THE BACONIAN SMILES Mr. Howell—Make a sentence with the word ethics. Student—Every morning I ride to school in an ethics (Essex). Miss Cole after school (calling roll)— “Zenowitz.” Zenowitz—“I’m here in body only. My heart is outside.” Miss Cole—What is a pedagogue? G. Wasniewski—It’s a freak. Anna- -Poets are born, not made. George—It’s a mean thing to blame it on their parents. Miss Tiffany—My! but your hands are clean, Elsie. Elsie—Yes, but you should have seen them before I helped Lillie make bis- cuits. Miss O’Brien—What were the Euro- pean countries most interested in after the war? George—Making peace and burying, its dead soldiers. The baseball team says that there is no base like home. Miss O’Brien—What does this mearnr “King Alfonso was abdicated”? Levine—“He ain’t gonna reign no mo.” Singer—I am a born musician. A. Falk—How do you get that? Singer—My eyes are sharp and m r feet are flat. It’s all right for a girl to know her onions but not to eat them. It’s the little things that bother us; you can sit on a mountain—but not a tack. Anna—A penny for your thoughts. Gert—What do you think—I’m a slot machine? Schwartz—If “I am Happy when you’re Happy” is a fox-trot, and “When it's Springtime in the Rockies” is a waltz, what’s bred in Kentucky? Zenowitz—Ten cents a loaf. J. Ramras—Today, Miss O’Brien: asked a question and I was the only one who could answer it. Bochain—Oh yeah ? What was the question ? J.

THE BACONIAN Girls’ Basketball Team This year girls’ basketball took a far more active part in athletics at Bacon Academy than ever before. The teams with which we played home—eight home games— were: Nathan Hale High School of Moodus, Norwich Y. W. C. A., Williams Memorial Institute of New London, and Glastonbury High School. Although every game did not mean a victory, each and every merrfber of the team “played to the end” always. Leading her team-mates onward was Fanny Wasnieski, who proved her ability as center as well as captain. Her loyal supporters were Doris Riley, Anna Ewafove, Mary O’Ccnnor, Florence Minsk, Mamie Gyome, Bertha Fedus. Gertrude Seger, our capable manager, deserves much credit for her work and cooperation. Miss Donovan and Miss O’Brien were our coaches this year and inspired us with their enthusiasm and eagerness. BACON ACADEMY Twenty-five

T H E BACONIAN Miss Cole—I pity the fish. Gregory—Why? Miss Cole—Just think of being caught on a hook, and pulled out of the water. Gregory—Served them right. If they had kept their mouths shut they never would have gotten into trouble. Cop—Say, where’s your license? Miss Donovan—This is a free wheel- ing car—I don’t need one. Johnnie—Are you afraid of dogs? George—Yes. Every time I eat one I get indigestion. The teachers think that if brains was a disease most of us would be in perfect health. Mike—Do you brush your teeth every morning ? Ike—Yes. Just before I go to bed. He—Does the banjo player play by ear? She—No, he uses a pick. If only Burbank could have lived to see how many gallons of orangeade one orange can make. Mr. Howell:—What would you do in case of fire? Swider—I would go for my civics book and see what the rules say. Eddie—My girl eats like a bird. George—Yes ? Eddie—Yes, a peck at a time. Miss Donovan—What did Caesar say when Brutus stabbed him ? Miss Stern—Ouch! 1st College Student-Have you a new roommate ? 2nd College Student—No, I bought this tie myself. Sign in restaurant window: Come in and eat or we will both starve. Krop (In Biology Class)—Mr. Howell, what has eighteen legs and catches flies? Mr. Howell (after a moment)—I don’t know, what is it? Krop—A baseball team. Man—Do you brush your teeth religi- ously ?
