THE ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION Miss Sydnor : “Winn, how do you pronounce pefepwepip.” Winn : “Not knowing, I cannot state with any degree of accuracy.” Unbreakable Lots of people crack jokes, but. did you ever hear of anybody breaking one? ‘Did you see Oliver Twist, Aunty?” i “Hush, child, you know I never at- tend modern dances.” Miss Jewett : “Where do bugs go in the winter?” Fred Murphy (absent mindedly) : ‘Search me.” In More Ways Than One Ike Canty, our fleet footed halfback, was thrown for a heavy loss when he broke a chair in Room 4. Teacher : “Miss Blake, you seem to have a tendency to let things slide.” P. Blake: “Yes, I play a trombone.” Fam o us Rem arks There is something in that,” quoth the fellow, when he upset the ink well. I ' d walk a mile for a camel,” moaned the man stranded on the des- iert. “That lets me out,” said the boy as e passed his dismissal slip to the teacher. “They satisfy,” said the pupil who had three “A’s” on his report. “That’s a help,” said the boy when he thought of an excuse. ‘There’s nothing to it,” said a girl who just had a marked paper passed back. “Like mother used to make,” said the boy, who had drawn a picture on his book. “Another crack like that and you’re through,” shouted the boy on the bank as he saw the ice crack under the skater. ‘A little bit goes a long way,” warned the teacher to a boy leaning out of the window.

He said he wanted plans for a home that would please his children — a home that his children would love and take pride in. When the plans were sub- mitted for approval the man, his wife and their three chil- dren were present. The par- ents said nothing. The chil- dren examined the plans, made some minor changes here and there, and put their approval on the finished drawing. Then the contrac- tor submitted his estimates, the father was surprised to discover that the cost was far under what he had thought it would be. The children had actually saved him money by specifying essentials instead of what he termed “frills and refinements.” One of those essentials was gas service throughout the house.

The North Gale Swept the hail Across the arctic zone. Out in the wilds The white snow piles Up in this land so lone. II. To the shed On my head T took a wooden stool. The poor cow shied When I tried To milk the frozen fool. III. With some straw To make it thaw I lit a roaring blaze, So ice cream Was not seen Because the lire had razed. IV. The North blow Piled the snow Far up above the shed. I pushed the door ' Til I got sore And then went up to bed. V. With no luck The door stuck And jailed me all next day. I was in doubt How to get out Until I found a way. VI. As I threw The milk to The wind that blew so wide It froze right there Up in mid-air And formed a perfect slide. VII. With a dive All alive I hit the milky way, And slid below
