X 'W THE MEDINIAN Twenty-Nine It would not be a complete joke without Frank Mettie being mentioned, so I will try and repeat some of his bright remarks. Jack Gatman in civics class: Miss Phillips, what kind of cases does the sheriff try? Miss Phillips: Not any as I know of. Frank Mettie: Oh, yes he does. He tries suitfcases to see if the guy is a boot' - legger or not. Before ending I wish to express my compliments to Pauline Bowman in her new career as a Dancer P A There is an old saying that goes something like this: He who laughs last never saw the joke. So if you don't see the joke here just laugh anyway. Class Song Tunes A Perfect Day. Now we come to the end of our High School daysg To the goal for which we have wrought. Swift have passed the days, and our hearts grow sad As we think we are soon to part. A Tho' our teachers and schoolmates have said goodfbye, D Our mem'ries will linger still , To remind us of joys that we all have shared, As we climbed educatiorfs hill. Neva Caskey. J

THE MEDINIAN Thiny-One for herself. When it appears that she might be discovered, she hides the articles on members of the family. Q . Now Mr. Carr is a very absentfminded gentleman and is considered by his wife to be a kleptomaniac. Of course, because of this infirmity, he is always blamed for everything which comes up missing. But it happens that the maid slips a ring box into Mr. Cluney's pocket, and when it is found on him, Dr. Willoughby, the best man, who, in the course of events, proposes to another of the Carr daughters, Joan, tells James that he too must be a kleptomaniac. Cluney, desperate, telephones police headf quarters for a plain clothes man to come and watch him. The maid has an associate in carrying out the plot to. rob the household in the person of Jack Doogan, her iiancee. While he and Nell are collecting things in the living room, the detective from headquarters is-heard outside. Doogan hides, but is discovered and -so poses as Mr. Cluney. He very cleverly plans a case for the detective and tells him to return later. When he encounters Mr. Cluney and the Carr family he poses as the detective, and as such, gains the knowledge of where all the valuables in the house are kept. In the meantime some steel stock certificates which Mr. Jamison, a friend of Mr. Carr, has given him as security on a loan, disappear from the safe. Mr. Jamison comes for the certiiicates and while at the Carr home his money is stolen. He immef diately swears out a search warrant and brings the Sergeant of police and two officers back with him. Doogan succeeds in stalling off the police by getting hold of the warrant, which he slips into Mr. Carr's pocket. Mr. Jamison goes after another warrant and, while gone, the real detective returns. He is readily recognized by the police as 'Joe Thompson, a member of the plain clothes force, and Doogan is proved an impostor. The stolen goods are recovered, the charge against Doogan and the maid is not pressed. Dr. Willoughby obtains Joan's consent to marry him, and the day ends happily in a triple wedding.
