Long lines of gray; Shadows and brown for bright autumn gay; Song birds again to the South land have fled. Forests are solemn, green leaves are dead. Ho! for the apples that roast in a row. Where flames are setting the hearthstone aglow. Wheat again, corn again. Straw in the stack. Meat for the hunter, and nothing I lack; Keen is the wind and sharp is the air Drink in the goodness of God everywhere; Riches of life, though lean be the purse, Nothing so bad but it might be worse.” Love again, joy again, Hoping alway— This is the true wealth of Thanksgiving Day. —Z. Irene Davis. The Scarlet and Gray 3 Thanksgiving at Larson “Peg! Peg Neilson!” Betty Brown called as she dashed up the stairs two at a time to the cozy room which she and Peggy had shared since their Freshman year at Miss Huston’s Col- lege for Girls. “Do look here! I (as president of the Senior class) have a note from the president of the Senior Class of the Larson Academy inviting our class to a big Thanksgiving dinner and dance to be given at the Academy Hall. And Miss Huston is to go as chaperon.” Here Betty stopped for sheer lack of breath, and thrust a small neat note, written in an angular, boyish hand. It read: To Miss Brown, Senior President of Miss Huston’s: We, the Senioor Class of the Larson Academy do most cordially invite the girls of your class to attend our an- nual Thanksgiving dinner and dance, November Twenty-fifth. Cars will be provided by us for the trip between the schools. Sincerely yotjrs, JAMES WHITE, Pres. Senior Class. Come to Larson Academy Hall November Twenty-fifth At Seven “What do you think of that?” Bet- tv demanded perchcing hei-self on the edge of the cretonne covered divan. “Oh Bettina, it’s just too splendid for words!” Peggy said. “But I rath- er think you’d better ask Miss Hus- ton before you tell the girds.” “Yes, I will.” Betty was already half way down the stairs toward the superintendent’s office. She went straight to the door marked “Private” and knocked. At the same time she called “It is I—Betty, Miss Huston.” “Come in dear,” that lady said gent- ly, for Betty was one of her favorites. As she rose from her work and saw the girl’s flushed face she said: “Why Betty, what is the matter?” “Oh, Miss Huston! Please read it and tell me if we can go.” She hand- ed the letter to the woman who read it. Miss Huston was rather an elderly woman, loved and obeyed by all who knew her. When she had read the let- ter she handed it back to Betty who stood waiting for her answer. “Well, Betty, I guess we must go. mustn’t we?” she asked kindly. “Oh Miss Huston, I am so glad! I must hurry and tell the girls. Thank you very much.” Betty hurried to the big living room of the “West Wing” where only Seniors gather and where there were now assembled fifteen or twenty young girls. They all knew there was something in the air when t’ c” saw Petty coming the note held high above her head. “Now what do you think of that?” she cried as he finished reading it 4 The Scarlet from her seat on the floor in the cen- ter of the excited group. “Well, it’s too good to be true!” said one. “You’d better wait till you see Miss Huston before you get so gay,” Lorna Darmond remarked coolly. “That’s just like you to try and throw cold water on plans Lorna, but I’ve aready asked her and she said we could go!” Triumph shown in Betty’s deep blue eyes as she said this. Lorna, who boasted a “train of an- cestors,” as Bettv said was very jeal- ous of that young person’s place in the hearts of their chums. “Why, you don’t even know that she comes from a good family,” she used to tell the girls. “But Betty is a lady,” they would defend. , „ “Look at the clothes she wears. Loma’s pretty lips would cui 1 at the thought. Of course, Betty Brown was vastly different from the other girls. Com- ing from the Texas ranch, she had stuck to the khaki skirt, white shirt waist and brown walking shoes. The girls up to their Senior class had never attended social functions excepting their own little “spreads” in the big dining hall. For these they wore their school dresses. Now ot course, the first question was “dress- es,” and “what shall we wear?” “What shall you wear Peg?” sever- al of the girls asked. “Oh I think an orchid colored party f rock.” “Peg! You’ll be a dear in it. It will cuit your fair complexion and hair,” Louise Nolan said. “Flatterer!” Peggy’s