The Commercial Record 27 Once there was a little girl, Who was always getting thinner. Just because she wouldn't eat. Her breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By Alice Daly. The English class of Nine A Six, Are as bright as bright can be. But the study they are brightest in, Is Shorthand, you can see. By Esther Sieff. Mr. Chambers:- Has anyone a watch with a second hand? Alfred:- What, a second Hand- watch. School Life John, do you know it 'is now past eight? Hurry down or you'll be late. Thus a pupil begins the day, A day of work or a day of play. John, why are you late? Miss Pond doth ask When John appears breathless from walking so fast, My mother didn't wake me 'till late, And for breakfast, I was compelled to wait. 9-B-I The following have been elected as officers of the Junior Civic Club for 9-B-1: President--Eva Blacka. Vice President-Dorothy Watson. Secretary--Junia Connoly. Treasurer-Frances Davis. Reporter-Frances Davis. The last day of school before the Christmas vacation was a happy day for 9-B-1. They had a party. and a good time. Three girls made four gal- lons of lemonade which was all gone before the party ended. We had lots of good things to t-at and lots of fun. After the party, some ot' us went to the gym to dance t'or a little while and then we all went home happy. 9- B-2 The linglsh pupils of 9-B-2 Are trying our bt-st our work to do. To-day is where we ull do shine. For we are trying to make a rhyme. To our English class, we all do take: Sometimes we laugh, till our sides do shake: But when we could to the Pageant go. English seemed a trifle slow. Here we learned a lt-sson grand. For the Junior Civic Club we stand. When from the Smith the chains did fall. I wish you had seen him, one and all. NVhen that silent Smith spoke at last, He made us really ashamed of our past, But bravely warning all that were nigh, He urged us to keep our courage high. Let us then. have Civic Pride. And all that's wrong, we down shall ride, Have nothing to do with Pride or Greed. And put our Creed unto our Deed. Girls, when you doll up. be careful not to smile, as it lights up your fact-, and might set off the powder. Miss McDowell:- Hedwig, give at sentence with the word theft , chant:- iug it to au abstract noun. I-ledwig:- The thief stole the money. Miss McDowell:-Does the thief ot'- cupy space? Hedwig:--Sotuetimcs in the ponitcu- tiury.

The Commercial Record 29 To the Pageant, four did go, It certainly was a very fine showg Our reporter brought home the news, Now, those that missed it, have the blu.es. May we keep up our standard, and to do good work, And never once, a duty shirkg To keep at the top, we will always try, We pledge our loyalty, to Business High. 9-B-5 Dorothy Kaltenbaugh certainly gave Us a great surprise one day when she wore her hair down. It is so long that she can sit on it. We always thought it was a Cratj Glled to make it look as if she had hair like one of the Dander- ine Sisters. One day. Harry walked into Miss Rhine's room. Miss Rhine asked what made the funny noise. Harry replied that it was his corduroy pants. Anna certainly has a wonderful vocabulary for pronouncing words. In English class, one day, she pronounced political, polotical. 9-ll-6 Miss Miller-How is it, John, you don't know your lesson? It wasn't so hard to learn. John-I know. but it was so easy to forget. Miss Dickey, fatter erasing a decimal point from a problemj:-Now, Ann, where is the decimal point? Ann:-Under the eraser. A train was coming and one man said, Here it comes. The other one said, Here he comes, and the last one said, Here she comes. Which was right? I say he because it was a mail train. Helen-Which is proper? Lemons are sweet or lemons is sweet. Hilda-Lemons are sweet. Helen--Wrongg because lemons are not sweet. 9-B-7 Mr. Snyder, tReady to read the Biblel :-It seems cold in this room, so we will go down to Egypt. A class in writing was whispering and giggling while Mr. Chambers was conversing with another teacher. Mr. Chambers, glancing around the room, observed: Not so loud. 9-B-T, the fire bell might ring, and you would not hear it. The sentence, Dutch cheeses are relished by the English epicures. Miss Malick:-Adele, what does the word epicures mean? Adele:-People that can't be cured. Miss Malick:-Can't be cured of what? Of eating cheese, called out Carl. Mr. Chambers, tto 9-B-T writing class who were practicing the letters l, and Il:-Don't make your l,i's too big. class. ....... The girls can bake pretty good I's3 now boys. see what you can do. Mary It's in vain. in vain. in vain. John:-What's in vain? Mary:-The letter Teacher:-XVhat does your father say at the supper table? Pupil:-I-Easy on the butter, boys, it's seventy cents a pound!
