THE WISE OLD OWL OBSERVES THAT: The M. H. S. girls are wearing sus- penders. Hence the appearance of father’s Christmas presents of a few years back. The Biology students are all ex- cited over finding specimens of the pine tree blossom. Perhaps that ac- counts for their being “stuck up” lately. The appearance of our new school mate, Gilbert Garland, has caused quite a furor among the girls. They have originated a new guessing game as to which suit Gilbert will wear next. “Pie” Brayden has been taking up golf lately. I wonder if this advertise- ment in the Acton paper had any- thing to do with him. “Five dollars reward for informa- tion as to the cause of so many broken windows at Fletcher Corner.” Easy way to make five dollars. Ss-h-h Pie!! The Decorations of the Junior Class were quite original, — but the Old Owl would like to know what Junior posed for the silhouettes. “Scotty” and “Marje” Murphy were typical farmerettes at the Com- petition. Who was having a sale on overalls as we all want some now. Enlighten us, Scotty! The Senior Class has quite a menagerie, with roosters and rats and what not. The Old Owl offers a suitable reward for the first person who can make that rooster cackle. Perhaps he had stage fright ! Normie Walker had quite an outfit in the Junior Play, but Normie, “where did ya get the hat, where, oh where, oh where” Sirkka seems quite lonesome 6th study period. I wonder where “Si” is? “Katie” Bariteau was out with somebody special on the holiday. Per- haps that accounts for her high spirits Friday morning. We can’t imagine: — Walker without a girl. “Pie” without Tyyne. Melville Mosher on time. “Al” Connors without his wave. Miss Thompson forgetting to make an assignment. Mary Kane not talking. John Hearon a baseball star. Joe Sczerzen without his suspenders. Gilbert wearing the same suit. Miss Thompson advocating the Bos- ton American. Senior Class reading the “Mentor” or the “Forum.” The Dancing School pupils without their partners. A school without exams. Jane Boicourt getting an F.