eyes belied her snappy tone. “But what shall you wear Beilina mine?” “Oh, the new one, the blue one or the one 1 wore last 1 guess. Betty’s eyes twinkled. ‘ “Come now Prexy.” The girls' pet name ?or her, their little president. “I think I’ll get a leap green satin.” She beamed on them. “Pooh!” sniffed Lorna. “It would suit your red hair beautifully I am sure.’’’ fingering her own soft black braid. All the girls stared but Betty only smiled broadly and bowing low to her tormentor. “Well, I shall be in the character of a red rose then—red top and green leaves.” The girls laughed and Betty bound- and Gray ed away to answer the President of the Senior Class of Larson Academy. II. Thetime drew nearer for the big night. Lorna still persisted in speak- ing of her “fluffy canary colored dress” and voiced opinions of “green and red.” But Betty only smiled and nodded the mass of soft golden red curls if asked of her intention to wear her green satin. One day she and Peggy were dis- cussing the party. “Betty dear,” said Peggy, in her most coaxing tone, “Won’t you please tell me about your dress?” “Nope! It’s green. That’s all I’ll tell you.” “Bettina! Surely not green with your hair.” “Presactly! But I’ll tell you what I’ll do! I’ll bet you 1 wear a green dress. If I lose I go home with you. It you lose you go with me for the three weeks vacation. What say?” “Fine! Fine!” clapping her hands, Peggy cried out. Here Miss Huston interrupted them by sending for Betty. “S’ long! See you later!” she called out as she ran down the steps to the office. Half hour later she came up with “Everything’s ready! The dresses came yesterday. Such a stack of box- es.” Then as the news of the dresses spread such ah hub-bub as there was. Girls chattering gaily, all eager to show their dresses. That is, all but Betty and she refused to let anyone havve a peep at hers. III. It had come. It was nearly time for the cars to come for the girls. “Such an array of girls!” exclaimed Miss Huston as she came to the liv- ing room. “But I do wonder where Betty is?” Peggy fretted. “Wasn’t she in .your room when you came down?” Miss Huston said. “Yes, but she refused to dress be- fore 1 came down?” Peggy smiled. “Afraid you would laugh at her col- ors,” Lorna said sarcastically. “We will please not discuss others now,” Miss Huston’s voice was sharp. “But they are coming!” Advancing to the stairs she called “Betty! Hurry girlie!” “Coming,” chirped Betty. But Bet- ty proper was scarcely visible in the Continued on Page 7 The Scarlet and Gray 5 Timothy's Thanksgiving In the little town of Tipton there lives a man by the name of Timothy Winnepeg. ’ low his name suits him perfectly, and he is very proud of it. He is very short and fat, in truth quite wobbly on his short fat legs. His feet and hands were small. His head was very large, his eyes small and close together. His nose was short, but spread out fan shape. His ears stuck out from his head, and really he looked like “A tree full of owls,” as the expression is often used. His father is a Dutch farmer, or rather a retired fanner and his son is all he lives for. Being quite wealthy he is inclined to be lazy when there is work to be done. He sits for hours and gazes out over his farm thinking of the future happy years. Timothy does the same, but with an entirely different attitude, for he is thinking of the time when this farm will be his own and just how many limousenes the money will buy. Not that he wanted to hasten his father’s death at all, but the city is tempting him greatly. Now Timothy is quite romantic and in love with a young girl who lives on the neighboring farm, but who does not happen to care for him. For she loves a handsome good-for-nothing young chap by the name of Lew Wal- lac. who during the summer boards at their house. Each Sunday afternoon you can see Timothy walking along towards Pri- cilla’s house and in an hour coming home quite down hearted because Lew had come to call on Pricilla and had politely told him that “Two is compa- ny. three is a crowd.” Pricilla Deane was the only daugh- ter of Jacob Deane Esq., who was of English descent, another one of those old gentlemen who peacefully while their life away smoking their pipes. His daughter was to him what Mr. Winnepeg’s son was to him. This particular Sunday happened to be the one before Thanksgiving, which