30 THE GARNET AND GRAY A person who called himself Roy p From a town nine miles out of Troy Stayed out late every night Which wasn't quite right For a man who was only a boy. R. J. H., '23 There once was a lady named May, Who wrote in a marvelous way, I-Ier verses were witty, But oh! what a pity, In Latin she got no bouquet. I knew a man with an old fliver, Which always did start with a shiver, For the clutch it was broke, And the engine did choke, So he pushed the old boat in the river. Mr. Glavin-If a boy is eight feet from a pool and covers half the distance each jump, he'll never get there, will he? George Gildersleeve-No, but he'll do some shimmying the last ten steps. Been to the football game, eh! Is your son on the team? Mr. Gloeckner- Judging by his looks, I should say the team was on mm. - How do you parse 'Mary milked the cow?' asked Mr. Nott. Cow is a noun, feminine gender, third person, singular number, and stands for Mary, replied Young. Stands for Mary! exclaimed Mr. Nott. How do you make that out? Because, answered Young, if the cow didn't stand for Mary, how could Mary milk her? A farmer once went to the city, and spent the night in a hotel. On returning home his neighbors questioned him as to how he liked the city. His answer was, Everything was nice except that the light was going all night. Why didn't you blow it out? they asked. Why, how could I? The beastly thing was in a bottle. Dorcas Hager-Our business lady. ' Robert Lincoln-Our school, pardon me, I mean business manager. Paul Davis- For tho' they almost blush to reign. Esther Bookheim-VVhy haven't I got blue eyes? - Peggy Frost- Kiss-me doll. ' Billy Mills-A veritable mint, eh, Peg?
