A great personality left our midst on November 11, 1939, but his works and influence live on in Grove City High school ..... Mr. Lehn was a man with more exalted ideals than most of us. When we discussed our problems with him, he proved to be able and willing to understand each side, and to make a liberal decision ..... He made sacrifices which were known, and he made sacrifices which were un- known, except to a few of us ..... He possessed a great tolerance which showed itself in respect for the per- sonality and opinion.s of others. He was our friend, fair and impartial. To teachers and students he was as a father, earning their love and veneration. Most of us have reason to be grateful that he so often tempered ju.stice with mercy. ..... He was devoted to his family, his profession, his community, his country, and his God . . . . . . Perhaps his most endearing qualities were his unselfishness, his sincerity, his modesty, his self-effacing conduct, and that great kindliness and understanding which would not allow him to wound anyone unneces- sarily. Because he was above any form of pettiness, we were lifted above it also. ,444 He possessed the happy faculty of being able, without resort to nagging and exhortation, to inspire his co-workers to put forth their best efforts, to make them ashamed of any unworthy motive or act, to cause them to place service a b o v e remuneration. His interest in the students' extra-curricular activities-sports, contests, programs-was not with him merely a matter of duty. One had but to watch his face or to hear his comments to know that he took a keen enjoyment in them. He loved nature, he had a real appreciation of the beautiful 5 and the musical ability of many young citizens of Grove City is an enduring monument to his love for good music ..... Mr. Lehn was recognized throughout Pennsylvania for his work in the music-forensic field ..... He brought no flimsy, temporal growth to our school .system. He brought substantial, well-organized results which will serve as foundations upon which we can continue to build ..... His life was, and will remain, an inspiration to every one of us, to teachers and students alike-and so, to his memory ...... We Respectfully and Proudly Declicate this Book W5- 1 l - BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION.. . A REVIEW OF LIFE AT GROVE CITY HIGH SCHOOL May We present the 1940 Pine Knot and a bit of life at Grove City High school? ...... We have tried to give you a cross-section of your school career-a picture which Will enable you to retain vivid recollections of these, your happiest years ..... We present, first the faculty and admin- istration, then the .seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen-an in- dividual picture -of each, then the clubs and music organizations, the Pine Knot and Grover Star staffs, the athletic life of our school, and, finally, our mid-vvay section, spon- sored by merchants and business houses of the community. It is this section, folks, and the funds derived from it, that enables us to give you a book which costs considerably more than the purchase price ..... The en- tire yearbook is interspersed With as many casual photographs as our funds would permit ..... The Work that has gone into it is not compre- hended by most people. All members of the staff have Worked diligently in order that We might produce as fine an annual as possible under existing circumstances. A few of us have given, during the past school term, more time to the Pine Knot than to any other activity or type of Work . . . . . But handicaps Were encount- ered, trouble was met-so, perhaps We have made mistakes ..... Being vvvvvsavvvvvvvsaaafvvyavl only human, we know that we are not infallible ..... We will be amply rewarded, however, for an entire year's work, if we see some favorable reactions as you glance through your Pine Knots ..... We have persevered, and have given you everything we possibly could with the funds and means available ..... May we hope that our efforts have not been in vain! Sincerely, C5776 Staff DR. H. W.

With regrets and sad lamentations, we present you our good times, parties, socials, games, and sports, and our dances. But to you, the future upper- classmen, we give with much misgiving, a winning basketball team, and hope with all our hearts it will come true. You juniors also have record football and track teams with which to pep up, and do not forget the wrestlers. We wish to thank you for your help and interest, during this last year, in our activities. We desire to thank and praise the teachers for their coopera- tion and advice during the past four years in times of need. The Senior class presents to you the Pine Knot of ,4I, which we hope you appreciate as we have the Pine Knot of 1940. We ask you not to forget the Grover Star, and to support it in the coming year as it has been supported this year. We, the Senior class, give you, lastly, the hope that our nearest classmen will well enjoy their high school days as we have enjoyed ours. And now, some of our class wish to present personal things to mem- bers of the class of '41: Jeanne Carruthers presents Edie Scrivner with a portion of her pep. Miff McBride leaves some of his brains QD to Gordon Evens. Gerry Lou Black leaves the blue of her eyes to Martha O'Neil. jimmy Richardson leaves his dancing feet to Ozzie Blanchard. Barbara Brown leaves the blonde of her hair to Norma Gilliland. Tommy Braine leaves his wrestling ability to jerry Spence, who ought to be pretty good, now. It would really be news if Doris left Bill, or Betsy left Reed. But that's out of the question! And we suppose it would be too much to ask Sheldon Enke to leave his vile pipe, though maybe it's just as well hels taking it with him. i36-,.- C?J GIRL'S POPULAR-ITY CONTEST CPD CTo be swallowed with three grains of salt, dissolved in one half glass of ginger ale.j Prettiest Hands .,...,..,.

