THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION 10 Make out a cross-word puzzle in Chinese. Recite two thousand lines — consecu- tive. Identify — Crustparmentliysrantisvist- finokkd. Where found and how? By whom? When? What for? Spats have been added to the equip- ment of the well dressed student. Haven’t they “Rags?” The Seniors, they are mighty, The Seniors, they are great ; But it takes the little Sophie To make this school first, rate! (More Sophomore propaganda!) We all agree that Joe Ennis acted very much at home in some of the “difficult” scenes of Pinafore. — That Dan Hooley was “sweet enough to be kissed.” Mrs. Moffat : “I used to get all mixed up in my dates. I We were recently informed that a girl had her dress ruined by sitting on i some gum. Ted Thomas suggests that the diffi- I culty might have been overcome by chewing the gum.
