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

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

Father: “I’m ashamed that you cry like that because a bee stung you! Why don’t you act like a man?” Son: “Yes, and if I’d act like a man, you’d whip me for using that kind of language.” Parent: “Why did you keep my son after school when he did nothing?” Miss Smith: “I detained him because he would not tell me the present tense of avoir. He just stood and looked at me.” Parent: “He was dumfounded at your ignorance.” Who put the horseshoe in Bennie’s pocket at the Butler game? Heard from Hobie: “Now Lawyer didn’t run that race scien- tifically, etc.” Found: Another grand opera star—Senor Vasylinko. Goellner had decided to go into business as a barber when he leaves school! He always did have a stylish haircomb! Brownie’s spikes won three first places on Field Day. He glued wings onto them, before the race. What would Mr. Collester’s 7th period geometry class do if they did not have Uhlig and Katterman give their giggling performances. Miss Wallace: “Of what use are light houses and life buoys?” Victor Mattia (repeating question: “Of what use are light houses and little boys?” We would like to have the answer. According to Miss Marks, Mr. Collester always gives her just the part she can’t do. It’s exasperating to the last degree! Isn’t it, Clara? It’s too bad Bonitz has to carry his books to the blackboard when he corrects his sentences in Spanish class. Miss Berry specializes in Joe’s. She dances with Tarris and plays tennis with McFerran. “Say, Uhlig, you’re so wise you think Rex Beach is a summer resort.” Uhlig: “Well, what else is it?” The Agony Trio gave a concert on the return trip from the field meet at Columbia University.
