JOKES. Mr. Gehring (in class explaining the use of “t”) : “There are three kinds of ‘t’s’ (teas) : green, black and mixed.” Mr. Gehring: “What does mixed pickles mean?” Richard Haag: “A big and a little one.” Mr. Weber: “What did the incoming of the steam engine have to do with the people?” Max Fried: “It made them more dense.” Mr. Harsh: “What did we girls learn this summer?” Mr. Heald: “If you haven’t seen a thing, you don’t know that there is such a thing. Now none of you have seen my brains. Then you don’t know I have any.” Mr. Weber: “W’here did the first cities originate?” Grace Curtis: “On the lakes.” Mr. Heald: “Give us the definition of the word ‘salmon.’ ” Louise Brown: “A marine fish.” Mr. Gehring (urging room agents to get subscriptions for the Annual) : “Now selling is right in your line, you might be selling automobiles or aeroplanes when you get out of school. Yes, aeroplanes that some of you run by hot air.” Mr. Weber: “Melania, what is the difference between the American-plan and the European-plan in a hotel?” Melania: “Oh-a-a-a, now in the American-plan in hotels, they serve turkey first on Thanksgiving Day, and in the European-plan, they serve oysters first.” (Class in uproar.) iso
