June, 1924 T H E B L A S T Page Thirty-one to Philadelphia, if you want to hear about a spree. Oh, well, we don't blame you in the least, Miss Searls, for Carl certainly IS a nice looking chap. It's a beastly shame, tho, that that picture of you and he didn't come out! You remember the one, Jimmie O'Donnel snapped en route. Carl was so anxious for a picture of you and he together, that he told Jimmie there was five dol- lars in it for him if it was good. It looks to us as though Jimmie had a streak of bad luck. At the beginning of the term, Miss Searls was mighty strict about note passing during her study periods. Have you fellow-sufferers, which being interpreted, means school mates, noticed how differently she acts about it now? Notes are humming most of the time, and, as a rule. the greater part of them reach their destinations without being intercepted. How do you explain that? Oh. well, it's springs-and in the spring a young lady's tin this case,l fancy, lightly turns to thoughts of love. And still they come,-so it's Miss McNamara this time, is it? She's small, but oh my! There's just a little hit of his Satanic Majesty peeping out of the depths of snapping black eyes-and Mr. Hurry immediately fell a victim. The full Moon is on the wane, and now it has diminished to such proportions that we find two's com- pany, and three's a crowd. Miss McNamara loves her chosen vocation to such an extent that she would rather lead the Glee Club, or Warsaw Symphony Orchestra, than eat. Now what do you think of that? Isn't it just too wishy-washy for anything? Did you ever notice how late in the afternoons of practice days the members of these two noted organi- zations are dismissed? Well, Miss McNamara is of the opinion that everyone feels the same way she does a- bout itg viz, that they would prefer to spend these nice spring afternoons in developing their musical talent, than to-ah, go for a ride, perhaps. Say, do you happen to know that Miss McNamara is acquainted with Vincent Lopez, the leader of the famous Lopez Jazz Orchestra? Yes, she is, and she thinks that he's all to the mustard, too. Her highest ambition is to be leader of an orchestra which will far excell both Lo- pez's and Whiteman's. She doesn't want much, does she? Well, well, well,-here is Miss Bishop, or, in more affectionate terms, Bess. if you prefer. Did anyone notice a certain add in the Evening Tel- egraph some-ah, four weeks ago, we think it was? Here was its content: Wanted-a man: one of the tall and dark type preferred, but almost any kind accepted. Apply at ,........... West Buffalo Street, Warsaw, N. Y. The add at once attracted our attention, inasmuch as we recognized the address mentioned. Since then, we have awaited developments with great interest, and it seems that the add is at last to bear fruit. Advertising pays, all right. We have noticed a 1924 model, Buick coupe, is now at the beck and call of Miss Bishop, together with a chauf- feur who seems eager and willing to do his stuff, whenever Bess signifies her desire to go anywhere. Why, once right during school hours, when we were engaged in doing our beloved two minute drills, the Buick rolled up, Miss Bishop leisurely strolled out of school, got into the car, and was driven off with a great deal of pomp and ceremony. Can our Bess teach? 'We'll say she can! She some- times is compelled to use strenuous methods to impress her knowledge on the ivory domes of her pupils, but eventually, lt is absorbed,-so why worry? We'll admit that sarcasm is a mighty sharp instrument of torture,,but at that, it works. How about it, Bess? Here endeth this chronicle of ye teachers.

