Easter V O X HO0DOO THEY MEAN? Lives of actors all remind us, We can sometimes be the rage, And retiring leave behind us, Fruit and eggs upon the stage. Smye fsweetly as they sip their tea to- getherj- lsn't this tea delicious? Miss Burkholder- Yes, l like to take tea with a little lemon.' Coleman made love to Miss Walker Like Punch made love to Judy. But the funniest love l ever saw made Was when McCullough made love to a cutie. LIZ WALKER'S HYMN Lives of football men remind us, We can write our names in blood, And retiring leave behind us Half our faces in the mud. fTune, Shall We Cather at the River?j. Some students are always behind in their studies so that they may pursue them. Mummery-ul spent nine hours on my geometry last night. Mr. Armstrong- How so? Mummery- I put it under the mattress and slept on it. Stranger- ls there any play-ground at your school? Miss Cordon-- A few cases of small- pox. -fThink this overj. Lightstone-'il see that bananas are said to be a brain food. Woods- Yes, but first you must have brains to feed.' Matteson fto conductor on street carl - At which end of the car do l get off? Conductor fpolitelyj- Whichever end you like, sir. They both stop. L Y lf E I 19221 We had a fine clock given to us this Christmas, said Beatty. One evening we went for a short walk and when we came back we found the clock - Cone? interjected Baxter, excitedly. Not quite, explained Beatty, calmly, but we found it going. Gardener- This is a tobacco plant in full flower. Elliot- How very interesting. How long will it be before the cigars and cigar- ettes are ripe?' Ignorance, remarked tiny Miss Aitchi- son, they say is bliss. Oh, that accounts for it, then, said Mr. Collins, that contented, happy look you usually wear. When you're angry count a hundred, That is wisdom, so they say, For it gives the chap you're mad at, Lots of time to get away. fTeachers of T-4 are earnestly requested to read this poeml.

Easter V O X L Y l' E I 1921 1 5 SR. THIRD FORM ROBERT MITCHELL, Representative. COULD THIS BE ALF. WARD? Little Alfred wondered why Acid troubled alkali. So in manner very placid Fed the kitty prussic acid. Hereupon the cat grew frantic, Executing many an antic. Oh, cried Alfred, mystified, Pussy must be alkaliedf Since Rouge Caldwell came to town some girls we know have changed their craving for the footlights to a desire for a head-light. In Room l4, Mr. Morris compared Latin to a vehicle, helping one down the road to mental power. But we think it is some- thing like a Ford-rather rough on you till you get there. EXAMPLES Hogarth- Pa, what's a rudundancy of expression? Pa- Using more words than are nec- essary to express one's meaning, such as 'wealthy teachers,' 'poor poets,' etc. TWO ROLLS Stout Person- I say, boy, can you tell me the quickest way l can get to the station? Urchin fatter regarding him closelyj- Well, I should think your best plan is to lie clown and roll over 'bout twice.' Elliott spent his last S20 bill.

Elliott- Do you take me for a fool? Mr. Collins- Yes. Co on. Someone in T-2 says that it may be Cupid who pierces the heart with arrows, but that it takes a pretty girl to draw the beaux. We wonder who he means. Finkleman- And she said I was the First boy to have kissed her. Harris- Poor girl, to have such a start! . Edith- This paper says that the aver- age person speaks twelve thousand words a day. Patterson- I always said you were above the average, Miss Carrington. Singing Master- Madam, your daugh' ter is improving daily in her singing. Mother- l'm so glad. We couldn't quite tell whether Norma was improving or we were getting more used to it. He- Why is a blush like a little girl? She- Because it becomes a woman.