is always noted for good things to eat. Timothy had decided to ask Pri- cilla and her father over to their house for dinner but was rather uncertain as to whether she would accept the invitation or not As he slowly mounted the steps he tried to think of some thing to say but failed. He knocked and stood with rapidly beating heart until Priscilla came to the door. “Why er-a-good afternoon,” said Timothy, his heart in his mouth. “Won’t you come in.” “Er-a-certainly.” Now Timothy was not bashful, but on this occasion he was slightly uncomfortable. “I just came over to ask if you would spend Thanksgiving with us.” He said it very calmly but he felt far from calm. “Oh we had thought of spending Thanksgiving at home, but I will see what father says about it.” Presently she came back, her face all smiles. “Father said he would be delighted. He and your father are such good friends you know, like two old cron- ies.” Timothy could not trust himself to stay there any longer so arose to go. “Oh, my, you aren’t going so soon, 1 hope?” ‘ Well, I had better, as I just came for a few minutes.” “Oh, I’m so sorry.” She really wasn’t but she had to say something. “Good bye then until Thursday.” z With this he started home, all the wav he was unusually light hearted and happy. Their house keeper spent the day before Thanksgiving preparing the feast. A large turkey was killed, stuffed with dressing and roasted brown Pumpkin pies baked, white bread, ginger bread, a large cake and cookies. All of these goods things were stored away in the pantry. Sweet cider large rosy apples, chestnuts and candy, nothing was omitted. About ten o’clock the next day, Pricilla and her father came over to the Winnipegs. Such a feast had nev- er before been prepared. But just as they were sitting down to eat a loud shrill motor horn was heard. Timothy recognized the sound for he had heard it frequently and knew it belonged to Lew Wallace’s car. His heart actual- ly missed a beat. With an excited little iesture, Pri- cilla arose, excused herself and hast- ened out. Sure enough it was Lew. Continued on Page 7 6 The Scarlet and Gray Thanksgiving Day in TUabam Thanksgiving day has come, not one of those clear, snappy, frosty days that you hear about but a warn balmy day. In fact warm enough to make a fellow sweat with the least exertion. This sounds strange for we have nevei heard the word Thanksgiving but what we think of snow, cranberries and turkey. It will not sound so add when we say that this Thanksgiving we are talking about was in AlabanT, where B. V. D.’s are popular all the year round, and when they mention the word Thanksgiving down there they always thihk of roast ’possum, sweet taters and a rising thermomet- er. It was on such a day that Jefferson Lee, a short, heavy-set bachcelor about fifty years of age. sat on the veran- da in the front of his old colonial man- sion half asleep and half awake. His neck had become cramped and while making an attempt to straighten it out, he turned his head far enough over his shoulder to notice an old (larky approaching. “What do you want?” was his ab- rupt question. “Some clothes,” was the more ab- rupt reply. “Ah been thinkin’ as how dis war Thanksgiving you all might help a poor nigger ba givin” him some old clothes.” “Sure, I will if there are any. Go around to the back door and tell Ned, my man to look around and see if he can find those old shoes of mine. Care- ful not to go too near the back fence, my nephew has his blood hound tied there. “Thank ya, suh—thank ya, suh!” The old negro bowed himself out of sight around the corner and knocking at the back door, repeated what Lee had told him.. The butler finally found the shoes and the old negro thinking them most extraordinary decided to wear them home. After the agony of getting them adjusted to his corns he proceed- ed around the other side of the house. He was walking along admiring his recently acquired shoes when his nose suddenly caught an odor that made his mouth water and his eyes roll around. “Roast ’possum as sure as Ah live,” he remarked glancing upward at the open window. As if in a dream he re- membered reachcing upward and re- moving a plate with a large and beau- tifully roasted ’possum on it from the window sill. Remembei'ed clearing the back fence in one spasmodic leap, barely escaping the hound and arriv- ing