Whittemore's board addressed to English III class: January 29, 1930 My Dear Children: I deeply-as far down as my chest anyway-regret the inability to add my modulated tones to the volume of raucous notes you daily contribute. Yesterday, in trying to broadcast my voice to Metz and Stewa-rt over the barrage of static in the front row, I strained my larynx fnot to be confused with lynxj. Re- sult-an ailment less familiarly known as the booming bass. To a soprano this means a vaudeville contract, but to a baritone it spells catastrophe. flf you don't see it that way, you probably can't spell.j Thus do I enjoin you, Let Silence Rain. P. S. QAS you seej This is only a ruse to keep you quiet, so let it fool you. Disrespectfully yours, H. C. W. The answer accompanied by a belated Christmas gift for Mr. Whittemore. February 4, 1930 Dear Whitty: We, the BARRAG-E OF STATIC in the front' row, with tears in our eyes, present you with this small bottle of Actylsalicylic for the unmerciful and unceasing agony which we have caused you. It is Schuster's best. It is guaranteed not to make hair grow, take the lustre from false teeth, nor increase the growth of toe-nails. We sincerely hope that this little token of sympathy for your ever irritated throat, caused by our incessant chattering and gabbing, will be used faithfully three times' a day, with a little water. i Nine out of ten use it-eight of ten die. ' Best of luck, Whitty. A Au Revoir, BARRAGE OF STATIC. Is It the Truth? Joe Howell-The only thing I'll ever learn in school is how to be a good Copywriter. Tonic Needed by Parents Miss Brady fdiscussing history marks,-l'd become sick if anyone brought home a report card to me with a. D or F on it. Florence Baedor-My mother gets C sick. To Whom Did She Speak? Mrs. Quinn-You have wasted quite a lot of noise. ' 78
