Kaplan this usual bold selfj : Yes, Miss Quail, you've no idea how poor his writing us. Caplan: Yes, dad, I'm a big gun at school. His dad: Well, why don't I hear better reports? Owens tpassionatelyl : There has been something trembling on my lips for weeks. Jean Munro: Yes, so I see. Why don't you shave it off? Hard-boiled Gazly faccompanied by his kid brotherl: I want a tooth out, an' I don't want gas, 'cause l'm in a hurry. Dentist: Brave lad! Which tooth is it? Gazey: Show the man your tooth, Len l Frank Day: I've had this car for years and never had a wreck. Ted Freer: You mean you've had this wreck for years and never had a car. V Mr. Foreman: Spell weather, lflrskine. Alf fhimselfl 2 W-e-i-t-li-i-o-u-r. Mr. Foreman: Well that's the worst spell of weather we've had this year. Pnge Fifty-Four Mr. Blathwayt: The first soccer- football game was started in Lon- don, in the 13th century. Voice from rear: Who's winning? Brodie: I spent two dollars on a canary yesterday. Holmes: Why, last night I spent ten dollars on a lark. Editor's Wail What do you get for all this work ? I was asked the other day. Oh, nothing at all but thanks, I said, Our glory is our pay. And straightway round the corner came Some student with a hum, And advancing toward my helpless self- Sayl Gee, these Jokes are bum l -Managra. Freshman: You seem rather dis- tant this evening. Freshette: Well, you chair isn't nailed to the floor is it? Mr. Brown: What is the differ- ence between character and reputa- tion '? Wingate: Character is what you are: reputation is what people think you are. A few years ago being knock- kneed was a misfortune-now it's a dance. Slow: Is it true that a bov's arm is the same length as the distance around a girl's waist? Slower: Let's get a string and find out.

THE OAKWOOD ORACLE Name and Address! Stew: Is she your best girl '? Stewed: No just necks best. Automobile designers are still making the same mistake-they're putting the stop lights on the out- side. Blessings on thee, Freshie dear, Bobbed-haired girl with knees too near. With thy rolled down silken hose, And thy very scanty clothes, With thy red lips reddened more With rouge and lipstick from the storeg With all my heart I give thee joy, Glad that I was born a boy. Parkdale: You'll have to admit, old man, we are better losers at our school. Oakwood: Sure, but look at the practice you've had! Fenlon: That fellow you just danced with is in my class. Jean: You flatter yourself. I Helen Dingle: Just think, a single Morman would have as many as ten wives. Isabel Archibald: Goodness! How many did the married ones have '? Helen Day: Oh, what a beautiful statue. That's alabaster, isn't it '? lbrena Dixon: No, you rummy, that's Aphrodite. Quarterback: l've got a little play up my sleeve. Half-back: That's nothing. I've got a big run up my stocking. Page Fifty-Six Boddy: Why is the water below a falls green '? Edmonds: Well, spring it. Boddy: Because its just come OV61'. I It's terrible how people in this hectic modern age refuse to pay homage to antiquity. Why they even refuse to laugh at some of the jokes in the collegiate rag. Then there's the girl who is dif- ferent and the girl who is indiffer- ent. In the former case she's the only girl, in the latter, shels the lonely girl. An excellent time to kill two birds with one stone is during a saxophone duet. Isabel: I had my eyes examined yesterday. Ev, '29: I always close mine when they kiss me. Pupil fleaving Mr. Jackson's room after the usual detention per- iodb : Well, good morning, Mr. Jack- son! Nothing is sure but death by taxis. ' Mr. Dunkley ftalking about con- Junctive dum J: Don't call that dumb, it sounds too much like an autobiography. i '5 A NOTICE BORED