In the building of character, personality, and citizenship few things surpass our extra-curricular work. Small projects which interest only a. few students, and activities which sweep large numbers of us with them-all are necessary to the complete development of wholesome boys and- girls-of worthwhile men and women. iviti Q e S O O O .39... Tribute to CHARLES STEVENSON GEORGINE MILLSOP Let us pause a moment to pay tribute to two of our fellow classmen who departed from us before they had finished the task they had set out to do. Many of us remember Charles Steven- son since we started to school. We remem- ber his brilliant record which was terminat- - ed after we had elected him treasurer of the senior class and president of the Student Council. But we are not the only ones to miss Chuck, because he was a member of the Methodist Church and a prominent lead- er of the Boy Scouts. Georgine Millsop, a girl to whom we all paid tribute, died on March 23, 1940. She was a member of the United Presbyterian Church and a member of the Girl Scouts. Georgine started to school at Grove City but later moved to Mount Vernon, Ohio, where she completed grammar school. Re- turning to Grove City, she was able to at- tend only a few weeks of school, due to a serious illness. She will be missed greatly by her class- mates. .-.41-. .-14 500+-+ZCIC-1 P-'PGH +-+5211 Kg .

Have they ever got looks and umph, too! We didn't know they made them that pretty! These girls sold pop at the carnival to make money, and if the number of people we saw drinking pop has anything to do with it, they must have made a fortune. We're sure you've never seen a more thrifty and industrious bunch than these. Under the able guidance of our school li- brarian, Miss Boyce, these girls have succeeded in making their club a very interesting and useful one. They spent much precious time when they could have been having fun, making stuffed animals for poor children at Christmas time. Not only do they help Santa in times of need, but also they are always willing to help usher at school activities or to help take care of out-of- at our contests. remember how the senior girls in- new members last year? The junior like circus clowns for a few days. town guests Do you itiated their girls looked Their hair was pulled straight back and tied with big, conspicuous ribbons. That was certainly a blow to most of their coiffures. On top of that, they had to come to school with make-up on one side of their faces and every other fingernail painted in bright nail enamel. HI-Y Yes, fellows, all in all, these girls have got what it takes.

CSince the Hi-Y was not organized until the second semester, we regret that we are unable to present a picture of that club. Nevertheless, we are glad we have a Hi-Y club and admire its work.J 1431 UUCFO FUOZPTP-4OU2 UUCFO 41'?UI3P?UE11+i'-'CH SCIENCE CLUB Yes sir, you can tell it by looking at them! Can't you see that they're scientifically minded? Of course they should be, as they do form the Science club. Under the able direction of Mr. Nutt and Mr. Surrena. these boys and girls made their club one of the most up-and-coming organi- zations in the school. Each Wednesday evening they learn something new about science. Every member must put on a program of some sort, anything from a question bee to some experi- ment that may blow up the building. However, under the careful supervision of Mr. Nutt and Mr. Surrena, good old G.C.H.S. is still standing. No doubt many of the members will turn out to be second Einsteins. Remember the swell movies you've seen in chapel and the full-length fea- ture we had one morning ?All that would have been impossible if it weren't for the Science club. Every fall those industrious members sell tickets for the annual lyceum course sponsored by the Kiwanis club, and are they salesmen! You probably know from experience that when one of them starts his sales talk, you might just as well give up, he'll talk you into buying one, no matter what you want to do. It pays to have such salesmen in a club, we guess, as their treasury is always above par. Hats off to the Science club.

