HAMMOND HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Grinds of 1911 Prof.'s headpiece of Panama will soon be replaced by one of straw. Good things come to them that wait, But here's a rule that's slicker, If Miss Sipher didn’t stay at home so much, She'd catch a fellow quicker. Wanted—A muzzle for Mrs. SalidayV parrot. Prof. Jones. One of Maggie's favorite songs; “When Arthur Nails the Carpet on the Stairs. Dean Moore has discontinued dispensing drugs for a clerk- ship in W. R. Wilson's grocery. Eula and Pauline, alias “Mutt and Jeff are contemplating the purchase of an unbreakable, metal hammock. What are the words Bill Walrath likes best to hear nights ? Ans. Tee Hee ! On Wednesday last, in History class, A peculiar case of a peculiar lass, There came a summons for Gay at the door And in her haste she fell to the floor. 'Twas the opinion of Gay and many more, That it was a case of Jones at the door. When she returned she looked rather sullen, For all 'twas at the door was her sister Helen. Merril is already prepared for the hot weather, having se- cured a Fan(nie), up on Church street. Can anyone explain, why Walrath misses the Sunday night train from Brier Hill, why Allen buys his groceries of Robeson, why Vincent pulls down the curtain in the back of Scanlon's pool room, why Anna is corresponding with a dry goods firm in regard to the price of hammocks, why Grace thinks pompadour hair is just lovely, why Florence is always so quiet in Botany class, why Dean Delong skips Latin and throws the carpet downstairs, why Miss Waterbury and Miss Allen don't go housekeeping ?

HAMMONI) HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL The Reason Prof. Jones is sore and full of woe, And on Monday morning especially so. We don’t know the reason, at least we won’t tell, But whoever she is, she must be swell. He e.v. m town on Friday and returns late Sunday night. Do wo tit. Oak Point road, but turn to the right. cssibly he’s looking for a job for the summer vacation, Pm sorry I can’t give more definite information. Sometimes he remarks that he’s going to pitch hay, Won’t he feel nice on a real hot day, When he’s been up late the night before, To hear Joe call him at half-past four ? Then he’ll think of mother and home, sweet home. And of the streets of Syracuse, where he used to roam. But what’s the use of such things to dream, When he’s got to milk cows, then to the field with the team. I tell you this will go against Prof.’s grain. He may get over it, but he’ll never be the same. The above is a supposition, don’t imagine it is true, So bear this in mind and Pll bid you adieu. H. H S. Menagerie Siamese Twins ..........

HA1 1M0ND HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL We heard last week that two prominent lawyers of Ogdens- burg were in town trying a case between William Walrath and one of the residents of Depot street. The complaint of the resident was that said Walrath and one of her boarders ruined her hammock on the evening that the wonderful Hopper was sidetracked. The court has been adjourned until January 32, 1912. Have you seen Bacon’s new horse trainer ? Grace says there is some class to Bacon’s chariot alright, alright. What is the matter with Bill Walrath ? The Rossie kid says that he is too “fussy”. Wanted—Detective to shadow Scottie McGregor. W. R. Wilson. Wanted—Someone to take my place at C. Demick’s. Work easy. L. Daniels. Why does Pick spend her evenings at W. R. Wilson’s lately ? Ask Jane’s father. Miss Sipher, in third year English, “I wish this class would stop their fussing.” Why don’t teachers practise what they preach ?
