Seal Page 15 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’36 EPISODE I In September of 1932. seventy-eight green Freshmen entered the doors of Florence High to start the four years grind of school. That first year many became studious, some played, and a few dropped out. We elected Mr. Fortenier as class sponsor; Everett Irwin, President; Ralph Cherry. Vice President; Wilma Lautaret, Secretary and Treasurer: and Margaret Jane Jackson, Student Council Member. The first event, of the year was a watermelon feed near Table Mountain with the football boys as guests. A good time was enjoyed. In athletics Bill Baxter was the only Freshman to receive a letter, although many of the boys went out for football, basketball and track. The boxing and wrestling exhibition also featured some Freshmen. The girls, not to be outdone by the boys, became prominent in debate and declamation. The Freshmen girls also went out for basketball. Our second social event was a Christmas party in the gym. Many games were played and after the refreshments were served the gifts were distributed. A sudden outbreak of scarlet fever closed the school in early May and denied the Freshmen of a picnic. Tests were hurriedly taken and fifty-nine Freshmen became Sophomores. EPISODE II There were fifty-eight students that returned in the fall of ’33 and this Sonhomore class was considered one of +he best clashes in the school. This vear we elected the following officers: Everett, Adams. President; Clinton Edwards, Vice President: Marie James. Secretary: Wilma Lautaret, Treasurer; and Margaret Jare Jackson. Student Council Member. Miss Anna Jane Hitchcock our class spoc=or. Our first social event was a picnic at the Royal Gorge follow'ed by a swim at the Carlsbad Natatorium. An all-school party was given by the class in November and another in April. This year seventeen Sophomores joined Mask and Wig and thirteen assisted in production of the all-school plays. O e member of this class entered declamation and there were two in debate. There were ten boys out for football, four making letters. This was considered a very good record. Five boys played basketball, with one receiving a letter. Eight participated in the boxing and wrestling show. Seven girls of the class played in the Girl’s Basketball Tournament. This school term ended with a picnic at Smith Creek. In spite of the rain everyone had a good time and we all decided that this had been a very successful year. EPISODE III On September 3, 1934, sixty-five Juniors entered Florence High School to take up their studies. John Petry was elected President; Wilma Lautaret, Vice President; Eileen Jennings, Secretary-Treasurer: Tomalee Lewis and C. C. Moorhead, Student Council Members; Miss Dorothy Large, sponsor. A picnic at Phantom Canyon started an important year for these Juniors. In the interclass play contest, our Junior play. “In Doubt About Daisy,” won second prize. Sam Stoddard won the prize for being the second best boy actor. On November 28, our annual Junior class play, “Her Step Husband,” which was an outstanding play of the year, was given. Immediately after this, several Juniors had the honor of becoming members of National Thespians. Page 16 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’36 Our class was well represented in debate and declamation. One of the members was in the finals of declamation on April 26. Several members of the class were on the staff and printing crew of the Reflector. The Junior athletes again took their share of the honors. Twelve boys were out for football, eight of whom received letters. Four of the five boys out for basketball were bearers of the letter “F”. The Juniors rated high in the track meet on April 26 and several boys went out for spring football. The Girl’s Basketball team was very good. They won the tournament from the Seniors by a large score. Prom, the most elaborate affair of the year, was given for the Seniors on May 10. The gym was beautifully decorated like a Hawaiian Island. The activities of the year ended with a picnic and swimming party. EPISODE IV Forty-three earnest Seniors started school on September 3, 1935. Our class officers were: Clinton Edwards, President; Earl Bever-stock. Vice President; Eileen Jennings, Secretary; and Wilma Lautaret, Treasurer. Student Council Representatives were Bob Carrethers. Tom-alee Lewis, and Margaret Jane Jackson; our class sponsor was Miss Helen Stockwell. On October 4, the Juniors and Senors gave a party in the gym. The entire school was invited and a large crowd was present. Our class was well represented in all athletic activities. Several boys in the class won football and basketball letters and were members of the “F” Club. The Senior girls had a basketball team