 JUNIOR WIT Freshie—“O, dear, Mr. Tom is going to make us sing something about brides.” Junior—“No wonder, he was recently a bride himself.” Mr. Helman, in American History, after having explained thoroughly the Tenure Office Act—“Are there any questions on the matter?” Duane L.—“I understand it, but I don’t sec where the ten years comes in.” Helman—“How does the U. S. raise money to-day?” Bright Student—“By the wartax and carpet tacks.” In Geom.—Given two concentrated (concentric) circles. Student in reciting Eng. 4—“Chaucer was one of the fore runners of the Renaissance.” Raymond Welsh—“Who were the other three?” Slocum is often called Izzy, And seldom he’s often found busy, But he is doing better Since he got his sweater, The color of which makes him dizzy. Mr. Helman, in solid geom.—“Helen, you have already told me twice you could not do that proposition.” Helen Bauss—“Do you want me to tell you a third time?” Miss Busby—“Scholars, are your feet all alike?” Mr. Helman—“I have been pretty generous in the matter of dates.’

22 THE TATTLER “What does M. B. A. L. C. stand for? Marguerite K.—“My Baby Alton Likes Clyde.” Dan B.—“No; My Brains Are Loosely Connected.” Life is a joke. All things show it; - Look at the “Freshies,” And then you'll know it. Miss Kahler in German 4—“Charles Griswold, I will wait for you every day.” Ethel Stone (reading in German 4)—“He looked across on the opposite bank at his feet below.” Mr. Helinan (American History)—“To whom did all the land in Feudalism belong?” F. Rankin—“I thought it belonged to the Lord.” A little hit of nonsense, A little bit of fuss, Sprinkled in the study-hall Make the teachers cuss. Miss Morrison (Eng. 4)—What are Alfred’s dates? Ruth F.—I have bad enough time remembering my own without trying to remember Alfred’s. (In Mod. Hist.)—I take very few notes in history, I only put down what I know. (Miss Morrison in Eng. Lit.)—Now, class, I will give you an outline—it will help you to remember your dates. (Sophomore, giving oral essay in English)—“The boys, in order to surprise their teacher, had their heads shaved off.” The freshman stood on the burning deck. Not a hair in his head did turn; He wasn’t afraid of the flames. Because he was too green to burn.
