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 ?

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
