The Arlington High School Clarion l 9 Teacher: “ Which New England state has two capitals ? Pupil: “ New Hampshire ” Teacher: “ Indeed ? Name them.” Pupil: “ Capital N and capital H.” Isn’t that a good joke ? It’s my own “Great Scott! Are you as old as that ? ” “ There’s room at the top,” the Senior said as he laid his hand on the sophomore’s head. How dear to our hearts is a steady sub- scriber, Who pays in advance at the birth of the year; Who lays down his money and does it most gladly, And casts round the office a halo of cheer. How welcome he is when he steps in the sanctum ; How he makes our hearts throb, how he makes our hearts dance! We outwardly thank him, and inwardly bless him. The steady subscriber who pays in advance. — Ex. Exchanges take warning: The Clar- ion has Gott to take the lead this year. A certain man was the proud pos- sessor of two beautiful angora cats which he called Tom and Jerry. A neighbor, happening in one day, was admiring the cats, and asked their names. “Tom ’n Jerry,” answered the owner proudly. “ Tom ’n Jerry !” sniffed the neigh- bor in scorn. “Why don’t you get up to date ’n call ’em Cook ’n’ Peary?” “Gwan ! Them ain’t no poll cats !” was the answer. Buttrick’s Hennery Eggs DIRECT FROM THE HENNERIES Every clay at D. BUTTRICK’S STORES 667 MASS. AVE., ARLINGTON 1367 MASS. AVE., ARLINGTON HGTS.

We will welcome all, — the new as well as the old — during the coming year. A Sophomore young man in one of Professor J — ’s philosophy classes had been arguing along agnostic lines. “ Then,” said the professor, “ you mean that you can know nothing ? ” ‘‘Nothing but what I can understand,” replied the student. That’s the same thing,” said the professor, making a note in his record- book. I wish, Henry,” said the editor’s wife, “ that you’d try not to be so absent minded when we are dining out.” Eh ? What have I done now ? ” Why, when the hostess asked you it you’d have some more pudding you replied that owing to the tremendous pressure on your space, you were com- pelled to decline.” A teacher asked one of his pupils if he could translate “ our sisters ” into F rench. No, sir,” stammered the boy. “ Very good, that is correct,” said the teacher, kindly.
