DOVER HIGH SFHOOL 21 1. to the new board of editors its most hearty wishes for all success during the coming year. From all prospects the LoTL's will be clear of debt and the slate wiped clean for a fresh start in September. In closing, the Editor wishes to extend his most hearty apprecia- tion to the members of the stat? for their faithful co-operation in pub- lishing eight issues of the Lo'1'L's during the past school year of IQI4-15. FINALE VVell, it is all over! That annual High School show, known this year as Under Four Flags. And it was a howling success. To Miss Mabel Tebo, Miss Lodge and Miss Moore, we owe our most sincere appreciation for their diligent work. Miss Tebo, the au- thor of the sketch and trainer of the choruses, rendered her services as an alumnus of D. H. S., free of charge. Miss Lodge and Miss Moore faithfully attended all practices, and their services were indis- pensable. VVe also wish to extend our thanks to Miss Frances DeWitt and Messrs. Wim. Clark, Maurice NVyatt and XVm. McBride, all of whom so willingly gave their excellent talent for our benefit. As a result of our hard work, in preparation for this musical com- edy, we cleared the neat sum of one hundred and forty dollars. With this we will be able to pay most of our debt incurred during the past year. Last year the 'fFunny Moonl' earned us a reputation, and such a successful production as Under Four Flags established this reputation in such a way that all succeeding entertainments given by Dover High must be of excellent caliber.

Florence- I suspect you got the 'shingles' quite often when you were a little tot, or if you didn't, no doubt you needed them. Good, better, best: never let it rest, Till your good is better, and your better best. Ez Brown- I understand that Senator Green wanted you to act as his private secretary P Simmons- He did: but I wouldn't accept the position because I should have to sign every thing Green-per-Simmons.--EI. An Irishman wanted an empty bottle in which to mix a solution, and went to a druggist to buy one. Selecting one that answered his purpose, he asked how much it was. Well, said the clerk, if you want the empty bottle, it will be one cent, but if you want anything in it we don't charge anything for it. Shure, that's fair enough, observed the Irishman, put in a cork. --EI.
