PILOT 3 THE VALUE OF VUCATIONAL GUIDANCE The success of an individual depends largely upon his educational background. Only recently have high school faculty advis- ors realized the importance of stressing voca- tional guidance. They urge each student to choose that course which will most benefit him in later years. Because every normal person IHUSI at some time earn his own livelihood, it becomes necessary for him to labor at some vocation. Although some individuals work at odd jobs and seem to make well at them, the most successful persons work in some specific field. To get the most from this position they must have a thorough knowledge of all the facts concerned with it. Of course, one can not expect to secure all this knowledge in a public high school: but what he does study in high school, if he chooses the right subjects, can be of great benefit in going for- ward in that work. Some students do not know or care what they will do after graduating from high school, the teachers, in having the students make a special study of vocations, help them to decide on a specific Held of work for which they are best fitted. In this study, they Find the amount of education required, special training requirements, how to obtain and finance this training, the probability of getting and keeping a position, working expenses, probable earnings and extent of opportunities offered in these vocations which are of interest to them. This training also helps one to choose that field of work which is not already overcrowded. The value he receives from vocational guidance is probably not realized by a student until a few years after graduation, but then he truly appreciates the help and guidance given him by his teachers. MAUDE L. STaoUT ,-11. Y O U I Nothing is impossible! No goal is unattainable! You will probably say that whoever first uttered those words was much too optimistic but you will find that concen- trated efifort will overcome any impediments to your climb to success. You may avoid many unpleasant things and run away from worries and responsibility, but no man can for one instant during his conscious life, put aside his own character and disposition. The undesirable traits which are omnipresent in mankind can only be changed through much thought and hard work. Sad, but true, is the fact that the majority of persons today notice only the faults of their associates and endeavor to remedy them, rather than search out their own faults and eliminate them. No man is perfect but many of us will agree that we could all become more nearly perfect if we tried. To really improve one's self is a threefold job. VVhen any piece of handiwork is to be improved, the article is appraised and notes are taken as to possibilities of betterment. As you appraise yourself, you find not one Iohn but three to be taken into considera- tion. The first is the I' john as God made him. This is the one to be altered. Next is lohn's lohn n, or you as you see yourself. Too many times, 'KIohn's Iohnf' possesses many valuable assets not represented in the real Ulohnn. Already our job has been increased by one-hundred per cent, as many possibilities for improvement in Iohn's Iohn' are not visible to 'fIohn himself. The third is f'Thomas,s Iohnn or you as 4 M. F. H. S. PILOT othcrs see you. If Iohn U attempts to mold himself to 'K Thomas's specifications he will soon find the three Iohns clashing in mortal combat. Some authorities say that it is not what we are that counts, but what other people think we are. This I openly dispute. True, what people think of us is often a determining factor in our struggle for success, but your true self is what you have to contend with during your entire life. For your own benefit, as well as for that of others, try to make yourself as nearly perfect as possible. If you make any changes in your personal peculiarities, they must be made in the early stages of your life as the longer a habit prevails, the greater is the difliculty in breaking it. Profit by advice and your character will slowly take shape under the deft hands of experience. CARLETON C. QUINN '42.

MILTON PURINGTON in .QULU-1:66 The Senior Class' loss was Uncle Sam's gain when Milton Purington left with the 103rd Infantry of the National Guard for Florida. N Leaving with the local battalion March 17th, after a sendoff by the citizens, he remained in Portland until March 24th, when he entrained for Camp Blanding. Milton was born March 5, 1921, and attended the local schools. By striving industriously during the first part of the year, he completed his high school course in a remark- ably short time and, although training in the South, he will receive his diploma. He was an active participant in school athletics, espe- cially football and basketball, and was the highest scorer in the county tournament held here during the last year. At present Milton is a private but those who are acquainted with him believe that a person with the personal- ity and character which he possesses will go far, and conse- quently they expect a promotion for him soon. The students and faculty of Mechanic Falls High School wish him the best of luck during his training and are impatiently awaiting the happy day when he will return. M. F. H. S.

