RE-ECHO 15 THE TEACHERS’ EXAM (that they could all pass) How long did the Hundred Years War last? Who wrote “Grey’s Elegy?” How many fingers did “Three Finger Ike” have ? When was the “War of IS 12” fought? What countries fought in the Spanish-Amer- ican” War? Who wrote Payne’s Autobiography? Where did Lincoln deliver his Gettysburg Address? Who wrote “Wee’s Outline of History?” What river did Washington cross when he crossed the Delaware? What is the color of Blue Vitrol? To Pinkie we dedicate this rhyme— He never gets to school on time; Quick to join in any fun, Before he has his lessons done. Bill’s “as idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean,” For things that any effort take. He never gets the notion. Lo and behold Willard’s bashful eyes— Wherein his hate for woman lies, At Pole Vaulting he is a shark We know some day he’ll make his mark. Now Falls Hi is the school for us Falls Hi for evermore— But when you’re sent for an absence blank, Gee! doesn’t it make you sore? Now we love all our teachers dear When everything’s serene But it’s a very different story When they crack you on the bean. You know your society is the best That Falls Hi ever had Until you’re put on next program Gee, doesn’t it make you mad ? You hope you’ll make the track team And go to practice every night It gives you an awful jolt to hear The Coach say you’re a fright. USELESS STATISTICS Fifty per cent of the female teachers of Cuya- hoga Falls Hi School have bobbed hair. Four Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-two feet of fingernails were bitten off at the Normal- Falls Basket Ball Game. Clarence Snyder has worn out on the average (in the last two years) six more pair of shoes than he would have worn out if Marjorie lived in town. Orion has spent 365 nickels in the last year riding home from the Gorge. Out of the 99'i of kids that use absence blanks 2% have parent’s signature. Mike Grose holds the record of the guards on Girls' Basket Ball Squad for 1924. During the entire season Grosie scored 3 points. It is estimated that on the average two out of all the girls attending Wednesday night dances wore their own clothes. Two Hundred Twenty days until Christmas —do your Christmas shopping early. Why is the Re-echo like a girl? Because every boy needs one and shouldn’t borrow his neighbor's. Elma made an Angel Cake Just for darling Curtis’ sake, Curtis ate it every crumb Then he heard the angels hum, “Curtis Cum.” Curtis Went. Lives of editors remind us. That our lives are not sublime; That they have to work like thunder To get their copy out on time.

14 RE-ECHO THE GIRL THAT MEN FORGET Her eyes are blue for dear Kent State; Her lips are Kenmore hue; And her golden hair with its bow of black Are Falls Hi colors too. Roosevelt’s red, Ravenna’s maroon, Or Bedford’s white will do. Because to fifty high school boys She’s trying to be true. Marguerite Strehlau. WHAT A CHANGE THE WORLD WOULD BE! If the seniors would stop bragging about them- selves ; If absence blanks could stop kids from skipping; If Anna could be seen without Art. If Willard would take a walk with a girl; If Lonie would not; If a student that could sing would try out for the Glee Clubs; If Karl would throw aside the idea that every girl is dead in love with him; If Ethel and Marion would work during the absence of Mr. Richardson and Mr. Layton; If a Falls Hi girl could love a Kenmore boy; If the gang didn't hang out at the “Uni”; If Grossie refused a ham sandwich; If Miss Ruhlen would grow up; If Johnny Cummings would break football train- ing; If Curt Cummings would keep football training; If Miss Craig and Mr. Cooper didn’t sleep in chapel. “CAN YOU REMEMBER WHEN?” Harold Adams used to be Ben Hur’s chauf- feur ? George Hinman was ring master at the Coli- seum ? John Peabody was a tailor for Adam? Helen Roetbig and Mark Anthony in collabora- tion wrote Caesar’s funeral oration? Cicero and Alma were in the big debate? Grosie and Willard were the chief javelin bear- ers in Caesar’s 10th Legion? Fisher used to grapple with the lions in the Coliseum while all the ladies in the audience looked with envious eves at Lady Mildred holding his blue necktie ? M irriam Nighman and Martha Oattis rode char- iots to school ? WHILE WATCHING A GIRLS’ BASKET- BALL GAME: Eric—“Why don’t they drop a couple in the basket ?” Bill—“What’s the use. they’d fall right thru.” SENIOR PARTY Where was Prof, when the lights went out? Up in the Gym bawling the seniors out? Where were the eats when the lights went out ? Held down by the committee so they couldn’t get out! Where were the Sophs when the lights went out ? Shhh—no one’ll ever find out! BASE BALL GAME 1. Strawberries was in the box. 2. Grosie was on deck. 3. Punch caught a fly. 4. Salad was on 2nd because he stopped to d ress. 5. Cheese melted on 3rd. 6. Orange squeezed to second. 7. Ham was sandwiched between 1st and 2nd. 8. Butter slid to third. HEALTH HINTS Mr. Kirk says: Don’t spit on the floor.
