LATIN GRAMMAR CLAYTONIAN You see a pretty girl walking down the street, she is singular, you nominative. You walk across to her, here you change to plural, then it becomes dative. You walk home with her. Her mother becomes accusative. You talk of the future and she changes to the objective. You kiss her and she becomes masculine. Things are tense, her father becomes present, and you become a past participle. Motorist: “Have a lift?” Georgia Winget: “No, thanks. I’m walking to reduce.” Motorist: “You’re off your road, miss; this road goes to Sailor Springs.” Betty Harbin: “Yes, I'm feeling better after the operation, but I can’t imgaine how I got this bump on my head.” Velda Barnes: “Oh, I heard about that in the middle of the operation they unexpectedly ran out of ether.” Our Claytonian is a great Annual The school gets all the fame The printer gets all the money The staff gets all the blame. Robert Earl Duff, on going home after his first day at school, proudly announced that Mr. Cherry had spoken to him. Mr. Duff: “Well, what did he say to you?” Robert Earl: “He told me to keep quiet.” “Gussie” Hohlbauch being arrested for speeding: “But officer, I’m a student!” Officer: “Ignorance is no excuse.” “THE DIFFERENCE” The Chewing-gum girl and the cud-chewing cow, There is a difference, you will allow. What is the difference? Oh, I have it now. It's the thoughtful look on the face of the cow.
