That there will be a terrible void in my heart when I leave O’ Lincoln High. That English Literature is a joy for- ever. That Lincoln High would ever have a democratic form of commencement. That Mr. Jackson is’ quite a competi- tor of Will Rogers. That Mr. Marsden carries a Mona Lisa smile. That Mr. Ellison could actually laugh. That Miss Payne was another Marie Dressier. That I would ever be an Alumnus. ARMANDA KIRKENDOLL. Miss Smothers: Why do they s ' end for you to come to the office so often? L. D. Smith: Mr. Ellison and I have been talking over politics.

3Ve w Smiles Alonzo Redmond: Mr. Gaines, I don’t s ' ee how football players ever get clean. Mr. Gaines: Well, what do you sup- pose the scrub teams are for? Mrs. Waters: The right leg of the patient is shorter than the left, which causes him to limp. What would you do in a case of this kind, Arlene ? Arlene Anderson: I’d limp, too. James Ross: My dad gives me a whip- ping nearly every day. Mr. Howell: You should be like George Washington. He didn’t get any lickings. James: Yeah, but he’s getting plenty now. Mr. Howell: How’s that? James: On the back of postage stamps. Tenola Mitchell: What will it cost me to have my car fixed ? Mr. Russell: What’s wrong with it? Tenola: I don’t know. Mr. Russell: Fifty- two dollars and fifty cents. Mr. Bluford: Why are you late, Ros- coe ? Roscoe: The bell rang before I could get here. Miss Morrison: Now the chorus will sing hymn number 18, by special permis- sion of the copyright owners. Miss Mason: Jimmie, what is Roose- velt’s ' first name? James Moore: President. Mr. White: That fellow Jonah was sure nice, wasn’t he? Roscoe Perry: Well, he may have made a good impression with you, but it was a different story in the whale’s ' stomach. Mr. Love: Is it true that when King Solomon had a birthday he had a birth- day cake that has never been surpassed ? Josie Hurse: Yep, one thousand layers. Mr. Thompkins: Of what importance is the yeast plant? James ' Taylor: Good bread and home brew. Mr. Stone: What is the definition of life? Marguerite Pittman: A bowl of cher- ries. Miss Baker: What is the name of your model airplane? James Robinson: “Lucille.” Miss Woods: Whose paper is this? I see no name on it. Ruth Redmond: It’s mine, Miss Woods. See, I have my initials ' on it. Miss Woods: Oh, I see, but I was al- ways taught that R. R. stood for rail- road. Christine: What can I do for a sore heel? Mrs. Waters: Don’t walk. Mr. Howell: Will you vote to abolish capital punishment? Gertrude Whitley: No! Capital pun- ishment was good enough for father and it’s good enough for me. Horace Marshall: My big sister’s boy friend sure knows his stuff when it comes to necking, all right, all right. Merle Herriford: Yeh, my sister’s beau knows all the tricks, too. Last night when I went to peek through the keyhole, he had his hand over it. Victor Norman: Has the depression had any effect on you? Alonzo Redmond: Not at all. I am still getting three hots a day. Mr. Mayberry: James, you are to stay in the room during your lunch hour £or talking. James Taylor: Okey. I can’t eat any- thing but air sandwiches today, anyway. A “Beck” and a call and we leave you all. with a house “To(l)let(t)” for it is too “Small (s).” We had a “Grant” of land, where “Herri- fords” grazed. And our cherished “Green” “Fields,” tilled by “Sampson” were cher- ished. After the “Cole” winter, budding “Young” trees were seen. And wild flowers unkindred by “Potts” endeared each scene. We “Walk-er” “Brown” roads’ on “Foote” day after day. Passing the “Boggs” to which our “Madd-ox” was ' a prey. Nothing there to ward off his danger and so it was, As though water in our “Wells,” for naught! The “Miller,” with his ever busy “Mills,” Are “North” of the “Wood” and over the hill. His friend the “Strong” “Smith”, a labor- ing swain, Strikes “Sparks” with the “Sledge” as if in disdain. But our dear village and country of old, No “Moore” shall we, these sights be- hold.
