GETTING EVEN Hey, Bill, your doctor's out here with a fiat tire, and wants to know what it's going to cost him, announced the garage owner's assistant. Diagnose the case as flatulency of the perimeter, and charge him five dollars, came the answer. One hears a great deal about the absent-minded professor, but it would be hard to find one more absent-minded than the dentist who said, soothingly, as he applied a monkey wrench to his automobile, Now, this is going to hurt just a little. A MUDDLED CONDITION The world used to be round: now it's fiat, and we are waiting for it to get square. VVe understand that Congress has appropriated 810,000 to eradicate the squirt from grape fruit, but nothing is being done to cultivate a non-skid surface on green peas. Just being happy, Is a fine thing to do: Looking on the bright side, Rather than the blue: Sad or sunny musing Is largely in the choosing, And just being happy Is brave work and true. She never passes a mirror without looking into it. Brave girl. Allen Steele: Gee! My bones ache. Stella L.: Yes, headaches are a nuisance, aren't they? Alice Ferris: Why, it's only six o'clock. I told you to come after supper. Smokey: Well, that's what I came after. lPage One Hundred Twenty-sevenl

THE BELLES OF MANUAL With untold sorrow, I dread the morrow, To say good-bye to the Manual belles, Whose charms so oft' Would, through days of boyhood, Fling o'er my studies their magic spells. They are surely clever, and backward never, . . And decked forever in the latest styleg Oh, the belles of Manual Cjust see our Annuall 'Have the Zeigfeld Follies skinned a mile. There are belles at West, who look their best, Likewise at North and South and East, All are wondrous fair, when they take the air, And to eyes of others may be a feast. But my thoughts compelling, and tear-drops Welling, And memory dwelling on each fond wile, The belles of Manual Qjust see our Annuall Have the Zeigfeld Follies skinned a mile. There are belles in Frisco that run a risk o' Obstructing the traflic to Hollywood, And the belles of Boston, with lots of frost on, At fancy dressing are all to the good. On this I ponder, where'er I wander, And then grow fonder, and proudly smile, For the belles of Manual Qjust see our Annualj Have the Zeigfeld Follies skinned a mile. -Benjamin Douglas, '22. A teacher once asked a boy to translate this passage: A band of exiles landed their bark on the New England coast. The boy spoke up and rattled off: Some ban- ished musicians landed their dog on the coast of New England. Mr. Rhoads: You girls do not realize the importance of a few dates now and then. Ethyl P. Cunder breathbz Um, I like them kind. Stella L.: Mrs, Peck, what is a self-feeding stove? Mrs. Peck: It doesn't mean that it goes down the cellar after the coal. Stella L.: Oh! You must really put something aside for a rainy day. I have. What is it ? An umbrella. MOVIE SCRIPTURES Gather the people together, men, women, and children. -Deut. 31:12.

We said it with music, art, beautiful diction, We said it with truth, and We said it with fiction. Alas! now we're wed and are tending our brood, Most of our time we just say it with food! H It Father Cto Gordonl: What does that 55, mean on your report card? E Gordon: That was the temperature ofthe room the clay we took exams. l M-4The man who invented suspenders did a great deal to uphold the dignity- of'his country. ' , . Father: I just caught that son of ours shooting craps. Mother: Well, I told you not to bring him that gun for his birthday. It is dangerous to change horses in the middle of a stream. BUT more dangerous to change your mind in the middle of the street. IPage One Hundred Twenty-sikl
