TM Healy has a new car, which was guaranteed as follows: (1) To go like the wind, but every time he took it out there was no wind to be had. (2) To be of 45 horse power, but when he bought it he found that half of the horses had died, and the other half were already dying. (3) To be a runabout. It surely was a runabout. It would run about a mile and then stop. (4) To match with any $5,000 car. (???????) (5) To be in good condition if it was never used. Information Please Is HaroIdBrown? Is Richard White? Is Madie Green? Is Clara Sharp? Does Margaret Russell? Is Florence A Lane? Is Russell Jack’s son? Is Cora E’ Hill? If Gertie left us would Arthur Plog? “Mr. Howell would be easy to rob.” “Why?” “Because his locks are few.” To the Boys of Clifton High If ever in need of players on your baseball team, just come around to the 3-2 girls in room 26 during lunch period and ask Mr. Derr for recommendation. Mr. Erber certainly is a favorite with three of the Junior 2 girls. Tell us how you do it, Lewis. I wonder if Mr. Nichol’s hand ever gets tired cranking his watches? I wonder why Emma Mohlenhoff was so interested in the tug-o’- war between firemen and policemen at the Field Meet. Ask her; there’s a reason. Lost: Miss Van Cleve’s handkerchiefs. Found: In Mr. Riley’s pockets. nineteen

The Junior 2 Class held a dance on Friday evening, April 22, at Masonic Hall. It was a success both socially and financially. Re- freshments, consisting of punch and ice cream, were served. The music was furnished by Healy’s Orchestra. The Junior 2 Prom which was held at Masonic Hall, Friday even- ing, May 1 3, was a decided success. The hall was very effectively decorated in green and white, the class colors. In spite of the rainy weather, a very large crowd attended. Punch was served. The Liberty Jazz Orchestra furnished the fine music, which helped to make the affair a success. During the past term the Junior 2 Class held a number of fruit sales. Apples and oranges were sold to the students at reasonable prices. These sales helped in increase the class funds. Plans are being made by the Junior 2 Class for a trip up the Hud- son, sometime after the examinations. This will be the last event of the class this year ¥ The Junior 3-1 Class held their first evening dance, Friday evening. May 6. It was a great success. The 2-1 Class, this term, as in the year before, held a Rosebush Sale, and the profits, due to the excellent quality of the bushes, were far more than those of the previous year. On the first Wednesday in April, the class gave an afternoon dance, which was well attended and proved to be a success. On the 22nd of June the two year business students will be the guests of the four year students on a trip up the Hudson to West Point. ¥ The Freshmen 1-2 Class held a very enjoyable afternoon dance this last semester. Refreshments were sold and the peanut hunt was a big success. It must also be said that the Freshmen 1-2 Class had the highest point in the Field Day Meet. ¥ The Freshmen 1-1 of Clifton High School gave an afternoon dance during the month of April, 1921. Punch and cake were sold, and music was furnished by Miss Spencer and Miss G. Conners. eigli teen

I wonder who had first claim on Chingy Riley? We wonder how Miss Bennett stays in Room 26, third period, now that Mr. Meyers has gone. When one mentions RATS nowadays the girls don’t jump on a chair but feel for their hair. What’s going to happen? Mr. Nichols hasn’t used his Eversharp for a few days. In Room 20 Miss Jackson: “Boys, keep quiet.” Brown: “Miss Jackson, can I speak to Sutter?” Miss Jackson: “No, I have a class and there will be no talking. Brown: “Then can Sutter speak to me?” Miss Jackson: “Yes.” Why doesn’t Mike Shershin show up to the dances in his flashy suit? Miss Smith: “Jorlett, what poem did you select?” Jorlett: “The Skylark, by Shelley.” Miss Smith: “What do you know about Shelley?” Jorlett: “Noth------Oh! he wrote the poem.” Someone in the corridor was moving the book cases. Brandell remarked that it reminded him of the H. S. Orchestra. He has a wonderful ear for music. Teacher: “Where do bugs go in winter?” Pupil (absentmindedly) : “Search me.” Miss Georgette Connors is quite dramatic. At a recent baseball game she was heard to exclaim, “Oh! My hopes are quenched.” Bill Mair has captured another “Fair Lady’s” heart. How do you do it, Billy? The Community Civics Class had been talking of taxes when some- one remarked the existence of an “heir” tax. Miss Kallen must have misunderstood for she exclaimed: “An air tax? Why, how ridiculous. twenty
