. . . HUMOUR. . . Girls in Alma We have a Shepherd but no Sheep, A Root but no stem, A Lodge with a Hunter, And a Park with no men! We ' ve got a Mac Donald minus the farm, We ' ve got a Powell but not Jane. There ' s a Babe but no woods, And a Hill but no plain. There ' s a Ward but no hospital, Stones but no rocks. We ' re lacking wolves, But we ' ve sure got a Fox. There ' s a Wall with no windows, A Page with no book. A Tier with no car, and a Gill Without fish on her hook. These and many more All very much alive, Make up our school In the year ' 54- ' 55. In History Class: Mrs. Coulter: f, What was the War of the Roses?” Molly Carbert: It was the war where the generals threw bouquets at each other!” Exams may come — And exams may go-- But I fail on forever! ! ! Mrs. Douglas: Joni, what are the two genders ? Joni: Masculine and Feminine. The masculine are divided into temperate and imtemper te, and the feminine into frigid and torrid! Mrs. Doering: Anneke, there is a fly in my soup. Anneke: Don ' t worry, he won ' t drink much. The Biology class was discussing the feeding of hogs. Dr. Hunter: Janie, what is a good mineral form of food for pigs? Janie: Pig Iron! Mrs Sifton:- What are you going to sing Hiroko? Hiroko: A love song? Mrs. Sifton: Pardon! Hiroko: A lullaby? Mrs. Sifton: It really doesn ' t matter, one usually follows the other! Diane: You know what Lois? Bill ' s found his calling in life. Lois: Really! What is it? Diane: He ' s going to be an archeoligist. Lois Say, that ' s a pretty tough course for him isn ' t it? Diane: Sure is, I don ' t know why he chose it! Lois: Maybe it ' s because you ' ve got rocks in your head!!! Two members of the foreign legions were sitting out in the desert and the one said to the other down- heartedly. You know Sam, I can ' t even remember that girl ' s name that I came out here to forget! ! ! Dr. Hunter: How was coal discovered? Peg Sexton: My father told me they smelt it! Dr. Hunter: Man makes mistakes. Belyea to Whaley: So does woman! ! All this talk about the high cost of living is just propaganda put out by people who eat. Page 25
