The Fisher: “Then it won’t be a crime if 1 land a fish?” The Inhabitant: “No, it’ll be a miracle!” Artist: “I’ve got some of the funniest pictures you ever saw.” Editor: “Really? Where did you have them taken?” He was an up-to-the-minute motorist, but had lost his way. Suddenly his eyes brightened as he shouted to his wife: “I think we’re getting near a town. We’re hitting more people.” Wiggs: “Sorry to keep you waiting, old man; but I’ve just been setting a trap for my wife.” Wagg: “Heavens! What do you suspect?” Wigg: “A mouse in the pantry.” • “How old is your son?” asked the visitor. “Well,” replied the dad, “he’s reached that age when he thinks the most important thing to pass isn’t his examination, but the car ahead.” Kind Friend: “I did what I could, Tony; I told her you had more money than sense.” The Victim: “And what did she say?” Kind Friend: “She asked if you had any money.” • • The teacher was giving a lesson on “snow.” “As you walk out on a cold winter day and look around, what do we see on every hand?” she inquired. “Gloves,” answered the jedhaired boy in the rear seat. “One of our little pigs was sick, so I gave him some sugar.” “Sugar—what for?” “For medicine, of course. Haven’t you heard of sugar-cured hams?” • • Patient: “Will the anaesthetic make me sick?” Doctor: “No, I think not.” Patient: “How long will it be before I know anything?” Doctor: “Aren’t you expecting too much of an anaesthetic?” Old Lady: “Oh, conductor, please stop the train. I dropped my wig out the window.” Conductor: “Never mind, madam, there is a switch just this side of the next station.” The Fisher: “Is this a public lake?” The Inhabitant: “Yes, sir.” • A man who was wanted by the police had been photographed in six positions and the pictures sent out to the state police. In a few days headquarters received this from a small-town chief: ‘I duly received the pictures of six miscreants wanted. Five of them have been captured and we are on the trail of the sixth.” Oldest Sewing Machines. A contest for the purpose of discovering the hundred oldest sewing machines in the United States has brought to light many interesting facts. Two A chines began service in 1853, which is only two yeW-Ps after the first successful machine was placed on the market. The one hundred prize-winning machines range in age from sixty-eight to seventy-four years. The make of the winning machines included: Singer, 73; Grover Baker, 10; Howe, 5; Willcox Gibbs, 5; Wheeler Wilson, 5; Leavit, 1, and Bartholf, 1. One machine, owned by Mrs. Frank Pallot of Plain-well. Mich., was the machine on which she made her own wedding gown and the christening, graduation and wedding dresses of her two daughters. Snowy Owl Captured at Sea. Out of a clear blue sky one thousand miles from land, came a snowy white owl, says The Pathfinder. It flew to the rigging of the Leviathan, giant American liner, crossing the Atlantic. The rare “creature of the night” was captured by the crew and is now in the possession of the New York zoo. In announcing the gift to the zoo. Captain Hartley of the Leviathan, said the bird had alighted in mid-ocean and anparently had relayed from other liners. » « Birch Wood Used for Spools. Nearly all ordinary spools are said to be made from the white birch, and while this species of tree grows in all parts of the United States, we read that it grows best in Maine. Practically all of the world’s supply of spool wood comes from the great woods of the north. A few spools are manufactured in Maine, but generally after the wood is seasoned, it is shipped elsewhere to be made into spools. (’ash Preferred to Paternalism. No man is rich enough or wise enough to set himself up as his brother’s keeper, declared Dr. C. R. Brown, dean of Yale Divinity School, not long ago. He stated that he was opposed to the policy of paternalism. “Welfare work on the part of great corporations Is an excellent thing; but the workers prefer to rewarded in cash. It is good mathematics and good morals to insist that ‘I am my brother’s brother’ from beginning to end,” he said. TROCADERO ORGAN. After twenty years of silence and disuse, the “finest concert organ in Europe,” that of the Troca aero at Paris, is once more in tune and is functioning. An American’s contribution of $500 started thn fund for repairs. The organ has twelve keyboards and is now blown by electric motors instead of hand pumped bel ows. PAGE 10

