OCTOBER Mr. Quigley suggests that we sing Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? at the Dickinson game. The N. R. A. Parade - all the teachers march, led by Mr. Quigley who beams proudly as he is applauded by the onlookers. Mr. Connolly tells of his breath coming in short pants on being stopped by a policeman while out driving. For the third time, Miss Capron breaks up the first meeting of the Quill Board by having more than half of its members report to her at 12:30. We're thankful to have our class picture taken during school hours. That is, all but those who have study periods. Lincoln again loses to Dickenson, 13-0, but only after a brave fight. The city-wide Holy Name Parade furnishes us with a smile when we see Mr. Slane marching next to Skippy Enright. Miss Capron: Epstein, you're an old smartief' O Columbus, the gem of the ocean.

I ,, y ,fr WVHDN IDQ1 ally Review A KOIINYLAK SEPTEMBER Back to school for our last term, jubilant that graduation is near and regretful that it means the end of our high school days. Miss Capron conducs the semi-annual weeding out of her algebra classes. Woe to the summer school student. Vlfe listen to pep talks in the assembly by Mr. Slane and Mr. Fitzburgh, followed by nominations for oihcers of the L. A. A. The Normal Course girls go out on the lawn to depict in water colors the beauty of our flower beds, and spend the period dancing and frolicking. Everybody is puzzled by the sign, Have you met Bill Jones? . A Century of Progress-Miss Johnson pays he first visit to the Stanley . Mystery of Bill Jones solved. Merely philosophy which will probably be noticed by very few. Miss Hodsdon: XVhat is a metaphor? Zheutlin: To keep cows in. CCount ten before you laugh.j Mr. Barget: Everything beautiful has curvcsf' Angelo Scarpa falls to the floor of the auditorium by way of an upturned seat . . They laughed when I sat down . .

NOVEMBER Cooking lessons in Room 57. Mr. Wilson gives the exact recipe for custard and jello. We don't think the jello will be so delicious after Mnksymowicz's fwhew, some namely revelation that gelatine is made from horses' hoofs. Miss Johnson: Give an example of reciprocity. Wagner: You scratch my back, I'll scratch yoursf' Miss Johnson, much to our surprise, is disgruntled by this example. Kraut give the formula for barium oxide as B. O. fTo the rescue, Lifeb0uy.j M1'. Wilson asks if feet can breathe through shoes. A bright student inquires if gas masks should be made for feet for war-time use. Election day assures us repeal. But with repeal we get the had news that St. Peter's Prep defeats Lincoln again, 19-0. Jack Schimel, to Miss Koch's chagrin: We have the mob spirit in school instead of acting as individuals because we lack the proper faculties. Mr. Wilson surprises the class by extinguishing the flame of the bunsen burner after he had finished using it. An extra assembly this week to celebrate Armistice Day finds a welcome heart in all the school. A speaker in the auditorium arouses school-wide discussion by his state- ment, Education does not build character. A pupil in Chem. says the opal has an effervescent color. McGowan in astronomy defines designation as where you are going. M1'. Barget: Who was Ajax? Voice from rear: A dry cleaner. fWe do not charge for this ad.j A substitute teacher tells us that Queen Anne left no heir when she died. fAnnie doesn't leave heir any more.j Henry Sieracki eats a pretzel in Mr. Taylor's class, whereupon Mr. Taylor ejaculates, I hope you choke on it.
