We asked “Watcha doin’, Ed?” Whereupon, he replied, “Looking for Miss LeGrand!” Did you hear about Dot Walter’s mistake, when she was in Washington? Well, they tell me that she walked into an art museum and, stopping in front of a mirror, exclaimed, “It must be a Rembrandt.” Miss Frantz — What was George Eliot’s chief literary fault?

22 THE CLIFTONIAN Our “Morning News Club” has encouraged the pupils to be more interested in the happenings of the day and has brought much pleasure to us in the form of jokes and stories helping us to start the day in a cheery mood. We are especially pleased with the results in penmanship for this year, since we have received five Palmer Method buttons, eight Merit Buttons, six Progress Pins, two Improvement Certificates and one Final Certificate. Four other sets of papers have been submitted for Improvement Certificates. S. MURNIGHAN. EIGHTH GRADE On May 20th, the Eighth Grade and High School Civics classes journeyed to Canandaigua to learn, first hand, how court proceedings are carried on. Since most of the time was used in picking a jury, very little of the trial was heard. However, it proved to be worth while and a good time was reported by all. The sleigh-ride party which was planned in the winter met with disappointment, as the sun came out during the day, leaving nothing but bare roads. The plan was to attend the theatre in Newark. Fred Burgess was absent from school about a month, following an operation for appendicitis. During his confinement at the Sanitarium he had many visitors and was presented with flowers from the grade. Upon his return he was as spry and full of mischief as ever. The Dublin Wildcats, a baseball team of Seventh and Eighth Grade boys, is proving to be quite a success, as they have not met defeat during the last two seasons. It appears that these young “Bambinos” will be future stars on the High School team. W. SPENCER. A High School pupil once remarked that Scotland Yard is two feet and eleven inches. The other day, a collegiate Ford was seen in front of the school, bearing the inscription, “Bored of Education.” Music Box When Summer is Gone — School Again Sonny Boy—Bob Goodman Speedy Boy—Wayne and his car.

MARJORIE WEBB ’32 Several weeks ago, Miss LeGrand told the English IV class to get a copy of Carlyle’s essay on “Burns”. Albert Bosshart is said to have remarked, “We’re not going to be doctors, are we?” Stranger—Will you give ten cents to help “The Old Ladies’ Home”? Elwyn—What! Are they out again? In the Underworld Enter Shadows flicker A moan A cry In the eerie darkness Grey gnomes hurry off. • Therein A flash A sparkle A blaze On mounds of shining jewels We bend astounded gaze. A howl A shriek A laugh The shining mound is swept away As would be swept the chaff. Exodus A gasp A rush A scream Where are they, where indeed Answer—naught but a fire-fly gleam. DORIS CASE ’29. The Seasons It comes on us creeping, creeping Chill wind, its helper, is chilling, sweeping And thus comes Old Man Winter. April’s tears have now o’er spilt; Oh, hear the Robin’s clear, high lilt. This is the time when nests are built— Lovely Spring. It comes! I hear the “peepers” singing, While high in the sky, the June sun shines; This is the lovely mating-time— Summer. Oh, see the brilliant colors painted; Like a beautiful picture tinted. Oh the golden harvest time! Autumn. VERNA STUBBS ’32 They tell me that Claude Goodman oiled his hair and everything slipped his mind.
