Senior Class History As the High School bell rang forth its cheerful welcome on Sep- tember 6, 1920, about fifty promising Freshmen stood well fitted to strug- gle up the “tower of wisdom.” No member could foresee what the ac- complishments of this class would be, but every one at least was going to try the climbing, though there might be knocks and bumps to stand. The first stop that aided our climbing was organizing. We elected Joe Sawyer, President; Alma Baldwin, Vice-President, and Carrie Wise, Secretary and Treasurer. The days of upward striving rolled by, day after day. The star of success was beginning to shine more brightly when May , we ended our career as Freshmen. As our Sophomore year began we were confronted with still more dif- ficult problems. In due time we organized and the real work of the year began. Our social activities began with an entertainment of our class by the Freshmen at the home of Ruby Singleton. At a later date we entertained the Sen- iors at the home of Margaret Colley. Our class contributed five players to the championship team. The year passed as we mingled work with play. As commencement drew near and passed we felt worthy of the name of Juniors. On September 4, we donned the robes of stately Juniors. Our class seemed unable to accomplish the things at first which we knew we could accomplish, but as the days passed we began to see and do things in great style. In the Library drive we came out ahead of all the others. We were also victorious in the sale of Christmas Seals. Many other things were accomplished during the remaining part of the year, among them our class being the first to hand in the Annual material. We had many delightful social affairs also. The 20th of October, Troy Normal played football here and we entertained the two teams at a very successful ban- quet that night. Before the year closed we entertained both the Seniors and the Sophomores. As our Junior year was most successful we natur- ally expected our Senior year to be more so. On September 3, 1923, we began our career as Seniors with great vi- vacity and “pep.” We were now nearing the goal which we had been work- ing to for the last three years. We contributed several players to a championship football team. Every Senior is looking forward to gradu- ating day with great enthusiasm and it is hoped that no one will be left behind. After this date we will launch into the world, each to pursue his own work. Whether we shall be in the sunshine of prosperity or the shadows of adversity, we will always hold as most sacred our associations of the C. C. H. S. —MACK SAWYER. Senior Class Prophecy It was in the glowing twilight of an Indian Summer evening after the duties of another day when I strolled down to the lake and loosed the little canoe from its mooring. I seated myself comfortably and glided noiselessly with the gentle breezes for an hour or more around the lake. The aumun foliage grew in profusion and the leaves blown by the wind drift- ed past me. As each leaf came I gazed in awe and wonder for therein I beheld the future of each Senior of ’24. The great world metropolis comes into view and I see Jim Gunter operating a beauty parlor for the Jellie Beans—Altus Beckham is the cus- tomer. As the next leaf comes I see Mildred Byrd, social leader of the “400” of New York. C. B. Murdock is receiving congratulations on winning the cross coun- try aviator’s race. We fancy C. B. has changed somewhat since school days. Corinne Speigner, wife of a naval officer Lehman Griffin, is social leader in sea coast towns. Next Margaret Colley is giving her special dance in the Auderle Fol- lies. A Redpath Chautauqua Program comes in view and I see that some of the best numbers are to be given by Vyrdie Martin, Reader; Edna Alexander, Soloist; Harry McIntosh and Willie Condrey, Impersonators. Nealon Rainey, Fannie Bell Watkins, Annie L. Feagin and Lola Mae Jones are teachers in the McTyere School for Girls in Shanghai, China. Boyd Beall is now President of the Newton College. We know Boyd is satisfied because he was fond of Newton in High School. Next comes a vision of trees. Eunie Moore is standing in the midst of these. She is proud owner of the largest pecan orchard in the world. Rebecca Simmons, the famous architect of Alabama, is designing a summer home for John D. Rockefeller. Frances Goff, a famous violinist, is now playing for Edison records; she has also appeared in Grand Opera. Fred Baker is electioneering for Mack Sawyer as candidate for next President of the United States. James Little, I see, is just landing at Liverpool, where he goes as United States Ambassador to England. Lorene Ellis, Xenea Ellis, Virginia Cooke, Emma Ruth Mount are incorporated in the famous all-American Beauty Parlor, located in