Place: Hotel Dewey, Washington, D. C. Oh-o-o-o-o, I’m a great deal worse off then Emil, if you girls would only believe it. Tough luck, Helen ! ! ! A certain group of 2-1 girls are thinking of chipping together to buy a bottle of 3 in 1 oil for a certain fellow in Spanish class. They have heard that this is a fine remedy for scratchy throats. Miss Jackson will have to get armed guards to guard the door from returning physical torture students. They will insist upon en- tering before the period is over. We might hint though, that the 2-1 inmates don’t object at all to this intrusion. Miss Hill is very busy in the social line. Many invitations are issued daily to come to tea parties in her room after school. P. S. You are kindly requested to bring your own refreshments. The Sophomore 2-1 class is trying hard to think up ways and means to increase their class funds. They will probably continue to think but that’s all. Miss Jackson’s star Latin 2-1 class will capture all honors in the final exams. Mr. Sella, star entertainer, helps very much to increase the knowledge of the class. Miss O’Neil and another senior were going down the hall. “Mj don’t those Freshmen go slow.” We were Sophomores not Freshmen and we demand an apology, Miss O’Neil. Mr. Stackpole, “Giesen, do any proposition in either Book I or Book II. Giesen (throwing himself about his seat and pushing his book aside) “Aw, I can’t.” One day last week Miss Haitinger took a nap and in English she seemed quite confused as one of her exclamations proves. She said, “I don’t like Silas Marner but it’s a good book.” tzi’cnly-onc

Karp was trying to defend himself in an argument. No one as it seems was in his favor. Mrs. Grammar then said, “Will nobody sup- port Mr. Karp?” After a pause someone whispered to Karp, “Hey, Karp, get married, your wife will support you.” Jeanne Powell says this is our last chance to wreck vengeance on the Faculty. Did you have that in mind when you waltzed with Mr. Derr, the night of the Senior play, Jeanne? W e wonder where Shultz saw those horned pigs he spoke of in French class. Oh! that’s right, he said he’d been to the zoo lately. Scene—Room 432, Dewey Hotel, Washington, D. C. Time 11:00 P. M. Characters-----Class of 1920—Ditto. Conversation as follows: “Hello, central, give me Room 9 please.” “Hello, is it you,” (Giggles) “For goodness sake. Oh! no! ! (more giggles) etc. “Who was it? Insoluble riddle No. 109. Ask Evelyn Shields and Viola Corrigan what became of the bottle of sarsaparilla conveyed in some mysterious manner to Room 432, Dewey Hotel, Washington, D. C. Ethel Cummins and Jeanne Powell might also supply some in- formation on this subject. Miss Corrigon (standing in Latin 4-2 class) : “And the Chimera (Shimera) armed with flames!” Mr. Alyea: “Oh, the Shimera! Why then that’s who invented the Shimmy! And they told me it was up to date.” Miss Hill: Pasch, what was the result of Grant’s march on the Confederate Capital. Thoughtful Student: “He excavated Richmond.” Mr. Deer: “Did you see anything of scientific interest on your trip, Hubert?” Hubert: “Oh yes; we saw Benjamin Franklin’s suction pump and it’s just like the one we have here in Physics Lab.” On deck S. S. Chas. McAlester oice from behind: Do you-all want to see the first air-ship that ever was in this yere country? Ruth : “Oh, yes, where ? Good natured Southerner: “Just you-all look ova yaunder—in- dicating a graceful turkey-bussard lazily floating over the shining Patomic. twenty

SCHOOL MEWS HE cake sales held spasmodically by the Junior 3-1 Class, during the past term, turned out successfully. As an average a profit of $2.50 was made on each sale. The class sincerely hopes that the sales will continue to be as profitable as they have been so far. Judging from the reports brought back by the Seniors of their trip to Washington, the Junior class anticipates with much pleasure the spending of its funds. The first important social affair of the school year was a Hallo- '■e en Dance held by the Senior-1 class. Both decorations and costumes were unique, and made a fitting prelude to the series of social activi- ties held by that class during the year. On the evening of January 15, the Class of February 1921 held their Junior Prom. The hall was prettily decorated for the occasion. Everyone who attended the affair pronounced the affair a great success. 1 he Senior l’s have been selling chocolate at school, and by so do- ing have made a large addition to the funds in their treasury. 1 he Senior 1 Class held an informal dance on the sixteenth of April. I he hall was decorated with balloons. A good time was enjoy- ed by all. A Strawberry Festival and Dance was held in Masonic Hall on f riday evening, June 4, by the Senior 1 class. During a half-hour inter- mission refreshments, consisting of cake, ice-cream and strawberries, were served. The evening proved a great success, both financially and socially. 1 he 4-2 Seniors held a bazaar on the evenings of February 19 and 20 in the High School rooms. The novelty booths attracted many pa- trons on both nights while dancing, too, was enjoyed. Nearly all those present visited the tea room where refreshments were served. Grab bags and a “funny-man” entertainment amused the children. Both teachers and pupils were much pleased with the results. A supper was served by the girls of the Senior 4-2 class in the Masonic Hall on March 19. The tables were prettily decorated with twenty-two
