THE 1914 ALMANAC OH! XYHAT A WORLD. L. Aue could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on it, and make it worth S10 Q ???j. Thats genius. Our treasurer. H. Towe, could write a few words on a sheet of paper and make it worth S100 C ??j. That's capital. Bill Eliot could take material worth 10 cents in the machine shop and he might make it into an instrument worth 555. That's skill. Leo Kietzman could write a cheque for 5550.000 and it would not be worth 10 cents. That's tough. Esther Graves could purchase a hat for 75 cents-but. of course, prefers one worth 320. That's nonsense. The staff burns the midnight oil to turn out some pages for you to criti- cise. That's The Almanac. If you handed in a story or joke for The Almanac- That's School Spirit. That's what we want ! ! Florence Black- I don't think that one should always obey one's par- ents, do you? Cecil ? Cecil XV.-i'XVhy, I don't knowg what makes you ask Florence-f'Last night when one of the boys was here fplease take noticej, papa called down: 'Florence, put out the lightf and of course I did it. And when he came down stairs and found us in the dark he was just raving madf, APPLIED MATHEMATICS. I sometimes wonder what's the use Of squaring the Hypothenuseg Or why, unless it he to tease, Things must be called Isoceles. Qf course I know that mathematics Are mental stunts and acrobatics, To give the brain a drill gymnastic, And make grey matter more elastic. Is that why Euclid has employed Trapezium and Trapezoid I wonder F-yet it seems to me That all the Plain Geometry One needs is just this simple feat- XVhate'er your line, make both ends meet! 175

THE 1914 ALMANAC Her face so fair, upturned to his. Bespoke the truth. XYhile he, with subtle tare, Her thoughts did share. A shriek-a whiz- He had the tooth. She could swing a six-pound dumbbell. She could fence and she could box: She Could row upon the riyer, She could claniher 'mong the roclcsg She could golf from morn till evening, And play tennis all day long, But she couldn't help her mother, 'Cause she wasn't very strong. No word was spoken when they met, By either, sad or gay: And yet one hztdly smitten was, 'Twas mentioned the next day. They met hy chance this Autumn eye. XYith neither glance nor how: They often come together thus- A freight train and a cow.