SOPHOMORE CLASS CLASS OFFICERS President Shirley Keene Vice-President Iohn Trinward Secretary Dorothy McMoran Treasurer Florence Grant The Sophomore Class enjoyed a wienie roast at Tripp Lake during the Fall term. On November 15th the Sophomore Social was held. A large crowd attended and two plays were presented, Do You Remem- ber? and Midnight Fantasy . A Christmas party was held December 13th in the afternoon. Refreshments were served and dancing and games were enjoyed by everyone. The class rings and pins arrived after Christmas vacation. They are very nice and everybody is well satisfied. This year the Sophomore Class lost four members, Melba Hood, Arnold Miles, Roger Elliott, and Iosephine Rowe. We have one new member, Albert Merrill. Our class stood up well in the inter-class basketball games. The girls were champions and the boys won the Hrst game but lost the Finals. FRESHMAN REPORT S.

CAMERA CLUB A new club was organized by Miss Wells, English teacher, this year. This was the Camera Club. Iiach member paid 25 cents for the year's dues. The money furnished equipment for developing and printing pic- tures. At the end of the year the members were able to take pictures more successfully as well as to develop and print them. This club proved very successful and we hope it will oontinue in the school. DRAMATICS The Annual Senior Drama was presented December 13th at the High School Audito- rium. lt was a greater success than it has been for many years in spite ot the fact that it was given on Friday the 13th. We enjoyed working with the coaches, Mrs. Mains and Mrs. Adams, and we feel that this helped to make the play a success. The name of the play was For Pete's Sake and the cast included: Pete Always in hot water Roy lfrazee Miss Sarah Pepperdine. Peter! Aunt Louise Shaw Jasmine jackson.

A great many students attended the Home Economics Club. Each member chose a hobby and worked on it during meetings. Miss Giddinge was the supervisor. BOYS' OUTING CLUB The Boys' Outing Club was formed dur- ing the latter part of the year by Mr. Mor- rison. The boys were very active and enjoyed many short trips although they had been organized only a short time. No dues were required but each member volunteered to pay 10 cents each meeting, which went toward the longer trip at the end of the year. The ollicers are: President, Richard Klaing Secretary, Carleton Quinn, and Treas- urer, Robert Goss. 'I 1' II Q PIIOT 21 .v. '. . SENIOR DRAMA VAST Sitting --A if Keene, K. Ililmztn. li.

SCIENCE CLUB This was another club organized mostly for the interest of the boys. A few girls attended. Each meeting they tried to discuss some subject that would be interesting. Ioyce Cole is the president and Mr. Morrison is the instructor. PRIZE SPEAKING Prize Speaking was held this year as it has been in previous years. The Prize Speaking finals took place at the high school auditorium on February 13th. The speakers were chosen at a preliminary contest held lanuary 8th and 9th, This con- test, although open to the whole school, was compulsory for the Iuniors. The coaches were: Miss Nelson, Mrs. Adams, and Mrs. Mains. The speakers were: Elon Bradford, Ieannette Plummer, Pauline Storer, Elizabeth Tees, Hazel Austin, Flor- ence Grant, and Ioyce Cole. The prizes were given to the following speakers: Hazel Austin-lst prize, gold medalg Ioyce Cole - 2nd prize, silver medal, and Florence -Grant - 3rd prize, bronze medal. FRENCH CLUB The French Club was instructed by a com- petent leader, Mrs. Mains. During club meetings all talking and reading was done in French, which helped the members to increase their knowledge of this subject. This club not only furnished amusement but enabled a student to converse in French. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club this year was under the supervision of Mrs. Adams, head of the Com- mercial Department. The club was com- posed of girls only, who met every Tuesday afternoon. We made the club more interesting by writing short biographies of each composer whose music we sang. We also wrote verses to be set to music. 32 Bl. F. H S. PILOT SPOTLIGHT STAFF First row -- O. Farr, H. Austin, M. Purington, A. Keene, F. Grant, B. Merrill. Second row-C. Keene, R.

