Milton: Yes, sweetheart--keep- ing up the installment payments on it. Tommy and Jim went into a restaur- ant the other evening and ordered two hard-boiled eggs to take out.

Betty: No, but I noticed them praying before they started eating. Mr. Hendricks was endeavoring to drum into his students the fundamentals of arithmetic. Now, listen, he said rather desperately. ln order to subtract, things have to be of the same denomi- nation.

Please, teacher, said Kenneth, rather timidly, You can take three quarts of milk from two cows. Ted: I'l1 give you a dime for a kiss. Elizabeth: I can make more than that taking castor oil.

Mrs. Hendricks: I would like to know why it is that when- ever I leave the room for a short time and then return I find no one working. Norman: It's because you wear rubber heels, ma'am. My worst sin, Elinor sighed is vanity. I spend hours every day admiring my beauty. That's not vanity, Gladys replied. That's imagination. Larry: Say, Henry, do you know what fairies sit on? Henry: Sure. Fairy tales. Mr. Maddox: How is it that you can't answer any of my ques- tions 'P' ' Barbara: Well if I could, what would be the use of my coming to school?