LITERARY CLUB You fellows and girls can go in couples to our industrious Literary club, for, you see, both males and females can take part in the most in- teresting organization. This group really gets things done, too. It is only two years old, but in its short existence it has made a name for itself as one of the most popular clubs in the school. Under the excellent direction of Miss Boyce, there are interesting book reports, given by the members, to keep them in touch with the better class of books. But you musn't think that these literary-minded boys and girls think of nothing but literary affairs. No, indeed! They have plan- and social club spon- ned any number of unusual parties affairs. At our annual carnival the sored a date-bureau in which anyone who wished to do so could place his name and it would be matched with someone else's name, with whom he was to have a date. Needless to say, this met with the approval of all and was a howling success. It also gave much help to the love-lorn. This industrious group of boys and girls sponsored a ''more-books-for-the-library'' cam- paign. The object of this campaign was to have any student who had any type of good books which he has read and thought others might en- ..45-. joy reading, contribute them to our school libra- ry. This generous gesture on the part of the Literary club indeed shows the kind of boys and girls that we have in Grove City High school.

HZHUGHm FHQZCOQ FHQZC00 QHemrmep STUDENT COUNCIL Remember the carnival, kids? That's where we all had such a good time last fall. If it hadnit been for this swell bunch of boys and girls we wouldn't have had any carnival, be- cause, you see, the Student Council sponsors this elaborate affairg and we may add-it always does a very good job of it, too. The carnival, besides being loads of fun for everybody, offers an opportunity for everyone to get acquainted with everyone else. So, we think we really owe a debt of gratitude to the council for its many successful carnivals. Now, don't misunderstand us, the carnival is by no means the only thing sponsored by the council. No, indeed! Those people sponsor dances and socials, and many other events, besides acting as a medium be- tween the students and the administration. Their chief job is to solve the problems of the student body. And these are difficult. An example of the type of problem tackled by the Student Council is t'How to keep the halls from being jammed, which is indeed a problem in Grove City High school. Yes, our Student Council is indeed one of which to be proud. It is made up of members from each class, typical students who carry the desires of the student body to their meetings. Under their able adviser, Mr. Crowther, they have served us very well. Theirs is indeed an organization to be proud of and admired in the successful way it has carried on its duties in the past and the way it will continue to do so in the future.

They have more than looks, for we assure you, they are experts in nearly every sport known to man or beast. Under the supervision of Mrs. Hay, they conduct Hriproaringw meetings where they often indulge in Various sports. As a result of the practice this gives them, these talented young ladies play super-colossal basketball! Why, they can beat any team which dares to challenge their excellent teamwork. We mustn't omit their vol- lyball and ring tennis, either. No, indeed. They are fully as good in these as they are in basket- ball, and that's saying a lot. Besides, they go roller-skating, swimming, and needless to say, they do justice to both of these sports, too, and believe it or not, they play football! Yes sir, real honest-to-goodness football. You would never think it to look at them, but they do, and they're good at it. Of course, it is only on rare occasions that we see them playing football, but when they do, they go right after it just like anything else they tackle. How about more football games for the students, girls? Perhaps their pet diversion is dancing, and are they jitterbugs? No wonder. They not only dance with each other at their meetings, but they sponsor dances for the school, too. Say, kids, remember the grab-bag at the carnival? That was the result of the tireless efforts of the Athletic Council. We'd like more grab-bags, girls, at future carnivals!

As a friend of the late Mr. Lehn, Dr. Traister was acquainted slightly with local methods, and he has a high opinion of our present school system. Of course, there will be a few minor changes neces- sary later. Dr. Traister believes in social activities for the students and wants high school life to be a pleasant experience for everyone.

The game marked the first Grover victory 'after defeats at the hands of Erie Strong Vincent and Bradford. The running of Jack Craft and Glenn Dickson featured the Grove City offense which smashed over three touchdowns.