We hope that this club continues in years to come, as it is one of the best attended activities in the high school. ORCHESTRA We have been pleased to have a small but good orchestra this year. The members have shown excellent cooperation and much praise is due to our teacher, Miss Giddinge. The orchestra held its rehearsals every Monday during the activity period. The orchestra furnished music at the Parent- Teachers, Association and also at Prize Speaking in the high school. The members of the orchestra are: Lewis Iordan, Elizabeth Tees, Marguerite Puring- ton, Wallace Andrews, Rupert Robbins, Alton Russell, Frederick Gagne, Hazel Aus- tin, Helen Gagne, Patricia Reilly, Shirley Abbott, Gloria Harwood, Hazel Keene, and Thelma Prince. COMMERCIAL CLUB A commercial club was reorganized this year by Mrs. Adams. The following officers were elected: President, Anita Welch, Vice- President, Norman Sawyer, Secretary, Hazel Coleman, and Treasurer, Glenn Fifield. lt was agreed that we should pay any amount of money possible for dues each meeting. This went toward a party at the end of the year. There were few members, but enough to make the meetings interesting. Anita Welch '4 l . M. F. H. S. PILOT 23 H 1 Hl'f.TiC BOYS' ATHLETICS Although the results of most of the inter- scholastic activities were somewhat against the Mechanic Falls boys, they by no means tell the whole story. None of the victories of the opposing teams was easily gained, because the fine teamwork and sportsmanship exhib- ited by participants made each contest close. Sports officially got under way on Septem- ber 27 when the football team traveled to Winthrop and the Cross Country squad ran at Lisbon Falls. Both teams, however, suf- fered defeats. The football squad, ably directed by Coach Coach Morrison's first call for basketball, on November 18, was answered by 25 pros- pective players. During the first of the sea- son their victories weren't very numerous, but in the latter part they defeated Casco. Especially in the tournament they did very well, ending a close second to Livermore Falls in the Final game. During the year the squad was slightly handicapped by loss of players due to injuries, or sickness. The squad was composed of: C. Quinn, H. Allard, D. DeBiase, R. Goss, C. Iordan, M. Purington, R. Iordan, I. Quinn, R. Klain, I. Trinward, and R. Kyllonen, R.

F. H. S. harriers were less successful than last year. Under the diligent management of Coach Edwards they placed well in the State meet held at Bates College. The team was as follows: W. Greenwood. E. Bradford, W. French, I. Trinward, W. Bradford, L. Iordan, R. Thayer, I. Palardis, L. Fitts, and F. Whittier. With the coming of Spring, baseball will get under way once more. As the team did not lose many members by graduation, the prospects for a winning team are good this year. A great deal of credit is due to Coach Morrison, Mr. Diehl, and Mr. Edwards for the work and interest displayed in our ath- letics and we wish to thank them for their unfailing assistance.

Miss Wells deserves much credit and praise for the excellent way in which she coached the team, and we thank Mrs. Adams, assist- ant coach, lor the able assistance and help which she gave us. This year the team is losing three of its members, Kathleen Gilman, Anita Welch, and Lyda Mitchell. The remaining squad is: Elizabeth Tees, Marguerite Purington, Hazel King, Glenna Whittemore, Phyllis Bartlett, Dorothy McMoran, Norma Rowe, and Rachel Morton.

