GREEN tamdL WDIDTE: SELFISHNESS The man who never a friend would own, Who finds great pleasure in being alone, The man whose face would bear no smile, Who thinks that love is not worthwhile. The man who hoards and covets gold, Who thinks it foolish to help the old. The man who strives thus for success, Loses it all in selfishness. MARY SANTULLI, ’39 0 0 THE WEST BOUND TRAIN The far away screech of a whistle, Two narrow bands of steel; The distant form of a west-bound train. With the hum of rail and wheel. The towering hills pick up the sound, And fling it o’er the plains; So that all the world might learn to love The thrilling roar of trains. ELMER McNAMARA, ’40 0 JOKES The jokes that are to follow are written with no sarcasm or malice toward anyone. They are written purely for entertainment and therefore, I think that they will please the readers’ sense of humor. . Flora Fusco and Mary Grimo were talking after lunch and Mary’s “heart throb” Passed by. After looking twice Flora said, “I think your boy friend is simply wonderful.” Mary suddenly answered. “That’s the trouble; he thinks the same thing.” ------o------ “Cris” Malafronte and “Ed” Procopio were eating their lunches when “Cris” said, “You know, Ed, I eat so much meat that I feel strong as an ox.” After looking at his tuna-fish sandwich Procopio replied, “So what? I cat a lot of fish and I can’t swim a stroke.” ------o------ A very popular girl and a friend were walking home, when he asked her, “Will I see you tonight?” “You will, if you keep your eyes open,” she replied. ------o------ In Chemistry Class, Mr. Carlson was experimenting and suddenly turned to Lero and asked. “Lero, what is a reducing agent?” The “silent” voice of Anthony Williams was heard replying, “Ry-Krisp.” ------o------ Dorothy Paiva and her sister, Leonora, were sweeping one day and Dorothy asked, “Did you sweep under the carpet?” “Leo” replied, “Sure, I did. That’s where I sweep everything.” ------o------ Alice Castro and Marie Pacheco were discussing a one-act play when suddenly Marie asked, “What character do I play in it?” Alice replied, “You don’t have any character. You play the part of a deserter.” ------o------ Lero and Mr. Carlson were discussing the effects of alcohol on youth. Lero suddenly remarked, “Mr. Carlson, I don’t touch hard liquor. My father says that it will make me stupid.” Mr. Carlson replied, “Lero, your father was right. Who gave you some?” ------o------ “Commodore” Correia, being a very brilliant lad, was suddenly interrupted by “Bobby” Campanella, who was on his way to Math. “Hey, ‘Commodore’, doesn’t the big gun on the submarine get wet when it submerges?” he asked. “Commodore” politely answered Campanella saying, “Good heavens, no. The Admiral details one of the crew on deck to hold an umbrella over it.” ANTHONY WILLIAMS, ’39 28