E57- Tours Are Planned By Senior Teachers For Different Groups A senior's life at the end of the school term is crowded with num- erous activities, foremost among which are the senior tours. The democracy classes are plan- ning to visit Polk Institute and the Boyd and Frank Furniture Com- pany in Franklin. Miss Leona Tag- gart and Miss Eleanor Barnes will conduct these tours. Miss Eleanor Lewis is planning a tour through many of the larger department stores in Pittsburgh for the home economics classg and Mr. Johnson is expecting to tour the Pittsburgh Press with the sen- ior journalism class, besides tak- ing in radio station KDKA, the Heinz plant, the museum, the con- servatory, the Buhl planetarium, and other interesting places. Dates for these tours have not as yet been selected, but they will be made in the early part of May. The Star Staff A product of much and very fine work, the Grover Star projected itself into our high school life at the beginning of this year. Ori- ginating in the senior journalism class, it expanded during the second semester when the junior journalists began to collaborate in editing it. In the library, it being the center of all this diligent work, at most any time Cbut usu- ally after schoolj one can find the staff at paper-littered tables, busily engaged in vari- ous phases of newspaper life. After school, on the evenings of the week in which the paper is published, quite a few of the staff miss their suppers. On Monday evenings, the library is the scene of copy- reading, and until Helen Kaufman and June Winder return from their ad collecting, it is usually a quiet, serene scene. But with their arrival, heckling, teasing, and a general noise session usually starts. Tom Blakley starts his daily lecture on those dumb girls g Lois Mary gets that dreamy look in her eyesg Mary Ruth begins to giggle, and even the quiet Betty Mossford, Edna Wilkins, and Mary Snyder are aroused. This goes on un- til Mr. Johnson comes back from faculty meeting. Then ..... Tuesday night is the night for head-line writing and the drawing-up of the adver- tisements-with Tom and Helen both talk- ing to themselves, and Mr. johnson tearing his hair because so-and-so hasn't gotten his or her news written up yet. The room is comparatively quiet Cexcept when Tom tries to make Helen keep quiet and a little argu- ment results which Mr. Johnson quickly ends!J Nevertheless peace reigns and again the families don't wait supper for them. Wednesday night is really the worst night of the week. This is easily understood when you learn that Lois Mary Peden, Bette Mossford, Helen Kaufman, and Mr. John- son are proof-reading. Between laughing at the jokes, the dirt column, or other items of interest, they are kept busy for a while. Thursday night the newspapers are counted out for each room, and placed in piles on a table. Under the direction and oversight of Mr. Johnson Cwith Bill Dunk- erley putting in his two cents worthj this job is accomplished in relatively quick time. Friday morning brings on a scene of staff members running to and fro between rooms, delivering papers where they should go. Howdy Rust, with a couple of helpers, sees that the advertisers and town subscrib- ers receive their copies. After school the members of the staff just throw themselves into the chairs, resting after a hectic week, and content just to look at each other with an air of having completed a very huge task. The typists, Anne Marie Falcon, Eliza- beth Gregory, and Virginia Rodgers are worn out, and they claim that their fingers continue to type even while asleep Cwefre surprised that they even get to sleep!j. The gossip columnists, mainly Jack Blakley, Lizzie Gregory, and Gordon Evens, maintain that they hear rumors and whispers everywhere - - - - even when they're alone! Bud Millsop and Joe Todarello, sports writers, tell us that they know every football game, bas- ketball game, and wrestling match, backward and forward! And that isnft all!!! The members of the junior journalism class allege that Mr. johnson wears both himself and them to a frazzle, making them get their assignments in on time. No, it's no picnic ---- it really takes a lot of work to publish a newspaper. Mean- while, the experience and fun makes it seem worthwhile. So, something new to us has come into our school life and has taken up a regular place in the activities and regulations ---- somethfng which we hope will continue for a long time to come. Thus we welcome an en- tirely fresh project and bid adieu to the charter members of the staff, including Jessie Miller, Ruth Orr, and Alvera Meier, who were not on the staff this last semester. VVe turn our duties over to the juniors and wish them the best of luck ---- and newspapers! THE PICTURE Mary Howard Bud Lois Mary Tom Helen B.

She is to go to Hollywood to take part in a picture, this being the prize offered. Rita Lupa, Hollywood star, is passing through Hopetown, Maine, and Bob Wilcox, writer of the song Irene sang in the contest, tells Rita of his and Irene's screen ambition. Debby, Bob's younger sister, also has ambitions of becom- ing a star. In Hollywood, Irene fares badly because of Rita Lupa's jealousy. Rita forces her husband, who is chief director of Goldenrod studios, to keep Irene in the extras. Meanwhile, Debby has run away from home to become a star. She makes friends with a young extra, Marty Williams. Uncle Abner appears on the scene and makes friends with Goldenrod him- self, and gets a second tryout for Irene, from which she emerges victorious. Hannah, Abner's comical fiancey, comes to keep an eye on Abner. Irene and Bob suddenly discover their love for each other. Goldenrod is enthusiastic about Irene, and announces his intention to screen a picture in Hopetown, Maine, to be called Uncle Abner - - - all the Hopetown friends are to be included in the cast.

