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? Afternoon session at two sharp.

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!

TO THE JUNIORS We grave and world wise Seniors, Have much of which to complain, And that is that the Juniors, Are usurping our domain. For they, proud souls, are doing What Seniors long have done, They’re wrestling with the Clarion, We hope they’ll find it fun. They sa t y Ave lack school spirit, And they will show us how To print a paper of merit, By the honest sAveat of their brow. Arthur Landers, ' 24. TG THE SENIORS The “grave and Avorld-wise” Seniors Are grumbling at their fate. They think Ave “prond-souled” Juniors Have started a task too great. According to their grumbling, We ' re Avrong in Avhat avc do. But why if they ' re school-spirited, Did they not start things, too? They had much time to ponder, To plan, and then to work. Ila A r e AA ' e not more school spirit, To do the job they shirk? We’ll print a paper of merit And find it splendid fun: And Ave will never falter In the task that Ave’ve begun. C. A. Higgins, ’25.
