16 THE (C END ERsiKeA MAKING THE STUDY OF AGRICULTURE PRACTICAL Believing in the theory that we can best learn by doing, we do our best to make our class work in agricu lture resemble in nature actual farm prob- lems. We have made various field trips to nearby farms for the purpose of finding practical problems. We have had some men come to talk to us about farm problems. And in connection with our school, we have a large hotbed and an acre experimental plot. We have taken orders for many thousand garden plants. We are going to plant potatoes, popcorn, new grain varieties, etc., on our acre, and we will exhibit our produce at next year’s Fall Festival. It is our aim to make Center a vital part of this community. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Henry Wallace, editor of the ‘‘Wallaces’ Far- mer’, was the Commencement speaker. The exer- cises were held at Center High School, May 17. The Baccalaurate program was held at East Union Church, May 13. Edward Deiner of Well- man delivered the sermon. Remember Way Back When Delmar Brenneman walked-up the aisle using the joints in his knees, Lloyd Fry forgot his necktie. George Hess got into a fistic brawl at Cosgrove. The Juniors and Seniors went to Economics class without their lessons. Arvilla could sit still. Francis Palmer was tardy. Harold Miller tore up the road with his Ford. Charles Semler would not study his lessons. Esther Yoder had a supply of chewing gum. The Juniors and Freshmen were bitter rivals in basketball. Can you imagine the answers? What happens to a person with only hopes? They are hopeless. What happens when a fellow looses his head? He never misses it. Why is a man who never makes a wager as bad as a gambler? He’s no better. OPOrOS Otha: Can you tell me the difference between vi- sion and sight? Jacob: Iam a vision; you are a sight. The tightest person we ever heard of had coffee cups that were rough on the bottom so that when you put in your spoon you imagined there was sugar in it. Paul: My clothing store! My clothing store! Chfton: What happened to your clothing store— burn down? Paul: No, I sat on a nail. My clothing’s tore. Come To Center. One Two It’s good for you. Three Four Your troubles will be o’er. Five Six You’ll learn some tricks. Seven Hight It simply great. Nine Ten Say it again—Center. When troubles come And you miss the nail and hit your thumb; Don’t cry, nor give such a look. You never learned such things in a book. Mr. Osborn: I forgot my umbrella this morning. Mrs, Osborn: How did you come to remember that you had forgotten it? Mr. Osborn: Well, I shouldn’t have missed it, only I raised my hand to shut it when it stopped raining. Schools are many But there’s not any That’s to our hearts so nigh As dear old Center High. Mr. Osborn: Can you tell me what steam is? George: Steam is. Why—er—it’s water that’s gone crazy with the heat. Mrs. Robert Katz was looking for her husband, and, not finding him at the village grocery, she went over to the barber shop. The proprietor met her at the door and inquired what.she wanted. “Bob Katz here?” she asked. “No, ma’am, we do not,” replied the barber as he closed the door. Delmar: Would you—-er—advise me— to— er— marry a beautiful girl or a sensible girl? Ervin: I’m afraid you’ll never be able to marry either. Delmar: Why not? Ervin: Well, a beautiful girl would do better and a sensible girl would know better. Frederick: I thought she was bugs about you! Lloyd B.: I thought so too, but because I looked at some one else she stung me, MR BUG PROPOSES TO MISS BEE Dearest Honeybee, I’m bugs about you. You’re so cootie. Your mother tried to send you away to visit your aunt, but I spider letter. Come! Let us Flea where the Butterflies are and Drone the hours away.