home breathless but with a large brown ’possum, granished with sprigs of spearmint all ready to be eaten. The first news Jefferson Lee got of the theft was when Aunt Susan, his old colored cook came running to him crying and told him how she had set the possum on the sill to cool and turning around had found it missing. Mr. Lee’s nephew suggested they set the blood hounds on the trial and make sure of the thief, w’hile they went out to look over the plantation. The young man led the hound around to the window and after letting him get the scent of the thief, took him around front and turned him loose. Mr. Lee, who was in the woods back of his house heard that blood curdling howl as the hound took the trail. And just to make sure that there was no mistake he ran around in a circle a few times and walked rapidly to the other side of the field. The hound bounded into view, nose close to the ground and at every five leaps letting out one of those awTful yells. When he came to the place where Mr. Lee had stood he began to yelp confusedly and circled several times. The hair on the back of Lee’s neck befan to raise. A chill started at the back of his head and ran all the way down his spine. The hound was trailing him, and how to outwit him he did not know. He had heard of men delaying them by leaving some cloth- ing behind so he took off his light coat, (he really did not need it for he was perspiring freely) and rolling it in a bundle placed it in the bushes and took to his heels. The dog soon came to the coat and after tearing it to bits picked up the trail and started after Lee again. Our hero by this time was nearly out of breath and the dog was gaining on him every second. There was only one thing to do, climb a tree. So he selected a nice easy one and started for it. The doe- was not far from him but he gathered him- self for his dying effort and put all his 7 The Scarlet and Gray energy in the leap, succeeded in grasp- ing the lowest branch and pulling himself out of reach just as the dog came up. There he sat just out of reach of the dog’s frantic leaps and quite out of breath. Half an hour later young Lee came up and chained the dog down and helped him out of the tree. Upon arriving home he gave ab- solutely strict orders never to give an old pair of his shoes away again under any circumstances whatsoever. In the two room, mud-kinked cabin where the old negro lives, peace reigns supreme. His family with a few in- vited guests are seated around the rough hewn fine table. He bows his head and after giving thanks to his Maker calls on Deacon .(ones to “carve de possum.” John E. Zeller, Jr. Imperator et Milites Caesar imperator magnus erat et Gallos pugnavit.

Thanksgiving at Larson Continued From Page 4 cloak of cloth and whife fur. “You scamp,” Peggy laughed. “You had better take off your wrap.” “No they are coming now!” In fifteen minutes all were on their way to the Larson Academy. After about three quarters of an hour they reached the academy. Load of pretty, happy girls went into the great hall. Betty was one of the last to arrive and when she came from the dressing room everyone stared. Surely this was not their Betty! Their little westemr. Ter dress was green. Leaf green at the bottom shading into deli- cate floating sea green. Then the pro- cession and a happy hour in the ban- quet room. Tired but happy they returned ot Miss Huston’s that night. “Remember our bet,” Betty said as she rolled into bed. “I’m not apt to forget,” replied Peg- gy- After a three weeks’ vacation in Texas, Betty returned a bigger favor- ite than ever. But Loma still voiced dislikes of “red and green.” Vivian Nixon, ’20. Timothy9s Thanksgiving Continued From Page 5 Presently she came back, took her coat and with many apologies pre- pared to leave. “You see, Lew wants me to have Thanksgiving dinner with him and meet his family. Since he is to be my future husband, I’d better go— don’t you think?” But she was gone before any one could answer. Timothy tottered but did not fall: he dimly recollects hearing a car pull out of their drive. Then his eyes hap- pened to rest on the turkey and Pri- cilla along with all the sorrow she had caused him was soon forgotten. Now each Thanksgiving he thinks of what he escaped, and is even thankful that the shrill auto hom in- terrupted his Thanksgiving dinner a long time ago.