ONE NATION INDIVISIBLE At a time of supreme crisis, one of our great Americans declared: United we stand, divided we fall. Today we again feel the need of close cooperation in the face of great European powers that, with subtle propa- ganda and malicious underhand methods, would destroy the unity that has grown only through the bloodshed and sacrifice of strug- gles like those in 1860 and 1914. We have come a long way since the Pil- grims landed in 1620 and since such men as Washington, Iefferson, and Lincoln contrib- uted their share to make us one nation indi- visible . We have been 300 years together in mak- ing a country that stands for Democracy with such a firm foundation that it cannot be rocked by Dictators in far off countries. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address H shows us clearly his vision of unity. -- govern- ment of the people, for the people, and by the people, shall not perish from the earth. Every time we salute the national flag we solemnly afhrm that Liberty and Iustice, those sacred privileges that distinguish us from the suffering countries of the world, are based on the firm foundation of unity. There are several ways in which unity may be established, and each and every one of them demands that the individual do his part. America is composed of rugged individ- uals, who are, however, first and foremost, individual American citizens. In America we have established unity in our homes where we Find loyalty and security with our families. Unity in our churches, where we observe our most sacred privilege, that of freedom to worship God. Unity in our schools, where we receive not blind, but real, character building educa- tion. Unity in our Red Cross organization, which stands prepared to give help in time of need to all, regardless of class, race, or belief. Unity in our organizations which pro- vide protection to all orphans. Unity in our numerous programs, such as: N. R. A., the W. P. A., and our various youth programs. Unity in our labor unions, where mis- understandings can be settled without strikes, and in our fire-fighting units, soldiers who stand for the protection they are prepared to give up at all times. Unity in our Girl and Boy Scout programs, and in our conservation program which gives employment to thousands of young men. Unity in further development of our great Defense Plan which, when completed, will give to each and every citizen of the United States of America, the greatest protection in all the world. Unity in the state and its connection with the national government. M. F. H. S. PILOT 27 Through these we learn cooperation that may be carried over into the big union of our 48 states. Originally, when the thirteen states fought to preserve their independence and integrity, the problem was much simpler. Today we have three times that number, all of which, with their individual interests, problems, and loyalty, desire recognition. They are con- cerned with particular questions of com- merce, climate, traditions, politics, all of which tend to isolate them from the common cause, yet in the progress of civilization, there have also developed methods of communica- tion and transportation that tend to make us a nation individual. We have only to look at the E Pluribus Unum which we see every day on our money to remind us that we are, out of many, one H. The oneness of this nation is symbolized by the Flag of the United States of America, and every time we salute the Hag, we salute the whole country. Words cannot be found any more appropriate than those used in our National Anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner . O long may it wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Liberty and Iustice and all that America means to us, come only through sacrifice on our part. Let us forever stand one for all and all for one , and with holy reverence remember when storm clouds gather far across the sea, let us pledge allegiance to a land that is free . Yes. God bless America. Americans must do more than just pledge allegiance, we must live it in every thought, word, and deed. All this helps to make our nation one that stands for Democracy, the one nation indi- visible . I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Gloria Harwood '44, THE BLIZZARD The storm had been threatening all day. The cold gray sky, the grim light created by it, the penetrating chill and the low moaning and creaking of the trees all foretold the coming disaster. It began to manifest itself more and more by midafternoon. The drab clouds seemed to settle