SISSON Faculty Adviser SARA C. CALLAN Reporter of Sophomore Class EDWARD BLACKMAN Reporter of Freshman Class ELIZABETH O’CONNOR TO OUR ADVERTISERS The staff of the Green White wishes to thank the advertisers for their financial support, upon which the success of this depends. We realize that under the present conditions they have indeed made a large sacrifice by advertising in the columns of the Green White. The Green White hopes that the people of the town of Bristol will realize this fact and make it their policy to help these retailers. The best policy to pursue is “BUY AT HOME.” The advertisers make this book possible, and the people make their business possible. ------o----- The pupils of the C. M. H. S. extend to Mr. R. R. Strong who has been principal of the school for the past five years their sincere wishes for a very successful and happy career in his new position in Bristol, Conn.

4 THE GREEN AND WHITE LITERARY A FABLE Two fishes, Mackerel, and his cousin, Tautog, were swimming around idly in the shallow waters near the shore, when Mackerel espied a big worm on the sand near the edge of the water. “I'm hungry,” said Mackerel to his cousin, “I'd like to have that worm.” “I know of a plan to get it,” replied his cousin. “Listen! When the tide comes in a little, I’ll swim up and get the worm. I can glide over that slippery rock to get the worm.” “But supposing you can’t get back to the water! You'd better not do it. I know of some mussel beds down the bay.” “I want that worm. I’m tired of mussels and besides, I can get back easily enough. So Mackerel swam off and left his cousin Tautog swimming around waiting for the tide to rise. A little while later Mackerel came back to see what luck his cousin had had. To his surprise he saw Tautog floundering helplessly on the dry sand—but Mackerel could not help him—and the worm was nowhere in sight. Tautog had not even reached as far as the worm-hole. “Poor toutog,” thought his cousin, “he is a wise fish who swims in his own bay.” DILYS M. WALL, Class 1925. -----o------ THE EDUCATIONAL FAMILY “Oh, dear!” groaned the old Arithmetic lying in a desk. “I believe I’m growing older every day.” Are you just finding that out?” queried a voice near her. I didn’t know that I was talking to you,” replied the saucy book. “Some people should be seen and not heard.” “I didn’t see you until I heard you first,” sniffed the Eraser with a toss of her head. “Here, here!” called the Grammar, “What’s all this trouble about,” and she called her granddaughter Eraser to her. “I think it was true when Lead Pencil called you a rubber neck.” Everyone stopped talking, school had begun. The Arithmetic was on duty, and had with her her nephew, Lead Pencil. The children were dismissed and the Educational Family gathered in the hall with their Ruler, who was to speak to them. He was terribly disagreeable and everyone said he had a heart of wood. He stamped across the platform and announced that they were going to have a strike against rough handling by the pupils. Everyone agreed with the Ruler. There was so much excitement during the meeting that Lead Pencil tripped and fell over Razor Blade who had a habit of biting and received a bad cut. Then poor old Arithmetic, who was hobbling over to see what had happened to her nephew, fell against the Eraser. She was helped up, and the Ruler, who could not hold his temper, began to scold. “Mrs. Arithmetic,” he said, “You have set a bad example today, and must turn over a new leaf.” Next the king called Razor Blade and said, “You have given Lead Pencil a close shave and will have to be punished.” The Razor Blade stood looking very dull, and cast a sharp glance at the Ruler. The meeting adjourned, and though they could not agree, they found “peace” in the Dictionary. KATHERINE BULLOCK, ’24
