Mr Shumate: I had intended to, till I read the alluring story my advertising man wrote; then I decided I would keep it myself. The World gladly welcomes the graduate of Jackson High.

-■ 9 OSKY WOW - 1918 A TRAGEDY : (.Stage directions: Miss Martin had been telling her Freshman Latin Clas« about Caesar’s famous Tenth Legion, and finished by informing them that when they became Sophomores, if i heir school work was excellent enough to be compared with the military accomplishments of the Tenth Legion, they, too could be called members of the Tenth Legion. Now read on.) Scene 1 The Freshman Latin Class on the following day. Enter The Freshmen riding on ponies, accompanied by Miss Martin, on foot. Bertha H approaching Miss Martin timidly: “Miss Martin, I want to ask you a very personal question; and I really don’t k'iow whether I ought to or not.” Miss Mrrtin reassuringly: ‘‘Well. Ber- tha, we can just step into the office, it will he more private there.” Scene 2 The office. Enter Miss Martin and Bertha. Miss Martin: “Well, Bertha, what is it? Bertha: I want to know if Corliss Parry is a member of the Tenth Legion.” Jim has a friend, he's not very old. But still he’s long si nee gray; He’s not a man, but more faithful, they say-He’s Jim’s old Fox-dog. Tray. Old Tray, they say, is very gay. And handsome, strong and wise; But say ! he isn’t in it, When it comes to my old dogTige. —Author Unknown DONT’S FOR SENIORS: Don’t try to emulate Tim’s Six feet two; it can’t be done. Don’t eat so much as you did when you were Freshmen : it isn’t patriotic to act the hog. Don’t crib your Latin and Spanish ; it’s liable to ruin your sight. (And your grades too, if teachers find it out). Don’t try to talk as much as Marianne; you might wear out the language. Don’t argue wTith Mr Shumate; he's too old to change his mind. Don’t wait for Wyke to make a noise to know he’s present; he never says much (in a recitation). Puer ex Jersey lens ad school; Vidit in meadow Infestum mule. Ille approaches-O magnus sorrow! Puer it skyward Finis to-morrow. Moral Qui vidit a thing Non ei well-known Est bene for him Id relinqui alone. —Anonymous Ira’s opinion of Wyke: Pour years have passed, nd Wyke is still in the Arithmetic class! Wyke’s opinion of Ira, Say, wonder where Ira gets all his Latin translations?

OSKY WOW 1918 Gert Morgan (motoring with Kagle Beak): Do you think the automobile will displace the horse? Kagle Beak (very thoughtfully): It will if it hits him. Pu» Dewey after the football fame wifh Portsmouth. Corinne Evans: Do you think that clothes make a man? Eagle Beak: Gertainlv: a good suit has made many a lawyer. News It»m The annual burning of Virgil will be dispensed with this year, due to the high cost of paper. Certain of the Spanish students who were formerly troubled with insomnia, have found a remedy at last. Upon retiring, they repeat several times those soothing wor s of Wallace. “Spanish is an abomination.” (Peaceful sleep follows almost invariably. ) Mr Kinnison: Did any of you girls lose a bracelet? Girls: No. Mr Kinnison: Did you Fogarty? Have you any aim in life, Walter? asked Mr Shumate. Yes, Sir. I have two aims. What are they, Walter? The first is to be a millionaire, and— The second? The second is to be a multi-millionaire. The entire faculty regret to announnce that thev have failed to appreciate Edwin Arthur’s much-used idom, “seen” and also, David Shively’s “Who me?” Here's hoping that their after-sehool.day friends may meet with the same failure. Lines of Virgil all remind us If we had old Virgil here. We could move but leave behind us Tawny foo’-prints on his ear. Thomas Gerken: Do you know that thev have guards around the school house at night now? Ira Stephenson • Why? What for? Thomas: Because they found dynamite and explosives in the dictionary. A truly marvelous picture, Kay Johnson and Vint McCoy in full action.