Somehow, at this time the feast comes first and the giving of thanks if of- ten forgotten. When Thansgiving is mentioned every one’s mouth starts to water, from visions of turkey, plum pudding, pumpkin pies and—well “N’ Everything.” Most times we’re so busy with the “eats” we forget the thanks. Some of us even grumble about minor things, perhaps the tur- key isn’t just as we like it, or some- thing else that really should be un- noticeable. There are so many, many 9 The Scarlet and Gray things, really big things we can be thankful tor, besides the hundreds of small every day things. Somehow we overlook these, and try to find some- thing that doesn’t quite suit us. Yes we do, and if we will be really frank with ourselves, we’ll admit it. Let us stop sometime when we have not anything else to do, and “count our blessings,” as the old hymn goes. We would soon run out of fingers and most of us would need an adding ma- chine before we were through with the job. t If someone would only start the fad of being thankful instead of grumb- ling, wouldn’t it be fine? Lot’s of peo- ple would do it, because it was a fad. Measles and mumps are catching, as we all know, but that isn’t the end of things one can catch. Good things are contagious too, although most of us have to be exposed to them several times before they take. But in time, the idea of “being thankful” would get such a hold on us we would even be willing to miss a little turkey. Let us pupils of N. H. S. start the fad. and see how many things we can be thankful for this year. N. H. S. Faculty I am thankful for a good spirit in the high school and loyal working corps of teachers. I would add to this a faithful staff managing the Scarlet and Gray.—D. A. Ferree. And now that Thanksgiving season is here and we are privileged to ex- press our thoughts, may I take this opportunity to say I am thankful I am in Nelsonville, Ohio, instead of France, and that I’m working in a High School that’s really doing things.—J. L. Fri. 1 am thankful that I am an Ameri- can. that I have a part in the educa- tion of the boys and girls of my home town; for the autumnal beauty of the Hocking Valley hills.—Mrs. Lane. I am thankful for the increased in- terest of the pupils in their class work and for their spirit of loyalty.—Miss Parks. As the Thanksgiving season ap- proaches, I can think of nothing for which I am more grateful than life with all its attending joys and oppor- tunities.—Miss Hoflrert. I am thankful for the sunshine, Good health, and countries free. For the victories in ages past That affects you and me —Miss Rickenbacher. Je suis content que vous m’ aimez. —Miss Crawford. I’m thankful for Nelsonville High. The Freshmen—they study. The Sophomores must be small, I haven’t many at all. The Juniors—Chemicstry! I’m nev- er homesick. The Seniors NEVER talk in study hall. The Scarlet and Gray—Lt’s just fine.—Miss Smith. “For eyes to see this autmun world, And lips to sing its beauty, For feet to make the happy trail Of winter’s’ waiting duty; For light of home and love of friends, And wholesome joy of living, For grace to know my good estate, Thanksgiving!” —Miss Rickards. 1 am very glad to be back at N. H. S. this school year. And at this sea- son I agree with you in saving “I don’t want to eat what I ought'to, I’d ruther eat what I’d ruther.”—Miss Loof bou now. Perhaps some of us have forgotten that list of things that should be in- cluded in “A High School Student’s Efficiency Score,” Mr. Fri read in chapel one morning not long ago. He has given us pel-mission to print some of the most important ones. I’m sure jt is a list well worth the short time it takes to read it over. Don’t only read it, but stop and think how it would benefit the pupils of N. H. S., if each could answer all the questions satisfactorily. I.

Miss Parks read the names of all the boys from N. H. S. that have been in the service and Mrs. Lane read the names of the six who made the su- preme sacrifice. Principal Fri, who was with several of the boys all thru the thickest fighting gave a short talk. The names inscribed on the bronze tablet are Clermont Howell, Glenford Dugan, Arthur Stratton, Noble Lax, Clarence Hoodlet, Harry Collins. October 21.—The parents surely re- sponded well to the invitation extend- ed them to visit our schools. There were about two hundred and seven registered during the week in the High School.

