T HE ORBIT. 23 L. Grubb: (U. S. History.) After throwing up the fort Wash- ington was able to go on.” Leitnaker: What a spendthrift is he of his tongue.” Miss D. (to Sophs.): Please double up when you go out of my room.” Voice resembling Karl Griffiths: Please excuse me.” Song of the Sophs. Cram, cram, cram, I wish that I were dead, Cram, cram, cram. For geometry we’re bled. A brilliant Soph., explaining an original in Geometry: Describe an arc. then draw the cord, wind up the cord and proceed as before. MissC.: (Latin), MissGraham will you please stand to one side, the class would like to see the board! Miss Perfect: (Eng.) Mark out the last sentence you read. It is incorrect. Two endings are wrong and the sentence is not begun properly. R. Gaffney: That’s strange. I copied it right out of the book.” Freshman Logic: (1) Laziness kills time.” (2) Time is money.” (3) Money is the root of all evil, therefore laziness is a boon to mankind.” [Ex. Rhea Denton: Though her face is exceedingly fair. Young man you had better be- ware The letters you’ve written Whiles’t more or less smitten She'll read to a jury—so there.” A Tribute. The Lancaster High School is cnaracterized by an esteemed fac- ulty, exceeding bright students, and an industrious janitor, which has been considered a luxury in the institutions of America during the twentieth century. The degree of Bachelor of the Mop” and the title of Knight of the Mower and Cycle” ought to be conferred upon him for past ser- vices faithfully rendered. He is the Lancelot of its school court and may be seen in summer strut- ting up and down the shady side of the school building pushing his cruel five bladed sword with grace and ease, cutting the stalwart blades—of grass—to the earth. With his grim reaper he strikes sturdier blows than did ever Rich- ard with his battle ax or Arthur with his charmed brand. Excali- ber. He is the proud possessor of an iron bound will (also iron bound spectacles) and is a blooming good janitor (as his name im- plies.) This knightly genius is held an enemy of bits of dirt and dust by the obligations of a sacred oath taken when a youth before three prelates and five popes. However may the students never grow weary of seeing the beaming countenance and iron gray beard of this maker of order and history. R. Vorvs, TO. Little drops of nonsense. Little grains of fun. Make a mighty uproar When Brashares is done. Mighty are the billows Rolled from shore to shore. Frightened are the skippers When the storm is o'er.
