Mr. Brush recently applied for the Josh Editorship, and a few of his characteristic remarks are given below, so that the school may judge for itself whether he is competent or not. Just listen: 1. Why is it a prisoner can’t sing? Because he’s behind a bar n’t get the key. (Ha, ha.) 2. The history class was having an ex., and Sugar Brush brilliantly remarked: “Give us something about a king and then we can have king’s-ex.” (Ho, ho.) 3. During a physic experiment some pins wouldn't float as they were supposed to, when he brought forth a safety pin, as that vould be safe. (He-e, he-e.) The school rejoices that at last the “young idea” is found. Among the Faculty. There was a young mathematician, Who some valentines sent on a mission; They were cleverly writ And made such a hit That we vow she’s a fine poetician. n x k + ‘a He was a young teacher named M——n, Whose knowledge was all in his cranium; While out in his “Knox” He got a hot box And towed it clear in from Copernium. ‘ ‘ , rn There was a strict teacher named W—-e, With her I’s she was certaintly tight; And if, Oh alas, You were in her class Your report card was surely a fright. And there’s our dear friend, Miss DuB——s, Whose use of our language is choice; The adoring young girls In short dresses and curls Pipe the tale of their love, sotto voice. Laugh, and the class laugh with you; 3 bn) @ You're left alone. Study!