The breaks of this game fell Erie's way, for they scored on a block- ed kick and several long passes. The next week the Grovers met the Brad- ford powerhouse and fought their hardest to stop it, but in vain, for it rolled to an easy vic- tory. Two defeats in a row predicted a poor sea- son, but the Purple and Gold came back strong to win its first game by drubbing Oil City. lt was Grove City's ball game all the way with the Oilers playing in their own territory the whole time. A heart-breaking referee's decision which gave Alliance a touchdown with less than a minute to play till half-time seemed to take the pep out of the Grovers and the Ohio team swept on to victory in the second half. The next victory of the season came when Grove City soundly trounced Union Township. The reserves saw much action in this game after the first team had rolled up the score. The next week was spent in intense practice for the Homecoming game with the old rivals! Sharon. Inspired by the big pep meeting the night before, Coach Hartman's Iron-men took the field against the mighty undefeated Tigers and battled them to a scoreless tie. Only twice did Sharon threaten to score, but each time the Grover line held. Dickson's booming punts kept the Orange and Black boys deep in their own territory most of the game. This was a great moral victory for Grove City and will long be remembered. On the following week-end a scrappy Green- ville team held the slightly overconfident Purple and Gold to a scoreless tie. Four times the Grovers knocked on the Trojans' touchdown door, and each time they were repulsed. But on the next Saturday, during a snow storm, the Grove City backs tore the Franklin line to shreds as they romped to their easiest victory of the season. Sharpsville's famed passing attack had the grovers quite scared before the Blue Devils fin- ally went down to defeat. Dickson's two extra points made the only margin of victory. When the final game of the season with New Castle rolled around, the graduating seniors were anxious to win their last game for G.C.H.S., and they put up a great fight, but two long touchdown runs in a driving rain gave New Castle the victory. ..+ -Y If, by chance, some of you readers haven't heard of the Phovas, they were an independent basketball team made up of several of our high school seniors. In their recent season, the Phovas won eleven games and lost only five. During these contests they rolled up 670 points to their oppon- ents' 468. Many teams in this district were downed by them, including the Sandy Lake Merchants, Red Hurri- canes, Epsilon Pi, and Panther Cubs. The following seniors were mem- bers of the Phovas: Ken Book, Glenn Jacobs, Fred Black, Bill Monks, Joe Ziccardi, and Tom Blakley. Mr. Forker ran off another six- man football schedule among his gym classes this year. The champion- ship of the heavyweight league was won by the Tigers, who were led by their captains, Tom Braine and George Stubbs. It was a tight race all the way, with the Dodgers, Indians, and Giants following close behind. The all-star teams were selected by Tom Blakley of the Reporter- Herald. Heavyweight all-stars: L.E.-Bill Manny - - CGiants5 C. -Bob Bovard - fTigersJ R.E.-George Stubbs - - fTigersJ Q.B.4Bud Millsop - QGiants3 H.B.-Dean Foster - - flndiansj F.B.-Ralph Davis - - CDodgersJ Bill Manny was chosen the outstanding lineman and Bud Millsop, the outstand- ing back. The Panthers were led by their captain, Dick Albright, to the cham- pionship of the intermediate league, and the Tartans, captained by John- son and Antill, were the easy winners of the minor league crown. These two teams battled to a 6-6 tie in a play-off game. The members were: PANTHERS TAARTANS E. -Barger Hoagland C. -Engstrom Johnson E. -Dunrnire Antill I-I.B.-Dickson King F.B.-Albright Mathieson QB.-Alberth McKinnon WRESTLING STATE MEET Little Steve D'Augustine came through with flying colors in the state meet to become Grove City High school's first state wrestling champ as he won the 95-lb. crown. Spence and Wolfe were defeated in the semi-final round, while Braine and Huff lost in the preliminary bouts. This is the best that Grove City has ever done in a state meet.

