Ethel Godfrey “1 TO THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1917 I take this opportunity to congratulate you upon your completion of the high school course, and as your commencement is at hand I trust that each of you have selected a high ideal towards which you will struggle. The youth who does not look up will look down and the spirit that does not soar is destined, perhaps, to grovel. You may long for some thing or place which you will never obtain or reach, for life never fulfills all the expectations of youth; the future never pays all that the present may promise, as nature holds back part of our wages lest we quit work. Life’s work is before you and I urge you to infuse into the purpose of of your various employments and professions of life, no matter how humble they may be, the sense of beauty and harmony, and you will be transformed from an artisan to an artist. The discontent you feel with the work you may be compelled to do comes from your doing it in the spirit of a drudge. Do it in the spirit of an artist, with a perception of the beauty which inheres all honest work, and the drudgery will disappear in delight. Always remem- ber it is the spirit in which we work and not the work itself, ever so humble it may be, which lends dignity to labor. It is natural that you should, at this time, be ambitious to take up life’s toils, as ambition is nature’s spur that makes one struggle with destiny and one’s ideal determines the character of the life. Ambition without character must ever prove fatal to its possessor. We, your teachers and school-mates, have enjoyed the association with you and we will miss your presence. You are going out into life, form new associates, and we trust, that your character will be such as to send out good influences, for, as the blossom cannot tell what becomes of its odor, no one can tell what becomes of their influence and example that roll away from their ken in their perilous mission. You have been faithful to the tasks of your school life and your friends trust that you will continue to show the same spirit toward the new duties and tasks you are about to take up. Very truly yours, G. E. POWERS, Supt.

Who gaze upon her unaware. CHARLES MURRAY He is oft the wisest man who does not appear wise at all. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1917 For history’s sake, underclassmen, appoint a class historian at once; don’t wait until time for commencement and then bestow this honored posi- tion upon the class “goat.” If you delay election the yarn will resemble some parts of ancient history in that it will be mostly suppositions. Of course the solemn Senior boasts of his splendid “forgetory” about his early high school days and remembers absolutely nothing of those childish pranks, for “the Freshman knows not and knows that he knows not; the Sophomore knows not but knows not that he knows not, yet it is the Junior who knows but knows not that he knows, while the Senior knows and KNOWS that he knows.” So here goes for reminiscence: If ever a verdant aggregation entered high school one did in 1913 when forty-five of us enrolled as Freshmen of the Croswell High School. In fact, so green and fresh were we that at our first class meeting we chose green and olive for our colors, emeralds for our jewels, the shamrock for our flower, with “The Wearing of the Green” for our class song. The word “haze,” of Sopho- more origin, was pressed indelibly upon our minds in those primer days. Our first officers were Clarence Woolivere, president; Ethel Godfrey, vice president; Kenneth Quail, secretary; Iva Graves, treasurer, and Ivan Gra- ham, representative to the Board of Control. Under these officials we were drilled forcibly in parliamentary law. Freshmen social functions are never very conspicuous but one of our quiet little affairs at the old school building was broken in upon by Sophomores. After swiping our coats they proceeded to christen us and made good use of the hose and hydrant. On another occasion our president and Benjamin Cudney nearly became man and wife at the hands of Rev. Simpkins. This burlesque ceremony took place in front of the “brown” church. The party was held at the home of Arthur Pomeroy. % Hi ❖ In 1914 only thirty-eight of our class advanced to the position of Sopho- mores. Our august faculty re-elected some Freshmen while to others they handed “rain checks.” This period was one of reciprocity. We were on the offensive when “hazing” and, in fact, have never to this day been forgiven by several good souls. The officers for this year were Albert Halverson, president; Iva Robb, vice president; Ella Bradfoi'd, secretary; Ivan Graham, treasurer, and Burton Sturtridge, representative to the Board of Control. Our social functions were far from delinquent. Sleigh rides predomi- nated. The ones to Cudney’s and Swafford’s were great successes—the fruit of our trouble being mostly (pairs). He He He H« He The next year thirty-seven of us enrolled as Juniors, but not for long. Three became fatally injured by Cupid’s darts, (tokens of sympathy may be sent to the back door), and a few others answered London’s “Call of the Wild,” but never got beyond Detroit. From those remaining- we chose our officers: Iva Robb, president; Ella Bradford, vice president; Ethel Godfrey, secretary; Earl Hall, treasurer, and Kenneth Quail, representative to the Board of Control. Our stern and mighty commander-in-chief ruled over the class in a very agreeable democratic manner (?). The chief social event of the year was the customary Junior-Senior banquet held in the high school building. Here we attempted the rash thing of feeding Seniors. Our services were also enjoyed in decorating for com- mencement exercises and waiting table at the alumni banquet. It is the Junior who realizes that he “knows but knows not that he knows” and wakes up to the fact that he is in high school for more than pleasure. ❖ In the last lap of our high school life the “round up” was twenty-four. The officers elected from these were Kenneth Quail, president; Ethel Godfrey, vice president; Elizabth Grey, secretary, and Prof. E. L. Raven, class adviser and treasurer. Stern class government is necessary for dignified Seniors, which possibly accounts for the choice of officers. The many business details of the Senior year have made our social functions of secondary importance. Our good times were numbered, but do you remember that party at the home of Iva Robb on November 10th, and the one at Mr. Raven’s on June 8th, to say nothing of the way the Juniors, with the aid of a flag-pole, entertained us so unceremoniously now and then. Financial embarassment was saved the class by the tremendous success of our play, “A College Town.” Our graduating exercises were divided into three parts: The bacca- laureate address by Rev. H. A. Simpson, June the seventeenth; class day exer- cises June the nineteenth, and the commencement address by Dr. Samuel Dickie, of Albion College, June the twenty-second. ♦ jjc sjc sf: sf: The class of 1917, the largest that ever graduated from Croswell High School, has always possessed more than the average in class spirit and har- mony. We have excelled in school athletics. Only two Senior boys have failed to get a “C” while several have earned them from all divisions of the high school athletics. A Senior quintette formed Croswell High School’s basketball team for 1917, and |(?) (.)|!(busted pencil). IVAN GRAHAM. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Fifty-two Freshmen enrolled in the class of 1916 and at our first class meeting’ elected George H. Rightenburg as president. Our first social func- tion was a Hallowe’en party. This will long be remembered by Everett Rea, George Rightenburg and Stanley West, who served as the upper-classmen’s chief amusement for the evening. Concerning our studiousness, opinions vary, for during the first year we, as a class, were called brainy and again “pig-headed,” (but it is complimentary to even accuse Freshmen of the former). In our Sophomore year matrimony caused our number to be diminished. Minnie Filwock-Moran married a school teacher and started demonstrating her tactfulness in a rural district. Alva Stone-Farley and Gail Fockler-Moran went into partnership with farmers while Ethel Hall-Wellar decided that life in the Ford “community” was preferable to our city. About the middle of the year we Sophomores gave a party which proved to be the best of the annuals. With forty-four Jolly, Jolly Juniors, and Miss Wixson as patron, we have had a most successful year. Many of our loyal Juniors are foreign students from Carsonville, Peck and Deckerville. The first good time of the year was held in the high school hall where the Juniors showed the right kind of class spirit by turning out in a body—an almost unheard of thing for a social function. Fresh (?) cider was served in great quantities but none went home any the worse for this unless it was Messrs. Powers and Raven, who took a jug with them. This year, once during each week, the morning exercises have been in charge of the respective classes and we have not failed to do our share in the entertainment, in fact it has been admitted by all the classes that the Junior programs have been the best(?). afe a|e afe � fe afe The first flag rush in the history of C. H. S. was held this year, and for about two days the battle waged. After three of the sacred emblems of the class of 1918 mysteriously disappeared we decided to “quit the field.” In the final treaty no bad feelings were recorded but the Juniors were forced to ac- knowledge defeat by the upper classmen. So far in our high school career we have been successful and we trust you will read in our Year Book, “The class of 1918 is the largest and best ever graduated from dear old C. H. S.” MARIE MATTHEWS.