Boston. James Bowdoin is making a fortune in the patent collar button which lights up when it falls. Sterlyn Speigner won the world’s record in auto racing, a speed of two hundred miles an hour. The car is the latest model designed by Louie Manning. The Benton-Hutchinson Laboratory passes on an unusually large leaf. It is located in Boston. A football game is next in view and I recognize Tom Eidson is head coach at Yale. Billie Boyd—imagine our former class mate as Mrs. Lynn Conner, taking in washing for a pastime, and wasting all the chinaware on her sporting husband. Alma Baldwin is United States Senator from Alabama—her advanced views on Woman’s Rights are attracting world-wide attention. Willia Mae Richardson is a famous costume designer and owner of a select establishment for dress making and designing. Dewey Ellis, the same tall, gallant adventurous Dewey, is seeking his fortune in South America. Madame Rumor says Gussie Boyette has an interest in the outcome of this affair. Thelma Martin, Clyde Hundley, Hylton Harrel, Louie Hollis and Louie Manning are found on the editorial staff of the Birmingham News. Next I see Madie Rea Seay and Louise Bass sailing for Brazil where they go to take up their life’s work as Missionaries. Paul Morgan, America’s most famous modern poet is residing at hi.) beautiful summer home “Riverview” on the banks of the Hudson. As the leaf comes by, I see a vision of myself seated in the tent of a noted fortune teller, but I am unable by the movement of her lips to tell what she is saying. —LOUISE COLSON. Last UM and Testament STATE OF ALABAMA, COUNTY OF COFFEE, CITY OF ENTERPRISE. According to the customs of the Coffee County High School, it is both fitting and proper at this time, for the Senior Class of ’24 to dedi- cate such belongings as have been our stumbling stones to those who have faithfully followed our foot steps. Then on the other hand it would be a most gracious act for this stately crew of Seniors not to slight even the dimmest of our antagonizers, the faculty, so, we who have sought for free- dom for years and have thus far succeeded do hereby waive all previous wills, notes or promise and do authorize and declare this to be our last will and testament in the following manner: To our patient and kind-hearted faculty we leave a perfect school with model pupils, who never make any noise going up and down the creaking stairs, keep perfect order in study hall and never scatter paper on the floor. To Miss Graham we leave a chemistry class so well trained they will never make any mistakes, thereby enabling her to control her eyes. To our noted rivals, the Junior Class we leave our room with fixtures therein, along with the many privileges which we have never possessed. To our successors of next year, we will the right to receive and take to heart the many lectures delivered to us daily my Coach Warren and Miss Jacobs on the subject of dignity. To our dear sister class the Sophs, we leave the right to occupy the im- portant place of the proud, conceited Junior Class. To our baby class we will the right to shed their attire of green and take up the duties of silly Sophs. . That is if they don’t imitate Peck Ogletree. To the following students of the school we leave: Boyd Beall’s grin to any one that will have it providing they grin just exactly like him. Madie Rea Seay’s popularity and privilege to fill dates any night dur- ing the week to Annie Mae Williams. C. B. Murdock leaves his ability to play football and make all star tackle to Sam Paschel. To Rebecca Ramsey, Altus Beckham leaves his heart and permision for her to go with any boy she can vamp (that is after he leaves.) Alma Baldwin leaves her erect and natural walk to Ruby Singleton, providing she will change the present one. Louise Colson leaves her style and good looking clothes to Carrie Pierce. Frances Goff and Dewey Ellis leave their ability to sepnd the class money without letting them know a thing about it to Revel Searcy and William Sessions. Paul Hutchison leaves his admirable laugh to Linder Hendrix and hopes he will make ample use of it. Louie Hollis wishes to leave Tom Whigham some of his excess weight and hopes he appreciates the favor. The Senior Class girls bequeath the gum to be found under the desk in our class room to any under-graduate who can’t afford to buy fresh sticks. James Little leaves his extensive and terribe vocabulary to Lorenzo Gunter. Lynn Conner leaves his right to go to Chancellor every week-end to H. V. Jones. The Senior Class, as a whole, wishes to bequeath upon the “little green freshies” a small portion of our brains, hoping that they will make as good use of it as we have done in the past four years. Fannie Belle Watkins leaves her talkative ways, good looks and abil- ity to play