Enfin, ce vasseau passait Pile de Monte Cristo que Dantes connait comme Pendroit ou le vieux pretre lui disait qu’on cachait le tresor de la famille des Spadas.

Felis Felis sedit by a hole Intenta she, cum omni soul, Prendered, rats; Mice cucurrent over the floor, In numero duo, tres, or more Obliti cats. Felis saw them oculis; I’ll have them, inquit she, I guess Dum ludent; Tunc ilia crept toward the group, Habeam, dixit; good rat soup Pingues sunt.

the echo 27 down trees all around me, and still I con- tinued growing. I began having acorns of my own now, and saving boys climb up my trunk, and swing from my big limbs. One spring when I woke up, I found that I was practically the only tree left, and how majestic I felt. King o’er the Ocean and Land, I liked to think, because I could look far over the ocean, and back over the land. One night it rained and thundered and lightninged, and the ocean was very rough. I saw a light on the ocean and knew that one of those boats was laboring in the storm. The light came nearer the cliff, near which I stood, and late in the night I heard a crash, and knew that the boat had hit the cliff, and I also heard shrieks and knew that people were in distress, but I, a tree, could do nothing. The next day some men came and looked over the cliff, shading their heads, and talking in low tones. After the next snow some more of those things crashed on the Cliff, and I got so I listened for them during a storm. A few more snows after that, some men came and one of them nailed a big thing near the top of my trunk, on the ocean side. A lot of wires came out of it, and were attached to another wire running through the air. That night I got the sur- prise of my life, for a man came and turned something near the ground and a big daz- zling light suddenly came out of that thing and I heard him say, “There, I guess that’ll keep ’em away.” I wondered whether he meant the men who cut down the trees or the ships, but he didn’t say. All the other trees are cut down and I stand here all alone, keeping vigil o’er all the sea, as I found out, because I heard a man say, “Well, we haven’t had any boats lost since “Old Faithful” has kept guard” Was I proud? Well, I guess I was, and I ?,ave many people come and look at me. I d like to see the chipmunk now, that could jump over me. Dumb: “What do they call lemons in Kalamazoo? Dumber: “I’ll bite”. Dumb: “Lemons, of course”. Dumb: “My girl has affectionate eyes.” Belle: “Yes, they’re always looking at each other.” Colored soldier telling of war: Ah shot, and Ah shot, and Ah shot — eleben times, and Ah wins everah dollah in dat crap game. In the paper after a duel between Mr Shott and Mr. Krott: The shot that Shott shot at Krott shot not Krott but shot Shott himself. Reverend: “Remember, my friends, none of us wear a whole shirt on our backs.” Bob J. : “Now, Parson, how do you make that out? Look! I’ve got a whole shirt on my back”! Reverend: My dear boy, half of your shirt is on the front”. “How did you hurt your thumb, George? George A.: Hurrying to catch a fellow and I stepped on it. Father Jock (to his offspring on a Sun- day morning on the way to the kirk “Hist, Angus, me lad, ye’d better take longer steps, seein’ as ye’ve yer Soonday shoes on”. J Chet (phoning garage) : “Send help at once. I’ve turned turtle.” Voice: “My dear Sir, this is a garage. W hat you want is an aquarium. When you’re down, don’t be dis- couraged ! Just remember the mighty oak was once Dorothy Brown, ’30. Duggan: “Where do you think I got this collar?” Dalton: “Where?” Duggan: “Around my neck.” Anna R. : “What are these chops, lamb or pork?” John S. : “Can’t you tell by the taste?” Anna R. : No. John S. : “Well then, what difference does it make.” “Lived here all your life?” “Don’t know, haven’t died yet.” 3 comfortable is audience so Dear me, big boy, it’s because they’ve removed the tax from the seats.” 4 Why isn t Holbrook a true Democracy? Because they keep electing a King. y ° U the Mea of be “ m - “Madam 1 thought that the blackboard would set off my blond hair so beautifully ”

Numerus hominum in legionibus re- bus distulit. Vis legionum finibus belli sex milia homines erat. Legiones finibus belli sex milia homines erat. Legiones in decem cohortibus dividebantur. Senes legiones tironum vocabantur. Quiesque legio nu- mero distabatur. In primo anno Gallici belli, Caesar quattuor legiones veteranas habuit, cum numeris septem, octo, novem, et decem. Cum cognoveret Helvetios per fines Sequanorum et Aeduorum constituisse ire, celeriter duas legiones in Galliam cum numeris undecim et duodecim delegit. Cum his sex legionibus duos optimarum victori- arum fecit. In secundo anno duas novas legiones delegit, tredecim et quattuor-de- cim. Initio proximi anni, Caesar duas plures legiones in Galliam delegit, et legi- ones veteranas ab Pompeio obtinuit. In ex- tremis duobus annis belli decem legiones praeterquam seperatum supplementum hab- uit. Im perator dux vocabatur usque victori- am vicit; post primam victoriam, imperator vocabatur. Caesar imperator vocabatur temporibus superavit. Helvetios usque suam mortem. Legatus proximus in ordine erat, qui erat cerebrius praefectus est separatis legionibus ab Caesare. Absente imperatore legatus fiebat legatus pro praetore et magnam auc- toriatem monstravit. Quaestor diligentia telorum et copiarum dabatur. Quaestor et legati auxilium imperatoris coniunxerunt, constitutum certos milites et adulescentam ordinis qui voluerunt acquirere militlam. Militum tribuni sex in quaque legione ha- buerunt. Claire Roach, ’29. NAUTAE FORTITER PUGNANT Nautae in his navibus sunt fortissimi. Gallos non timent. His nautis pugnant pro supero honores suae patriae superaverunt omnes suos hostesque multa et magna dona accipiebant quae a civibus Romae donata sunt. Naves in pictura triginta pedes in longitudinem et quinque pedes in latitudi- nem sunt. Boni nautae pugnabunt fortis- sime in magno proelio contra malos Gallos qui interficere omnes bonos et fidos cives Romae conabantur. Si nautae non Gallos superavissent omnes populi Romae e eis inter fecti essent et omnia pulchra aedificia Romana deleta essent. Morris Waldman, ’30. It has been said that some teachers have no favorites; they flunk everybody with equal grace.