See the noble Freshman, Behold his face so fair; How green he is, How fresh he is, His dome is full of air. Q. Why is Win. Baker called “Bill?” A. Because he was born on the first of the month. Heard at a Marlette hotel when the foot ball team were dining therein: Waitress: “Roast beef hash cold ham fried fish beef steak.” Gofton: “Beef steak, please.” Waitress: “How would you like it? Well done?” Gofton: “Oh, fry it.” Miss Wixson: “Use ‘indigo' in a sentence, Mr. Hall.” Hall: “Mr. Mason should be indigo cart.” Freshman: “What is the faculty?” Junior: “They are just a bunch hired to help the Seniors run the school.” Mr. Galbraith: “General Howe realized that there were but two places to go one of them was Halifax. Halverson: “Did you ever take chloro- form?” Beck: “No, who teaches it?” “Do you think C. H. S. turns out the best men?” “Yes, they turned me out in my Freshman year.” The mother of one of our little Freshmen girls had received an interesting bit of news, and she said to her daughter: “Janie, dear, auntie has a new baby, and nbw mamma is the baby's aunt, papa is the baby’s uncle, and you are her little cousin.” Well,” said Janie, wonderingly, Wasn’t thatarranged quick?” The Devil sends the wicked wind To raise the skirts sky high. But Heav’n is just, And sends the dust To close the Freshman’s eye.” While studying the growing and uses of corn in botany class Howard West asked this question (really serious): “Are maple flakes made from maple leaves?” Bruce English first heard a concert when he attended a recent entertainment in aid of a patriotic fund. A celebrated soprano, ac- companied by a famous orchestra, was sing- ing when Bruce arrived. The small lad be- came at once interested in the gesticulations of the conductor. Mother, why is that man shaking his stick at the lady?” he asked. Hush, he is not shaking his stick at the lady.” Then what is she screaming for?” Freshie: “Are late hours good for one?” Junior: “No, but they are all right for two.” FRESHMAN CLASS DOOOOOOC DOOOCZ300OC XXXXX50CZ3000CZXX FRESHMEN greta 1. cook, president john cutler, vice president hern ice learmont, secretary howard soule, treasurer william s. baker clarence barker warren beach harold beck leonard bradley vida casey edward conoly nellie coon Christine decker estella decker lavern dimmick william do an Cornelius doelle samantha dunsmore carl easton bruce english ford french claude gofton alvin graham bella grant Christina gray mary hawks ell wood heacock alex hendry howard hughes nellie huston ralph kennedy bernice kenney vera b. kenney oscar koon lucille lawrence elva lawson gladys long eldon lovell pierce mason mary mater cecil matthews norma messecar franees a. miller clarence mcnaughton lela mccarty genevieve schroeder helen sheldon X vaughn steckerS gi p leland straffonvf carleton taylor ruth tice regina vollmar guy wagner madeline wagner elmer wedge howard west irene westbrook harry williams THE SENIOR PARTY Our first Senior party was held at the home of Iva Robb November 10th, Ella Bradford and Ethel Godfrey assisting- the hostess. The fore part of the evening- was given to awaiting- the arrival of the foot ball boys, who had that day been battling with Deckerville. This “necessity,” however, arrived about 9:30 o’clock, and the remainder of the evening was spent in playing games. Among the most interesting was a program in which each member had to tell a story, sing, dance or play the piano. Following this a dainty lunch was served, during which we were entertained by the comic capers of “Bob.” As we wended our way homeward, one could hear such expressions as “Oh! that Bob, or “Say! but didn’t we have a good time?” All very true, and who will dare to forget that Senior party? THE JUNIOR PARTY The Junior party was the attraction for October 27th, and the High School auditorium was the scene of this event. Dancing was enjoyed while the guests were assembling. Arrangements had been made for Hallowe’en stunts and games; all of which proved to be the making of much amusement. Lunch in keeping with the season was served at 10:30, and all departed having spent a most enjoyable evening. BASKETBALL PARTY After the victory for both boys and girls in the basket ball game with Harbor Beach, March 16th, one of the liveliest parties of the season was given. Immediately after the game the orchestra assembled and the merriment began. Dancers, both old and young, tripped the light fantastic until 12 o’clock when the St. Patrick’s Day merry-makers wended their ways homeward. FOOTBALL BANQUET The night of December 15th, 1916, brought forth the much anticipated event, the football banquet, which was held at the High School Building. In this case, anticipation was not greater than realization, for everyone boasted of a right good time. The guests began to assemble about 8 o’clock, and by 8:30, the affair was in full swing. While the last of the preparations were being made for the banquet, dancing was enjoyed until the guests were asked to take their places at very prettily decorated tables, which had been arrang- ed in the downstairs laboratory. The banquet was most palatable and before leaving the tables, a flash light was taken. Immediately an announcement was made that we were to go to the upper hall and there cast our lines into a magic pool. A number of the gentlemen found that their looks might well be improved by use of some of the things to which fate had directed should be put on that particular line, for instance, such as a little talcum powder, a few hair pins or an elaborately decorated back comb. And yet more fun was in store for all. In the main hall each one tested (his) ability in athletics. A regular field meet! Later we resorted to our first source of enjoyment and danced until 10 o’clock, whence we departed for our re- spective homes.