a piano to Lavinia Hilliard. Grady Benton wills his beautiful hair and barrels of stacomb to Wil- son Roberson. Grady also leaves his art of combing his hair. Gussie Boyette leaves her “stuck-up” ways and studious ability to Jo- nna Rawls. Billie Boyd leaves the privilege to say anything she sees fit to Ethely- ing Fleming. To Cannie Maddox, Margaret Colley leaves her secret of vamping any new fellow that comes in town, she also leaves her secret of losing them to Bessie Sue Price. We leave Malcolm Mclnnis and Abraham Perlman, Lynn and Sterlyn’s unbreakable test tubes. Lynn Conner asks that his green specks be willed to Sidney Mclnnis in order that he may protect his eyes while observing certain sights on the campus. Lorine Ellis gives her love for all the boys to Frances Stephenson. Nealson Rainey leaves a lip stick a day to Bessie Sue Price. Louise Bass leaves Lois Ogletree her paint and powder because she thinks she needs a little more. We, the Senior Class of ’24, having now completed our high school career, wish to leave behind us some small souvenir, just to show the classes that perhaps; if they work very diligently, they too may graduate some day. So we present and leave this Encoala to them, since as they have seen, we have gotten through, almost anything is possible. They too, will meet stones in their pathways in the form of chemistry notebooks and daily test by Miss Graham, ten minute speeches to be given over every week by Miss Smith and American History by Miss Jacobs. But we beg them to be glad and look to see how many of us escaped alive. In order that they will be of good heart we leave behind us this book to encourage them. In witness whereof, we the Class of ’24, to this last Will and Testa- ment hereunto set our hands and seals this 23rd day of May in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-four.

C. H. S. were swung open September 3, 1923, sixty wide-awake girls and boys rushed eagerly into the halls. It was apparent even to the most casual observer that they were Juniors for what other class in school could boast of such jolly pupils as these? It was also apparent that the “silly sophs” of the previous year had be- come a band of “jolly Juniors.” Miss Griffin became their “guardian angel” and under her able lead- ership they have been able to make a wonderful record. On September 8th they had their first class meeting. There they pledged their loyalty to their teacher and promised her their fullest co- opration. As the days passed and the great wheel of school activities began its rapid revolutions, they found themselves called upon to help furnish the “power” with which to make the wheel move. They entered into all the school activities. First, they sent from their class several football heroes who did much for our school in the way of winning honors. Then, on September 30, they entertained the “wild-cats” and the visit- ing football team from Florala at a banquet. After the supper had been served the student body joined them and helped to welcome the visitors to Enterprise. October 26 will be long remembered for it was on that evening that they bade Elizabeth McNeil farewell. It was with much regret that they gave her up for she had been with them from the Freshman year. Probably the most brilliant event of their Junior year was the “George Washington Ball” which was given in honor of the Seniors. Three-fourths of their high school career is spent. Soon they shall put aside their Junior days as history and try to live up to the true mean- ing of the word Seniors. May they ever be true to the principles that they have stood for as Juniors. —BELA SPEIGNER. A Encoald i The Perfect C. C. H. S. Junior Should tiaue The eyes of Miss Griffin The hair of Maecy Ragland The brains of Joanna Rawls The smile of Minnie Lee Glover The friendliness of Catherine Snellgrove The style of Lavinia Hilliard The athletic ability of Mary Love Martin The sunniness of Robert Sellers The “line” of William Sessions The pep of Garie Smith The artistic ability of Elliott Ellis The musical ability of Joanna Rawls The “girls” of Harvie Jackson The dimples of Paul McRitchie The wit of A.

H IDhat Junior Means J is for jauntiness, jazz and joy; if you are after these three, Juniors ahoy! U is for unity and perhaps for unque for the paths of others we never do seek. N Some say N stands for naughty, not nice, but we hope you won’t listen to such advice. I is for ideas—generally quite brilliant the Juniors have them most by the milliant. 0 is for obstacles we overcome Seniors, Sophomores, Faculty—then some. R is for Revel our president so true, who leads our class for the white and blue. —Selected CThe Sophomore Class Colors: Green and Gold Flower: Cream Rose Motto: “Not at the Top, But Climbing” President .