FOOTBALL Football practice was started September 3 with forty-four candidates cut. Among these there were five lettermen from last year composed of: Lawrence Lombard, fullback; Frank Schramm, left guard; Lavant Pickens, left tackle; Daniel Gonder, center; and Robert Palane, left end. Gonder and Palen were elected co-captains by the western Michigan football tampions of nineteen thirty-four. Although our team has not been so successful in its games thus far, all of the students are behind it and wish it success in its future games. ---------o-------- Typing Troubles Can anything be more disgusting Can anything make you more blue, Than one of those bad days in typing? I don’t think so—do you? You sit at your keyboard and hammer; You hit the wrong key, and “bang!” Ycu pound on the next one as if it would help. When it doesn’t, you whisper. “Oh, hang!” You like to shout it out loud, all right, Hut, for heaven’s sake, keep still. Just whisper soft curses beneath your brea h, O: teacher will think you are ill. One of our teachers keeps saying to us That if you’re lazy, you’re ill. If they think that you’re ill, can they turn it around And say that you’re lazy, at will? We won’; give them the chance to think it of us. We’ll act like we like it, and then— To our great surprise, we’ll all realize It wasn’t so bad. Was it, men? —Gladys Wiesenborn. The V. C. H. S. Booster. ---------o-------- STICK TO YOIR AIM Stick to your aim. The mongrel’s hold will slip But only the crowbars loose the bulldog’s grip Small though he looks, the jaw that never yields Drags down the bellowing monarch of the fields. A —Oliver Wendal Holmes. Ole has wondered what that snapping noise wa3 in American History. You will have to ask Wanda Bovid. -------o-------- It looks like Virginia Butler “forgot to como back” from her trip to Washington, D. C. -------o-------- We wonder who it is that calls on Velma Vine every now and then? TRICKS AND STUNTS —--------------------------———-—1 THE ROOSTER FIGHT This out-of-door game will be fun for the boys. With a stick draw a circle on the ground. Now let each boy, or “rooster,” as he is called in this game, hold his arms behind his back and stand side by side within the circle. Some boy who has been chosen as leader shouts, “Fight, roosters, fight!” At these words the “roosters” try to push one another out of the circle by means of their shoulders. Any rooster who unfolds his arms or falls down or is pushed outside the circle is out of the game. The winning “rooster” is the boy who succeeds in pushing all the others out of the circle. A BACK-TO-BACK RACE A back-to-back race is a good out of doors game and furnishes the players with a novel exercise; that of running backwards. Mark off a level stretch of ground one hundred feet in length. Now make up as many teams of two members each as possible. Have the members of each team stand back-to-back; then tie them together with a piece of rope. The contestants stand along the starting line. At the signal to go, each team makes for the other line, one hundred feet away and parallel to the first. One of the two members will, of course, have to run backward. As soon as they reach the second line, the teammates reverse the direction of their progress and run back toward the line from which they started; that is, the member who previously went backward now goes forward. The team wins that first covers the course out and back. SOME UNUSUAL FORFEITS It is sometimes hard to think up forfeits on the spur of the moment. Here are some that have caused much fun: Tie your feet together and try to walk around the room. Stand on one foot and spell “sensible” backward. Select some player in the room, put your hand over your heart and repeat each letter of the alphabet, to him or her. Walk backwards around the room and bow backwards to the three “wisest persons” in the room. Go about the room and smile at each of seven persons. Stand in the corner of the room blindfolded for five minutes calling for “help.’ Make a noise like soda water coming out of a pop fountain. Walk around the room and give a piece of good advice to the three youngest persons in the room. Represent some animal by motions only, untL some one in the room is able to guess what animal it is. Hop about the floor on one foot and curtsy to each empty chair. ■------o-------- The outer skin of a snake may be completely renewed about three times a year. PAGE 9
