Question: What are the consequences of having a good time in Community Civics? Answer: An afternoon tea party. Can you beat it? Goellner says you can buy electricity by the quart. “The world is still deceived with ornament.” Who would have ever thought that Adelaide Hazel could ever act as lively as she did on that trip to New York? An Inquisitive One: “Muller, how is it your hair stands so erect?” Muller: “I never comb it.” (It speaks for itself. Jack.) “He! Marbleu!” shouted Miss Smith in reading an exciting para- graph in “Le Roi de Montagnes.” A Freshman stood up terrified and said, “Gee! I thought you were speaking to me.” What would happen if Collester, Jr., ever went to a game and didn’t wear those orange and purple stockings? A red Chalmers car with white wheels just naturally seems to wend its way up to Miss Stewart’s house. We wonder why? Mr. Collester, Sr. (with the poets) : “I see you profit by the words that drop from my lips.” Why does Collester pass Miss Hoffman’s room every day during the 7th period? Who is she. Collie? Miss Wallace: “Why does the U. S. Government send our weather reports?” Mr. Battel: “Because the farmers might have something in the fields that they don’t want to get wet.” Miss Servis: “Give a use for hemp.” Venus Eyers: “They make cigars of it.” Irene Bentley is a terribly noisy girl: She combs her hair in Bangs! When the girls try to thank Mr. Howell for the ride to school in the morning, he always protests by saying, “Don’t mention it.” Mr. Green was so overcome with emotion when he discovered Helen Borneman was behind, he fell upstairs. Where did Sauer get his black eye? Perhaps Tarris can tell. twenty-one

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

Conversation Heard Between Cross and Habeingrither Topic—“Girls Bobbing Their Hair” Cross: “Gee! Cooty garages are bad enough, but bobbed hair— Gee!” Habeingrither: “Gosh! They must curl it every two hours!” It seems that Jules Genthon knows nearly every girl in Clifton. Mr. Nichols: “Be sure you get that r the right length in rice; otherwise it will look like 1.” “Oh, Mr. Nichols, what would the word be then?” Ask Miss Kretchmar and Miss Jaugstetter about the box of candy they dropped twice in the Lexington Theatre. Of course we know that Miss Wilson loves to ride to school in a certain Junior's auto, but she doesn t have to try to make the girls jealous. We all want to know where Mr. Amato obtained his great dancing ability. Tell us, Mike, we want to learn. Mr. Wellenkamp seems to like Harriets the best. Ask him what we mean—he knows. Heard in Miss Jackson’s 4th period class on Friday while she was in the hall: Mikulik (shouting): “Hey! Howard.” Howard: “What?” Mikulik: “No school tomorrow.” Howard: “Why?” Class: “He! ha! ha! tomorrow is Saturday.” Why is Miss Musson so kind to her seventh period? Explain yourself. Miss Musson. Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said. When he bumped his shin against the bed: Blankety! Blank! Blank! Blank!!! He: “John stutters terribly.” She: “Always?” He: “No, just when he talks.” twenty-two