Wellston Game—26-0 On Saturday, October 10, Wellston journeyed to our fair metropolis, to engage the N. H. S. team in the most deadly of all sports, i. e., a game of football. Wellston’s team proved to be con- siderably heavier than our eleven and as can be recalled by some of our sen- iors now, that in 1916, Nelsonville sent a football squad to Wellston much heavier than the 1919 team and in- cluding several former stars, Morgan, Johnson, Walters, Schuler, and the heavyweight, Dowr Jean. This Nel- sonville assembly was defeated by a score of 44-0. So you can see that a result of better coaching the 1919 team showed up much better against Wellston than the 1916 team. Much credit must be conceded to Mr. VoiTies of O. U. who has been coaching this year’s gridironers. He has developed from absolutely green material a team which is showing bet- ter and better form as the season pro- gresses and which will be n A-l con- dition to start off the season next year Jackson Game—44-0. On October 25, our team hit the trail for Jackson to play one of the best and heaviest elevens in this sec- tion of the state. Nelsonville was handicapped by the loss of some of her backfield men and forwards: Price, ineligibility; Patton, Wood, Zeller and Lutz, injuries. The boys put up a game well worthy of praise, but on account of their weight they were unable to score. They had the ball on Jackson’s five yard line several times and when a pass was muffed on Jackson’s three yard line with no Jackson player near- er enough to be dangerous, N. H. S. lost another chance to score. Logan Game On the eighth, Logan sent her team donw here and defeated N. H. S. by a score of 37-0. Logan High plays thru tackle were the chief gains. Logan also made several nice passes altho no touchdowns were made from passes completed. Shorty McDaniel made some pretty tackles, still the whole team tackled good, but sumpin’ was wrong, jus’ couldn’t stop Logan. Usher, an all- American tackle refereed this game and should be commended for the square deal he gave both sides.

The Scarlet and Gray has many things to be thankful for this year, and the thing that heads the list is the loyalty of the student body of N. H. S. The stories, poems and jokes contributed this time are fine. And thei'e’s an abudance of them. Of course every story can’t be used and the staff must pick out the best ones,, so if your story doesn’t happen to be in, don’t feel discouraged about it, but brace up and write us another—one that will be sure to go in. Profit by your past mistakes and keep on help- ing your paper. It can’t go on with- out your support; but if material comes in as readily in the future as it has in the past—our paper can’t help being a success. The Scarlet and Gray 13 VISITORS’ WEEK Visitors’ Week brought many inter- ested parents and friends within the halls of N. H. S. The work was car- ried on in the usual manner and gave the visitors a clear insight of school life. Their interest was appreciated by the faculty and student body who extend a hearty invitation “To come again.” THESE MEETING The N. H. S. students burst into the auditorium with additional speed Fri- day afternoon as the faint sound of a drum had been heard. And such stirring music, it seemed impossible to calmly sit down and even the Sen- ior girls were not their dignified selves. But great was the sorrow at the sight of our wounded heroes and the mournful service conducted by Mr. Wood was heartbreaking. Mr. Nelson is an awe inspiring cheer leader, and the speeches made by our men left us highly elated. We are all more proud than ever of our team spirit and are backing them with our loyalty. “You do your best boys, We’ll do the rest bovs, For old N. H.

Velma Young was elected and took charge of the meeting. Miss Parks, our advisor told us to be sure and elect a president who was not afraid to talk. Floyd Rosser was elect- ed by a big majority, and we think he is very able to do his part as to talking. Pauline Wagner came in sec- ond, so she is vice president (and a very able one two). Harris Wood, or better known to us as “Woody” is our treasurer. Elda Crouse (although small), we know she will make a good secretary.

After a closely contested election, it was de- cided that Wheeler Newton would be our most honorable president, Philena Nelson, vice president; Margaret Em- ish, secretary, and Frank Tedrow. our most trusted treasurer. We only hope they will be able to fulfill our highest hopes. After a very hot argument, pink and white won over all other col- or combinations, as our class colors.