The ratio can not be decided universally but depends upon the individual. Provided he is physically fit, each can legally choose how great a part he shall take, but in order to participate legally, must have a passing mark in at least three subjects of the high school course. Everyone is aware of the necessity for the physical training as well as the mental side— which is compulsory. In Croswell there is an opportunity for all to receive the benefit from the various pastimes, especially since football and girls’ basketball have been added. Each of the sports has been treated separ- ately in this book. We might only say here that the record of C. H. S. in athletic events has always been high and to preserve this will require the united efforts of all loyal members. FOOTBALL TEAM mnnnnrv-----mmnm--------mnm--------mnt-----y« innoo yiQOOOOg FOOTBALL Some there are, in our city, opposed to football in con- nection with high school athletics, and who think it simplified warfare. But we believe many were brought to realize the real benefits derived from the physical as well as mental training and spirit aroused by the snappy contests witnessed on the gridiron during the past two seasons. Croswell’s 1916 season was comparatively successful, it be- ing the second year for the game in Croswell. Much credit is due Coach Powers and Captain Graham for their persistent work in recruiting a team and teaching the principles of the game. In our first game, which was with Yale, our fellows started with a rush, easily outclassing their opponents. The second game, though more difficult, likewise resulted in a victory for C. H. S. over Brown City. The next two contests, with Marlette and Deckerville respectively, were hard earned victories for the opposing teams, but in the return game with Marlette, with Gardner, our star half back, and Quail and Wixson, a guard and tackle, out on account of minor injuries, Croswell was unable to score. In Deckerville the fellows fought hard to defend their goal as well as their legal rights in the game, but were compelled to return with another defeat. The sev- enth and final game was with Harbor Beach on our home grounds, and the “White and Blue” won by a large score, giv- ing C. H. S. a record of three games won and four lost. We wish to call your attention to the fact that only one game was played with each of the teams over which Croswell was victorious, while with the other two return games were played. At the meeting of the team after the close of the season, Stanley Simpson was elected captain, Supt. Powers, coach, and Murl Congdon, student manager for the year of 1917.

It fills the gap from the end of the foot ball season in late autumn to the time when the first base ball is thrown. Do you realize that without basket ball our school would be minus a great factor that serves to arouse interest and keep up spirit of the boys and girls alike? In speaking of the 1916-17 team, we do not believe that any of the fellows should be given special mention. All of the regulars played the game right up to standard and it was due to their concerted efforts and the three substi- tutes that Croswell succeeded in winning the championship of Sanilac and Huron counties. The quintet that fought the greater share of the battles are all members of the class of ’17 and, as they leave the ranks this year, it will be up to those remaining who participated in contests the past season and the other available material to defend the basket ball title of C.

This year the girls in our High School organized and challenged two Huron County teams, both of which have had several years of experience. At Bad Axe, where the first game was played, they were confronted by a much stronger team, and were beaten by a score of 7 to 35. In the second and third games with Harbor Beach and Bad Axe respectively, the Croswell girls were again forced to accept defeat. This did not discourage them. On the eve of the last game, Harbor Beach vs. Croswell, the girls determined to win for old C. H. S. and by a fine display of team work succeeded in wresting the game from their opponents by a score of 3 to 2. We believe that girls’ athletics should be a factor in the athletics of our High School. We realize that in Croswell the game is in its embryo stage, but with the experience gained in the past season, the girls’ basket ball team of C. H. S. bids fair to be among the winners in the future. The girls feel that in a great measure their success was due to the untiring- efforts of their coach, Miss Wixson, and take this opportunity to extend their thanks for the services she has rendered.

Guard BASEBALL Starting- the season with fairly good prospects we were forced, through unforseen difficulties, to be content with a mediocre season. The Athletic association, being without ample funds, was unable to finance the team through the season; the majority of the players were from rural districts and used all of their available time working on the farm. And feeling that the bit they could do for their country in this way, the team decided to cancel all scheduled games. In a practice game of five innings with Lexington, Cros- well defeated them with a score of 15 to 1. On Memorial Day a game was played with Brown City high school for the pur- pose of securing finances for the athletic association. Our team having had but one night of preliminary practice, were forced to yield to their opponents, the final score being 9 to 6. TRACK Croswell has always held a prominent place in track, both in county and state. We held second place in the tri-state inter- scholastic track meet held at Ann Arbor in 1911, being beaten for first place by Toledo Central High School; and state records have been made year after year by our athletes. We had held the county championship for seven consecutive years until last year when Deckerville won the meet. The prospects this season are not as favorable as in other years due to the fact that the fellows have not been able to train dilligently enough. The death of Earl Hall, who was a sure point-winner in several events, leaves the team much weaker. The old Croswell spirit is there nevertheless and the team will do its best at the county meet to be held at Sandusky June 8th. Dec. 11—He has it.