even lower and the wind increased in force. About four o'clock the gale suddenly stopped and left the world as silent and eerie as a tomb. The unnatural light created a feeling of some awful happening. Then, as suddenly as it had stopped, the wind began again. This time it was accompanied by the minute, hard snowflakes that precede a long snowfall, and that sting human Hesh like fire. The wind increased until it became a whin- ing, shrieking wail that bent and swayed the trees until they seemed to be at the breaking point. The snow increased too, both in density and in the size of the Hakes. At the end of a half hour it was so thick, that to see more than tweny feet was an impossibil- ity. The darkness now closed in and obliterated all. There seemed to be no escape, no refuge from the gale and snow. It penetrated the thickest bushes, it swirled into the innermost recess of overhanging rocks, it pierced even the tiniest crack in the walls of the cabin by the river. Night passed and the bleak dawn finally came, revealing no let-up in the raging storm. The wind was just as strong and the snow fell as fast as it had the previous night. No living creature stirred about. The elements were raging so, that none could live any length of time without some protection. On the morning of the third day, however, the wind had abated and the snow stopped. By mid-morning the sun had broken through the last thick bank of clouds, brightening a new world now transformed beyond recogni- tion. Of the cabins on the river, nothing was visible but the roofs, the trees were so heavily laden with snow that they resembled huge piles of it. Beneath the trees lay the vast, unbroken expanse of snow, now sparkling in the bright sunlight. Edward Frost '4l. 28 ' M. F. H. HAPPY DAY 'L Good morning, Pete, Miss Anderson, the English teacher, greets me. Sl'1e's beam- ing all over, like I'm her brother or somethin'. I answers without thinking, Yeah, ain't itf, and walks on. I've gone about two steps before I realize that somethin' is wrong. The whole set-up is screwy. I looks at my watch. Eight o'clock. Ilm twenty minutes early. I glances down at my clothes. Shoes are shined, pants pressed, flashy shirt and tie--hair combed. I ain't taken much notice of who spoke to me. Let me tell you, I turns around pretty quick. She's still there, smilin' at me. Oh--oh yes, I stammers. It cer- tainly is a fine morning. QYou hafta use the Kingis English when you're talkin' with the fakulty, just to let ,em know you ain't so dumb yourself.j, I beats it, scared she'll change her mind. I takes the corner too sharp. Then I looks down at the floor to see just who the guy is who bumped inta me. I am plenty sore. But I changes my mind awful sudden. The principul is a pretty big feller. Gosh! Am I scared! I almost pass out. Then he starts talking. Say, Pete, fwell for P P P -always before it's been Mr. Harrisonj will you please come to the office this morning in an hour? It ain't the cold March wind that makes me shiver. Wh - what for, I blurts out. Why don't he bawl me out now? Well, you've been doing so well in your subjects lately that I've decided to let you do a little office work now. Perhaps you may correct papersf' He ain't laughing at me, neither. I stumbles on in a daze. S. PILOT The science prof stops me on the stairs. He's got a butt in his mouth, dangling down like it belongs there. Have a weed, Pete,', he says. And passes me the pack. And lights a match. I don't say nothin'. I'm in the mist. I look around for the little guys in white uni- forms to come to get me. I whispers to him, It ain't allowed. 6' Ain't it? U He acts surprised. First I ever heard about it. He looks as though he means it. I canit catch on. What's your racket? i' I asks him point- blank, determined to Hnd out what's the answer. Why, er, - - U I guess he don't know what I'm raving about. I-Ie backs from me like I got the itch. What a funny light you've got in your eyef' he squeaks. And turns and runs. Gosh! Pretty soon Iill be getting scared of me, too. I pass the bulletin board. There's my name in big letters. Peter Harrison elected model boy. There,s some more, too, but I'm a too modest guy to go spoutin' about me. It does look pretty swell, though. I'm feel- in, good. I starts to whistle. It may be An Apple for the Teacher which I'm tweetin'. I dunno. I ain't much on this bird stuH. Comes a light cuff on the ear. I stops tweetin'. Somebody shakes me. I looks up. The principul don't look like he's very happy right now. I looks around. They're all laughin' at me. I looks down at me. Well, I'l be - - ! Say, how d'y suppose I ever got here at my desk? Sparky Score '42. M. F. H. S. PILOT 29 POETRY DE THE MASQUERADE Everyone has been to a masquerade Where many queer characters are on parade. Streamers and lanterns deck the hall, It's really a gay and jovial ball. 