THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Please pass in all jokes on tissue paper, so that the editor will he able to see through them. It the pupils in Latin III., Period II., didn’t make any resolutions, at least they all “made one concession’’ the day after vacation. Good Advice! Mr. Fowler: What’s (he matter, Buckley?” Buckley: There ' s a lack in my seat. What’ll I do?” Mr. Fowler: “Sit on it.” Geography Teacher: In what region does hay grow?” Ambitious Soph : In the ground.’’ Some Stunt Hardy, translating in French III: “Baron Von Fincken put on the table his wine glass which he had just swal- lowed.” Did you know that Miss Treat has discovered the acoustic properties of chalk? Miss Riley: What were Whittier’s poems mostly written on?” Winn (absently) : “Pap , I guess.” 0, Roger , why didn ' t go u tell us before ? Miss Sliedd : “Lundberg, give me a sentence containing an idiom with avoir.” Lundberg: “J’ai femme.” Just imagine! Muriel Moody attending a wild party. John Gruber spanking “Pinty Moore. Arthur Landers getting FF on his re- port card. Brainy Hughes at a funeral. Miss Bullock letting any one enter the left hand door of Room 14. A dance given in the gym. Curt Forbes with rubber heels. Our football team playing croquet. Mv. Henricus not telling a funny story in his speech. A chorus which isn’t the best one Miss Pierce has ever had.

Clarion, Arlington, Mass. Dear Sir : In a recent number of the Arlington Advocate, I noted a revival of the Clarion was contemplated. Allow me to add my congratulations! I should be very glad to support the project by subscribing. Kindly advise me how much a year’s subscription and postage will be and I will send check. I have been particularly interested in following the sports record of the High School and the Girls’ Hockey team is especially worthy of praise for its splendid work in capturing the championship. Good luck to you, Sincerely, Inez W. Zecher, Class of 1918.

THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Poetic Soph : “Why are all the ti’ees shaking with laughter?” Superior Senior: “Worms are tick- ling their roots.” I see that the Juniors have started the Clarion. That will at least add to the list of jokes! He knows where they belong! No doubt we should all like to see the hockey team go to the Arena this win- ter, hut we understand that Manager Settele has made arrangements to take them to Danvers. Out of a Clear Sky Miss Treat to B. Wunderlich: “Bar- bara, you are charged with the Life of Johnson.” To be sung after any Exam. Now the day is over Night is drawing nigh, Each one sits and wonders “Gee, did I get by.” Extract from Oldman ' s work: “The professor rose to his feet on the floor.” Query — Where does he keep them usually? A visitor once asked a Senior whether Ir. Hatch or Mr. Stickney reached the building first. He replied in this man- ner: “Well you see, Mr. Hatch at first was always last, but later he began to get earlier till at last he was first, though before he was behind. He soon got later again and got behind as be- earlier sooner or later.” Senior: “We have a new dish washer down in the lunch room.” Soph: “How do you know?” Senior: “I noticed the difference in the fingerprints on my plate.” Listen, my children, and you shall hear That the beloved mid years are drawing near. First we must study, then Desperately cram, And march bravely forward to take the exam. But wliy, my dear children, are you looking so blue? Your dearly loved teachers will not surely flunk you. So just keep up your spirits and let’s all begin To review for our mid years with a confident grin. Jean King, ’24. Famous Sayings Miss Watts: “Where were you the third period yesterday?” Miss Harlow: “Take a back seat.” Miss Shedd : “F’rinstance.” Mr. Hatch : “Hey, you, go in the back door.” Miss Treat: “There will be no ad- vance homework, except so on and so forth, etc., etc. Miss Bullock: “OTIIEB Door.” Mrs. Graf: “Now, we’ll wait until MacFarlane has finished talking before we go on — Now have you finished Mac- Farlane?” MacFarlane : “No, I haven’t begun yet.” Miss Butterfield : “You won’t get any- where in Latin unless you study.” Voice : “Except out.” “This match won’t light.” “S ' matter with it?” “Dnnno, it lighted all right a few minutes ago.” When shall we meet again?
