.... iffarulty Sok B .... Smanthy Hayseed, Onion Street, Punkinv lle. Dere Smanthy: I thot mebe you ' d be interested in the do- in ' s of this here skule. Expecially about the petagoges (ain ' t that eloquent, Smanthy?) Well, Mr. Lauterbach, he is the boss at this here skule, and he is the most diverse man you ever did see. Also, he ' s in love with a girl, but he can ' t help it, Smanthy, he ' s just like I am about you. He has a cheap ring- in great conspiquity on his watch chain, and it looks like tin; mebe it ' s copper tho. I ' m al- ways magnamious, ain ' t that so Smanthy? I ' ve heard even that he ' s taken corsage bou- quets of sweet peas to her, Smanthy. Miss McKee (she ' s just like you, Sman- thy) and she ' s sum algebre techer. Actuly, Smanthy, she nos mor about algebre than I do, and so you can jest imagin ' how smart she is. I like her tho, Smanthy, cause I can have so much fun with her. But I ' ve eugelized on her enuf, ain ' t I Smanthy? I dun ' t want you to get jealous. Miss Beard teches the dead language at this here skule. Ain ' t that a grusum sub- ject, Smanthy? The funy thing about it is that when we students here study it here very long, we are almost dead. But don ' t worrie, Smanthy, I ain ' t takin ' it. It ' s all I can do to learn other things. Ain ' t that right? There ' s a techer here Smanthy, that wears glasses, and she also has that reserved air of which you like about me. Her name is Mansfield. Every few days she gits little bouquets of dandelions and buttercups like I send yu Smanthy. When this here techer goes to a party she kin dress jest like a lil ' girl and act the part, too. She inflicts ritin ' on us here. We have a Baldwin at this here skule. Not an apple, Smanthy — a techer. I don ' t think she won anything tho, Smanthy, that ' s jest one of natures errors. I guess she teches geography and English, but don ' t know for sure. Timothy Hi Pockets. Dere Smanthy: Wal ' , I was thinkin ' as to how long it ' s bin since I wrote you last. I bin in this here city fur five weeks now, and have got acquainted with a feu more of the techers. They got a couple of pretty good cooks up here. They go by the name of Masteller and McLaughlin. I even heerd that they in- vented a new kind of meat loaf by puttin ' lemon extract in it, and a new cake by usin ' soda instead of bakin ' powder. Miss Baker is one of them Junior Hi Skule techers. I guess she has a hard t me to enforce descipline in the assemblage room. Jest when every one is hungry about noon she makes ' em all stay in on account of makin ' so much noise. Pa e sixteen