We, the pupils of the Sophomore class, in order to form a more perfect class, establish a ways and means, in- sure class tranquility, provide for class parties, promote the spirit of the school,, to secure the blessings of mirth to ourselves and our friends— who will they be?—do establish this bank account for the Sophomore Class of N.

It often happens that the one we en- vy most is envying us. Ill habits gather by unseen degrees as brooks make rivers, rivers make seas.—Dryden. Perfect grammar may clothe a vic- ious thought. Beware of little expenses, a small leak will sink a ship.—Franklin. There is no cold cream that will keep away wrinkles, so successfully as the milk of human kindness. Plow deep while sluggards sleep and you will have corn to sell and keep. The only way to have a friend is to be one.—Emerson. When you play, play hard; when you work don’t play at all.—Roosevelt. Keep your troubles to yourself, put them on an upper shelf. A bad ending follows a bad begin- ning. Be one of the very few, who, a thing to be done, will not trust it to the uncertain tomorrow. Little things are little things, but faithfulness in little things is some- thing great. Lost time is never found again; time enough always proves little enough. None but such as are good men can give good things, and that which is not good is not delicious to a well gov- erned appetite. A wise man cares not for that which he cannot love. The Scarlet and Gray 17 Eleanor did you see the last number of the “Dragon?” Didn’t you like it? There is something about it that I like particularly well and I like their news- paper form. The paper is different somehow. “Yes I noticed that too. It certain- ly is a good paper. But then I think the ‘Megaphone’ is a good paper also. They have such snappy jokes and good stories. And the ‘Bucyrian’ it’s such a wide awake paper and full of pep. But I especially like ‘The Wesleyan.’ ‘Transcript,’ and ‘Denisonian.’ They are college papers you know, and diff- erent from High School papers,” re- plied Eleanor. “Do you know Louise, I think our exchange department is still awfully small, of course we haven’t had much time, but I think it should be larger.” “Well, don’t worry about our ex- change department. It’s going to be increased a great deal between now and the next issue. Say, we received a new paper yesterday. I don’t be- lieve you saw it. ‘The Weekly Origi- nal.’ It’s a good wide awake paper and so newsy. But say, I have a class in five minutes so I guess I had better hurry.” 18 The Scarlet and Gray Claudine Uhrig—“The other night I was going along a dark square when I saw a man and I surely did run.” Shady V.—“Did you catch him?” A farmer was riding on a train and he asked the conductor—“How often do you kill a man on this line? “ Just once,” replied the conductor. Mother Emish — Margaret, you shouldn’t turn and look at a man like that.” Margaret—“I was just looking to see if he was turning to see if 1 was looking at him.” Extract from a Senior’s test paper: “The Star Spangled Banner was writ- ten while a very important battle was fought on an envelope.” Kodger—“Does your husband ever kiss you before your maid?” Mrs. Flugh—“No! after, general- ly.” Shady V.—“Have you anything to keep hair from falling out?” Clerk—“Yes mam, hair pin counter two aisles to the left.” “Mary Rose sat on a tack---Mary Rose.” ' A certain girl—“VVoodie makes me tired!” Another girl—“It’s your own fault, deal-, you should stop running after him.” Are you going up to hear the lec- ture on Appendicitis? No. I’m tired of these organ recit- als. In a police court the other day a man was brought up whose name was Gun(n). A constable said he was load- ed with drink, when the megistrate heard this he said: “Gun(n) you are discharged,” and the report was in the papers the next day. Don M.