I shall not want; He maketh me prove dense proportions, He leadeth me to expose my ignorance before my class, He maketh me draw figures upon the board for my classes’ sake. Yea, tho’ I study 'till midnight, I shall gain no geometry; For propositions bother me, And originals sorely trouble me. He prepareth puzzles for me in the presence of mine enemies, He giveth me a low grade: My work runneth under. Surely zeroes and conditions will follow me all the days of my life— And I shall dwell in the geometry class for- ever. Marie: Mercy, see those football boys all covered with mud! How do you suppose they will ever get clean?” Johnny D: “Huh! What do you suppose the scrub team is for?” You can tell a Freshmen By the tan on his face; You can tell a Sophomore By his lack of grace; You can tell a Junior By the way he struts; You can tell a Senior, But you can’t tell him much. Miss Williams (In English IV): “Now that I have shown you how to write a check in- volving dollars and cents, how would I write one when I have no sense (cents)?” Miss Cook: “Decline ‘The Old Woman.’” Sprowl: “She is not declinable.” When Edward Meyer was but a little chap he used to pull some funny sayings. Here’s one of them: “Oh mamma! come quick, the baby is eating all the currants off the fly paper.” Mike: “Begorra, an’ I had to go through the woods the other night where Casey was murdered last fall an’ that they say is haunt- ed, an’ bedad I walked backwards the whole way. Pat (Not Leonard this time): An’ what was you after doin’ that?” Mike: Faith, so that I could see if any- thing was cornin’ up behind me.” Benedict (On Woodward Avenue, Detroit): Hi, Policeman! I’ve just missed my brother. If he comes along will you ask him to wait here for me?” Policeman: But how am I to know him?” Benedict: Ah! to be sure I hadn’t thought of that. Well, tell him to never mind.” Esther: Why does the whistle blow, dear?” Albert: Because we are approaching eith- er a station, bridge or a tunnel.” Esther: Oh! I hope it is a tunnel.” Mugs: Hey Pork, how about that debt you owe me? Did you forget it?” Pork: Not yet! Give me time. “How very immodest the trees are in their bare limbs!” “Don’t worry, they will soon be leaving.” Sweet Ella in a night gown cute and thin, Knowledge of China-land was seekin’; But with a bang she closed the book, You see the capital was Pekin.” Miss Monzo seems like a reserved girl.” Yes, I wonder who for?” Student: This steak is like a day in June-very rare.” Landlady: And your board bill is like March weather—always unsettled.” Rube: Do you know, this civics class re- minds me of a Ford?” Bob: “How’s that?” Rube: Oh, just a bunch of nuts with a crank in front of them.” IRISH LITERATURE DISAPPOINTMENT (Romance in two acts) I. II. Ah, there! You bet! Pa there? Better get. Miss Cook (In German II): “What is Worms noted for?” Avery: “Catching fish.” Miss Williams: “Spell the word ‘antith- esis,’ Mr. Quail.” Bob: “A-n-t-i-t-h-e------” (mumble) Miss Williams: “I did not get the last part, Mr. Quail.” Bob: “I really didn’t intend that you would.” Powers (In chemistry class): “And the salt which we eat every day is broken up in your stomach and used in making gastric juices, just as we have done it by electrol- ysis.” Paterson: “But where would you get an electric current in the stomach?” Graham: “Eat a storage battery.” The chemistry class has solved one reason for the raise in the price of Barium: It is in such great demand now by the undertak- ers. “It is the sign of death,” said Polly, “when a cat in the night howls ominously.” “Yes,” replied Burt, “a fateful one if I hear it in time to get a gun.” When to German class I go, I always seek a nook, The reason is quite plain, you know The class is taught by Cook. And when through the glass I peep, And then enter through the door, I pray, if I should go to sleep, O Lord, don’t let me snore. Frances: “I dreamed last night that you kissed me.” Earl: “Do you believe that dreams go to the contrary?” Frances: “It begins to look that way.” Miss Wixson: “With whom did th£ Unit- ed States fight for her independence?” Miss Watson: “France.” Burt's mother (before Burt left to play football at Deckerville): “Now Burton don’t be foolish and run