26- DEEDS AND MISDEEDS May is the month of blossoms and but¬ terflies, Exhibit, picnics and bright blue skies. Vacation time! Happiest of all the year. But we’ll cherish the memory of our school days dear. W]e’re the second grade, you see Happy and busy as can be, Learning our lessons day by day,, First we work, and then we play. Solving problems, learning to sing, Spelling and reading that’s the thing. Beacon method! Sound! Sound! Sound, Very best method ever found! Then to our counting one, two, three Bend the body, but not the knee; That’s what keeps us well and strong Physical exercises all along. Our weights and measurements we make. For bodies strong and minds alert Is what will make the hand expert. To train our fingers, much we do, With scissors, paper and some glue, Making for each season bright Drawings and cuttings a pretty sight. Though we’re young and still quite small Still we feel we’ve learned it all. Yet ’tis true, we may forget A trifle, but don’t you fret We’ll surprise you one and all As third graders in the fall. When of you our leave we take Still Central dear will not forsake; But return for learning more When we’ve finished our grade four. -•-. The Time of Their Lives Accepting the invitation of Joseph¬ ine Anderson and her mother, all the girls and boys who took part in the play “The Time of His Life,” together with their directors, ,were taken to the beautful grove on the Anderson farm, Monday, May 8th. Ideal surrounding, ideal weather, and ideal hosteses combined to make for the little party the real “time of their lives.” Soon after arriving, ,supper was spread. Mrs. Anderson had sent just one bushel of food including fresh sweet milk, cottage cheese, deviled eggs, potato salad, country butter and real home-made bread. Roasted wie¬ ners and toasted marshmallowswere also a part of the menu. The supper lasted from five to six o’clock and despite the very best efforts of every¬ one there was some food left. It is generally known that this pic¬ turesque spot abounds in all kinds of birds, but to Basil Covault is given the honor of having seen a stork flying just above the trees. All enjoyed themselves picking flowers and admiring the beautiful landscape. except Lloyd Beel who at¬ tempted to show his skill as an ath¬ lete. He climbed to the tiptop of the tallest trees, then he attempted to jump across the creek. He got across all right all but his heels. Af¬ ter he pulled himself out it was neces¬ sary to go to Mrs. Anderson and bor¬ row a pair of Mr. Anderson’s overalls. All you could see of Lloydie were over¬ alls and ears. At dusk they went to the Anderson home where Lloyd re¬ turned his borrowed property and donned his own which were none too dry and somewhat shrunken. Mrs Anderson again showed her kindness to guests by taking them to their homes in her car.

DEEDS AND MISDEEDS —27 LAUGHLAND “In arguing, too, he owned his skill For even though vanquished he argues still.” If you want to prove that two and two are five, ask Arthur Daniel Sut- tles to help. The above quotation is applicable to him for he has ideas and convictions all his own. Shakespeare:—• “The evil that men do lives after them The good is oft interred with their bones.” Don LeBrun: — “The evil that men do lives after them The good, is oft claimed by some other man.” Mary Burrell: “Why don ' t the prices of stocks and bonds drop sometimes?” Mr. Brown: “Why, they do drop” Then to Don LeBrun who is half asleep: “What did I say, Don?” Den : “Something about a dew drop” Mrs. Moore: “What Bible st ories should be read in the first grade?” Erman Johnson: “The Three Little Pigs is a good one.” From a Composition Paper He sat down under a tree and read a book about ghosts which he had brought along. This house is for sail. An automobile came up to the gate and honked its horn in which were two girls. Helen Beard: “My, Miss Coffee, it’s warm in here!” Miss C.: “Yes hot enough to cook Coffee.” Helen: “Or scorch a Beard.” Stanley: “Pa, why is it so hard to get through Central?” Mr.: “Why, because it is made of bricks.” Bobbed Hair All»the girls in our school Are bobbing their hair. They look like a fool But think they look fair. —Anon. Not what we did but what we didn’t at the County Spelling Match would make an interesting story. Said Miss Snyder to Miss Stevens, On a summer’s day, “Please make me some Brown Coffee, To drive my thirst away.” Then to Miss Mutschler and Miss Sellemeyer, She again did say, “Have some Moore of this good drink, It will drive all care away.” EDNA SWEARINGER.
