Page Twenty-Eight THE BLUE AND GOLD More Speed Herb. “What's the difference be- tween an old man. a young man, and a worm ?” Harold. “I ll bite.” Herb. ‘‘There isn’t any. A chick- en gets them all!” Plenty of Room A stout woman asked a little boy, “Can you tell me if I can get through this gate to the park?” Boy. “I guess so; a load of hay just went through.” A Gentle Hint Corporal. “I hear that the drill- sergeant called you a blockhead.” Private. “No, he didn't make it as strong as that; he just said. ‘Put on your hat, here comes a wood- pecker.’ ” Worth Money Magistrate. “This man’s- watch was fastened in his pocket by a safety- pin. How did you manage to get it? Prisoner. “WTell. judge. I usually get five dollars fer six lessons.” Simple Simon A man in a mental hospital sat dangling a stick, with a piece of string attached, over a flower-bed. A visitor approached, and wishing to be affable remarked: ‘‘How many have you caught?” “You’re the ninth,” was the reply. Each in hi s own tongue The teacher told the class to re- write the following sentence, using their own words but regaining the original meaning: “A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse.” Here is the answer that one girl handed in: “A spasmodic movement of the optic is as adequate as a slight in- clination of the cranium to an equine quadruped devoid of its visionary capacities.” Not Dignified Bowler. “I understand that Sena- tor Green wanted you to act as his private secretary.” Simmons. He did, but I was not willing to accept the honor of such a position, because I would have to sign everything Green, per Sim- mons.” Double- Edged Gym Teacher (to girls). “Hots of girls use dumb-bells to get color in their cheeks.” Bright One. “And lots of girls use color on their cheeks to get dumb-bells.” He’s Sure Of It “I just passed the ex-kaiser’s home and heard him singing.” “What was he singing?” “Ain't gonna reign no mo’!” Not Excessive ‘ Madam, you lost your thumb in this trolley accident all right, but how can you prove it was worth the four thousand dollars you are sueing the company for?” Judge, it was the thumb I kept my husband under.” He Could Read “You big bonehead,” shouted the construction superintendent to his Swede foreman, “I told you to fire that man and you hit him with an axe.” ’ Yell, boss, dose axe, she have sign, ‘for fire only.’ ” Just as Good Waiter. “Will you have pie?” Miss Jones. Is it compulsory-” Walter. “Huh?” Miss Jones. “Is it compulsory?” Waiter. “Why, ah—we’re just out of compulsory, but we have some raspberry.”

THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Twenty-Seven The ball rom was beautifully de- corated with colors of both classes, green and white, and blue and steel. There was a great contrast of these colors and the pretty gowns of the young ladies. Delicious refresh- ments were served during the inter- mission and the merrymakers were refreshed with punch between the dances. The well-know Arcadians from Norristown furnished the excellent music for dancing. Their witty songs and merry laughs kept the dancers in spirited mirth. At the close of the dance, John Prizer, our able president, gave an address of thanks to the Juniors. Cheers followed by both classes, it was unanimously voted a night of pleasure. How do you like the senior pic- tures? Don’t you think the class should present “Goat” with a comb? Just think, schoolmates, this is the last time that the noble Seniors of 19-26 will have their column in this enjoyable magazine. May it prosper. Two of the teachers in the graces were absent on account of illness so Ruth Staley and Catherine Sukalski showed their ability as future teachers, perhaps. Florence Crawford and Germain Labrecque cannot find thrills enough on the ground so they had to try the air. Last week they journeyed to Doylestown and went sailing in the air. Ask them how they enjoyed their aeroplane ride. Florence said she wasn’t frightened at all. We are glad to report that several of the Seniors have secured posi- tions for their future business career. We wish tliem luck. We are glad to have “Tinker” back with us again. He has had a vacation of a week. A few Senior boys have great ex- pectations They think that they all will be called upon to deliver the valedictory address. ANNA KEOWN, ’26. THEO. WIEDEMANN, ’26.

THE BLUE AND GOLD Page Twenty-Nine No Gate-Tender An engineer surveying the right of way for the proposed railroad, was talking to a farmer. “Yes, he said, “the line will run right through your barnyard.” “Well.” answered the farmer, “ye kin do it, if ye want, but I’ll be jig- gered if I'll git up in the night just to open the gate every time a train comes through. Not Many Like Him “What kind of fellow is that effi- ciency expert?” “Well, he never enjoys an ocean voyage because there is so much salt going to waste.” I Told You So Mr. Langley. “Ah, they have just dropped their anchor!” Mrs. Langley. ‘‘Dear me! I was afraid they would. It’s been dang- ling outside for some time!” It’s No Joke! “Lost your job as a caddy?” asked one boy. “Yep,” replied the other. “I could do the work all right, but I couldn’t learn not to laugh.” Narcissa Farms !

But I can assure him that this pin- prick is the last straw which breaks the camel’s back. It is not up- rooted while still in the cradle, its venomous tongue will permeate the very pillars of democracy, and ring up the curtain on the deluge which will consume us all.” A Conshohocken High School Favorite SANDWICHES CIGARS CIGARETTES and CANDY Sam DeMarco 124 Favette St. SHOE SHINE PARLOR Shoes Dyed Black 60c CIGARS, TOBACCO, ICE CREAM and CANDY REGENT Cigar Store 106 Fayette Street i Frosty Pops I MX «5»
