t v r if I I LA D 1 TA I-1 YA i r 'J I r i , . . E Actwtty HE most important activity of this school is what was once called spooning. The unfortunate beings on this page are not the only ones who take part in this work but they are important because they got their wires crossed. i Park benches are the classrooms for this courseg but any old place from the i cemetery road to the front parlor may be used. Any time when there is moder- P ate privacy is the right time, and even that 's not absolutely necessary. The most proficient students taking this course are: Barbara Biggio, and Leon 5 George and Mary 5 John D. and Carmen S. These have the highest stand- ing just now, but everyone has taken at least part of a course. I These pupils are especially fond of-you guessed it-chaperons, Cespecially the kind that snoop around in dark corners and don 't stay out in the light where ! everyone can see themb. As a sign of their affectionate regard for chaperons, I they have presented a small siren to all Whom they could find. This little horn I honks at every third step and Warns the-jaybirds of the chaperon's approach. i Garey belonged to this class, until he Wore out the football dummy i practicing. Rats Killam also belonged, until he discovered that he didn 't have p a partner. Q if Here is the sweetheart 's version of the bedtime prayer: i Now I lay me down to sleep, Angels guard my loved one's head. If I should die before I wake Donit let her marry that other him instead. This is the chaperon's prayer: Now I lay me down to sleep, Angels, make my eyes sharp. 1 If I should die before I wake Q Please take me where the neckers harp. I l Special courses in chaperon losing were installed, but they were discon- tinued when the official chaperons, Shirley and Mrs. Moore, began to take interest in the sport itself. These courses may be started again if Miss Doss and Miss Hyland can be persuaded to take the classes. Last News!!! Mr. Stapp and Miss De la Garza have joined the classes and are rapidly forging to the front. They will soon have Johnny and Jessie 's place. Page 136 .,,,, ' -.,, W, K

' 'Q 'VLA PITAHAYA iz i W's n'p Screecher HIS, the Screecher section, reveals the students as they really are. These pictures were taken when the victims were not looking but if some of them looked posed it is because they act that way. By the way, these pictures were not all taken at the same time or place. I tell you this so you won 't be alarmed. Gladys' and Barbara have at last realized where they belong, that is why they are in the trash cans. By the expression on Gladyis face she must have seen some one she didn 't like, but Barbara must have seen Leon because she looks so pleased. Those poor girls who are at the other end of these legs saw the pictures that are below them and keeled over. Modest little thingsll? Now guess who they are. Don't let this picture fool you. The girls don 't even know what those working implements are for. They think they look like weapons. But to tell the truth they look as if they would never need them. We want to know what those immodest girls are doing out in the yard dressed like what they are. Now we catch the point. The candles tell us that they may be looking for an honest man. I'd hide my face too, Shirley DaCamara, if I were you. He's almost as immodest as those girls in the picture up above him. Isn't he? This picture of Rats was taken on September morn. From the looks of him he should have drowned when he went down to lave his beauteous carcass. Garey looked up and saw Gladys in the trash can and was overcome with joy. Maybe that accounts for his half-witted expression or it 's possible that he has been hiding his real face from the world and the camera caught him at the right moment.
