AURORA BOREALIS 37 DO YOU KNOW THAT— If all the blackboards in the school were placed end on end in a long line, they would still be blackboards. Great actors could be unearthed if some of the pupils were closely observed in the class rooms. Ice cream has no bones. The pedigree of every hot dog served in the dining room can be obtained upon request. A lot of great men are dying these days. We don’t feel any too well ourselves. Africa is as far away as ever. People who put grease on channel swimmers, are not called greasers. A southern planter isn’t a darkey undertaker. You can’t bounce a snowball. “Bob.” Ross—(dreamily to himself) : There are metres iambic, And metres trochaic, And metres of musical tone, But the metre that’s sweeter And neater, completer, Is to meet ’er by twilight alone. Miss Burkholder (in Agriculture) : “What is mistle¬ toe?” Lorna Conger: “An excuse.” A.C.N. Student (in Woolworth’s) : Gimme a bag of popcorn. Clerk: Five or ten? A.C.N.: I said one! Miss Coone: “Can you give me an example of a me¬ chanical mixture?” Esther Frederking: “A salad.” Hass—“I had an interview with a professional mind reader once.” Ted Knight—“Did she enjoy her vacation?” Miss Jamieson to Selmer Romo—“Will you have some more salad, Mr. Romeo?” Miss Woods—“Mr. McLean, what is the meaning of status quo?” Blair—“That is the Latin for the ‘mess we’re in.’ ” A letter from College—“No mon, no fun, your son.” Papa replied at once—“How sad, too bad, your dad.”

36 AURORA BOREALIS Now Roberts is our champion, At copying on the mill. And when it comes to eating, Boys he’s champion still. And yes! Here’s Sobey our musician, His cornet playing, boy, is great. He has to mute it in his room, Or everybody would assign his fate. Now whose the record sender? It surely must be Knight. No award by tender, Nearly all, by fight. And yet there is Roy Davis, Who studious as well, He takes up shorthand, To fill the vacant spell. And now it comes for teacher, Mr. Hyndman called by name. He’s like a father to every boy, And so has won much fame. At sending he is perfect, At teaching he is fine. You can always tell its Hyndman, When you hear him on the line.

38 AURORA BOREALIS ODE TO CANDIDATES How they peer and how they ponder, How they puzzle and they wonder, How they fret; How they scratch and scribble madly, And in fear of doing badly Do worse yet. With a desperate persistence, How they fight the dull resistance Of their brains; For these fail them at this juncture As a tire that’s had a puncture Limp remains. Gracious! Goodness! Gosh! And golly! How they curse their years’ long folly, Idle waste; Hours! Nay weeks and months they’ve squandered, As their thoughts and footsteps wandered Now in haste. They endeaour to recapture, Time they spent in idle rapture But in vain; Father Time will not be cheated, And their course must be completed, Once again. Raymond Elgaaen says that a pound in the hand is bet¬ ter than two on the head. Why do people persist in going over to the Library on Wednesday afternoons? Derpack: Did you have any luck hunting tigers in India? Jim Hilbery: Marvelous luck. Didn’t come across a single tiger. f“ - .. - .... - fin - »» - ini - mi. - ini - in, - in,-mi - ini - mi -- in, -- » ----- „„ - „„ ----- „„ -„.J, j . | Everything for the Hotel and Cafe Hotel Equipment Supply Co.
