28 THE CHRONICLE Helen Barry informed the Ancient History Class that her historical biography was to be on Pluto. (Just an example of how the movies affect the modern generation.) Did you hear Mr Nettleton’s emphatic command to the girls’ Glee Club “Don’t hold mea!” Said he to a friend sitting on a chimney: “You’re going to get all black sitting up there.” Answered the friend :“Soots me, all right.” Exchange Words of wisdom from Eddie O’Connell, heard during a courtesy talk: “When you're walking, pick up your feet and walk upon your whole sole.” Soulful, indeed! “When saying good morning to a teacher, call her by her last name instead of her first.” Not Long! Papoose: “Baw-aw-aw, I want a drink of water!” Mother Eskimo: “Hush, dear! It’s only six months until morning.” Exchange D. Cooper: “I'm as tall as you.” Cass: “No, you're not; your head doesn't come to my shoulder.” Cooper: “Well, I'm as tall as you are the other way; my feet go down as far as yours.” Mother (to teacher): “Is my boy really trying?” Teacher (earnestly): “Very.” Exchange

THE CHRONICLE 29 Dried Fruit The teacher had forbidden the eating of candy and chewing of gum during school time. One day she became suspicious of a lump in Jimmie’s cheek. “Jimmie, are you eating candy or chewing gum?” she asked. “No,” replied Jimmy, “I’m just soaking a prune to eat at recess.” Exchange Teacher: “Why do you insist on spelling bank with a capital B?” Johnny: “Well, father told me that a bank is no good unless it has a big capital.” Exchange As A. Penci was rather noisy in the library, the librarian told him to return to his study hall. His pass was signed, and as he took it, he said, “Thank you.” The librarian replied, “You’re welcome.” Penci then remarked, “If I were welcome, I could stay.” John D.