Page Thirty T H E B L A S T June, 1924 old Shylock, the miser, look like a Ford parked beside a Rolls-Royce. Question-why the economy, anyway? Ancient men and philosophers have all devoted their best efforts to solving this problem, but as yet, have arrived at no so- lution. The chances are that they will not arrive at any solution, either. Their last hope is the Oracle of Del- phi, and if that fails, then the problem will go down through the ages as one of the unsolved questions of mankind. Miss Hanchette alone knows the answer-and her lips are like unto those of a graven image. Another thing-she keeps us in a constant state of suspense about her engagement. Sometimes she is wear- ing a diamond, and then again, it is conspicuous by its absence. At various times we wonder if she really is en- gaged. Probably she is, and merely grabs off the ring every time she has a tiff with her man. She's temperamental like that. To Miss Ruth Luckey, our beloved History teacher- words cannot do her justice! She hails from the village of Houghton, N. Y. It's so dead there that the inhabit- ants think that all the opera stars of New York city live in the Singer Building. ' Oh, we forgot-there's a college at Houghton, the one redeeming feature, Say, folks, did you hear the Hough- ton Harmonizers at the church the other night? Were- n't they the berries, though? Miss Luckey was as proud as a peacock because they came from the college of which her pater is president. We have it from good authority that she flirted with one of the good-looking young chaps, but of course, we can't vouch for that re- port. We do not think that her school-marm dignity would hinder from doing it, however, if she felt so in- clined. We would suggest that Miss Luckey take a course in English at some good school before she returns to her duties in the fall . During the two years that she has imparted knowledge to us dumb mortals, she has always emphasized the necessity of using correct Englishg in fact, she said that the incorrect use of the mother tongue grated on her nerves. Oh, man! Did you ever hear her say, No, it d0n't,' 'etc.? Don't you love that, fellow students? Don't all speak at once! Oh, Miss Luckey, practice what you preach! Miss Cassidy, we mean Veda, is the goddess who gives wings to words. Hers is the ability to pound the keys- no. don't fool yourselves she is not an accomplished pianist. So, by the process of elimination, we'll admit that she's a typist. Wonderful deductiong worthy of the great Plato! She had one wild time in Washington, all right. She simply cut loose and threw all discretion to the winds. On the way down, the dining car held a great fascination for Veda, for some reason or other. We don't know, but We think it was' the good-looking chef who reigned supreme in the dominions of the dining car and kitchen. In Washington and Philadelphia she was out so late every night, or rather, so early,-that she generally ov- erslept the next morning, and was compelled to rush to catch up with the party. KA slight hyperhole, perhaps, but nevertheless, not far distant from the facts.J Of course she couldn't get breakfast, under the circumstan- ces, and so it would not be strange if she lost a few pounds as a result of that folly. If this occurred, she achieved her life-long ambition. Of late years she has been picturing herself as a sylph indulging in aesthetic dancing. Veda is wild, not only away from home, but actually in Warsaw! After one especially interesting date, she seemed to be feeling rather Moody. Heavens!! Did he have such an effect on you as all that, Veda? Miss Iva Chase, she who presides over the Domes- tic Science department of our ancient and honorable school-we drink to her health. Wonder how she hap- pened to take up that course, anyway? Sh-h, we'll whis- per it to you. It's a dead secret, so please don't let the cat out of the bag! You see, Miss Chase doesn't think that she will always teach, and her motto is prepared- ness, hence the Domestic Science course. She thinks that she can mask her real intentions by perfecting herself in these arts, under the disguise of teaching, but it's all as clear as daylight to us wise young students. Oh, you can't put anything over on us, Miss Chase, we weren't born yesterday! Remember the punch that the Juniors treated us to at their Prom, folks? We have it on good authority that Miss Chase concocted that mixture. Wonder if she thought we are all Chinese? We don't know how to ex- plain it otherwise, the fact that that punch tasted as though it were made nine-tenths of tea, yes, TEA, peo- ple! Is it any wonder, then, that everyone woke up with a ripping head-ache, the morning after the night be- fore? ' They tell us that Miss Chase is a good Presbyterian. Wonder if she thinks that that will help to secure her entrance to the Pearly Gates? She sure will need help, when St. Peter hears about the effect of that punch! Ooh,-Miss Searls, what's this that we hear about you and your wild dates? You must be SOME vamp if you can make Lewis B. succumb to your charms! Think of it, folks, Lewis the Invincible, Lewis the Woman-Hater, was so entranced that he was caught in the net of the beautiful Miss Searls, and as a result, actually asked her to go to a show one night. F' Heaven sake, be careful, Pose ! What would Carl say if he heard about it,-or Windsor? We're willing to wager as much as a half a cent that you've broken a good many hearts already. Will you take us up on it? Ah ha! You decline to bet that much, because you know you'll lose!! Ask Miss Searls about her trip to 'Washington,-no,
