7 he Scarlet and Gray 21 SMILESCOPE I wish to thank the class of ’14 for their contributions to this the Smile- Scope of the Junior number of the Scarlet and Gray. With but few ex- ceptions each member submitted an original joke. Cecil R. Brickies. Tell me not in mouruful numbers, Saylor thou’rt a bag of wind ; And the soul is dead that slumbers, ’Neath thy large and chubby chin. Thou art real, thou art earnest, And the H. S. is thy goal ; Dust thou hatest, dust thou spurnest, In thy dark and dismal soul. Lives of students all remind us, We can make thy life a dream : And departing leave behind us Several bumps upon thy “bean.” Bumps which might bring on another Rising from thy hairless pate ; Seeing which, a jolly fellow May decide to try his fate. In the school house ’mid confusion Where the halls resound with mirth, There dear Saylor, thou do’st grumble, Sweeping particles of earth. Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for all thy hate ; Still amuse thee, still pursue thee, ’Till thou yield’st to thy fate. Ambition Nobility Bravery Order Caution Punctuality Determination Quality Earnestness Readiness Fairness System Gameness Tirelessness Honesty Uprightness Independence Virtue Justice Wisdom Keeness ’Xactness Labor Yearning Method Zeal Father—“Don you’re a pig—Do you know what a pig is? Don-“Yes ? A pig is a hog’s son. “For what do you wink at me, sir? said Anna angrily at a party. “0 beg pardon, madam” happily re- plied the witty Clifford, “I winked as men do looking at the sun, your splen- dor dazzles my eyes.” Miss Lowden Name five of Poe’s work.” Grace McKee: “The House of Seven Ushers.” Mr. Townsend: “Everett, what was the under-ground railway ! ” Everett P.: “It was a railway built under ground, on which the North carried slaves.” “Germs have been discovered which eat the inside out of steel rails:’ I wonder, if they can’t discover some’ng to eat out the inside of Tubby Davis’ head.” Forest had a friend, named Gail, He loved her very much ; Everywhere that Forest .went, She had to keep in. touch. She went tflth him to school one day. Which caused the boys to hollow; He started in the Senior room. And she also did follow; Miss Johnson picked up Saylor’s broom And sent her to the Junior room. Mr. McFarland: “ George, what effect does salt have on water when it is introduced ? George S.: It saturates the boiling point.” Dow H.: “Austin, you haven’t been around Ray for a long time have you?” Austin D.: “Ray who?” Dow: “Razor.” Miss Lowden: “What kind of a life did Poe lead ? ” May S.: “An anticipated one—mean- ing dissipated.” Bob Morgan: “Say Emp, why does George run his hands thru his hair so much ? ”
