Some Combination One day in june Calvin went to the printing office to have a bit of news put into the paper. You can, of course, guess that it was about his wedding feast. But it happened that the editor had had something better to drink than water, and as he had an auction to advertise at that time also, he got the two mixed and this is what became of the two :- A happy auction took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Becker as they had their daughter tied to Calvin Fredricks with a sixty foot rope. Rev. Gilbert Arnold had the wedding ceremony and was at the same time auctioneer. After the ceremony the happy couple went to the barn, where fresh cows were served with hay. For dessert they had ice-cream which was sprinkled with clover seeds. After having enjoyed the evening in the pigs pen, they got ready for their honey moon. Calvin said he'd cut the buttons off his coat and put them into the pocket. It won't be so heavy then, he said to his wife. fOf course Calvin always had such bright ideasj. The great morning of their honey moon arrived. They started on their trip in a baby crriage. But on the way this broke down, so they had to continue the journey in a wheel barrow. They passed many brick yards and Calvin thought sure he was seeing some of the Great Yellow Stone Park. This trip was remembered by both Marie and Calvin. We are all sure they will have a happy future. MATHILD.A Dmrkrcu, '27 A Senior Mr. Schuler is a Senior boyg Who goes by the well known name of Roy. But better known to us as Schuppg He never did or will give a whoop. A great teaser of bashful girlsg His greatest pleasure to pull their curls. 'Tis true he ne'er is seen by anyone. But what he's teasing someone. He is easly recognized from afarg By his greased Stay-comb pompadour, And his round gogglesg with mouth wide open, He strutts around town as if unknown. But just the same, Shupp's a good old scoutg Even if he's slippery as a trout, He helps those who are in trouble If he in return is paid double. Page Fifty-five

Twice a week just before noon There enters In our High School Assembly Hall An individual Who is death Cn dicipiline VVhen she appears All sit up straight And apply themselves So diligently That the atmosphere Is one of work! I feel cold chills That seem to race Up and down My spinal column. When ever she Happens To glance my way. But at last When I think It over I jump To the conclusion That work is not So bad As it looksg And dicipline Will do us good I THANK YOU. The Periscope The periscope is a fine production The High School gets the fame The printers get the money And the Staff gets all the blame. Don't try to tell us in '24 That life is but a dream But wait till you see The Periscope And you'll know just what we mean. The Alumni call us Dumbells They think we know much less But wait till they see The Periscope A product of M. F. H. S. Katherine Schlaefer, '26. Page F i fly-.ve-vm