of u'hich we were proud. . , , . . . ... The Thespians sponsored the inter-class play contest again this year and the Senior play, “Minerva Sets the Stage,” won second place under the directorship of Sam Stoddard. Eileen Jennings of our class won first prize for being the best girl actor in the school. Several members of the class of ’36 had the honor of becoming Thespians during the year. , „ , ,, , „ . On March 6, we all donned our “go to meetin clothes for Senior Dress Up Day, and on April 17, we had Costume Day. The annual, “Echoes of ’36,” was sponsored by our class. It was the largest annual that had been published foil several years. The greatest social event of the four years occurred on May 1 when the Juniors entertained the class of 1936 at the annual Prom. Their Dutch party was delightful and was voted a success by all seniors. On May 8. we had Kid Day, and, after seeing us the teachers were really undecided as to whether or not we were old enough to graduate. The evening of May 8 was the presentation of the Senior Play, “The Patsy.” This delightful comedy was enjoyed by a large audience. Class Day was held on May 15. The Seniors presented their gift to the school and a program was given by our class. On May 17, the Baccalaureate exercises were conducted for the graduates and on May 22, the commencement exercises were held. Speeches were given by a few selected Seniors and the diplomas were presented by Superintendent R. R. Morrow to forty graduates. Thus, the members of the class of ’36 had completed their high school careers. Page 17 SENIOR PROPHECY As we have traveled a great, deal the last twenty years, we have accidentally met a large number of our old schoolmates. We will now reenact some of the scenes for you. A school of learning: The professor is Prof. Bob Carrethers. A person that looks very familiar comes into the room. She has come to see about getting her ten children into school. She was Margaret Jane Jackson in the “good old days.” A knocik at the door and in comes the great actor Bill Shattuck. He wants to give a program for the students. That must be the second Atlas coming into the room. Those manly features could belong to none other than “Willy” Thomas. He has come to tell the boys how to become the third Atlas. School “kids” get all the breaks. Here comes the great African hunter, Bill Ottino. The scene now changes and we are in a doctor’s office. The doctor is busy, but his assistant nurse, Jane Hill, is questioning the patients. The first patient looks like Catheryne Fox. Her voice seems poor and she has come for treatments. In the “kid” calling contest, in which she was winner, her voice was over strained. “Did you have an appointment?” Of course, she had one, for it is Lucille Schmidt. She comes often to be made to look just like Jean Harlow. “May I get my arm examined?” asks Eileen Jennings, the great boxer. In the last boxing match she was hurt. A large broadcasting station ought to be a place of interest, let’s see. Who is it that is now speaking, listen. “This is ‘Lockinvar the Great Lover’ now going off the air. Be sure to listen again tomorrow at this time.” Could it be? Yes, it is Clinton Edwards. The Amateur Program is now on the air. The major is Kenneth Essmeier. What is the young lady over there going to do? She is Clemencia Hernandez, the tight rope walker. She is going to do a tight rope act. If it isn’t Frank Carrethers, wonder what he aims to do. He is going to do his famous knife throwing act. “Now we have a young lady here from Florence, Colorado. And what is your name, and what is it you are going to do?” “I am Irene Giuliano and wish to imitate some cowboys.” The gong, guess they didn’t like her so well. Here’s a good looking couple. It is Ada Trivett and Darrell Stevens. They’re a new dance team. They’re both from Florence, Colorado, and aim to win the contest to-night. Who’s going to be next on the program? A little girl with a big hair ribbon and her playmate in knee pants. It’s Lois Haymaker and Rueben Ortez. They both liked school so well they went back. There wasn’t room for them in dear old F. H. S. so they are in the nursery at the Annex. They’re going to sing. A bright looking fellow is coming with a flute. It’s Merle Tedesko. He’s going to play “It Isn’t Going To Rain No More.” The gong! Everyone knew it wasn’t going to rain. Next week we will hear who was the winner of the contest. Page 18 SENIOR PROPHECY The news is now on the air. Flash! An elopement! On the ship docking at Honolulu today is a newly married couple. Marion Mascitelli and bim Cingoranelli. Now, Mr. and Mrs. Cingoranelli. In the riot la st nignt one of the women police was seriously hurt. It was Lola Alice Merritt. Alter winning the beauty contest recently