What we all think we have. An attempt to say that you we-re 'going to say that which you meant to say you could say. Predominant in Freshmen this year. Stuffed till you ache, yet know naught. Something the teachers think we should have. Ancisnt custom that will mean our ruination. A troublesome omganization. One wiho knows all about you but still likes you. Set of numbers between 0 and 100. Some varieties are as yet undiscovered lbyf most of us. An expensive luxury. A good excuse for absence. What you do the day you have a headache, 'Ilhe distance a horse can carry a lb. of water in an hr. Frozen water-slick side up. Another Freshman trick. A knowing student who expects to graduate in 1927. A group of words, familiarlyl arranged, at which one is sup- posed to laugh. Month when trouble ends for a short time. Nothing, divided by two. An art long out of good use in M. H. S. A day off from class. A period of respite durring' which a hearty m-sal is eaten. Old-fashioned word meaning galoshes or skippers. We'l. look at the Freshmen.

Art of lying gracefully Cnot pinned up J. A good grade for a good joke in the Annuall. A large empty space where the Pope lives. What we do in school ibut the :faculty doesn't think sol. The Persian king who--oh, well, he was a Persian king. A part of the body commonly known as the mouth. The way Kruse runs.
