The Domestic Science girls were soft boil- ing eggs and had been in the practice of timing them with an alarm clock in the class room, but one day it was out of order and as they all had wrist watches, Miss Habernicht told them to time the eggs by them. When they were served, she noticed that some of them were decidedly hard-boiled. Upon in- quiring of the girls, Thelma Eby spoke up: I thought,I ought to keep them in more than three minutes, because the minutes aren't as big on my little wrist watch as they are on the alarm clock.

Do your duty by the Senior class by trying hard to laugh at them. ' Here's the first one. Naturally Mr. Ferguson in History class, Coratori- callyj And now we come to General Starke. He was a great man. His wife was a great woman, too. By what name is she known in history, Donald ? Pawnee Joe-- Mrs, Starke. Found in a Senior girls Physics Note Book-Question No. 17: What is the result when an irresistable force is applied to an immovable object? Answer unknown. A Great Demand. One Saturday morning as Mr. Parker was working very hard painting, he became very hungry and desired one of the doughnuts from the girl's pastry sale up town. As 'Doc.' Delp came along, he inquired of him whether he knew the price of the doughnuts. Three cents each, was the reply. Mr. Parker gave him six cents and told him to get him one and to get himself one with the other three cents. In a little bit, Doc came moseying back munching a dough- nut and as he handed back three coppers, he remarked, Sorry, Mr. Parker, but there was only one left. THE PYTHON '21 Je- Q. Another good one is told of Mr. Parker when he was painting a church. He was whistling a lively jazz tune and keeping time with his brush, when one of the trustees of the church came in. You shouldn't whistle in church, Par- ker, he said. I can work better while Whistling, he said. Then whistle some other tune. Mr. Parker promptly began whistling Nearer My God to Thee and also keeping ooooooooooooaooaooooovoooo time with his brush. The trustee, noticing the diminished speed, immediately said, Whistle the other tune, Parker. ........-.........................

She was much worried about him and so she sent a note to the minister to be read at church that ran thus: A man going to sea, his sweetheart desires the prayers of the congregation. The good man made a mistake and read it this way: A man going to see his sweetheart desires the prayers of the congregation. Little Polly Pritsch Fell in at ditch And cooled her pretty toes. Her mother came and caught her And whipped her little daughter For spoiling her nice new clothes. When Rev.
