THE MAGNET 1g definition of An old bachelor’s marriage: ‘An unaccountable desire on the part of a man to become ac- countable for the board bill of a young lady.” Hicks: (t was a clear case of con- science that brought me here today. Dicks: Then you ought to have a clear conscience now. BS “Johnny,” inquired the Sunday- school teacher, “and what did Simon say?” Quick as a flash came the answer: “ Simon says, ‘Thumbs up!’ ”—£very- body’ s. w Willie, aged four, broke his bread and milk bowl, and his mother found him crying bitterly. She tried to comfort him saying, ‘‘ Don’t feel so badly, dear, we can get another bowl that will be just as good as that.” “I’m not crying about that,’ said Willie, through his sobs. ‘I’m cry- ing ‘cause there isn’t any heaven for dishes.” w A near-sighted old lady at a dinner- party, one evening, had for her com- panion on the left, a very bald- headed old gentleman. While talk- ing to the gentleman at her right, she dropped her napkin uncon- sciously. The bald-headed gentle- man, in stooping to pick it up, touched her arm. The old lady turned around, shook her head, and very politely said: ‘‘ No melon, thank you.’ —Everybody’s. Ww At a crowded political meeting the orator of the day had been urg- ing his hearers to hold fast to the principles of their party and never to allow themselves to be drawn away from its high ideals. For,” he concluded, leaning from the plat- form and addressing the farthest corner of the room, you must real- ize that the eyes of the whole world are upon you, that as an American citizen you must uphold the banner of Honor, Righteousness and Truth. Do you know what you stand for?” and a timid voice from the back of the crowd answered, ‘ Because I have no place to sit down.” ee Agnes: How Mrs. Malaprop mur- ders the King’s English! Grace: Yes; isn’t it killing ?—Fudge

There were other aspirants for the position, but Mr. Little was chosen by the Athletic Association be- cause of the excellent experience which he had secured as a player under the best of coaches, and because of his natural aptitude for imparting foot- ball knowledge to others. Mr. Little graduated from Leominster High in 1911. He played on the football team five years. He first made the team when in the ninth grade and, upon becoming a freshman, had no difficulty in retaining a place which he had won the year before. During the first three years that he was a member of the squad, Mr. Little played as tackle. During the last two years he acted as captain and his position was shifted from tackle to full- back. Completing his course at the High School, Mr. Little enrolled at Wor- cester Academy last fall. Hebecame a candidate for the football team, and made a guard position over a long list of candidates who had been stars at other preparatory schools. Under Dr. H. P. Cahill’s coaching, Mr. Little developed rapidly as a guard and became one of the mainstays of the team. Report of E. R.
