ll ' ml, Cf Desks What are desks? Nothing but a slab of wood which holds the slim, white bodies of test papers, and, once in awhile a book or two and many sam- ples of art by artists whose works will never be appreciated. Let us look at the subject from the testology point of view. Many of the unique de- signs are unconsciously sculptured while the poor distracted student grapples with his conscience to de- termine whether he should try to re- member something he never knew ftake History or Latin classes for ex- amplej or take a peek at his neigh- bor's paper when the opportunity pre- sents itself. During this time his dis- traction may cause his mind to wan- der to other thingsg and not always things, quite often his thoughts may wander to the latest, which in turn would lead to the carving of the fair damsel's name on the slab of wood or otherwise named-the desk. Very often the class may be dull. Again the innocent desks suffer. Pencil points trail the medullary rays of the wood. The desks in geometry class rooms re- ceive circles and numerous construc- tions which might come in handy some day when the gray matter of the brain is not functioning to its fullest extent. Having not yet attained the elite rank of Seniorship and consequently not having had physics or chemistry, I cannot state to any degree of accuracy as to what unknown masterpieces ex- ist in that room, Therefore, in conclud- ing, I consider desks as two things: first, as a means of keeping out of mischief to a certain extent, second, an object on which some students spend their good time after school sandpapering the tops fthe under side never shows! and varnishing, espe- cially in the General Science room. -Leah Haskell.

He: This is where I get the Colgate. She: I Woodbury that joke if I were you. There was a girl in our school: Lillian, wondrous wise. She got into a funny mess, And nearly burnt her eyes. If most of us talked less, thought more, What we said would wc-igh more! Mr. Ridge: Well, Richard, if you want to make faces, I wish you would go some place else. Dick: I wasn't making faces. Mr. Ridge: Well, I hope it wasn't natural! ws
