THE REFLECTOR W'- FUN 84 FEATURES WAYS OF THE WISE To know how kids will turn out just ob. er-ve when they turn in. Most gills hope that when Cupid shoots his arrow he Mrs. them. A girl can be very sweet when she wants. Maybe daisies don't tell, but orchids speak lor themselves. It is better to fall up the study hall steps and give the impression that you are in a hurry to study, than lt is to Iall down and give the impression that you are in a hur-y to get away. A tack on the chair has put many a good man back on his feet. If those big mouths that talk about other peop-le all day long were used in making recitation , there would be more names on the honor roll. It is about as hazd for a rich man to enter heaven as it is for a poor man to remain on earth. Statistics prove that women live longer than men--which goes to show that paint is a good preserver. It isn't too hard to live on a small salary if you don't spend too much money txylng to keep it a secret. Kising a girl nowadays leaves its mark on a man. With the advent of radio the num- ber of unpopular tunes has increased by leaps and bounds. Sorry to say that many a bad egg has gone unbroken. There are only two classes of pede- strians-the quick and the dead. Betty Elliott: Who was Talleyrand? Marilou Nezler: A fan dancer, silly. And cut out the baby talk. Mr. Newton: Bob, tell me what's the difference between the North Pole and the South Pole. Bob Friedman: Shucks, all the differ- ence in the world. After he kissed you three times- then what? Well-then he started getting senti- mental. Mr. Holt: Hurry up with that experi- ment, Phil. Have you dried off that ice cube? Phil Martin: I tried to, but lt was wet all the way through.

ART OF COMPUISING Once upon a day so deary, While I was in English four To my ears came this, Now dearie, You will write or be no more. While I pondered, Weak and weary Over Wozds I had before, I had a thought it came ao clearly, And then did vanish evermore. First my mind would think of English Then I'd glance up at the doorg In came teacher with a swish And the thought would be of yore Can it be that I'm too stupid, Or is teacher just too mean- I don't want to write of Cupid Like the poets I have seen. Like a flash a thought came to me Like a bird on silver wing, Of the sheep herding in the valley, Of a maiden about to sing. To me it seemed so light and lovely, So beautiful, I wanted to shout, The only thing that bothered me How was I going to get it out? -Marjorie Simpson A-CLASS This senior class in Fairfield High Will never be outdoneg I've never seen a bit of work Out of a single one. And what a class, this senior class Of nineteen-forty-two. They've never done a bit of work, I'll bet they never do. They sleep around, then go to class And think up an excuse, And even in our English class They say, Oh, what's the u:e ? This senior class will always rate All through their life, the bestg For energy enough they ll have- They've had their share of rest. -Max Simmons. , Jimmy ICurry: I just shot a dog. Hazel Harris: Was he mad? Jimmy: Well, he wasn't ver Y pleased.
