Melania Cindignantlyj : Well, I didn't say that I was right: I just stated a point in the service. ' N. B.-It took Mr. Weber ten minutes to regain his customary dig- nity. When Twitchell, Fisher, Mullen, and Barber, marooned thirteen miles out on the C., P. Sz E. line, were nearly famished for the want of something to eat and drink, Mullen managed to choke out, Let's cut the trolley wire and drink the juice that is in it. Mullen went home on a stretcher that night. Mr. Gehring fin German classl : Now I am going to run around the class. Mr. Heald: How far is it to the sky ? Eva: Never been there. Mr. Heald: Well, maybe you will get there sometime. Mr. Weber: Did Myrtle drop this subject ? - Student: No, she is home sick. Mr. Weber fwho understood it as home-sickjz Why? Didn't she see her mother for a while ? Bright Pupil Cto the secretaryj : I want to buy a vision. Secretary fpuzzledj : Buy a vision ? Bright Pupil: Yes, The Vision of Sir Launfalf' Peddler: Rags, rags, rags. Mr. Weber: My, this must be a ragged street! The Junior Candy Sale advertisement read as follows: DO NOT ERASE! SAVE YOUR DIMI-is AND QUARTERS FOR CANDY! THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1914. Some extra brilliant Senior applied an eraser to this sign, and it read as follows: DO NOT RASE FOR CANDY! MARCH. Mr. Gehring: Danken fGerman for 'thanks'J is a weak verb. Most gratitude is weak, anyway. Denken CGerman for 'think'D is a mixed verb. People's thoughts are usually mixed, you know. After the Misses Helen and Rose Peach had entertained us at Rhetor- icals, David Klein was heard to say, Gee whiz, first time I ever heard of two peaches making a pear. 1 l
