TRUE BLUE :3o We marched out orderly two ,by two, How grand it all did seem, When with a start I realized, —That it was all a drem. Teacher — “Andy, what is a furlough ?” Andy— “A furlough is a mule.” Teacher, (with stern look.) “What?” Andy—“Well, here’s a picture of a soldier on a mule and it says ‘Going Home on a Furlough.” —Exchange. In Ancient History, the worst of them all You find it quite hard some names to recall. Of Aristotle or Alex divine, Or that hairless poet whose bald head did shine, Or Themistocles, or Darius the Third, Or Hermes, the God, who flew like a bird, Or Cimon, the Archcn who having no sand, Was finally ostracized out of the land, And still there are others too numerous to name Such as Socrates the wise man, who won great fame. Now pupils and scholars, each boy and girl If ever at times your head’s in a whirl, If ever at times your heads in a whirl, Just take out your history and study these men, And take it from me, there’s plentv of them. H. H. ’22 Little Bonnie’s dimples O me! 0 my! 0 me! She captivates ’em. Cultivates ’em, Vamps ’em, Then drops em. O me! O mv! O me! W W..T T. ’21 Dear Miss McCarthy: Why don’t you use discretion in your tests ? Yours truly, Arthur Staberg. Dear Faculty: You are better fit for teaching if you’d stay away from those conventions. We’d rather go without the vacation than to have your minds filled with those new ideas. Yours sincerely, The Students.

2i) TRUE BLUE Charles D., convincing the English class that an automobile s easier to drive than a horse. Chas. D. (enthusiastically)—“Why you can drive with one hand and operate with the other.”—Oh, Charley! II y a une jeune fille nomme Jane, Qui donne tous les maitres une grande pain, Elle mange si much the gum, Qu’ elle fait la chambre hum Avec le bruit de son fatigue tongue. —A. K. H. ’20 Miss McCarthy in History Class: “Charles, tell us about the Baptists.” Charles D: “All I know is they haven't any minister now.” Freshman: At a football game—“Look at the mud on the players’ clothes!” Another Greenie: “Huh! What do you suppose they have a scrub team for?” —Exchange. Geometry is like the moon, Upon a cloudy night, As true as anything can be, And yet quite out of sight.— Exchange. In Book-keeping class (Jessie Iverson who is constantly talk ing to Veronica Burke) Miss C.—“Jessie is there anything you would like to know ? Jessie I.—“Yes, but Veronica knows it. “Ma, can I go out and play?” “What! With two holes in your stocking?” “No, with the boy next door.” —Exchange. It isn’t the original cost, its the upkeep of your reputation (?) in English. IMPOSSIBLE I walked into the Auditorium, And the air was warm and sweet And everyone was sitting Most quietly in his seat. There wasn’t once a whisper. We studied all day long, The periods were so short and snappy, I thought “What can be wrong?”

31 TRUE BLUE Dear Boys: We have shown our pep at the games. Let’s have some of yours at these social hours. Signed, “The Girls.” Dear Mr. Nordby: I should think your war stories would be almost exhaust- ed by now. How long did you stay over, anyway ? Yours truly, A Sophomore. Dear Mr. Principal: The report cards were issued yesterday and I’d ilke to know who said, “Ignorance is Bliss?” Yours respectfully, B. H. Hansen. To My Dear Teachers: Why can’t some small machine which would fit in the pocket, be invented.that would manufacture our lessons? I remain as ever, Geraldine T. “AIN’T IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELING’’ When you see the teacher look at you and then call on someone else? When you can “parlez” your English like a book? When Helen Hughes makes a mistake ? When teacher looks at you and s-s-miles? Teacher—“Now if you’Jl give the blackboard your attention, I’ll run over it again.” —Exchange. The answers to these puns is the Latin of the heavily scored words: What standing do we all want to get from our teachers? (Ex) What is the thing that automobile owners love to do? (Res) What does litle Johnny King do when he has mowed the grass? (Rex) When you stumble over a chair at night, what do you get ? (Nox) —Exchange