This being such a large number, the class was divided into two sec- tions, with Miss Lorena Graham and Miss Sarah Somerville as teachers in charge. Our class took much interest in athletics. Two players were contrib- uted to the football squad, and in class football we were school champions. Our knowledge gradually increased and by the thirteenth of May, 1923, we were ready to remove our coats of green, and leave the dear old C. C. H. S. for a three months vacation before beginning our Sophomore year’s work. The year ’23 opened and we pledged our hearts as Sophomores. We were now accustomed to the rules of High School life. As our class had the only “old” teacher, we organized the first school day and prepared to do some real work. Our social career for this year was noticeable. On Friday night, Nov- ember 2, 1923, we enteretained our Sister Class, the Seniors, by giving them a Hallowe’en party at the school house. Every thing was “spooky” and ghost like. A Hallowe’en menu was served at a late hour. On November 9, 1923, both the visiting and local football squads were served supper. The library was decorated with the colors of both the Andalusia High and Coffee County High Schools. An hour later a large portion of the student body joined us and the entertainment was a suc- cess. On November 16, 1923, we gave a play entitled, “Tommy’s Wife.” A large number of people helped us out by attending it. The net proceeds were good. Our Class furnished a large number of boys to the football squad this year, and several made good as Varsity men. Our High School life is but half over, and by the time we are Seniors, the Graduating Class qf ’26 will be a guiding star for all who wish to fol- low good examples. —LOUISE SPEIGNER. t CThe Freshman Class SECTION ONE President - - Eugenia Hagood Vice-President ....

This Society trains the members to speak cor- rectly and to lose their self consciousness. The members also contribute their own talents in music, debates and readings. The Philomathian Society is working hard to win the Loving Cup from the Phi Gamma So- ciety. The Societies are graded each Friday by teachers, already we have surpassed the Phi Gammas by having the most points to our credit. Phi Qama Literary Society The Phi Gamma Literary Society reorganized in the mid- dle of September of the year 1923. This Society is com- posed of the Freshmen and Juniors. The members display their various talents on Friday af- ternoon such as singing, orating, reading, and the play- ing of several musical instruments. The object of this organization is to display the talents of the members and to cause each one to lose his timidity. A rivalry exists between the Phi Gamma Society and Philomathian Society and although the rivalry is friend- ly each Society strives to surpass the other. In the year 1922 the Phi Gamma Society won the Lov- ing Cup and is working hard to keep it during the year 1923. President ...

C. WARREN Coach Warren is without doubt one of the best, if not the best, High School coach in the State. He is an all-Southern man. He made Varsity at Auburn three years. Coach knows how to handle players and get the most out of them. We hope to hear that fa- miliar voice of his say, “Round till I tell you to stop.” We are sure that he will be back next year. COACH FAY CARMICHAEL “Laffy,” The assistant coach and sir ceog- nized as possessing great athletic ability. In 1920, 1921 and 1922, Mr. Carmichael was head coach, knew football from the ground and was a great back field coach. Laffy is very popular with the student body and especially with the scrubs and girls or ladies. We should say we also hope to have him with us next year. Encoa SAM PASCHAL (Lover) Captain and Tackle Playing his third year on the team. Lover showed our opponents what a sure enough football player looked like. Made all-South- ern High School left tackle GRADY BENTON (G-Bent) Tackle and Manager Used on tackle in most of the games and on center, when Hut was injured. Little B. showed a great lighting spirit; was one of the best managers we ever had. i a p BOYD BEALL Right Guard Helped to make the “wildcat” line, one of the steadiest in years. Shouldered his way to the front ranks in the face of brisk com- petition. Was one of our most valuable players on account of his passing ability. Made all State on the State High School team. The Encoald: DEWEY ELLLIS (Fleas) Right End Tom’s running mate—and a good one too. Handles forward passes with facility. (Re- member Troy). He was a vicious tackle. This was his second and last year on the squad. Good luck to you, Dewey. _ JAMES L. BOWDOIN (Goofie) Guard Goofie, a fine specimen of an athlete, grew better each game. He is heavyweight and the opposition always knew he had been there when the battle ended. This is his last year. Watch his playing when he lands in college. TOM EIDSON (“Short”) Left End Short was considered one of, if not the most valuable man on the team. Handled passes well and was a deadly man when it came to piling up end runs. Carried the punting load with great national bility. Watch him in college, also. HARVEY J. JACKSON (“Jack”) Halfback At the beginning of the season Jack had the misfortune of being hurt in a scrim- mage but you can’t keep a good man down. He used his head always and was death on passes. Was mentioned for All-South Ala- bama team. RAUL HUTCHINSON (“Vac”) Center Steady, cool and dependable, was