Bovard BASKETBALL Another unsuccessful season for the Grove City basketball team. Lady Luck failed to be with the Grovers in most of their games as they lost many of them by close margins. However, they broke their famed 22--game losing streak about mid-season by defeating Titusville. Two poor seasons in a row strongly prove that an assistant coach is needed to help Mr. Hartman in his coaching duties. Nearly all the class A schools in this district have a coaching staff of at least two. Grove City is one of the exceptions. We hope that something can be done about this and that Grove City will have better basketball teams in the future.

They lost two of these, to New Castle and Meadville by close scores. The third meet was with Sharpsville and the Grovers de- feated the Blue Devils by an easy margin. COUNTY MEET Grove City won the county track meet last year for the second consecutive year by defeat- ing Sharpsville and Greenville. The Grovers finished in front by a large margin, with Sharps- ville placing second. DISTRICT MEET Only a few Grove City men were entered in the district meet which was held at Erie.

Howard was carrying a large kettle on his back, holding a chicken in one hand, a cane in the other, and leading a goat. They came to a dark ravine. Said she: 'Tm afraid to walk here with you. You might try to kiss me. Said he: How could I, with all these things to carry? Said she: Well, you might stick the cane in the ground, tie the goat to it, and put the chicken under the kettle.

The following are taken from the Koran: No burdened soul shall bear the burdens of others. Man shall have only what he strives for. What! You teach others to be virtuous and for- get yourself! Avoid major sin and your minor sins shall be forgiven. Let not the hatred of any people deviate you from justice. Judge rightly, this is nearest to fearing of God. Keep your promises. He's as good looking as Robert Taylor and Clark Gable. He's a three-letter man in sports. He's prominent in every extra-curricular ac- tivity. He's valedictorian of his class. He's what the girls' hearts throb over. Hels kind, discreet, always pleasant and amiable. He doesn't smoke or neck. Who is he? He's the invisible student, and incidentally, never has been seen around any high school. Why is a shipload of bananas like gasoline? Because they make a cargo. If little Billy has a spell, Use sulfanilamideg If it's just his feet that swell, Use sulfanilamide. If his liver seems to quit, There's no need to have a fit, What you need to make him well, Use sulfanilamide. If your patient cannot study, Use sulfanilamide. If his cheeks are too ruddy, Use sulfanilamide. If he's bothered by the hives, On Streptococcus thrives, Don't you fret, just busily Use sulfanilamide. If you find she has B.O., Use sulfanilamide. , If her B.M.R. is low, Use sulfanilamide. If you've fallen down on knowledge You don't need to go to college, If there's anything you don't know, Use sulfanilamide. Time is passing, I'm not glad, Time is passing I am sadg Time is passing, Sad is my lot, Time is passing, I am not. v A Beside the sea a mountain stood, And on that mount, rose monstrous tall, A morbid castle, dark and dank, Surrounded by a slimy wall. The breakers roared a deathly knell To any ship that came within The shadow of that ghoulish haunt From whence came voices - wail- ing - thin. A lonely tower stood starkly out, And pierced the gloom with green- ish shroud That issued from the chinks and cracks, With which the walls were full endowed. A horrid screeching rent the air, That made the blood run cold, Still more: A mangled body hurtled down, And crashed against the rocky floor. One breath of life was left therein To counsel man against such gore, My brother, if you eat too much, Just cut it out-and dream no more! -J. ,-74.. I have a chemistry teacher, I shall not pass. He maketh me To show my ignorance Before the whole class. He giveth me more than I can learn, He lowereth my grades. Yea, though I walk Through the valley of knowledge, I do not learn.

Then i cud take mie gurl. i got out two apples, wun for me to eat wile wurking' and' wun for Samule. i fixed the apple an lade it down beside mine, then the dorebel rang.

