THE SCREECH OWL 21 “The Abhis” Abington High School, Abington, Mass. We welcome you to our exchange lists. You have an enviable Language Department. Evidently the students of Abington High are serious minded, since we note the scarcity of jokes. “The Red and Black” Rogers High School, Newport, R. I. We see that you are still keeping up the good work. Pat the Senior has not yet exhausted his ever ready sup- ply of wit and humor. “The Item” Dorchester High School for Girls, Dorchester, Mass. Commendations to your Exchange Editors! They are very diplomatic with their gentle advice mixed with fluent praise. Your whole magazine breathes spirit and pep. “The Oriel” Westboro High School, Westboro, Mass. Your teachers must be very near and dear to you since you have dedi- cated one publication of your maga- zine to them. It would perhaps honor them a little more if you wrote a dedication to them in your paper. ECHOES FROM OUR EXCHANGES A landlord wrote to his tenant — “Dear Sir, I regret to inform you that my rent is much overdue. Will you please forward me a check?” Back came the reply — “Dear Sir: I see no reason why I should pay your rent. I can’t pay my own.” MacDonald: “And how’s the world been treating you lately?” MacDougall: “Verra seldom, Mac, verra seldom.” “The Distaff.” Waiter: Pie sir? W. T. : Is it customary ? Waiter: No apple. Gray Purnell: I’ve added these fig- ures up ten times, Sir. Mr. Cook: Fine, fine! Gray Purnell : And here are the ten answers, sir. “The Stampede.” In court the other day a lawyer turned to the opposing counsel and said angrily: “You are the biggest idiot I ever saw in my life!” Where- upon the judge gravely remarked: “Silence sir! Please do not forget that I am present.” “The Ora nge and Black.” Father: Why were you kept in at school ? Son : I didn’t know where the Azores were. Father: In the future just remem- ber where you put things. Knutt: “The doctor says I must stop smoking. I am poisoning myself to death.” Mrs. Knutt: “Oh, dear, John can’t you hold out until we get enough coupons for that dining room rug?” “The Item.” A Scotchman visiting America was watching the statue of George Washington, when an American ap- proached. “That was a great man, Sandy,” said the American, “A lie never passed his lips.” “Weel,” said Sandy, “I praysume he talked through his nose like the rest of ye.” “The Reflector.” He : Where did you skate most when you were learning? She: I think you’re horrid.
