PERSONALS There were two sides to the question of “Getting a friendly mate to help you translate your Latin.” Miss Hanna apparently chose the negative but we all wish she’d practice what she preaches. Teacher: “What is the difference in meaning between baiser and baisser ?” Goelner: “The first means to kiss.” Teacher: “You seem to be very familar with the term.” Goelner: “I am.” While paraphrasing this section of Deserted Village, “Shall kiss the cup to pass it to the rest,” Bill Mair very disappointedly said, “Gee, I wish I were the cup.” “You can run fast, Eleanor, but you’ll have to go a bit faster to beat Brown, because we saw that he caught up to you the other morn- ing.” With all M iss Musson’s scolding forgetful Muriel Cook never brings both shoe horn and sneakers. She’d forget her head if it weren’t fastened on! Miss Decker: “Give me a concrete example of an inclined plane.” Pupil: A cement driveway leading up to a garage door. “Kessler seems to specialize in Mildreds.” Spindel, the bright light of Room 19, intends to beat all records and graduate in three years. Found!—Pete’s ring,—on Irma’s finger. Although removed from the Polo grounds by 18 miles, the 3-2 fel- lows get first-hand information about the games played there through Hobelman, who rises before breakfast each morning to read the base- ball news. Found last night between third and fourth streets an innocent look- ing man about 35 years old. When first seen he was asking everyone he met where the Senior 4-2 Class was and cried ever and anon for his “Guide book.” sixteen

During a recitation in Mr. Nicoll’s room in second period short- hand class, the instructor asked for a rule governing the blend T. D. B. One of the girls innocently called out, “Oh, yes, B. V. D.” Oh where, Oh where did you get that purple bow tie, Gardener1? We wonder why Miss Russel accidently steps in front of Mr. Nicolls. Oh, yes, girls! It’s leap year! What would happen if: Mr. Healy ever did his home work. Miss Sjoberg stopped calling Miss Russell, “darling.” Mr. Nicolls stopped blushing, Miss McIntosh forgot to crimp her hair. Boletta Moore lost her giggle. Miss Ruhe and Miss Berry had a quarrel. Mr. Veldran didn’t help Miss Clough in biolog}’. Mr. Nicoll forgot to say, “Please leave that conversation until a later date.” Miss Miesch arrived at school on time. Mr. N utt forgot to buy his chocolate during lunch period. Miss Sharp were crank}'. Miss Weiss didn’t get her cash proof. M iss King didn’t worry about geometry. M iss Smith forgot to talk to Gardener during fourth period. Everybody were just as everybody else wanted him to be, did everything everybody else wanted him to do, and was still happy himself. Heard in Miss Decker’s room: “Mr. Jackson, how long is your food pipe ? “Twenty-three feet,” was the brilliant reply. Poor Russell, we always knew there was something wrong! Mr. Fox is very attentive to Miss Sjoberg in bookkeeping class. If Stephen Healy were here, good-night, Joe! We wonder what is in that “Jot Book” (as it’s called) that Miss Ruhe carries around with her. Ain’t it a grand and glorious feelin’ when: You don’t do your bookkeeping and Miss Lane calls on you? When you have a cold and are called on in French. When Miss Smith calls on you in “Oral English” and you haven’t even chosen your topic. When you’re late and Mr. Nutt is in the hall. When the Board of Education comes in the room in which you are reciting biology. seventeen
