There is Louis Zak, so strong and so hearty, Who is in his own sphere when attending a party; At basket ball, too, lie always wins fame; At baseball and football, he plays a good gam . CAN YOU IMAGINE: Russon in Mr. Gordon’s suit Joe Smolik wearing No. 5 shoes? Ed Day coming to school at 8:30 ? A New High School of Commerce? Joe Smolik in love? The orchestra playing ragtime? Isadore Samuels doing anything but studying? “Lou” Zak with the laugh of a civilized being? “Red” Cullen with black hair? “String” Russon being four feet tall? “Billy” Hilberer being six feet tall? “Jim” Donnelly with his hair combed? “Coach” Evans standing around with his mouth shut? “Gene” Broz with his hair mussed up? “Patsy” O’Connor feeling blue? Mr. Weber not assigning a lesson over vacation? Talking in Mr. Hoover’s class? Mr. Heald crabby in class? MR. CREIG’S MOTTO: A note, draft, or check, without cents, is nonsense. A bookkeeper without sense, is a nuisance. Question: Do you think we will have a new viaduct? Answer: I will have to draw on that. Mr. Dutton (in physics class): Now my grandfather has an old watch that is as good as mine. Russon (girl-like voice) : Maybe yours is an Ingersoll. 122
