Can you imagine a beautiful silk dress coming from a little worm. Who, your hus- band. Mr. Bowles to his class-Even Rinella can understand me between siestas. Iim-4What made you leave Mrs. Stater's boarding house after living there for five years? Bob-I found out they didn't have a bath- tub. A word to the wise is useless. When the doctor examined you, what did he say? He said I was in pretty good condition, but I shouldn't read any continued stories. Cop- Say, you've been driving 50 miles per hour. Wayne Edwards- That's silly. I haven't been out an hour. Mom-Willie, how dare you kick your lit- tle brother in the stomach? 'Willie-It's his own fault for turning around. Love is a ticklish sensation in your heart that you can't get at to scratch. I was going to tell you how to make love in a rumble seat, but there isn't room enough. BEHOLD THE SENIOR The Senior should be seen, heard and noticed on all occasions. He is wise, he knows the ropes. Consider him as a permanent fixture about the place and one who is privileged to point out the imperfections in the Faculty.

I'll take that one, said Helen, pointing to one in the center of the sheet. A man told me I looked like you. Where is he? I'cl like to knock his block off. I did it already. An English soldier telling of his war experiences tlt was about Christmasl: Yes, I was captured by the Germans and they searched me and stripped me of all my clothes. Ohl they gasped.
