Popular Songs Washingtonized If I love again It will be a Sophomore That doesn't seem to know no more Than I Than me. I'm fed up with Seniors, Of haughty demeanors. Just give me a Sophy And keep your old lofty. Let's fall in love! It is so convenient When teachers are lenient To do our home work Together. And if we go steady, My lessons'll be ready- No doubt I'll grow heady! You must realize If you're taking Chemistry You'll no doubt use blasphemy. You'll make Hydrogen Sulphide Until you're all pufned ' And smoke gets in your eyes. Take me where the daisies Cover the country lanes Where no soot covers The window panes And only a vague memory remains Of school. You came, I was alone Unprotected, caught unaware Murmuring a prayer I wrote down an answer Thought I would chance her It's not so mystic That I missed it Nor that I iiunked the test.

Look Out For Mr. Lavell: He'll smile, and then either give you a test or a smothering assignment. Miss Tathwellz She'l1 do a sneak-up- on-you act in library and grab you just like that for whispering. Mr. Bonham: He'1l cultivate your acquaintance, and if you fall, he'll have you working for him the rest of your bringing back that library book, and you'll pay and pay. Miss Wilson: She uses a lie detector. Mrs. Green: She'll give you a blue slip, but you'll get in trouble with it. Mr. Estby: He'll embarrass you to death, and fit some awful nickname on you that you'll never be able to shed. Miss Rogers: She'll expect devils to be angels, and black to be white. Washington Fables years. Miss Arie: She'll get you for not FABLE No. I Once upon a time there was a girl named Bertha Schneider. Now Bertha was a very shy little girl, and she was also extremely weak. She could never run about and play like the other chil- dren, and her voice was so sweet and gentle that you could scarcely hear her speak. Well, Bertha grew up to be a big girl, and one day she came to a school called W a s h i n g t o n. There everybody had to take a nasty subject called Health. Poor Bertha was frightened to death of the big bounc- ing balls. She tried to lift one once, and though she grunted and groaned, it was no use. But one day, Bertha had to play in a basketball game. The score was tied, there was one minute to play, and the ball suddenly fell into her hands. And what did little Bertha do? She made a mighty effort, and the ball went straight into the basket. Moral: Bravery is the soul of wit. FABLE No. 2 A, Poor Red Wilson was such a shy boy. He just never could get up the courage to say anything. But when he would go down the hall, he would notice a girl called Martha, because she had that quality he most wished to possess. No matter where she might be, you were always sure to know she was around. Always and forever you could hear her. So one day Red drew a deep breath and asked her to go to the Senior play with him. And what did she do? She looked up into his eyes and murmured, Yes, Red, and from that day to this, he's been the talk of the school one way or another. Moral: Might makes right. ' Fable No. 3 Fable No. 3 is very sad, and as we've heard tears were very bad for High School complexions, the editor has de- cided to omit it. I SOS I had a little radio. It was a tiny thing. But if you hold it to your ear, You ought to hear it sing. One day I took it in toclass, To drive the blues away. . When Mr. Gerwig heard of it, Well, that's enough to say! One Hundred 7'hirLcm
