MEDINIAN Just because people Always laugh at me When they see me is No reason I should Have the job of Writing this column Wished onto me: — I Argued that the pages With the senior Pictures on would Include all the Jokes, but they Still insisted I Fill up this space, Altho Jokes, as well As fools arrive every Minute, they all look Alike, just like babies Do, except to those Who produce them. As you ' ve all heard There’s nothing new Under the sun except Freckles every spring And some people have Them all the year Around anyhow, just Like Jasper Dundas. Jokes all fall into A few classes, (and By the way, more than Usual fell into our Class,) — there ' s those You know about the Large feet — we have Plenty room to pull Them with the possi- Bilities in our class, But you know it might Hurt someone’s feel- ings if we were to Get specific. In talk- ing about the nines And tens then we can Only repeat that Famous quotation, “If the shoe fits you. Put it in your pipe And smoke it. And Then there are those Ford jokes, — but Doc Strong and Henry Crisick get enough Publicity and Frank Mabry tells the Class Joker - Hall Kellogg World with signs, Anyhow, and I ' ll Mention Dailey under The jokes about those Who talk too much. And of course there Are a lot of the Women in the class That I might slam In that way, but I want to keep on The good side of Them. So maybe I can get on the School Board someday. Too. There are a Lot of jokes, too. About the girls That walk home, But. altho they prac- Tice on the roller Skates in the spring, None of them have Been seen Skating up the Pike. Fat people come in For their share of Joking, but owing to The fact that the Girls decided it would Be less expensive for All of them to use the Same pattern for their Commencement dresses, The fat ones have Trained down to the Extent that we expect No casualties on the Big Night. We might Talk about some of The attempts at Raising mustaches, But the successful Competitors are well Established in their Glory, and we do not Want to hurt the Feel- ings of the “also Rans.” We might talk about Knickers and bright Sox exhibited. What the Boys must have said in Buying is what Mr. Bauer Always exhorts in conclud- ing debate and class play, “Louder, louder! But We expect them to wear Out very soon, and as we Know not whether the Respective owners can, or Want to buy any more, we Hesitate to give them Any place in the eyes of The adoring public that They will have to live Up to. There are those Jokes about bright Remarks in class, which Reminds me of what Bill Loehr said when Miss Gilbert asked him whether His father wrote the Theme she had just looked Over. Bill said, “Yes, He started it, but mother Had to do it all over Again.” And then, we Have jokes about terrible Music, but that ' s why They named McDowell ' s Orchestra “The Alligators Because they are fierce. The Jokes about being Seasick are hardly Applicable here, altho At times we think the Ocean must seem rather Dusty to some of the Members of the class. None of us are married So that cuts out a lot Of jokes we might use, Altho these diamond Rings that shift from One hand to the other And back again either Advertise prospects Or suppressed desire. And there are those About the — My goodness I guess 1 11 have to Stop, the space is all Filled up. P. S. — The biggest Joke is you ' ll probably Think I was really Smart enough to write All this myself. Thirty
