84 EASTERN ECHO E.-tumour! Cn A Beginning ITH this inadequate' title, the Humour Editor betakes it upon himself to introduce the readers to this section of our Echo. The present A business conditions make this section more important than ever. The world is waiting for the break, and in the meantime a good laugh is much in order. Summer is almost here, and with the beginning of new life optimism will again reign. Now to the original theme. Nothing really funny ever happens at Commerce. I attribute this to the superior intelligence of the student body. Cliour bits, pleasej. Such things as cutting perfectly good neckwear from law-abiding students' necks, and then boasting about it are not funny, even though the tie does give the wearer the general appearance of a gigolo, and costs less than a dollar. Everyone in 4G had a good laugh when Chalykoff mistook Chloride gas for smelling-salts. Rod still insists that he saw nothing humorous in the incident. Many of the questions submitted to the Question Box Editor are not funny. In all probability the answers will be the same. Many of the answers to mid-year exams. were humorous, but the returns dampened the enthusiasm they created. 1 lt you're having as much fun reading this as I am having in writing it, I advise you to skip the rest and get right into the jokes. In fact, I don't think Iill write any more, because, after all, there is a limit to what the public will stand. just one more thing-many of the best jokes could not be published, but you can see them running around the halls. fl. Have you heard the latest news on the Rialto? It is rumoured that they have slashed the prices of razor blades. Rogers- Have you heard that Shylock is wealthy again ? McDermott- Yes, he's been selling a book on how to lose liesh ! FOR FUTURE REFERENCE To all our teachers straight and fine, VVe send this little one-inch rhyme, We know that welcanit all be sharks, But how about a few more marks? HOW COULD YOU! Some of our teachers are so fond of reciting, Especially those who do elegant writing. They had better watch out when they elaborate thus For the cruel, sweeping cuts of Daddy Brent's brush.
