30 THE ALARM 1923 Lyle would much rather read than study. A magazine or newspaper is, and always will he, a thousand times more welcome than any amount of Caesar’s Commentaries or English classes. School books should be more thrilling. Don’t you think so, Lyle? Now 1 came to the end of my list. No, Janice is not forgotten. YVe all will remember her love for amusement. Recall English II and you will remember Janice. This ends the history of the Sophomores. Don’t you agree with us that we have a most extraordinary class and history? E. A. ’25. A FRESHMAN’S DICTIONARY. Athlete—A dignified bunch of muscles, unable to split wood or sift ashes. Bonnets—A female head-trouble, which is contracted the latter part of Lent and breaks out at Easter. F-xcitement—Condition existing, when a teacher “springs” an unexpected test. I rishmen—Raw material, used, for experimental purposes, by the teachers. !'acuity—The rulers of our destiny and the over-rulers of our plans. Illness—The only good excuse, when you over-sleep in the morning. Queen—A Freshman girl, after his first call. Spring fever—A plague, which attacks the student body. Fest—An ordeal, occuring semi-occasionallv. A guessing contest. H (J,'ds—Written symbols, supposed, by the ancients, to express ideas. CONCERNING WOMEN. Once upon a time I Tho’t I understood women ; But alas! I found That, if you flatter a woman, She thinks you’re lying, And, if you don’t flatter her, She picks out someone who will. If you make love to her. She acts as if she isn’t that kind; And, if you don’t, she thinks You’re terribly slow. If you agree with her in everything. She thinks you’re not a leader; And, if you don’t she cries Because she can’t have her own way. If you’re jealous of her, She thinks you’re a foolish boy; But. if you’re not.... She thinks that you don’t care. If you smoke, she doesn’t want you to; And, if vou don’t, she thinks you’re a kid. If you’re affectionate, she thinks You’ll tire of her kisses; And, if you’re not, She thinks you don’t love her. If you’re just a “good” boy, She wonders why you don’t go farther; If you do, she gets insulted or. . . .pretends she is. If you go out with other girls, She thinks you like them best; And, if you don’t— She thinks you can’t get any other dates. So tell me—What, oh, what! IS MERE MAN GOING TO DO?

THE ALAR M 1923 29 The History and Prophecy of the Sophomore Class E, the Sophomores, as well as having the largest class, have the most interesting class of old Manlius High. Though just two years of our high school days have passed, we have shown our abilities in many ways. We aim to make our Junior and Senior years even better, although it is hardly possible. First, I must mention two of the most important members of our class. Who are they? Surely you know? Dan, the all-star player, who takes more interest in basketball and “ I la” than in anything else, and Norman, our football star, who has vowed that Thelma will never change her name. These are the most successful couples of the year of 1922—1923. Just ask them. Mable is planning to leave us. You probably know why. Ike will surely feel sad, but as long as Leo is leaving too, maybe Judy will comfort Ike. Good luck, Judy. Kenneth is the renowned “Freckles Barry” of our class, and we think he will be a great actor some day. Gladys, our all-star whisperer, likes to make Mr. Larson mad. She certainly succeeds, sometimes. We all look up to Art. Not out of respect, though, but because we have to. He wants to lose in height. Maybe Eugene will tell him how. Is Eugene in our class? Of course. Yes, he is small and somewhat bashful, but, nevertheless, is needed to make our class complete. Arminnie and Helen are forever whispering, when the teacher’s back is turned. Arminnie probably tells Helen things about Cecil. Have no idea who Helen talks about. For one who loves to play, “Shorty” wins the prize. He enjoyed the banquet especially well. I wonder why. Probably on account of Viva. Eh, “Shorty”? An addition was made to our class when Melvina entered last fall. Melvina has many charms, but there is not a chance left, since “someone” has already became attached to her, whose love is returned. Vernon is a second Caruso and no doubt will be a great singer some day. The song, “ I o-morrow,” had its charms when he sang it, as Hazel Nelson is always singing it now. There’s a reason. No one knows who is I la Hartz’s prospect. I have tried to find out, so I might disclose it in this history, but my endeavors have been in vain. I la is sensible—always keeps “such things” to herself. Tracy, like “Shorty,” is a great lover of amusements. He might be a second C barley Chaplin, but I hardly think so. It is more probable that he will teach Caesar. Marsella is one who will set the world to thinking some day. She believes in the saying, “Where there’s a will there’s a way,” and, when a task is assigned her, she at once tries to find the way. I don’t know who or what her porspect is. Ask her, and “maybe” you’ll find out. Blanche is the nightingale of our class. Her voice has appealed to many, especially Jack. It seems to have a wonderful influence upon him. An interesting and unusual member of our class is Delmar. He is unusually quiet, and it might be that the old saying, “Still waters run deep,” is true of him. 1 hardly believe so. Doesn't this sound better? “But when you get him alone, you’d be surprised.” Of course it does. Prudy still thinks of “Flanders,” and wonders when he will return. Don’t blame her, do you? She is in society now, having made her debut at the Manlius Annual Banquet.