a deadly tackle and played all of every game except where the Subs were used. Hut received four bids for the all-South Alabama team. This was his fourth year on the squad. We bid him farewell with regret. H. V. JONES (Veadv) Fullback Veady possessed a drive that was irresist- ible. No line could offer any defense when he was right. Was also good on end runs and passes. Veady knew how to run interfer- ence and is another good man to keep your eye on next year. QUINTON MILLER (“Quint”) Quarterback One of the flashest little field generals ever seen in High School football; made good gains around either end and was fine on returning punts. (Remember Greenville.) Watch him next year. ie Encodla REVEL SEARCY Halfback This was Revel’s first year c,. the Varsity squad. Played good football always r.nd followed his interference perfectly. Inter- cepted many forward passes and one for a touchdown. Revel will make us a good man next year. We wish him good luck. ALTUS BECKHAM (“Beck”) Right Tackle Although this was his first year on the squad, he very quickly convinced us that he was a fighting one hundred and eighty pounds of bone and muscle. Beck will go great in college circles. iUij, i|J| JOE SLAWSON (“Spark”) Left Half Hack A yearling halfback that rose from the ranks of class football and never faltered. Good on end runs and also on hitting the line. Jce was death on passes. Watch him next year. PAUL MORGAN (“Red”) Fullback Another fullback who contributed largely to the success of the team. A willing and hard worker. Called on frequently and al- ways found ready. This is his last year, but watch him at Louisiana State next year. BH=gB The IRI E McINTOSH (“Mac”) End Irie is a hard worker and death on for- ward passes. He is only a Sophomore and will make a more valuable player next year. Was elected Captain of Sophomore Class team. 'The EncoaldS B Quarterback Although he had little opportunity to show his stuff he was ever ready to step into the breach. A brainy little quarterback and will make a good man next year. ■ RUEBEN ARMOUR (“June”) Halfback June had the misfortune of being hurt in a couple of games but you can’t keep a good man down; was a plucky little fighter who never said much but the opponents always remembered him as that fast little wildcat. JOHN DYE (“Eggs”) Tackle John was used on guard and tackle; was a hard fighter and especially when the side lines were saying, “Come on, John Dye, you got the stuff.” He is going to make a valu- able player next year. Watch him in class football. The . KENNETH GRIMSLEY (Puter) Halfback Kenneth was one of the fastest backfield men to his size in the State. Was out of the game part of the season on account of an injury, but when he did play—well just ask the Union Spring steam. Puter was also a good punter and a sure tackier. The Ijell Boomalacka, Boomalacka, Bow, Wow, Wow! Chickalacka, Chickalacka, Chow. Chow, Chow, Boomalacka, Chickalacka, Sis Boom Bah, Enterprise, Enterprise, Rah! Rah! Rah! The Bncodld m The Football Campaign The first day in school in 1923, thirty-five men came out to the foot- ball field to do their bit toward making Enterprise the proudest town in the State. Sam Paschal (Lover) was elected captain and Grady Benton was elected manager. The next afternoon everybody went to work in dead earnest and in about a week all of the players were wanting to play in a game. But our wise coaches knew better, and it was some while before we had a game. All of the men were getting in fine shape and were watch- ing with eager eyes the list of the players that would get to make the trip to Luverne. The team, composed mostly of Scrubs, left early Friday morning for Luverne. Even though the distance to Luverne was great, a large batch of Enterprise supporters took the trip. The game opened with a bang and we saw that we would not have a walk-away by any means. Luverne made the first touchdown in the third quarter on line bucks and end runs. Some of the Scrubs were called out and Varsity men sent in. Then the tide began to change and in the fourth quarter Enterprise made a touch- down and Tom Eidson kicked goal. This gave us a victory by the narrow margin of 7-6. The results of the Luverne game made us see that we were going to have to hustle and we got right down to work. The next game was with the fast Florala outfit. They came over bringing a large crowd and sure of victory. Enterprise defeated them by a score of 16 to 0. The two touchdowns were made by Kenneth Grimsley and H. V. Jones, respect- ively. The field goal was kicked by Tom Eidson. The outcome of this game raised our hopes until nothing but the State championship could sat- isfy us. The next game was with the Troy Normal outfit. The outcome of this game would not count in regards to our rating as high school cham- pionship, but yet we were determined to win. We went to Troy Thursday afternoon, spent the night, and then went out to the ball park Friday morning. The game started about ten o’clock. The weather was cold, but there were as many Enterprise people there as there were Troy sup- porters. Troy made their touchdown first; then with Jones, Morgan and the whole big team getting right, we showed Troy what a football team was, and in two minutes and forty seconds we went 95 yards for a touchdown. On Friday week Enterprise went to Newton and in the first quarter Enterprise made two touchdowns. The whole scrub team