Motor and the girl motors with you, Walk and you walk alone. —Tom Harley. Lee Laptad—(passionately)—I’ll be your va’entine. Peggy Johns—(sadly)—I was in hopes that I wouldn’t get any comics this year.

Ward Fowler—What would you do if you were in my shoes? Lloyd Durr—Polish them. The old man—Are you sure he’s a col- lage man? Charming daughter—Why, yes, Father; he has a Yale Key.

Only those who are good-looking should read this. Gee, but you’re conceited! Teacher (in history class): “Who was Columbus?” Sleepy Senior: “The gem of the ocean.” Mr. Riggs (in physics class)—If you have acute ear s you can hear the vibrations of the tuning fork. Ida Hodson (to her neighbor)—How does he know whether we have acute ears when we have “earbobs?” A Freshman was wrecked on the African coast Where a Cannibal King held sway, And they served up that Freshman on slices of toast, On the eve of the very next day. But the vengeance of Heaven followed swift on the act, For 'ere the next moon was seen, By cholera morbus the tribe was attacked, For the Freshman was terribly green. Exchange.
