SIDE TALKS WITH BOYS - Laura Lean yibbey CARTER, ,I71IfMF. Saul thinks of resigning, you are certainly best fit to succeed him. Why not write a chemistry to suit yourself? DALLMAN, '17-You could advertise for a girl in the Spinster's Gazette. SELSAM, ,I7-YES, great fortunes have been made in selling watch fobs. Rust proof collar buttons might probably sell faster for you. GOLDSTEIN, ,I7-YES, the latest in socks are the changeable colors-that is, those which are white but become dark by using. ? ? ? ? ? What reason does the janitor have for talking about a square-pointed knife? Who told Hoffman that Southey, the writer, was a city in southern Italy? Why did someone say that Michael Angelo was an archangel? Wilenski says he'll go to war willingly if they draft him. Isn't that nice? How can you ex lain the fact that Martz must remove the ring fiiom his finger before he can study? If Miss Orth calls Dryden's writings in- fernally dry how would she characterize Dante's Inferno? Why does Selsam go around apologizing to everyone that he's alive? Who said that the teachers don't know how to hand outlessons? Don't you think Deppen has enough excuse cards to shuflie? THE SEVEN WONDERS OF HIGH SCHOOL Witherow's feet. Winfield's mouth. Zac's jokes Spanglerls intellect. Mr. Hall's gestures. Daugherty's build. Cashman's height. THE TELLING OF THE TALE A boy, a girl. A moonlight night, Two strong arms, Oh, what a plight, A dropping head, A glint ofgold, Two sounding smacks, The tale is told. ZAC-' 'All those not here please stop answer- ing. The best thing in the world for big feet is- big shoes. CHEMISTRY A LA CARTER Chemistry was discovered in the year 5oo B. C. by a young Eskimo of no particular nation- ality. He first invented a solution for growing hair on rats' tails. His thesis The Medicinal Properties of Sandstone, is still famous and much read. Chemistry rapidly spread and was soon introduced into Dauphin County in the year 450 B. C. Here dynamite was discovered and the discoverer was so over come with joy that he passed away-through the skylight, of course. Now there are thousands of dynamite mines in the country. There are two branches of chemistry, or- ganic and unorganic. Organic deals with what coats your eats and unorganic with what eats your coats. You start with Chem. I which is a dead cinch. Next the student tackles Chem. II. Does he change his mind about the subject? Yes, Henry, he changeth it. By the time he's done Chem. III he can analysize anything from the Atomic Theory to a dish of needle soup. When Chem. IV comes-Cdeep groans.D So chemistry has developed until it has reached what it is to-day and if the bell had'nt just rung, I'd tell you more about it. INTERESTING NOTES ON THE FACULTY Prof. Rose spent the last chapel service in peaceful sleep. It is rumored that the Dauphin police force has Mr. Saul's number-no speeding allowed in that busy little borough, even in Fords. Miss Kast is being rushed by Harry Good, 'I 8. fWatch out, girls.J Miss Orth has shown symptoms lately of having had a disappointment in love. Which reminds us-we have noticed a diam- ond on the fourth finger ofMiss Saul's left hand. Zac seems sad lately. He must have for- gotten one ofhis oldjokes. Did you know that Mr. Burris is engaged? Yes, she's a Rochester chicken. Won't it be awful down here when all the men teachers are conscripted? Soapie,' will be especially missed on account of his instructive current events' talks. Miss Engle has 'been less repacious lately in her eternal cry, go get your ticket, where's your ticket ? Mrs. Fox, our gum shoe detective, is a real fox when it comes to holding down the em- ployment Bureau. Mr. Miller threatened to throw the person who's making all that noise out of the rooml' the other day. The offender proved to be Martz, ,I7. Imagine, kind reader, what might have happened! Miss McNifT proved to be not only a very efiicient chaperon on a certain hike to Dauphin not long ago but also a good hiker-total six miles. This came indirectly but Mr. Fahnestock fnot Missj has been accused of reading the May number of Snappy Stories. 101011 1 1 sioioioiuioia is 31 :o1n2u3oi0i0io11