was then sent in and they made two in the second quarter, one in the third quarter, and two in the fourth. Newton made one in the fourth on a fumble. This game was a 43-6 victory. The next week we scheduled a game with Union Springs on Thursday. We went to Union Springs Thursday morning and at 2:30 the game started. There was much bragging with the Union Springs supporters and the game started with a rush. Enterprise made a touchdown in about three minutes, and then the game was a walk-away. The Enterprise substitutes were sent in, in the second quarter and held the Union Springs bunch score- less. The U. H. S. team was the greatest fighting little team that we went up against. The final score was 43-0. Andalusia was next on our schedule and they came over confident of victory. The game started with a rush and Enterprise out- played Andalusia in the first quarter. This was the one in which the touch-down was made by a pass from Beall to Miller. In the second and fourth quarters also Enterprise outplayed them. It was only in the third quarter that Andalusia worried us. The outcome of this game made us more confident of victory . The score was 7 to 0. Dothan had watched the outcome of the Andalusia game with great interest and the kriday after we played Andalusia the Dothan crowd be- gan coming in. The game started with Kirk Newell from Auburn ref- ereeing and Hicks, umpire. This satisfied even the worst Dothan fans and everybody was satisfied. In the first quarter the ball was see-sawed back and torth up the field and in the second quarter Tom Eidson kicked a field goal. This overjoyed the team and in the last quarter a touchdown was made by a pass from Beall to Eidson. On Thanksgiving day the heavy Palmer college outfit came over confi- dent of victory. The game started in the drizzling rain. Enterprise made a touchdown in the first quarter around right end with Jackson carrying the ball. In the second quarter Jackson scored another. The rest of the game the Enterprise boys kept the ball in the Palmer College boys’ terri- tory. The game ended with Enterprise leading by the score of 14-0. The Enterprise boys were told not to break training as we were looking forward to a championship game. We had scored 159 points during the season and our opponents 25. After the Thanksgiving game our practicing increased in regularity and work. We finally scheduled a game with Greenville for the South Alabama honors. The game was to be played in Andalusia on December 7th. Our team went over early on the morning of the seventh and the whole town also just deserted the city for that day. The game started with each team gaining and then losing. In the first quarter little Quint Miller, our faithful quarterback, made a touchdown through the line. This touch- down showed Greenville that they did not even have a chance. But they came back at us in the second quarter and played some mighty good of- fensive ball. The half ended with the score 7-0. In the third quarter Greenville kicked off and Miller returned the ball to the thirty-five yard line. Then Jones made twenty yards through center and Joe Slawson took the ball around the right end for a touchdown. We won the game by the score of 12-0. In this way we closed the greatest football season in our history. We won state honors by elimination. —LYNN CONNER, Sport Editor. Boy's Basketball Team C. C.

A city and a chorus girl, Are much alike ’tis true; A city’s built with out skirts, A chorus girl is too. WHAT DID YOU GET? When I was a baby, I wanted— A lake of milk, a pack of dogs, an automatic rattler, and a license to pull cat’s tail. I got— Castor oil, abominable kisses from admiring old women, continual im- prisonment in a stuffy nursery, and stuck by safety pins. When I was twenty-cne, I wanted— The companionship of a chorus girl whose kisses tasted like greased paint, a job that would allow me time to see all prize fights, a wife who was slender, graceful, and beautifully brunette, like Norma Talmadge; who didn’t care how many nights I played poker, and who could make bis- cuits like “mother used to make.” I got— Jugged ten days for trying to kiss a chorus girl, a job that kept me busy figuring all day and correcting mistakes all night, a wife who was fat and artificially blend, who kept me chained in nights as if I were a wild animal; whose biscuits ran my doctor bill up S3,000 a year. When I was an old man, I wanted— A quiet little cottage by the sea, a good pipe, a library of red-blooded fiction, and immunity from visitors. I got— A county home designed by my wife, week-end house parties with jabbering social fops, worked to death by golf nuts, a library of the works of Elizabethan poets, and a warning from a society physician that I must quit smoking. When I died, I wanted— A quiet, inexpensive funeral and a grave in a country church yard. I got— A S2,000 funeral, presided over by a bored pastor, who was irritated because he was missing a game of golf, attended by a hundred overjoyed relatives mentioned in my will, a grave in a cemetery bounded by a glue factory on one side and a truck highway on the other. He: “Where did you do most of your skating while learning?” She: “I think you are horrid.” Officer: “Not a man in this division will be given liberty this after- Private: Officer: Private: “Give me liberty or death.’ “Who said that?” “Patrick Henry.” Grady at Cafe: “I want some raw oysters.