'Dhe guests are disguised with small black masks, To guess their identity is quite a ta.sk. They change their voices, manners and ways. The costumes date back to by-gone days. First there's a Robin Hood with Little John, Next there's Lady Guinevere with a wig on. Old tramps and pirates dance around, They fill the room with a variety of sound. A prize is given to Rip Van Winkle, The bell for refreshments begins to tinkle. The guests assemble and partake of the lunch, They all start homeward, -an odd looking bunch. G. S. '43. There once was a young girl named Jean, Whom everyone thought was a dream. Until one fine day, She happened to stray, And since then she hasn't been seen. Dorothy McMoran '43. A dear little girl With a golden curl Was bidding her daddy good-bye, He was going away, For a year today, And a tear showed in 'her eye. The time would seem long To her, while he was gone He had been her very best pal. She breathed a short prayer As they parted tlhere, That God would keep him well. In his khaki so neat, He marched down the street To the music of the band g But her heart was sad, As she watched her dear dad, Who was going to defend our free land. Leola Paine '42. There was a young fellow named Jack, One day his brain he did wrack. He wrote an essay, But it didn't pay, And his paper was all he got back. Glenna Whittemore '43. PARTMENT To kill,-or not to kill,-that is the question, Whether 'tis fairer to let him live, through The joys and sorrows of another year, Or to take up arms against this noble soul, And by murder, dispose of him. To live,-to die,- If, to die,-no more will bother him The heart-aches and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. But death to him is Far from the present. To live,-to die,- If, to live,- perchance for years, that is mercy, But, if, through life, he be not happyg then kill, As is usual on each Christmas day, the Poor and noble turkey. Carleton Quinn '42, To bum, or not to bum,-that is the question, Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The thoughts and trials of staying home, Or to take up arms against a sea of gossips, And by opposing ignore them. To go, - to stay,- To go, and by going to hear when back The wagging tongues and a thousand disliked stories That tongue is heir to,-'tis an ending Not to be wish'd. To go,-to stay,- To go l there's our conscience! ay there's the rub, For when we're there-there come thoughts which we dislike And we may wish ourselves at home, Our conscience bothers us. Elizabeth Tees '43. To marry or not to marry, -that is the question 3 Whether 'tis better in the end to accept The freedom of a ba.chelor's lonely life, or- To enter in the .bonds of matrimony, Thus ending loneliness. To wed-to unite,- And by a union to say we join our lives Together- to end the struggles and natural problems That bachelors are heir to,- 'tis a consum- mation Devoutly to be wish'd. To marry, -to unite, - To unite! to yoke together! ay, there's the rubg For what may come when a man is yoked to a wife Who has a lashing tongue and high ambitions, Must give us pause. Wallace Andrews '42, Once there was a young lad from Nebraska, Who met a young lass from Alaska. She 'helped him shuck corn, While he blew his thorn, But the question he never did ask 'er. John Trinward '43. There was a young teacher named Ioan And her ink, she always did loan. 'Til it went to her head, And one day she said, Why don't they buy some of their own? 30 M. F. H. S.

PILOT 33 I -DAC: Qfffim' A F THAT'S RIGHT Frost and Piper, who were novices at the game, went Hshing. Strangely enough, they happened to hit a- good spot and hauled in quite a bunch of whoppers. By gee, this is a fine fishing hole-Iet's mark this place and come back tomorrow, suggested Frost, and proceeded to pull up the anchor. Then, as they neared the shore, Frost asked, Did you mark that place where we caught those fish? 