What Others Think of The Tiger The Review- — Lowell, Mass. Here is a new exchange which we are glad to receive. You have the founda- tions for a good paper, but we should sug- gest some cuts for each department. The Literary section contains some good sto- ries. Where is your Exchange Depart- ment ? NOT WHAT IT SEEMS Did you ever walk on a warm afternoon Or lose your heart in the full of the moon? Did you ever ride in a beaver hat Or chance to go on a bacon bat? Have you ever danced with an orchestra great Or very often made a date Or held the line for a friend of yours Or taken a lantern to do the chores? Did you ever fall for a girlie sweet Or lose your head when on your feet? Have you ever been tripped by the door to the hall Or drunk lemonade after the ball ? Did you ever hear a dogwood bark Or go for a day on a pleasant lark Or taste a complexion of peaches and cream ? Did you ever see moss on an old sunbeam ? Have you ever seen a woodpecker’s peck Or ever run down with your laundry check ? Ever measure a distance with your eye? You haven’t? Well, neither have I! HILDA SCALES, ’21. Brown (in Ancient History) : “The battle of Tours was fought from dawn till dark on a Saturday night in October.’’ Miss Ferguson: “I suppose the Sara- cens fled at moonrise on Sunday morn- ing?” There was a young man of Ipswich Whose name was young Georgie Mc- S witch, He went overseas And came back with some And now all poor George does is itch. A little boy was walking along the street and he kept sniffling. A lady, pas- sing by asked: “Little boy, haven’t you a handkerchief?” “Yes,” he replied but I don’t lend it to strangers.” She was that annoying kind of girl who is continually humming popular songs For the last few weeks it had been war songs, much to the vexation of her broth- er lately returned from France. “Don’t you know the war’s over?” he asked. “Whistle it,” she replied, “and I’ll see if 1 do.” Miss Damon had just assigned the les- son in shorthand. As usual one of the pupils came up and began to argue about it. At last the wearied teacher said, “1 don’t care,, shoot (suit) yourself.” When you leave the old Manning High School (Old) When you’re leaving the old school for good (Hurrah) When troubles and strife have entered your life (Maybe) And you wished you were back there again (Never) When gloom keeps you longing for study (Impossible) As the empty stomach longs for food (Ah!!!) We will answer your call, we’ll forgive you for all (Yes??!) But we’ll never go back there again, (You tell ’em) Author (Unknown) 19

The story called “The Ghost of Hazel- tine” is very interesting. The Chronicle— Marblehead, Mass. Your idea in having the paper in news- paper form is very good . You should have more jokes. 18

Into the Shorthand class one day, Lucy Lee came prancing in. With her usual happiness And her .face a- grin. Her classmates all seemed anxious Their cheerful friend to greet They lent their full attention Till Lucy took her seat. Lucy still was smiling, but not As mirthfully as before. Expressions of great agony, At times on her face she wore. And when at last the teacher Came in to hear her class, All were happy, very happy, Except one little lass. Miss Damon, when the class was o’er Lucy’s quiet to extol Said, “Miss Lee, you alone did well, Your laughter to control.” All this praise to Lucy Didn’t seem quite fair, So she sadly whispered “K. put a tack in my chair.” Miss Wood (to unprepared French class) : “I find it rather hard to swallow all the excuses.” Pupil: “Perhaps she’ll choke when she hears miriel” The first poetess in Ipswich was Anne Bradstreet ; the last is in the Sophomore, class. Ask Mr. Hodgkins who she is. A teacher I know, named Miss Wood As a friend and a teacher she’s good She’s engaged it is said So 1 guess she will wed I know she could if she would, and she should. Selections from Junior Poems When Bobby’s tummy was nearly full Mother brought out a large cake. Bobby asked never a question But loosed his belt around his stomach. The rhyme was unintentional. The day was blue and so was I ; A drizzlin rain I felt ; The clouds hung heavy in the sky; 1 thought that I would melt. Some weather! Bean entered Spanish recitation late, as usual. Miss Wood — “Bean, we are waiting for you. You are the missing link.” Bean — “Oh no, I am the whole chain!” We all know that Bean is clever at repartee. THE MAGIC OF A SMILE There’s no one in this world who knows How much a smile can do. It quickly cheers the saddest hearts For it penetrates right through. Xo one knows how much a smile Can do on a cloudy day. It drives away all solitude And makes the sunbeams play. Who has not seen how just a smile, To people old and grey, Can make the dear old eyes grow bright And send their clouds away? If you ever see your neighbors Sorely troubled and distressed Some cheery words and smiles from you Will help them do their best. And if you should have a grievance Bear it bravely all the while. Do not waste your time complaining But just simply smile. LUCY LEE, 1922. 20