The sexton looking down lost his hold and began to fall.

I’m awfully sorry we haven’t a whole volume in the house.” Sterlyn and Louie were separating after an evening together when Louie said “au revoir.” “What is that?” asked Sterlyn. “That’s good-bye in French,” replied Louie. “Well,” said Sterlyn, “Carbolic acid.” “What is that?” asked Louie?” “Well, that is good-bye in any language.” Jim and Harry were in business together, while traveling out west Harry took sick and died. The undertaker who took charge of the body wired Jim: “Harry died; can embalm him for fifty dollars or freeze him for twenty-five dollars.” Jim wired back, “Freeze him from the knees up for S15, his legs were frostbitten last winter.” Mother, while unpacking Harvie’s suit case found a pawn ticket hang- ing upon his coat. “Harvie, what is that tag doing on your coat?” Son Harvie: “Oh, I was at a dance, mother, and check my coat.” A moment later she came upon the trousers similarly tagged. With a puzzled look, she inquired: “Harvie, what sort of a dance was that?” Junior: “And how was that liquid I gave you last night?” Senior: “Just right, if it had been any better you couldn’t have given it to me and if it had been any worse it would have killed me.” Baby (crying): “Papa, I wanna drink.” Papa: “Shut up, you little idiot, so do I, but I don’t go around crying about it.” Lynn: “I say, what’s worse than a giraffe with a sore throat?” Billie Boyd: “Easy; a centipede with corns on his feet.” Mr. Snuggs: “Where is my hat?” Mrs. Snuggs: “On the door.” Mr. Snuggs: “On the door, I wonder on what ridiculous thing I shall find it next?” Mrs. Snuggs: “On your head, dear.” Jim Gunter and Louie Manning were on a train telling about their ability to see and hear. Then Jim asked: “Do you see that barn over there on the horizon?” “Yes,” replied Louie. Jim: “Can you see that fly walking around on the roof of that barn?” Louie: “No, but I can hear the shingles crack when he steps on them.” A wise man With true precision, Of a woman— Gave this definition; “A rag. a bone, and a hank of hair.” But woman, Not to be outdone, Defined man In the following sum: “A nag, a drone and a tank of air.” Miss Jacobs: “I wanta’ ticket for Florence.” Ticket Agent (after thinking over railroad guide for 15 minutes ask- ed: “Where in the devil is Florence?” Miss Jacobs: “Over there on the bench.” HThe Encodla rHHKT- Miss Smith: “Is there anything you can do better than anybody else, my boy?” Emory Summersett: “Yes, ma’am I can read my own writing better.” Miss Graham: “Oh, I wish the Lord had made me a man!” Kels Peacock (bashfully): “He did, I’m the man.” Kenneth Grimsley: “May I call you by your first name?” Virginia Cook: “How about your last name?” Willie Mae: “Why does Grady part his hair in the middle?” Frances Goff: “Because every block has its alley.” Wise City Chap: “Say Rube, what kind of cow gives evaporated milk? Rube (not so dumb, either): “A dry cow.” Coach Warren: “Give for one year the number of tons of coal shipped out of the United States.” Lorenzo: “1492. None.” A town May be famous For its beautiful women But— The ice man knows better. Willie Condry: “Gosh, I’m embarrassed, I got a patch in the seat of my pants.” Tom Edison: “Don’t let that bother you. Think how you would feel if the patch wasn’t there.” Coach Warren: “Robert, why are you looking at your watch so often ?” Robert Sellers: “I was afraid that you wouldn’t have time to finish your interesting lecture.” Captain Hicks: “If anything moves you shoot.” Private Ellis: “Yes, sir, and if anything shoots, I move.” While coming back from Montgomery John Dye went to the cafe and ordered two eggs.
