You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but the rest of the time they make fools of themselves. A man (Mr. Carpenter) with a load of fertilizer was driving his wagon past an insane aslyum w'hen an axle broke. As he prepared to fix it, the window opened and an inmate (Mr. Coke) asked. “What are you doing?” Wishing to humor him, Mr. Carpenter answered, “I’m fixing the axle on my wagon.” “What have you got in the wagon?” was the next question. “Fertilizer,” he answered, again. “What are you going to do with it?” “I’m going to take it home and put it on my rhubarb.” The inmate gasped, “I used to put sugar on mine, and they put ME in the insane asylum.” [9]

September 26. Football On the North Bend field, the Grants Pass boys held their team to a tied score of 6 to 6. The game was a well fought battle with Grants Pass scoring in the third quarter. Our idea of a lazy man is the one who sang, “Moonbeams Kiss Her For Me.’ Puppy love is the beginning of a dog’s life. Napoleon’s men were cannibals because they existed on raw recruits. All brutes are imperfect animals. Man alone is a perfect beast. Homer was not written by Homer, but by another man by that name. When you breathe you inspire; when you do not breathe, you expire. Achilles was a man whose mother took him by the heel and held him in the river Stinx until he was intolerable. You can distribute bacteria by being too close friends. Possession of evil spirits means feeling like the devil. A curve is a straight line that has been bent. A miracle is anything that someone does that can't be done. [«)

r g 3 2 THE T O K A i 9 3 2 October I 7. Football Although the Grants Pass team was again defeated on its home field, this lime by Medford by a score of 25 to 7, the boys proved that there is more to a game than merely the score. Sportsmanship is the greatest element in any game, marbles or Olympic. After holding a championship, defeat is even more distasteful, but our boys “took it on the chin” in a way that deserves comment. We’ll put out a champion team next year, they say with a smile. With nine lettermen as prospectives for the next year, there is no reason why Grants Pass can’t be on the map again. But after all, we must remember it isn t whether you won or lost, but how you played the game.” The team consisted of Fredericks and McGuire, ends; Strack and 1 hompson, tackles; Massie and Palmer, center; Corporon, Jaquette, and Voetberg, guards; Carrell and Nickison, quarterback; Neely, fullback; Wiley and O’Neil, halfbacks; Wyatt and Flory, blocking halfbacks. Voice from the bottom of football scrimmage: “Say. who’s been eating onions? How did you find the weather when you were away? Oh, I just went outside and there it was. October I 7. High School Parties A visitor at the high school was alarmed at the atmosphere of excitement which was so unusual for the peaceful students of the High School. L pon inquiry the visitor was informed that the first High School party of the year, to be held in the library auditorium, had been announced. Never having attended one of the parties, he couldn t understand why this should have such an effect on the students, so he decided to go and look on at this one. When the great night arrived, the visitor slipped in to the party unnoticed. Standing at the back of the room where he could see everything that went on, the visitor noticed that those who had joined in the games, led by Mr. Jackson, were enjoying themselves, but he also noticed that a number of boys and girls were standing near the sides of the room and that they seemed bashful and afraid to join in the fun (these he afterwards learned were freshmen). About 9 o’clock the orchestra arrived and dancing w'as enjoyed for the remainder of the evening. Those who did not care to dance played cards. By fragments of conversation that drifted to him, the visitor learned that each month the High School Parent-Teacher association, with Mrs. E. S. Van Dyke as chairman of the committee, gave a party for the students. Parents and faculty were welcome to attend these parties. Diner; Hey, waiter—hey! Waiter: All right, sir, but we shall have to send out for it. [101
