jicmthal This year, because of few social events, the Senior Class became somewhat dull or dead. This era of dullness or deadness prevailed only a short while, as one of our classmates, Charlie White, appeared with a Scandal Sheet, which was to be published weekly, and was read by Seniors only. The word Scandal woke us from our dullness, and stirred plenty of controversy. As each copy was edited, the sheet became more and more slanderous. Disaster came, after several sheets were seen by the faculty. The sheet was resumed and was then known as the Gossiper, which was sold to all teachers and students. This didn ' t prove-very successful, as it was cen sored by faculty advisers, and only a little scandal appeared. The following are selections from the editions: Jimmy Boucher has promised to repeat his sensational feat of scoring a basket for an opposing team if promised immunity from Mr. Hilbert’s wrath. These events would be MIRACLES if they ever should happen. If Brute Riley quit being a fish for DYNAMITE MARTEL. If the editor escapes annihilation, and quits being a FISH. If the hyphen on this typewriter ever works right. If SUNSHINE SIMON ever quits trying to get a drag with her teachers. HOLD IT — MISS SIMON —■ Remember the punishment for murder. If Dago DeBaggis ever quits chastizing Miss Lawrence in Italian. The female species of the school have united, and intend to edit a counter-scandal sheet. We at least have the honor of editing the original. The editors, all females, include, Lillian Saltman, Phyllis Davis, Elizabeth Hale, Eleanor Holmes, Ruth Carlson, and Russell Chase. If you don ' t think Ronny Palumbo is a second Cab Calloway, come around to the auditorium some noon. Mrs. Riley: John, the trouble with you is that you are too lazy. Why don’t you work as the industrious ants do? Flabby: Nope, not me, I’m too smart: work or no work the ants get stepped on. We had always considered Hot-Cha Mann fairly intelligent, but imagine the vice-president of the Senior class going home and telling his father his mid-year exam marks the night of an important game. What a change a year can make in a youth. A year ago this time, Cummings was just a studious, brilliant, and apparently over- serious young man. Look at him now. He goes around singing popular songs, expresses his opinion of prominent orchestras, harasses Miss L ittlefield by making unasked-for comments and topped it all off last Friday afternoon. Enter today’s comedians: Oo-fa Turco: Say, Turkey, what ever happened to Axle Bennett’s iron will, that he used to brag so much about? Turkey Burgess: Oh, “Good-Time” Nelson’s tears rusted it. Doc. Frazer recently congratulated your correspondent on the last Scandal Sheet. Was the editor’s face crimson? Nick Vignone is still slightly love-sick. The girl responsible for the deplorable condition aforementioned, “Brain Storm” Longton by name, is hereby officially notified that she owes ye editor 10 . It might not be a bad idea if: George Vozzella quit claiming he is a star boxer. Telo Catalano quit hanging around the Sophomore girls. Dumb David Mann: Say, Jack, I saw your car parked down at the lake last night for two hours. What was the matter? Did you have a flat tire? Jack McMorrow: If she had been, do you think I would have kept her there two hours? T iventy
