Zllibt Iatnrentian sent down more dames like Marjy. The Irish in Gus probably helps win some of the B. B. games, being captain he has the best chance of saying what he thinks Cand maybe a little morej to the team! Lucy has her laif down pat now Ce gs for dinner every dayj. The 11th grade has plenty of wisecrackers, just spend the fifth and sixth periods in 212 and find out for yourself. just a few examples -it happened that we held a class meeting and the president asked that we give our ideas by making motions -Googie immediately got up and began to esture with his hands fBright fellowj. Sometime when Sadie is feeling O. K. ask her what she knows about Clearfield CDon't get sore, Sadiel. Ethe' never seems to talk about her B. F.-Oh no! Not much-if you want to find 'out just carry yourself to the lockers before a game Cnot that we mean to squeall .... Strange as it seems the 11th Grade does contain some valuables -Marjy Davis often sings over the radio ...... Dot Peterman I believe, has her own orchestra-Ahem! George and Bill are in the navy .... Esther Anderson plays the violin . . Miss Johnson says that the 11th grade has accom' plished the art of making an outline. . .Ethel Lytle is taking up dancing ,... our class includes the majority of the varsity, both boys and girls: -Gus, Bill, Ethel, Millie, Rusty, Lucy, and Sadie .... They tore their hair in wild despair Tet grieve not for this fearful lot, And wrung their hands in pain, And have for them no fears, They leaped into the started air, Maniacs, and yet they're not, Arid then came down again, They simply lead the cheers. Don't get excited we are just describing Sadie and Jack .... it's a good thing Herbie rescued joe from the fourth period type-Joe used to be the only male ftch! rch! Joel .... Betty is so sweet tempered she won't even do cross multiplication .... A good motto for Scotty: If I am too small to do great things, I can at least do small things in a great way . . .Orpha sure knows her shorthand .... Isn't it odd that Fagan never tells Gus where to get off at? .... the junior Kid Party turned out quite a success .... the bread and jam was satisfying .... Dan will probably turn out to be a successful lawyer because at times his ability to use words kinda makes the rest of us tiny .... When you want an earful of good hotcha singing, be around the girls' locker on practice night and hear Sadie lead the B. B. girls to Minnie the Moocher .... From reports we have heard, we wonder if Frank remembers he is a preacher's son ISO is Mr. Skala COuchD1... Jelly Beans seemed to rule the school at Easter. . .Nuff 'Ced -By Rusty and Millie, Bailey's Review . QJQ SWEET REMEMBERANCES Gus Bailey- I'm not hard to get along with. CWesleyvilleJ. Herbie Frick- I hear Kate Smith is going off the air. Rusty Glasgow- You don't mean to tell me ! Millie Ekstrom- What do you think ? Swede Anderson- Don't bother me, I'm busy. Ray Kahl- Guess I'll go for a walk. Miss Johnson- Ray, sit in the corner! Sadie Richards- Buy me a green one. jack Roberts- I'll take vanilla. Frank O.- Got your Algebra, Gordon?

L UCILLE Ross Quinioa CHATTER A squirrel looked at the eleventh grade Then his mothefs gaze did meet, Yes, darling . said the mother, But that's not the kind we eat. HIS class of ours ,e.. you can sure hand it to Gus for being late. . .he has missed hardly a day this year. Wbz1t's the attraction, Gus? And talkin' about records, Jack and Rav sure have it for being kicked out of class ,... last time we heard Googie was ahead, but it didn't take jack long to catch up. Herbie doesn't have the moon over the mountain for Kate Smith yet .... Gordon certainly surprised us when he passed out gum for the whole class. Alas! History Class came. 'LAftisket, aftasket, we all had to go to the waste basket. Incidently, lviarion, when is Gus going to give you that thrill? Isn't it just a shame that Googie bothers Swede so much in History Class? He's gotten many a good crack from her. What makes Russel's one cheek bulge so? CI wonder??J Bill makes a good attempt at imitating Bing Crosby ..,. be is rather good. Marjy Davis is trying to diet- lots of luck, Marjy. Some Sophomores are so dumb Cnot mentioning any namesj that they take a yard stick to bed with them to see how long they sleep. I wonder why Dick and Tommy started to take P. G. courses when they did? fody Hague's only ambition is to wander about the halls. Ethel and Herbie average about 50 words a minute in typeeswell record for first year. We heard that Nlarion likes to drive a Ford coure, and also that there has been competition between her and her girl friend. The boys in L. P. would probably like it quite a lot if Vincent ll pf?

The Iamrzntian Jokes Frank O.- What would you give for a voice like mine? Ethel-' 'Chloroform. ' ' Miss johnson- This is a clever little story you've written, but why did you name the leading man Adam? ' Ray- You told me to write it in the first person. Gus- How could any boy stop loving you? Swede- I don't know but lots of them do. Orpha Cin Novelty Storel- Whaddya have in the shape of autoftires? Clerk!- Funeral wreaths, life preservers, invalid cushions, and doughnuts. Ray's version of Cicercre Latin's a dead, dead language, It's as dead as it can be, It killed the ancient Romans, And now it's killing me. ' Dear Imogene: Hear i've been settin' trying to think of somethin' to rite, but all in vane. We are takeing english at skule agin. Ain't that a mess? Their ain't any cents to it. We were lerned about it way back in the furst and second grades, but we half to keep lernin it all the time. Furst verbs was fed to usg then up pops nouns and noun clauzes. Noun clauzes ain't no reelashun to Santy Clauzes what comes at Christmas time. The teechers mus think weer aful dum to half to keep on learnin this stuf. But then thats there job an I gess even they half to live, huh? Theirs one thing I kinda like in english tho, and its the storeys. Have you red Milas Sarneru yet? We have. Its all right. We liked Vangeline -a tail of a Caddy, and Stiles Mandish by some short guy. We also red Vip Wan Rinklen by George Washington. Did you ever half to rite a parygraf? My teecher makes me sik with those things. We half to rite one all the time. She makes us rite on sech things as garages, teechers, lettuce, pickles, Fords, shoes, an all that stuf an noncence. We cant rite on sech sub' jeks as luv, sweethearts, spring, nite, an all those nice things. But then, I gess, teechers arent romantik or else they wouldn't be teeching skule. An can ya imagin it-the teechers asked us kids to rite somethin up for the year book about english or some other subjek. jest as if we dont git enuf of that in our klasses. What dumbells! I aint goin to rite nothin up. You kin bet on that. Anser this letter reel sune. I like to write so will anser yurs reel sune when I gits it. I rite a pritty interestin letter, don't you think? What more english do I half to no. Sum of our teechers cant even rite a letter and I kin-and thats sumt in! I'm sinin off, now ..... Your lovin frend, Ima Ford, '53 I P595
