18 APTUCXET MURDER WILL OUT I T is often said that “murder will out ’ This was proved to several people in a small village called Mellonville. Mellonville, chiefly interested in growing melons as the name suggests, had as residents a group of young people who were rather mischievous. One night they decided to raid one of the melon farms. They made their way to the farm in an old automobile which had a most annoying rattle. They stopped the car and listened, scarcely breathing. Everything was silent. No one had appar- ently heard them. They gathered the melons and climbed back into the car. The melons were sliced and they proved to be delicious. The next morning the farm owner came down to the village and called on all the young people who had eaten the forbidden melons. The last person upon whom he called was Gordon Connor. “Gordy,” as he was called by his chums, listened respectfully and asked at last, “But how did you know we took them?” Mr. Grimns’ eyes twinkled in spite of his serious countenance when he replied, “Oh, you shouldn ' t have left the rind at regular intervals from my farm to your homes!” Milia M. Puukka ’32 Continued from Page 17 Forty-third: We give and bequeath to Mr. W. Stahura our dumb waiter to put away his dishes for him in the lunch room. Forty-fourth: To Mr. K. J. Coady, our dear principal, we give and bequeath a periscope that he may see the pupils without look- ing through his fingers when reading. In witness whereof we unto set our hand and seal this 24th day of November in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty.