'I You betf' answered Piper, I put a cross on the side of the boatf' Frost snorted, Well, lunkhead, how do you know Weill get the same boat tomor- row? U SOMETHING SIMILAR Mother fto Bobbyjz Surely you did something else but eat at the school treat? Bobby: Yes, mummie. After tea we sang a hymn called, 'We sing, full though we be'. Mother learned later that the hymn selected was, Weak and Sinful Though We Be. PROSPEROUS We have just learned of a teacher who started out poor twenty years ago, and retired with a comfortable sum of 550,000 This was acquired through industry, economy, effort, perseverance, and the death of an uncle who left him an estate valued at 1548,999.37. CHICKENS FAILED TO ROOST A professor of mathematics decided that he would supplement his meager income by I s jyof xi. tpi jfjhlx raising chickens. With just enough money to buy a hen and a setting of eggs, he made a beginning, and then sat down after dinner one evening to figure out his expected increase. If ten chickens were hatched and half of them were pullets, he would have in a few months six hens, and on the same basis again, thirty-six, and another year two hun- dred and sixteen. From there on his progress would be rapid. By eight o'clock he had several thousand acres devoted to coops and runs. By nine dclock he had spread beyond the boundaries of his own state. lust before bedtime he was reaching out for more land in South America, at which point he went out and killed the hen, for he hadn't the heart to crowd the human race off the face of the earth. LIKE THE CAT Friend: 'L How did your article on perpet- ual motion turn out? Author: It's a success. Every time I send it out it comes back. HOT DOGS ! Lyda was driving through the country with her daddy when, for the first time in her life, she spied some cat-tails in a swamp. Oh, daddyf, she cried, shaking his arms, look at the hot-dog garden! ', NO TIME WASTED It's so good of you, doctor, to have come this far to see my husband. Not at all, madam, not at all. I have a patient next door, and I thought I'd like to kill two birds with one stone. 34 M. F. H. COMPANIONS IN CRIME Policeman: Iudge, this man is arrested for gambling and being drunkf' Drunk: Your Honor, ' Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn'. I'm not as debased as Swift, as profligate as Byron, as dissipated as Poe, or as debauched as -- - - Iudge: That will do. Thirty days, and oflicer, take a list of those names and bring them in. They're as bad as he is. SO THERE Mr. Morrison found some holes in his sock and said: 'K Wife, dear, why haven't you mended these? Hubby, darling, did you buy me that coat for Christmas, as you promised? N - No. Well, if you donit give a wrap, I don't give a darn. GOOD ENGLISH Miss Nelson: How would you punctuate this sentence? ' The wind blew a ten-dollar bill around the corner 1 Harold Allard: I would make a dash after the bill. MIGHT TAKE A CHANCE Bill Greenwood: Mother, can you help me with this problem? H Mother: I could, dear, but I don't think it would be right. Bill: No, I donlt suppose it would, but take a crack at it and see. NOT OVER THIRTY TraHic Officer: 'K As soon as I saw you come around the curve I said to myself, 'Forty-five at least'.', G. Score: 'A Well, you're way off. It's this hat that makes me look so old. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! F. Foster was walking on the promenade of a seaside town when he noticed a weigh- ing machine with the notice: I speak your weightf, He put a penny in the slot and stood on the platform. A voice answered: One at a time, please! ', S. PILOT THE GOOD OLD DAYS Grandfather: Nowadays I never see a girl blush. In my day it was different. C. Keene: Why, Grandpa! Whatever did you tell them? ACQUAINTANCE H. Allard chased the train, but missed it. As he slowly walked back, an interested onlooker volunteered: Miss the train? Oh, not much, he replied. You see, I never got to know it very well. MEOW H. Coleman: Whenever I'm in the dumps, I get myself a new hat. B. Merrill: I was wondering where you got them. IN THE CHASE BANK F. Edwards: If a dog starts after a cat, what is his interest? ', G. Richardson: I know . . . one purr scent. NO HELP WANTED Mrs. Mains: In this scene, my dear, the young man rushes into the room, grabs you, binds you with rope from head to foot, and then smothers you with hugs and kisses. A. Welch: Is the young man, tall, dark, and handsome? Mrs. Mains: Yes, why? A. Welch: Then he won't need any rope. NO TIME FOR ENGLISH They were arguing as to whether it was correct to say of a hen, she is sitting or she is setting . The question, said the farmer, don't interest me at all. What I want to know when I hear a hen cackle is whether or not she is laying or lying. NOT CONTAGIOUS Teacher: Robert, why weren't you in school yesterday? Robert: Mother was sick. 'Teacher f fearing something infectiousj: Dear me. What's the matter with her? What does the doctor say it is? Robert: He says itis a boy.
