadows as a perfection frum the heet in the summer. Nobody knows for sure weather the sun is inhabited or not, but most peeple dowt it and even ones who bleeve it are glad they are not the inhabitants. It is jest a matter of luck wich planet you are born on, and if you happened to be born on the sun you mite be skortched to deth before you realized it. The Sun is so hot you could fry a egg against it easy, wich for all we know maybe the inhabitants do, ony all the eggs probably get hard berled about a minnit after they are laid, espehilly if the hens happen to lay them in a puddle. One reason wy the sun would proberly be hard to get to is because it is surroundid by its own rays, the rays being the hottest pait of it. ATTENTION ! ! Miss Gillham teaches her shorthand class how to make eyes. This proved to be the most successful lesson of the year. I ' or further in- formation apply to Miss Gillham, Room 21. A brainy woman is one who has failed at being commonplace. And when she plays the voice of all the gods makes heaven drowsy with harmony. — Olga Schoeffler. A kind and loving heart she had, To comfort friends and foes.— Miss Fiegenbaum. 26