held at London, Lauretta Cingoranelli left for a cruise around the world. Captain of the good ship “Lollypop” Ed Trivett, is again reported deserting his duties for the beautiful Esther Camfield. Flash! Flash! Big news comes from Soutn Africa. C. C. Mooi--head is progressing very well in his occupation. He is now teaching natives to knit. Good old C. C. Great work is being done in Alaska to rescue the unfortunate people who have fallen in crevices. Wilma Lautaret is doing great work as an assistant to St. Bernard. Double flash! The great paper doll artist, Clara Ficco, has just finished a new set of baby dolls. Keep the good work up. Johnnie Petry, great designer of Ladies Clothes now has ready all spring suits of his latest creation. The largest, best, and most up-to-date beauty salon in San Diego is owned by Gerald Clifton. The advertisement reads: “All work guaranteed and absolutely no flirting with the proprietor.” The latest picture of Mae’s hasn’t yet been released. Tomalee Lewis plays the great double in her latest picture. While sitting in an open air cafe we heard much of the class of ’36 and get to see some of them. Earl Beverstock, someone says, is digging ditches in New Mexico. Hard work for Earl. No, that isn’t Thelma Todd going down the street. We were told that is Melissa Louth. Who is that coming there with all the little girls following after him?” we ask. That’s David Kimpton. He had an orchestra known as the “Royal Coloradoans’.” but tired of it; he is now teaching little girls how to play hop-scotch. Did someone say Helen Rueger? Why yes, she is now busy raising chickens in California. A lady with a beard! She must belong to some circus, and she does. It is Kathleen Munson, the bearded lady of the circus._________ There goes Sam Stoddard in overalls! We thought he was working on the sour notes of the New York Times. What? He was a failure and is now on relief. No, you must be mistaken. The voice that comes over the telephone every time, with “number please” couldn’t be Vonda Scollick’s. Yes, she is now Operator 13. Bill Baxter has found the perfect occupation for himself. He’s a pai’achute jumper. With those feet he ought to be good. Dorothy Phillips is trying her luck at tree sitting. Don’t get surprised to see her in any old tree. Frances Slack couldn’t leave Rockvale so she’s a beauty operator on Tenth Ave., Rockvale. Page 19 SENIOR PLAY “THE PATSY’’ Bill Harrington ..........

Page 20 JUNIOR CLASS On September 11 the first meeting of the Junior Class was held with class organization as its objective. Fifty-two members attended this meeting and the class of 1937 started its Junior year with enthusiasm. The social activities for this group started early in the year with a picnic at the Skyline Drive on September 13. Shortly after this, the Juniors and Seniors gave a dance in the high school gymnasium. Various members of the Class of 1937 have distinguished themselves in dramatics. In the Contest plays, the Juniors received nearly all of the awards. The Junior play, ’‘The Red Lamp,” won first place. Sara Davis received the honor prize for being the second best actress, Opal Pyles took the third place title and bill Zontine walked away from the rest of the boy actors with first place. Bill Bowman came nexc with second place, followed by Rupert Edwards who took the position as third best actor. The All-School play claimed three worthy Juniors w'ho proved their ability and did the Juniors justice. Eight Juniors are members of Thespians and eight are members of Mask and Wig. On March 27, the Junior play, ‘‘Agatha’s Aunt,” was presented. The cast and their director, Miss Kimpton, worked very hard to present the successful performance. Other activities claimed the attention of many Juniors. The orchestra had six Juniors enrolled, the Reflector staff had thirteen. Debate Club, five; Honor Roll was made up of eleven Juniors, Home Economics Club dontained fourteen, and the “F” Club has eight Junior boys enrolled. Various members of the Junior class have been prominent in athletics this year. Four members of the; football squad were Juniors, and Albert Batista, a Junior, was selected as captain for next year. The Juniors had two members on the high school basketball team. The class also had a large entry in the annual Boxing and Wrestling Exhibition. The Junior entertained the Seniors at Prom on May 1. A floor show, with Bill Zontine as Master of Ceremonies, was presented. The gymnasium depicted a typical Dutch scene. This was a most delightful affair. The Juniors closed this most successful year by a picnic, and Miey will not meet again together as a class until next September when ‘hey enroll as the Senior Class. CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT ......

