T HE I) A R T 31 The Printing of the Annual I o print a kiss upon her lips He thought the time was ripe; But when he went to press she said. “I do not like your type.” A kiss he printed on her lips. And showed her no contrition, Because the artful minx inquired: When is the next edition?” He took her headlines in his arms And murmured, May I kiss you? “I’ll be your galley-slave,” she sighed. “I can’t evade the issue. You make me want to wed, He sighed; she held aloof. And said, Your want ads to my joy. But let me see the proof. He rhymed some copy to her then. (For better or for worse). An inkling of his lead she scooped. And said, I’m not averse. Dentist: Open wider, please; wider. Patient: A-a-ah. Dentist (inserting rubber gag, towel, sponge): “How’s your family? Candor He: You used to say there was something about me you liked.” She: Yes, but you’ve spent it all now. —Widow. Children, said the Sunday school teacher, this picture illustrates today’s lesson: Lot was warned to take his wife and daughters and flee out of Sodom. Here is Lot and his daughters, with his wife just behind them, and there is Sodom in the background. Now, has any girl or boy a question before we take up the study of the lesson?” Pleathe, thir. lisped the littlest, where’s the flea? Harry Williams, in Civics: “West Point is at Annapolis. How did you convince yourself that you couldn't afford to own an automobile? Pure luck on my part. She wanted to clean up a dress and she bought a gallon of gasoline.” Villa may have taken the grin out of gringo, but he left the go.— Independent. Bernard Carney (trying to explain the white smudges on his coat): I don’t know what it is; ask that girl over there; she’s got the same stuff on her face. Customer at Sanborn’s: I want a pound of coffee in the bean. Clifton S.: “You’ll have to go up stairs, madam; this is the ground floor.

T II E I) A R T 30 “Hit” after “Hit” All our batsman had to do was to step up to the plate and swing. Grand River was running after the hall all the time. Hogan pitched for A. H.

Summary: Austinburg 0 2 I 0 I 4 4 I 0—13 Ashtabula 4 0 13 0 2 5 2 7—24 FIELD DAY MEET Before a crowd rf 1200 people on Friday, May 19th, 1916. the A. H. S. track team surprised everyone by winning the meet by a 9 point margin. Wi h Sweet cn the side lines, things looked dark for Ashtabula hut Irom the first on, the old A. H. S. showed the proper fight and by picking an occasional first and here and there a second and third they were able to defeat the other teams of the county. This is the first year that the annual meet has been staged in Ash'.abula, and from the opinion of all it is the logical place to hold the meet. A neat sum of $300 was netted Friday and we feel sure that every one present was satisfied with the field, for at Bula there is not one event that can not be witnessed by all Paul Hogan and Harry Hall proved to be Ashtabula’s strong men, while C. C. Catlin of Jefferson copped the individual honors of the day with a neat record of 20 points. I he track is somewhat heavy as yet and owing to the fact that a high wind prevailed, records were not smashed in the runs but a county record of I 0 feet 4 4 inches was established by Barber of Conneaut in the pole vault. Conneaut came up strong in the meet and several times nearly overtook the safe lead of A. H. S. but after a pretty relay race in which Ashtabula showed they had some real sprinters the meet went to the black and gold with the sum of 37 points.
