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?

32 THE GARNET AND GRAY Miss Luck was explaining to one of her fourth year English classes how merciful King Stephen of England was. She said that he threw any- one whom he wished into prison, tortured him, and took all of his pos- sessions Earl Whitbeck from the back of the class shouted, It's a good thing they didn't have gold teeth then. Miss Brewer- Morrison, what can you tell me of America's foreign relations at the present time? Morrison- They're all broke. Mr. Davis said the other day that sedentary work tended to lessen the endurance. In other words, the more one sits the less one can stand. Miss Fisher- Who was Cyclops? Young Freshman- I think he was the man who wrote the cyclopediaf' A certain young fisher named Fisher Fished for fish from the edge of a fissure. But a fish, with a grin, Pulled the young fisher in, Now they're fishing the fissure for Fisher. A poor relation is always a distant relation. Has your mother read Frecklc-rs? No, ma'a.m, replied Blanche Newbury in answering Miss Houghton, they're brown. Not all book salesmen, says a contributor to the Atlantic Monthly, profess to be literary. A customer stepped into a London bookshop and asked for Omar Khayyam. The man shook his intelligent looking head. No, he said, 'Is Iliad we 'ave, and 'is Odyssey we 'ave, but we 'ave not 'is Khayyamf' Divorces are practically unknown in Sweden. Perfectly natural in the land of safety matches! Mildred Graves, relating an exciting play in a recent football game: And johnny grabbed the ball and hugged it to him- Katherine O'Brien- Ah, to be a football. Mildred- Then kicked it. Papa, what do you do all day long at the office? asked his inquisi- tive daughter, Mary. Oh nothing, replied her father, deeply absorbed in the evening newspaper. Well then, pursued Mary, how do you know when you are through?