We continue to grow and are becoming in our opinion the most progressive class in Florence High School. The total enrollment of the class is sixty-five, making it the largest in the school. The class began its social activities for the year by having a picnic at the Skyline Drive. After the picnic members of the party attended a carnival in Canon City, and upon returning home all reported a very good time. Later in the year we had another picnic and a swimming party at the Carlsbad Natatorium in Canon City. This event was also a great success. In January the Sophomores entertained at a skating party. A large number of guests, as well as Sophomores, greatly enjoyed this. Many Sophomores displayed their talents and became prominent in dramatics. Six of our number took part in the all school play, “Watch your Step.” When the contest plavs were given the Sophomores presented “Bett’s Best Bet.” Donald Mott won fourth honors as an actor by his performance in this production. We have six members in “Mask and Wig.” Members of our class do not neglect their studies for activities and social affairs. This is indicated by the fact that twelve Sophomores have been on the honor roll. Two of them, Vivian Kier and Helen Martin, were on the “A” honor roll for the first semester. Athletics claim the attention of many Sophomores. Five were out for football, two of them making letters; six were out for basketball. Our class had many entries in the track meet which was held on April 24. and in the boxing and wrestling show also. The girls, too, were active in athletics. The Sophomore girls team, of which Jessie Blankenship is Captain, made a good showing in the inter-class tournament. Three Sophomores are “F” Club members. They are Kenneth Channell, Fred Dalpaiz, and Richard Zamparelli. Several times during the year ticket selling contests were held. In these the Sophomores seemed to have great success and members of our class were admitted to several games at reduced prices for selling the most tickets. Other activities in which Sophomores took part were many and varied. There are three of them in the school orchestra and three in the Debate Club. Twenty-five girls are members of the Home Economics Club. The Sophomores closed this most eventful year with a class picnic. This was their last meeting as Sophomores. When they meet again they will be haughty Upper-Classmen. OFFICERS PRESIDENT .................. Kenneth Channell VICE-PRESIDENT .................. Donald Mott SECRETARY .......................

It was held near Wetmore and the members of the class became re-acquainted. This paved the way for a class party which was given in the high school gymnasium on November 5. Dancing and cards provided the entertainment, and refreshments were served at the close of the evening. A skating party was held by the class on December 20. This was held just before Christmas vacation in order that the Freshmen might have time to recuperate. A Valentine party was given on February 14 in the high school gymnasium. Dancing and cards were the diversions of the evening. Dainty refreshments were served at a late hour. Several Freshmen students joined the Debate club.

The first activity that was undertaken was the collecting of pictures of famous actors and actresses and scenes from great plays. These were placed in scrap-books. I his gave the members an opportunity to become more familiar with the famous plavs and motion pictures. The group next studied plays and the construction of plays. They discussed the fundamentals of play writing, learned more about plots and their construction, and studied the things that are credited with making plays popular. Pantomiming was the next topic taken up by the group, they were given a chance to show their originality and talent in this phase of the work. Under this part of the course an assembly of pantomime was prepared and presented. The members of this organization were given lessons in make-up, being shown the proper procedure to take when applying make-up. how to get different effects, and how to apply make-up in the proper amounts. They were also given lessons in directing a piay. 1 hey were shown how to arrange the stage tastefully, how to place the characters on the stage in order to have it appear balanced. Lessons were given in acting. Exercises were given to help them develop poise and grace while on the stage, as well as developing a stage voice and overcoming timidity. A year of work in “Mask and ig’ is necessary for eligibility to National Thespians. Miss Augusta Kimpton is the sponsor of the “Mask and Wig. Page 41 DEBATE CLUB The Debate Club was organized in September. Twenty members joined the club at that time. Practice debates on various subjects were held until Christmas vacation. After Christmas vacation work was begun on the state question. The question this year was: Resolved: That the several states should enact legislation providing for a complete system of medical care available to all citizens at public expense. On March 14. 1936, the team, Marjorie Uhrlaub and Joyce Ber-ardi, Affirmative, and Marion Stevens and Irene Kitto, Negative, attended the Debate Tournament at Pueblo. The debates held there were practice debates. The Debate Club presented a three act play on December 13. 1935. The play, a comedy, was entitled “The Ready-Made Family.’’ Miss Eleanor Uhrlaub directed the play, which was very successful. The play was given for the purpose of obtaining funds for the club. Joyce Berardi entertained the members of the club at a Hallowe’en Masquerade Party. On March 18 a meeting was held and the members of the club decided to continue having practice debates until some time in May. In previous years, if the teams went to the Tournament the meetings were discontinued after the tournaments. The officers of the Debate Club for this year are: President .......................

The Club held candy sales to raise money with which they bought cretonne to cover the furniture in the teacher’s rest room. The Manual Training Classes repaired the furniture for them, and the girls covered the furniture as a part of their class work. It is now possible to use this furniture on the stage, which adds a lot to the equipment that can be used in dramatics. The first semester the club held a style show for their mothers. In addition to presenting the garments the girls had made in class, a skit depicting the variety of women’s dress worn in the United States from Colonial Days to the present day was given. Musical numbers were also presented. The second semester the girls entertained their mothers and the faculty members at a tea. The girls of the club have had an extensive study, not only in Home Economics, but also in making the most of Home Economics by being gracious hostesses OFFICERS President .......................