into any of those fellows.” The infant terrible: “If I wasn't here, I bet that gentleman would kiss you.” Sister (horrified): “You impertinent boy! Go away this minute.” Miss Wixson: “Mr. McIntyre, give me a sentence with the word ‘judicious’ in it.” Freddie: “My mother makes matzas, ge- fucti and other Jew dishes.” Upon asking George Rightenburg what his duty was at the sugar factory he politely in- formed them that he was assistant electri- cian and his work comprised of taking out and replacing electric light globes. Miss Robb: “How dare you swear before me?” Mr. Brown: “Oh, I beg your pardon! How did I know that you wanted to swear first?” Mark had been putting great stress on a certain point of government in civics class when Prof. Galbraith broke in upon him with: “Now, Mr. Wixson, that you have given us your opinion, tell us what the book says.” Roy Williams (Translating the German poem, “Immensee”): “She wore a blue rib- bon around her sewing machine.” Mr. Powers: “What made the Tower of Pisa lean?” Mark: “If I knew I'd try it.” While boating on the bay one night, I saw the ocean’s arm Steal gently around a neck of land To keep it’s shoulder warm. This made me jealous as could be, It really made me sore, And so I paddled toward the land, And closely hugged the shore. Miss Cook: “What is upholstering, Mr. Williams?” Williams: “Why-er, that’s what holds up the seat.” Salesman: “Is Mr. Powers in?” Student in office: “No, I believe he went out for lunch.” Salesman: “Will he be in after lunch?” Student: “Why no, that is what he went out after.” Little drops of acid, Little bits of zink, Give us lots of learning, But raise an awful ----- —Chemistry Class. She: “How’d the picture come out you took of Miss Garbutt in her bathing suit?” He: “Not so good.” She: “What was the trouble?” He: “Too much exposure.” She: “Oh!!” Murray: “How is it that Benedict came to break with Ethel? He used to say that she was as good as gold.” Halverson: “Well you see he’s got ac- quainted now with a girl who has gold.” Doc: “I managed to get drunk on cider last night.” Don: “You must have found it rather hard.” IRISH LITERATURE The new nurse (While A. Halverson was in the hospital): Have you been takin’ magnesium sulphate regularly?” Albert: Why-er, I have been taking ep- som salts, but I don’t know about the mag- nesium sulphate.” Henry: Gee, I’ve got her number alright.” Dicky: “You have!” Henry: “Yep, and it’s some figure too.” “Joyce Mathews is looking better, isn’t she?” “Huh! So is your porch now that you’ve got it painted.” Charley: “Are you familiar with mathe- matics?” Pat: “Sure, I call them ‘math’ for short.” They stood beside the meadow bars, Beneath the twinkling sky, Above them evening stars Like diamonds shone on high. They stood knee deep in clover, But whispered not of vows, As silently they lingered there, Two peaceful Jersey cows. “May I print a kiss upon your lips?” I asked, She nodded her sweet permission. So we went to press and I rather guess We printed a large edition. “Decker would be able to dance perfectly were it not for two things.” “Yes, what are they?” “His feet.” Mark says he wants to sweep the cobwebs from his brain. We would suggest the use of a vacuum sweeper. Doctor: You seem to be suffering from lint on the lungs! But that can’t be possible. What on earth have you been doing?” Stanley S: “I guess your diagnosis is right, Doc. I have been kissing a girl through her veil.” Through the busy downtown streets a stalwart policeman led a little child by the hand. Miss Monzo paused before them a mo- ment. Then, in a ldden burst of sympathy she bent over the child and kissed her. Poor lamb! She looks so cold and starv- ed-like and she hasn’t been washed for a week. Some folks cannot be trusted with children, wicked, cruel things they are. Where did you find the child, policeman?” “Find the child, woman?” snorted the po- liceman angrily. “I didn’t find her at all. She’s my own kid.” Pat was at Cass City when this occurred: “Oh, Mr. Patterson, do have some more rel- ish! We will only give it to the pigs any- Galbraith: “What has been the dominat- ing character of America’s military program up to the last three years?” Benedict: “Not prepared, sir.” Galbraith: “Correct.” They say Raven is going to get $11,000 per.” Per what?” “Perhaps!” “Our eyes have met, Our lips not yet; But oh, you kid, I’ll get you yet!” —Pork. Miss Williams: Give the meaning of the word ‘fierce.’ ” A. Nurenburg: Oh, it’s something aw- ful.” Miss Cook: I will expect you all to know the following poems for the exam Wednesday: Die Wacht am Rhine, Die Lorelie, etc.” Mr. Williams: But I did not learn the first two last year.” Miss Cook: Well, then, you had better review them.” Miss Simpson: What is it you eat that makes you so fat?” Miss French: Because I eat what is right. And what is it that you eat to make you so thin?” Miss Simpson: I eat what is left.” “Max Farr was nearly electrocuted a while ago.” “How was that?” “While working in the bakery he stepped on a bun that had a currant in it.” Miss Wixson: “Now along with the other assignment for tomorrow I want you to write out the proper uses of ‘myself.’ It is so often misused you know.” Raven (Inexplaining the molecular theory): “You see in pounding a metal it becomes smaller and in bending metals back and forth a great number of times they become hot.” Rube: “Well I guess if somebody was bendi g you back and forth a number of times you’d get hot too.” Burt has all the dignity, Airs and benignity, That Senior’s naturally enjoy, But it all flickered out, When a girl snickered out, “My, what a cute little boy.” Earl Hall has a pig on his farm which he calls“Ink” for the simple reason that it keeps running out of the pen. Lillian Watson reminds me of Augusta Wind.—Editor. IRISH LITERATURE IN OUR GYM Who steal my soap, steals trash, But he who takes from me my good towel Robs me of that which not only dryeth me But leaves me damp indeed. Raven (After explaining the formation of Stalagmites and Stalagtites in caves): “I will expect you to remember this now. Benedict: “Well, how do you tell them apart?’’ Raven: “The ‘mites’ go up and the ‘tites’ always come down?” Rube (After looking at the typewriter for a minute): “I’ll be hanged if I can find ‘K’ (Kay) when I want to.” Ella B. (History class): “And the Quakers were thrown into prison and their heads cut off, but they kept on working for their cause just the same.” Rube (In chemistry lab.): “Well, no won- der you lose your lamp, Bob, you go away and leave it running.” Lips that touch “Pork” shall not touch mine.—Mugs. Miss Wixson: “About portraits, Mr.Sturt- ridge, do you like the ladies of olden time?” Sturtridge: “Naw, too many clothes— about fifteen yards around.” When joy and duty clash, Let duty go to smash. — McIntyre. Prof. Raven: “In what state is zinc found?” Graham: Uncombined state.” Halverson: “Louisiana.” Meyer: “Are you fond of a joke?” N. Galbraith: “Why, I hardly know you.” Prof. Raven (Before turning the chemistry class over to Mr. Powers): “When we meet again I won’t be with you.” Miss Wixson (Giving words to be declin- ed): “‘Go’ Mr. Graham, ‘heave’ Miss Wat- son, ‘shine’ Miss Martin, and ‘show’ Mr. Halverson.” He: “May I see you a noment before you retire?” She: “Well, hardly.” Hall: “I hear Jones died from a single blow.” Benedict: “Who hit him?” Hall: “No one, he blew out the gas.” “ ’Lo Albert, fishin’?” “Naw; drownin' worms.” Avery is very sore now he sat down on the spur of the moment! Rube: “Say, Pork, what makes your vest so large? Been on a diet?” Pork: “Naw, when the tailor made this suit he thought we were going to vote for Home Rule.” Galbraith: “Mr. Paterson, give a short talk on the early history of Maryland.” Pat (After elaborating on the government, people, etc.): “When William and Mary came to the throne they divided Maryland into North and South Carolina.” Miss Williams: “Give the meaning of the word ‘expect.’ ” Nurenburg: “What was the question?” Miss Williams: “Give the meaning of ‘ex- pect.’ ” Nurenburg: “It means when you’re look- ing for something.” Raven (After the night before): “Be sure and bring your loof lease note books to class Friday to get those formulas in Tapter Chew. T6: “Why is the letter ‘A’ so valuable to a deaf woman?” T5: “Don’t know, unless it makes ‘her’ hear.” STUDENT’S HEADQUARTERS Books, Stationery, Jewelry, Graphonolas, Kodaks Drugs, Candy, Cigars, Crockery, Silverware X A.
