18 TRUE BLUE PROVERBS 1. An answer in the head is worth two in the book. 2. A good answer turneth away zero. 3. An answer in time saves nine. Say, P., and J., and E. And all you awful chumps, Yot’ll have to mend your manners, And not make so many jumps When you go down stairs. Or sure as you’re alive You’ll have a private column Five minutes after time. So you better keep your feet right And mind what you are about, Or Miss Feeny’s agoin’ to get you. Ef You Don’t Watch Out. It is the psyche twist which all girls wear, Who would the latest “do up” have in hair. Year after year behold the silent toil! Each one a martyr to her lustrious coil. Build up more stately headress, O my girl. Keep up the pace in old Dame Fashion’s whirl. Let each new coiffure crimpier than the past, Cover your head with a dome more vast, Till your identity be lost in hair And all forgotten the pretty face once there. SOCIABLE CONUNDRUMS If you were to quit school suddenly, would anyone miss you? Are you a real part of the school, or are you a wall flower, or desk orna- ment? Are you a booster or a knocker? Do yon go with the brainless scrubs, and knock, or do you boost? Anyone can be a knocker; As anyone can be a rough neck. But it takes a MAN to be a MAN. Subscription to True Blue, given by writer, to person showing most noticeable results. —L. C. ’15.

TRUE BLUE 17 AFTER THE RIVER FALLS GAME The day is done and the darkness Falls on our vanquished team, Like balm upon their bruises, Of plaster and cold cream. And a feeling of sadness comes o’er me That is almost akin to pain, As I silently counted the nickels. That I lost on that foot-ball game. Be sure and “boost” Basket Ball. (Phy. Geo.) Miss Thurston.—“What mountains are north of Sahara Desert?” Arthur P.—“Rocky Mountains.” Peter Severson has been requested to write a poem for each issue of the True Blue. His first one will appear in the next issue. A MATTER OF FORM. Miss Feenv, in geometry—“Hilda, your figure is far from perfect.” Miss Brown—“Martin, give a quotation 1 assigned for today.” Martin—“I know not how, but a-a-a—” Miss Brown—“1 guess you don’t.” A STUDENT’S DICTIONARY Athlete—A dignified bunch of muscles, unable to split wood or sift ashes. Blue—The only color we can feel after monthly examinations. College—From French “colli” pasted or stuck, and “etude” study. A place where everyone is stuck on study (?). Crow—A bird that never complains without caws. Explosion in Lab.—A good chance to begin at the bottom and work up. Face—A fertile, open expanse lying midway between collar button and scalp, and full of cheek, chin, and chatter. Humor—An outbreak of the brain considered rash. Idle—Useless. Idolize—To make useless. Incandescent—From Latin “incendo” to burn, and English “cent’ an in- vention for burning money. Infant—A disturber of the peace. Joke (Teacher’s)—A form of humor enjoyed by one and misunderstood by many. Tennis—A game in which the participants enjoy a racaet on the side and raise the deuce over a net, w'hile the volleys drive them from set to set, and love scores as often as it is mentioned. I-ois late ( as usual)—“Of course they rang the bell too soon.”

TRUE BLUE 19 SOMETHING WRONG Just stop and think a moment, And I’m sure you all will say That it’s apt to keep us hustling. If each teacher we obey. “How long did you study your History?” Asks Miss Holden in accents clear. “One period ma’am,” “Twill never do; You won’t get thru this year.” And Shorthand needs two periods. Not a minute less will do. Physics needs two also. And English Literature two. Now we have just seven periods To study and recite, Reciting six, and study nine. Have I got the number right?
