 T H Fo I) A far the most familiar and beautiful. The place where I had been brought up and taught my A B C’s, St. Paris—my old home town. It had remained the same. As I ooked a feeling of gladness stole over me, for I would have it no other way—just the same as it had always been and as I wanted it always to be. A place of refuge from the toil and heat and strife of cities. As I gazed eagerly for familiar faces upon the streets, I saw many children pass- ing. Far behind them a solitary figure walked slowly. In her arms iwere clasped several leaflets of music. As she came nearer I could see that she wore no hat, and the sun caught and reflected the reddish tints of her hair. Almost immediately I re- cognized Rosetta. She was living up to her life dream teaching music at St. Paris High. Even as I watched, she entered a bar- ber shop and from out of the darkness of the interior I saw an exceptionally pretty woman come to meet her. Even from be- hind that mask of friendliness and comrade- ship so prevalent among old classmates I could distinguish an air of business inter- ests and then I knew what had become of Mid. Her tastes for beauty always so evi- dent in herself had carried her into the work of assisting other women to gain beauty through her able fingers. All at once a wave of heat swept through and engulfed the room in which I sat. I strove in vain for consciousness—the old woman was gone. I felt myself sinking, sinking—the heat was terrific. I felt as though I was suffocating, and then suddenly as if at a great distance I heard a bell ring, which partly aided me to regain my com- posure. A shai'p pain went through my side as someone’s elbow found it’s way to a sensi- tive spot and a voice hissed loudly in my ear, “Hey stupid, cantcha hear that bell?” And as my feet hit the floor and my eyes flew open, the usual scenes with which sleepy classes are so closely associated greeted me, and I heard the voice of our teacher saying, “Our lesson for tomorrow will be over to part B and take the Special Studies at the end of the first part.” And then all evidences of sleepiness left me, as somewhere near the door I heard a familiar plaintive voice cry, “My gosh, Mr Winters, all that?” Rp I - J I 9 f IT We have been four years in high school Teachers preaching the Golden Rule, We’ve had some fights with the teachers Some love affairs too-------- But there is nothing like the studying we do (?) Susie Chickens like to fight Just for spite Always with the teachers Never with the preachers. Susie Winters: If you had 10,000,000 eggs in cold storage----- Brown: Well, what if you let them go. Procter: They would get rotten. Red A: Pete why do you always have to interupt every time the preachers ask me a question? Pete: Why only to tell the truth. Red A: Yes, but the preachers ask me who was the first one off the Ark and I said Noah was the first, you had to speak up and say there were three before Noah. Pete: Well, there were three because the Bible says that when the Ark landed Noah came forth. Miss Miller: Tuty, what is a verb? Tuty: A teacher’s paddle. Miss Miller: Why, how’s that? Tuty: Because it has action. Bill: What is the greatest acrobatic feat? Sam: Football, I guess. Bill: No. Wheeling, West Virginia across the Ohio. Teacher: What three words are used most in the English language? Student: (absent mindedly): I don’t know. Teacher: Correct. If a man smashed a clock, could he be convicted for killing time? Not if the clock struck first. 80