The I1L'SlQ step to being popu- lar is never to be conservatlve in dress. .Wear clothes with scream- ing color combinations. LilI'lS Wear snort skirts, the shorter tne bet- ter. Boys wear IOHQ checked ties, pants, and D3.F1'eu coats. 'rhat is, when you wear coats, but don't let anyone bully you into it if you dont want to wear a coat. vvny be old-fashioned and wear comfortable clothes 'I Be modern. vvny wear long hose when anklets look so cute 'I Why wear your hair like other peoples? Create your own style and tnerl fisil for com- pliments on it. Always stick up for your rights. If the crowd wants to uo some- thing and you don't, don't give in. Also, don't be quiet like other people, be the life of the party. riostesses love it. 'rhrow the cush- ions around, didn't you come to have fun? The more noise you can make the better! If you bump into someone give him a dirty look, he shouldnt have been in your way. Boys, get out your cigarettes and smoke up the room, it creates such a healthy atmosphere, and the girls will think you're so-o-o big! Girls, when the boyfriend takes you out, flirt with all the other fellows and show him how popular your are. And don't for heaven's sake, forget to tell him about all your other dates. They 'love' it! lt makes things so interesting! Maybe he'll take you out again sometime, maybe. Follow these rules and were sure you'1l be popular, at least for a while. Look around and see who's popular around here. HOW TO KEEP FROM GETTING OLD There are any number of ways to keep from getting old. One good way is to go around touch- ing all the electric wires you can find. Another is to go ice-skating in November, or to eat a chicken dinner and immediately go swim- ming in fifteen feet of water or so. But if these two ideas donlt work, try eating your girl's first cake, walking across streets with your eyes closed, taking your medicine in the dark, or try driv- ing at night without lights on a strange road. Or-one guaranteed way, tell a woman she's getting fat. But, on second thought, maybe you'd better just commit suicide. ,Lg2-..- ASSIGNMENTS Did you ever hear how John Wilson gets his assignment? Why, even when he was little he got his homework-honestly or otherwise. One day when he was in fourth grade, he went into a neighbor- hood grocery store and cordially greeted the grocer. The grocer re- turned the greeting, and regarded him uninterestedly until John said, How much would five pounds of butter at thirty cents a pound, three dozen eggs at twenty cents a dozen, two pounds of hamburg at twenty five cents a pound, and one quart of ice cream at twenty- nine cents cost ?l' The grocer wrinkled his fore- head, scratched his head, grunted and finally said, That will be two dollars and eighty-nine cents. Do you want them delivered or will you take them? Neither, said John. That's my arithmetic for tomorrow and I wanted to make sure of the answer. She doesn't swear, She never flirts, She doesn't wear Those shortened skirts. She doesn't dance, She doesn't sing, And guys in pants Don't mean a thing. She doesn't coo, She doesn't pet, 'Cause she doesn't know how To do that yet. She never chews, She never laughs, But she doesn't refuse To show her calves. You ask her name, Well, that's a wow, She ain't a dame- She's just a cow. Hey, you guys. Where are you carrying that fellow? Has he fainted? Noi, Sick, maybe ? UNO H 'tOh, just a gag, huh?'l No, no gag. I know, he has dizzy spells! Nope, been healthy all his life. Very tired, I guess. Nope3' Well, what's the matter with him ? He's dead. li Absent-minded Prof.: I forgot my umbrella this morning, dear. Wife: How did you remember you had forgotten it?

A tree toad loved a she toad, that lived up in a tree, She was a 3-toed tree toad, but a 2-toed toad was he. The 2-toed toad tried to win the she toad's friendly nod, For the 2-toed tree toad loved the ground that the 3-toed tree toad trod. But vainly the 2-toed tree toad tried: he couldn't please her whim, In her tree toad bower with her veto power, the she toad ve- toed him.

Signed: C6176 Staff K J THE TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR LThere are few things more elusive or mystifying than the typographical error. We suppose this Pine Knot has some of them in it, in spite of the numerous proof-readings and the extreme care taken to avoid themj The typographical error is a .slippery thing and sly, You can hunt till you are dizzy, but it somehow Will get by. Till the forms are off the presses, it is strange how still it keepsg It lies hidden in a corner and it never stirs or peeps. That typographical error, too small for human eyes, Till the ink is on the paper, When it grows to mountain size. The adviser stares with horror, then he grabs his hair and groans, The copy reader drops his head upon his hands and moans- The remainder of the book may be clean as clean can be, But the typographical error is the only thing you see. -ggn- 'm1i M EXCELSIOR LAUNDRY ED7S MEN'S l Complete Laundry Service l FAMILY and INDIVIDUAL Y -I -' PHONE 318 KROGEIVS E.
