N. Bass. .gss I could recover from a stinging blast that almost blew me away, he l1ad opened the door. He peered out, and from the look of disappointment that spread over his face, I gleaned that he l1ad found what I knew was there, nothing. t'But not to be denied entrance, I again rapped on the window. This time l could see him rise from his seat with an expression of expectanee on his face and approach my perch where I sat, shivering with eaeh sweep of the wind around the corner of the house. As he threw the window wide I llew in and perceiving an ideal perch, namely. a bust of Pallas, whieh was situated over the door, l proceeded to appropriate it. This sudden move on my part almost overbalanced him, but you will admit that my haste, in view of the eold atmosphere outside, was exeusable. 'tAs soon as he had colleeted his scattered wits, he began shooting' questions at me and from these questions I gathered that he waswaiting for news from some girl called 'Lenore.' But being his guest. and wanting to rest, I resented these queries and resolved to answer as little as possible. 'tAs I am of a poetic nature I selected a word to rhyme with the subject of his questions and every time he asked me anything I answered simply, 'Never- more.' , 'tAt first this only seemed to puzzle him, but finally he became frenzied and extremely enraged. In this condition I feared that he might do me harm, but before I had an opportunity to stop this practice he discontinued the questioning and fell into a deep, moody study. It seemed to be my move now, but l listened to the raging of the cold wind outside and decided to remain. 'tVVhen will I leave? That is what he is probably wondering but I can tell you it will be- HN6V61'I1101'9.H I7 ON STUDIES With Apologies to Bacon Studies is the thinffs what makes bovs dislike school. Studies is what we must D . get when teachers assign lessons. Studies is what makes boys go to bed late at nights beings as how boys have to get studies late after they come home from taking their girls home from the movie. Studies is what Mr. Burton refers to when he says we should not carry more than four subjects. Studies is what makes us get fours on our eards. Studies is what makes us get pink slips to meet Miss McBride. Studies is what makes tests. If it wasn't for studies we wouldn't have no tests. In other words why do we have studies? To make us learn something what we don't want to. Latin for instance. If we didn't have studies we wouldn't have no Latin. Studies is what you ean't make up when Miss Needles or Mr. Pritchard won 't give you an excused admit. Studies is what John Woodmansee is trying to miss when he is late to English class. Studies is the reason men get bald headed. Studies is what makes us have short assemblies. Studies is what made Francis Bacon write an essay about them. Studies is what made me write this essay. East High should not have studies because it spoils the schools. 32
