Our Primary Room Now here are the boys, With their laughter and noise, The boys of the Primary Room. The girls are here, too. And they’re not a few. The girls of the Primary Room. Full of life is each lad. Not a single one bad, The boys of the Primary Room. Each girlie is sweet, Not a one can be beat, The girls of the Primary Room. But we can’t always say, 4 s we are saying today, The children of the Primary Room, We will soon have to call, Each child one and all, The folks of the High School Room. An Oracle ilisn, Will be published by them, The folks of the Primary Room. Each one in the class Will, I’m sure, do his best, As he did in the Primary Room. So in nineteen-thirty-four, And in thirty-five, too, Fine Oracles you may expect that June, Because they will be Pub ished, you see, By the folks in our Primary Room.

LET’S LAUGH AWHILE Now, if you don’t like these jokes, And they make you sigh and groan, Just stroll around occasionally, And give us a few of your own. Jean L.—“Did you say Manley Walter had music in his soul?” Edward S.—“Yes.” Jean L.—“Why?” Edward S.—“His shoes squeak.” An English Admirer—“By jove, you’re ripping.” Irene F.—“Where?” Druggist—“What kind of a tooth brush do you want?” Customer—“Gib me a big one, boss; dare’s ten in me family.” Lucille C.—“What makes the trees so red in the fall?” Louise G. (intelligently answered)—“Because they blush to think how green they were in the summer.” Glenn G (after boxing)—“Am I a little pale?” Mr. Stewart—“No, you’re a big tub.” IT SURE WAS ONE Kenneth Riddle—“I wish to ask a question concerning a tragedy.” Miss Herriff—“Well?” Kenneth—“What is my mark in Literature?” IT’S NAUGHTY BUT IT’S NICE On one cold Friday night in February when the Juniors and Seniors were on a sleigh-ride party, a Senior by name of Leo Finzel took upon himself the responsibility of keeping a Senior girl warm. Then suddenly during a quiet spell, one of the other Seniors called out, “Hey, Leo! Did you know there were icicles hanging on your arm?” ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD Troubled Youth—“Suppose you were in my shoes what would you do?” Bright Boy—“I’d shine them.” Miss Herriff (in Lit.

(while clerking in store)—“No, but we have something just as good.