S. and not the least ot these was the revival of a discontinued activity—the orchestra. Tt has not been current in this school for a number of years, but, because of the efforts of Mr. L. E. Edwards, was started again under his direction. The orchestra had eighteen members consisting of one Freshman, three Sophomores, five Juniors, five Seniors, two Post-Graduates, a teacher and the director, Mr. L. E. Edwards, who was appropriately tailed Maestro by the students. The practices were held formerly at seven o’clock on Wednesday evenings but were changed for convenience to one o’clock Wednesday afternoons in the high school auditorium. The hour was devoted to classical orchestrations only. I he orchestra made its first public appearance when it played for the Debate Club Play, “Ready Made Family.” It also played before the student body at an assembly in the middle of the year. They were asked to play between acts at the all-chool play, “Watch Your Step” that was given on the evening of February 7, 1936. The orchestra also played several numbers for the Junior play, “Agatha’s Aunt,” which was presented in the Auditorium on March 27. The last of their performances was for the Senior Play, “The Patsy,” of May 8. The orchestra is quite proud of its year and believe it was worth the effort.

Cheer leaders are chosen according to their ability to lead and direct school yells. A main leader, Merle Tedesko. was chosen from the boys, and also a main leader. Molly Frew, was selected from the girls. Three assistants were also elected. They were: Sunta Alberico. Ruby Stiner and Bill Zontine. In the second semester Miss Jackson designed new costumes for the cheer leaders. These costumes improved the appearance of the cheer leaders at the games. Page 51 FOOTBALL THE TEAM Kenneth Channell—Could outrun any opponent, especially when carrying' the ball. Bill Baxter—Called “Feats, but could he snag passes. Bob Carrethers—A tackle noted for his skill in blocking punts. John Petry—The tackle who never missed and was also a battering ram. “Red” Dalpaiz—A guard who seldom let a play pass. Elmer Vandenbos—A guard that was like an “Iron Wall.” “Spots” Moorhead—The center and the life of the team. Albert Batista—A quarter-back, small but mighty. Could he return the ball. Chris Fagan—A halfback from Glenwood Springs. “Babe” Beverstock—Fullback and yardage man. The members of the second team who received letters were: Morton Shade, tackle; Jim Dick Edwards, Freshman center; Jack Dennerline. backfield man; John Blankenship, guard; Kenneth Esse-mier. tackle. Page 52 FOOTBALL The first day of school, Coach Portenier issued an announcement for all athletes interested in football to report at Palmer Field. Twelve letter men and also a large number of prospects responded to the call, and started practice immediately. The squad elected Bill Baxter and John Petry as co-captains.. After a few wreeks of practice, the Huskies journeyed to Walsen-burg to combat with the “Panthers.” The outcome of this game was not favorable, since we lost 19 to 0. The Huskies were also unfortunate in losing to Canon City and to St. Mary’s at Walsenburg. The game with St. Mary’s proved to be very exciting. The Huskies showed in the game how to stage a “comeback.” The sdore at the half was 19 to 6 in St. Mary’s favor, and the final score was 24 to 25 in St. Mary’s favor. The team trounced St. Pat’s of Pueblo to the tune of 12 to 0. This is, not the only victory we had to our credit for we defeated the Mutes of Colorado Springs, 18 to 8, and tied a return game with them by a score of 13 to 13.. There was more school and public spirit this year than there has been for a long time. The business men of Florence presented the team with “Warmup Jerseys.” A public address system and press box were erected on Palmer Field. These were of interest to the spectators. Mr. Charles announced the games play by play. The Florence High School is indebted to Mr. L. E. Edwards for directing a band that put “pep” into our cheering section. The graduating class of ’36 takes many Huskies of the Florence football team with it. They are as follows: Bob Carrethers, Bill Baxter, John Petry, “Babe” Beverstock, C. C. Moorhead, Kenneth Esse-meier. Page 53 A large number of prospective “cagemen” responded to Coach Portenier’s call to basketball practice. Having lost only one “first-stringer” last year the team still clicked perfectly. The Huskies experienced a very successful season by winning nine games out of the fourteen they played. The players and their postitions on the team were as follows: Bill Baxter, guard; John Petry, guard; Elmer Vandenbos, center; Albert Batista, forward: Clinton Edwards, forward. Members of the Second team who also received letters and thus became eligible for membership in the “F” Club were: Daniel Gonzales and Marion McCandless. Albert Batista and Marion McCandless were elected as co-captains for next year.