BEAUTY HINTS EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY ARGUS OF Application of Rouge '932 t 5 By 7oro!lzy ffairfax The proper application of rouge is one of the fine arts. The skill ofa Rembrandt oraMichael Angelo, however, is not required if the readers of this column, who so successfully used the mani- curing method explained several months ago, care to delve deeper with me into the science of beauty enhancement. That there is a crying need for a proper explanation of how, when and where to rouge, a trip through the corridors between periods will amply demonstrate. Never in all my ex- tensive lecturing trips-and I have given lessons to the natives of the Congo, Borneo, Dauphin, and Camp Hill-have I been so appalled at the ignorance of cosmetic adornment as is here dis- played in this great center of learning, culture, and debating societies. I have shuddered at raw dabs of hectic red that have slipped from bloom- ing cheek bones and run riot on ear and neck, I have shivered at stenciled eye-brows that met above the nose and tapered off under the hair, I have gasped at rich hued lips that were as broad as Zac Meixel 's jokes and as long as Miss Bower's Latin lessons. Learn from my vast years of experience and remedy your facial defects thus: ' 1 sheet of paper C6 in. x 8 in.j I camel's hair brush I can carmine paint I can white enamel 1 can blue paint I can yellow paint 1 can lard Dip camel's hair brush in each color in turn and transfer liberal amount to sheet of paper, mix well until primal colors are obliterated and as many separate hues as possible secured. Pour over paper enough lard to make entire mixture adhesive. Bend over paper until face isjust touch- ing surface. Ask a friend to hit you over back of head in unexpected manner. Detach paper cling- ing to face and sweep brush dexterously across cheeks, eye-brows and lips. Stand in sun until thoroughly dry. Your toilet is complete.. Note: A jar of cold cream might be necessary before fresh application. . TESTIMONIALS: I have gazed into a mirror, astonished at the remarkable result. Tom Caldwell, '18. Since using your method I have noticed the greatest difference between my face now and when I used rouge. Esther Dunlap, ,I7. ' 'Where can I get more cold cream P Harry Good, '18. I had no blue paint and used ink. Can guarantee the same result. Laura Bretz, '17. After using your remedy I became so en- raptured with my appearance that I forgot to attend the Triangle Dance. Jim Dougherty, 317 Oc. -High School opened yesterday with only a few girls of the class of '17 in their usual seats. Oct. 9-During the past year we are glad to announce that the following improve- ments in High School have taken places- frj Compulsory attendance to classes has been abolished. C27 All tests and written lessons are given on the Sundays of each month nearest the full moon. Cgj A fleet of airships has been pur- chased for the faculty to come to school in, thereby enlarging the students' chances for no classes. Oct. 27-Rev. Paul Selsam, D. D., now pastor Nov. Nov. Nov. Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. Mar. June of St. Paul 's M. E. Church, Rockville, gave a short talk in chapel on the sub- ject Who cut the sleeves out of father 's vest? ' ' 2-Since football was abolished IO years ago by an act of Congress, the annual golf tournament was held yesterday. It was won by Miss Margaret Koster, '17, who has been reviewing some of her Senior Physics with Prof. Henschen for I5 years. Io-The enrollment ofour School at present is 4,927 of which the only two men be- sides those in the faculty arejanitors. ' 22-Yesterday we had no chemistry. Prof. Allison Skinner ran out of gas while coming to school in his biplane and had to spend the day in the hospital. 30-The Argus Staff will enjoy their four- teenth strawride tonight. Mr. Thomas Caldwell, the principal, says that they can have as many as they want, if they take him along. 3-It has been decided that all examina- tions be done away with. I7-WC start again our daily grind after our 5 weeks ofChr1stmas vacation. 1 I-Dr. Harold Eckert of Harvard Univer- sity gave us a lecture on The Habits of the People of Mars.
