Mr. Peterson; What ancient ruler played the fiddle while Rome was burning?” Louise Y.: Was it Hector?” Mr. Peterson: No, not Hector.” Louise Y.: Then it was Duke.” Mr. Peterson; Duke? What do you mean?” Louise Y.: Well, then, it must have been Nero. I knew it was somebody with a dog’s name.” Judge: Speeding, eh? How many times have you been before me?” Billie L.: Never, your Honor. I’ve tried to pass you on the road once or twice, but my car will only do fifty-five.” Mr. Tart: Charles, what is steam?” Charles D.: Water that’s crazy with heat.” Miss Sasser: Shirley, define ’nose’.” Shirley M.; A part of the body that shines, snubs, snoops, and sneezes.” Bonnie H.: Well, since you ask, what is the difference between a sewing machine and a kiss?” Alma S.: One sews seams nice, and the other seems so nice.” Mrs. Edmundson; Marie, what do you mean by feeding the baby yeast?” Marie E.: She swallowed my nickel, and I’m trying to raise the dough.” Wilhelmina C.; You should eat your spinach, Marie. It will put color in your cheeks.” Marie B.: Who wants green cheeks, anyway?” If upon your face appears one smile, I’ll consider my work worth while. Barbara Ruth Bartlett

flumci Pi aae Earl L.: Barbara, what are you doing on the ground?” Barbara B.: I tried walking on the sidewalk with Mr. Robinson, and this is what happened.” Ann S.: George, why aren’t you insured this year?” George Y.: Well, Pa thought it over and decided he’d rather take a chance on losing me than to be sure of losing seventy-five cents.” Mrs. Jones: What? My husband kissing that teacher! I am surprised.” Mr. Jones: No, my dear, I am surprised. You are astonished.” Mrs. Martin: Do you think your son will forget what he will learn in college?” Mr. Davis: I hope so. He can’t make a living courting.” Mr. Robinson: So you admit that this unfortunate freshman was carried to the fishpond and drenched. What part did you take in this disgraceful affair?” Melvin S.: The right leg, sir.” Christine L.: Here’s an ash tray.” Douglas M.: Thanks, but the floor isn’t full yet.” Harlow P.: Mary Daily, I understand that it was you who broke the windowpane.” Mary D. M.: Yes, Harlow, I am the one who broke it.” Harlow P.: But why?” Mary D. M.: I threw a brick at Billy Bartlett and he ducked.” Charles B.: What did you think of that ventriloquist last night?” Billie B.: Oh, I didn’t think he was so hot, but that little fellow on his knees was awfully funny.” Ruth H.: I wonder if it’s five o’clock yet?” Betty B.: Why?” Ruth H.: Because I’m supposed to be home at five, and I’m not there yet.” Muriel W.: Gladys, have you lived in Wayne County all your life?” Gladys D.: Nor yet.” Velva P.: ' Why do they call our language the mother tongue?” Jimmy W.: Because the father so seldom gets a chance to use it.”

Class PiopLecxj Looking into the future of the Class of 1952, the magic curtain is parting, the fog is lifting, and now I can see the fate of my classmates — It is 1958 and I can see Charles Davis, a doctor, curing a girl who has had hiccoughs for fifty-nine days. Bonnie Howell, his nurse, is assisting him. Flash! Latest news is Miss Mary Daily Morris and Mr. Earl Lancaster are happily married and spending their honeymoon at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. Betty Bradshaw is directing a swimming class at White Lake and we hear that the new M.G.M. director, Melvin Sauls, has spotted her for a replacement of Muriel WiUiford. Down at Carolina Beach, you’ll find a cool little vacation spot operated by the former Shirley Murray and her better half, Jimmy Winders. Barbara Bartlett is a typing teacher now. She is a graduate of Mr. Robinson’s instruction. Referee George Yelverton is ill from effects of pop bottles he met when calling the Eureka-Fremont basketball game. In Stantonsburg, I see Mrs. Willie Mozingo, formerly Wilhelmina Chase, and her three-year-old twins, Tillie and Willie. BiUy Langston and Charles Boyette have been given credit for capturing more stills in Wayne County than all other deputies combined. Captain Billy Bartlett is home on leave from Army Service. Velva Pender and Gladys Darden have completed their course as air stewardesses with the South-Eastern Air Line. A school teacher’s life is not a holiday, say Ann Sauls, Christine Lewis, Louise Yelverton, and Mane Edmundson. Soon bells other than school bells for them! Ruth Hamm is owner and operator of a chain of clothi ng stores patronized by Marie Barnette, Harlow Pender, and Alma Sauls, three of our better housewives. Mary Daily Morris