—“I want a bale of hay.” Clerk—“For your father?” Don—“No! for the horse.” Teacher—“Who can give me a sen- tence using the word ‘Gruesom?’” Willie—“Father didn’t shave and grew some whiskers.” Shorty W.—“Why do people laugh in their sleeves?” Charles B.—“Because the funny bone is there.” Wifey—“Its tough when we have to pay 40 cents for steak.” tlubby—“Yes, and it’s tougher when we pay 12.” Wife—“If I would die Phil, what would you do?” Phil—“I’d be nearly crazy.” Wife—“Would you man-y again?” Phil—“1 wouldn’t be that crazy.” He—“I didn’t sell the editor any jokes, he had plenty on hand I sup- pose. ’ She—“I don’t know. He was cer- tainly out of humor.” “I just read about a fellow who got a corner on eggs.” “1 don’t see how he did it without breaking them.” “That Auger is a sharp fellow,” said the Hammer to the Saw. “But he runs around a great deal.” “Yes,” replied the Saw slowly be- tween his teeth, “and what an awful bore he is.” 19 The Scarlet and Gray A woman went in a bank and no- ticed a strange face behind the win- dow. “Has the cashier gone away to take a rest?” she asked. “No, to avoid it,” was the answer. Salesman—“Do you need any type- winter supplies?” Merchant — “Yes, send me four pounds of candy and a box of chew- ing gum ?” Teacher—“Every one of God’s crea- tures is here for a purpose. Now what do we learn from the mosquito, Willie?” Willie—“We learn from the mosqui- to how easy it is to get stung.” Lee P.—“Scientists say that trees contribute to the heat of the atmos- phere.” John Zeller—“Yes. that’s how the birch has warmed me many times.” Tommy—“Won’t you get sick?” Johnny—“Naw, I’ve smoked for years. Me fodder smoked fish. Me gran-fodder smoked hams, and I smoke anything I get me hands on.” “Why Is a horse that can’t hold its head up, like next Tuesday?” “Don’t know.” “Because its necks weak.” (Next week). Oh I heard that about a week-back. A stranger addressed the fanner boy across the fence: “Young man, your com looks kind ’a yellow.” “Yes, that’s the kind that we plant- ed.” “Don’t look as if you would get more than half the crop.” “Don’t expect to, the landlord gets the other half.” ( Them after a pause, the man said: “There isn’t much difference between you and a fool.” “No,” said the boy, “only the fence.” Suppose That— Dons was fat. Lowell would take some girls a ride. The teachers would strike. Ted Evans and Pauline Martin wouldn’t wear puffs. “We” should sit in the Ford all af- ternoon—what would happen. Wheeler would stop talking. Shady wouldn’t gigle any more. What is John limping around for? Why he fell in love and broke his engagement. Favorite Tunes Floyd R.—Oh Linger Longer. Woody—I’m Forever Blowing Bub- bles. Mabel—The Vamp. Shady—“Wood” that you were mine. Louise H.—A Good Man Is Hard to Find. Raymond W.—Smiles. Lee P.—What do you want to make those eyes at me for? Stmt—Mary! Zellar—The Dam Old Ford Rambles Right Alon. Blub—Believe me if all those en- dearing young charms. Lowell—Drink to me onlv with thine eyes. Virginia T.—How can I leave thee. I.ucile S.—Just a-wearying for you. Wheeler N.—Peg o’ my heart. Claudine—Have a Heart! Football Team—There’s a little spark of hope still burning. Babe A.—Mickey. Lootzie—Poor Pauline. Jackey—Can you tame wild wom- en ? Landon S.—Out of the East. Jokey—Take your girl to the mov- ies. Cliff—Carry me back to old Vir- ginia. Woody—Everybody wants the kev to my cellar. We Are Thankful That all our friends aren’t Fresh- men. That Zellar hasn’t returned to his right senses. For Lowell (of course, the poet!) That Shady discarded the B. Scout pin. (Lee got too anxious). Tht skulls have a limit of expansion. That Strat has only one Pensyl. 1 bat Louise H. has onlv one sister. 1 hat Harris W. hasn’t two. That Floyd R. likes to linger (Oh- linger). That ‘Matches” don’t alwavs come in “cases.” That Helen H. likes boys that are r rank.” That Lutzie is rather fond of his first name, (Martin).