In the Fremont County Junior League they took second place. They won the first seven and lost the last three games which necessitated a playoff. Roosevelt won the playoff thirteen to twelve in an over time period. Mosbarger, regular forward was lost to the team through illness. He was voted honorary captain for the past season by the team. Delling, eighth grade forward, played an outstanding game throughout the year. Coach Portenier was very generous to give his time and effort to the Freshman team. Players and their positions were as follows: Forwards, Allen Delling, Jim Edwards, Andrew Julius, Bobby Donaldson; guards. Sam Bowman, Vernon Smith, Forrest Vandenbos: centers, Morton Schade, Earl Mosbarger. Scores of the Freshmen Junior High games are as follows: Portland 15 . Wilson 5 .... Portland 10 .

Interest in the meet this year was heightened by the fact that the Florence Junior Chamber of Commerce was to award a track trophy to the winning class. This trophy is a silver track figure mounted on a black standard which bears a silver plate, upon which the name of the winning class will be engraved this year and each year in the future. This trophy was won this year by the Junior class with a total of 48 7 8 points. The Freshman class placed second with 38 9 10 points, the Senior third with 25 15 points, and the Sophomores took the cellar position with 18 1 5 points. First individual honors for the day went to Morton Schade who had a total of 15 points. Bill Baxter placed second with 11 points: and Fred Dalpiaz, Keith Fisher, and Clinton Edwards tied for third place with 9 points each. Two new records were established this year: 36 ft. 6 in. for the shot put was made by Morton Schade, and Fred Dalpiaz won the 880 yard dash in 2 minutes 30.8 seconds. These records are very good considering the fact they were made on a small track. Coach Portenier took several oil the boys who made good records in this inter-class track meet to Colorado Springs on Saturday, May 2, to enter a track! meet there.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK FLORENCE, COLORADO Page 65 —m Why Drive Anything Less Than A V-8? When you spend your money for a car—get your money’s worth. Get a car that has a V-type engine—the type of engine that powers the world’s fastest car, speedboat, and airplane. No car under $1,600 has a V engine, except Ford, and over 25 million Ford V-8’s have proved their economy on the road. Once you sit behind the wheel of a V-8 and feel its pick-up—you’ll readily understand why thousands of experienced car owners are owners of Ford V-8’s. We’ll gladly let you make a convincing trial.

He died------ Seventy years later. The Reflector offers some excuses for students quitting school: Sophomores quit because — just lack of brains. Juniors quit because — some poor excuse. Seniors quit because — can’t stand the strain. Wife: “Darling I’m sorry I’ve been so mean to you lately.” Husband: “Well this is a fine time to be sorry. I’m dead broke.” Kenneth C.: “Dad didn’t you tell me that you flunked in History with a 66 once?” Mr. C.: “Yes.” Kenneth C.: “Well you know how history repeats itself.” A noted New York lung specialist says that a man who sings at the top of his voice for 'n hour upon arising will not be troubled by chest complaints in his old age. The chances are he won’t even be troubled by old age. Page 76 Mr. Gorman: “What are ‘Gentleman Farmers’?” Morris Cafky: “Well, they’re farmers that raise their hats but not much else.” CHEAPER Pat went into a drug store for an empty bottle. Selecting one that answered his purpose, he asked, “How much?” “Well,” answered the clerk, “If you want the empty bottle it will be five cents, but if you have something put into the bottle we won’t charge you for the bottle.” “Sure, that’s fair enough,” said Pat. “Put in a cork.” Proud Father: “Of course my son has studied foreign language. Say ‘hello’ to the man in algebra, John.” A GOOD DESCRIPTION “Did you enjoy your dinner, sir?” asked the solicitious restaurant proprietor. “Yes, except the, dessert. That was terrible.” “Did you have the plum tart or lemon pie?” “I don’t know. It tasted like glue!” “Ah! It was the plum tart. The lemon pie tastes like paste.” STRANGE Melissa Louth handed the telegraph operator a telegram to be sent which contained only the single word “Yes.” Desiring to be of real help to patrons of his company, the operator said: “You know you can send nine more words for the same price.” “I know I can,” replied Melissa. “but don’t you think it would look like I am too anxious if I said it ten times?” AUTOGRAPHS Page 78
