Mr. Lowden—I’ve had this car for fifteen years and never had a wreck. Mr. Deagle—You mean that you’ve had that wreck for fifteen years and never had a car. Bertie Dean (having tripped over Bob Gallen)—Hey. big boy. why don’t you put your foot where it belongs? Bob Gallen—Don ' t tempt me, little chum, or I will. Cannibal Kins (rushuig in)—Am I late for dinner? His Wife—Yes. everybody ' s eaten. Miss Janes—Do you like Kipling? Peggy Durst—I don’t know how to kipplc. ♦ Dorothy McEwen—We had a chicken for dinner on Sunday. Jane Flock—Croquette? Dorothy—Sure, do you think we ate it alive? ♦ Mother—What have you been doing all afternoon? Jimmy—Shooting craps. Mother—Why Jimmy, you should be more considerate; those things have as much right to live as you have. Dike father like son; Father is on Board of Education. Son is just bored of education. While marking Gabby Granziol ' s history paper, the teacher came on one space with the picture of a tomb¬ stone in it. On the tombstone were the words: “Sacred to the memory which always deserts me on such oc¬ casions.” Beggar—Have vou got a quarter for a room tonight. Mister? Mr. Knapp— No. Beggar—Got a dime for a sandwich? Mr. Knapp—-No. Beggar—Got a nickel for a cup of coffee? Mr. Knapp—No. Beggar—Say. you’re in a heck of a fix, aintcha? Kenny Jacons was walking through a cemetery when he saw a tombstone marked: NOT DEAD; BUT SLEEPING. Kenny looked at it for a minute and then walked away saying: “Brother, you ain’t fooling nobody but yourself.” An optimist is a man who sees the light that isn’t there; and a pessimist is the darn fool who is trying to blow it out. Who’s Yehudi? He’s the guy who makes the rimless glasses with the invisible lenses for the little man who wasn’t there to read between the lines of the unwritten law.

THE KENCOLL 1941 29 imiiimiiiimn.mi.........iiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiimiitm........... When a pretty hand goes up in Mr. Deagle’s room, why does he smile when he tells Gladys Sutton to keep her hair on. It couldn’t be because Gladys just had her hair cut? ♦ Since Marion Chick moved into the city Stewart Me- Sweeney has become stouter. Long walks are good for you aren’t they Stewart? Who is sending Patricia Watson presents from over¬ seas? Not a corporal, Pat? Can it be that Phyllis Lavery lias fallen at last? Who is the young man who says “Well Hello!” Can it be the mysterious “Dodo”? ♦ Eleanor Webb just loves Don’s wavy black hair. But what about that secret passion? You’re away ahead of us Ellie! ♦ George Lewis has been seen around South Walker- ville quite often lately. An old flame never dies. Just call Jane Baxter “Janey” and watch her blush. ♦ Jean Back has had a far away look in her eye lately. She has been baking cakes and sending them out to the coast. What ' s his name, Jean? Eric Tanner certainly whips out of Trig class in a hurry. “Shirley,” it couldn’t be because Miss Lewis’s locker is just outside the door. Did you realize that while you were enjoying your Easter Holidays Miss Fuller and Miss Burford were still working in the office. ♦ What could George Edwards have been thinking of in Trig. Class when he said that he wanted some figures to work with. Jim Murphy has finally grown a beard. He shaves once a week now from all reports. What young man on the Senior Basketball team sits in a certain Ruth Cunningham’s vestibule very early Saturdavs. The mail man beats a steady path to the Mills’ resi¬ dence with letters from London for Dorothy and from Amhcrstburg for Johnnie. Since there is a blonde boy working in B. M. G., Marjorie Struckett finds lots to buy in said shop. There seems to be an attraction farther down the hall for the local mover Roy Lancaster. Dorothy Pennington writes long letters every week just like Irene Rich “Dear John”. ♦ Gil Patterson had an accident at Loblaws not long ago. The next week the tailor had some business. ♦ Ken Graff takes a stroll in the upper hall every noon. It’s a good thing Joan’s locker is near a drinking foun¬ tain or it would look suspicious. Marcia Woodrow must like fish or is this the wrong Poole. It’s too bad Gene Holloway can’t find green pastures at K.C.I. but has to go to the next farm. ♦ Prosperity has at last come to Irene Kecley. The Wolfe has left her door. ♦ Ted Mallender has found something to do on nites when there is no Frat meeting. Yvonne to know? Dougal and Shepherd.

THE KENCOLL 1941 31 ..MJIMMIIIMIIt.I.I. mil ... Mill.... ....... Ill. . . . Mrs. Jackson—Margaret, haven’t you ever heard ‘Never put off ’til tomorrow what you can do today?’ Margaret—-Do you mean ' The sooner you don’t do it the quicker it’s too late?’ ♦ Ken Kirkwood—Next to a beautiful girl, what do you think is the most interesting thing in the world? Jack Hobbs—When I’m next to a beautiful girl I’m not worrying about statistics. Walt Deanna—Hey Lu what was your ambition as a kid? Lu’ Cudin—To wear long pants; and, brother, if you can find anyone who wears his pants longer than 1 do, I’d like to see him. ♦ Elizabeth Lanspeary—I wish the Lord had made me a man. Tickie Duck—He did; and I’m the man. Mr. Knapp—-How’s the chemistry mark, Don? Donald—Under water. Mr. Knapp—What do you mean. Don—Below C level. We heard about one class that is so dumb that if the pupils stood in a circle they would be raided for being a dope ring. ♦ When shakespeare was on his death bed he refused to be attended by a doctor. He died a natural death. ♦ Kruno Saccaro (after working on an algebra problem for half an hour)—“Doggone it, all that work and the answer is nothing.’’ Judge—“What name?” Humourous Aviator—“Angel, Sir.” Judge—“Where did you come from?” Aviator—“Heaven, Sir.” Judge—“Well! How did you get here?” Aviator—“Slid down a rainbow, Sir.” Judge (grimly)—“Well, take six months for skv lark¬ ing.” Mr. Fox: “What is the most deadly poison known.” Mike F: “Embalming fluid! You’re dead before it touches you.” Mr. Walter:: “I take great pleasure in giving you 85 in English.” Johnnie Mills: “Make it a hundred ancf thoroughly en¬ joy yourself.” ♦ About a hundred years ago A wilderness was here. A huntsman with powder in his gun Went forth to hunt a deer. But now the times have changed somewhat. And on a different plan, A dear with powder on her nose, Goes forth to hunt a man. ♦ ♦ Pauline Buchanan: “What’s a twip?” Marie Wright: “Not being one; I wouldn’t know.” Pauline B.: “A twip is a wide on a twain.” Mr. Thomson: “Ray, what is dust? Pvay Smith (after much thought): Mud with the water squeezed out.” ♦ ♦ All men arc born free and equal, but some of them grow up and get married. ♦ After the quiz sheets were distributed, one of our English Guests was about the ask Mr. Riggs what was meant by “Post Office eliminated.” One of his fellow students furnished the information. We wonder what they call it over there? Scene: Bob Hope’s program. There is a sound of swishing waves—then silence. Colona: Water on the knee.
