I went to the Baker to get some dough, but he said he was all Tyers out and didn't McKenny. So I went into the Cole and dreamed of Summerhayes. It was useless be- cause it was Howard to imagine on a Knight like this, so I Rennick all the way. I met a salesman who said: t'Use Schell motor oil, it Maxwell hearf, So his car McLeod noise Anderson of the Baker came with some Dwyer to tie on the loose Rivet in the car door. Teacher's Sayings: Mr. Franklin: You're getting dumber every day. Mr. Foster: This is an extra special class. Mr. Baker: I wonder if we could go through a day without a late. Miss McNamara: This class is just hopeless. Now what will you do when you go out into the business world and you .......... pedia, now that your brother is going to school. White: Not on your life. Let him walk, the same as I did. If During Mathematics period: Shirley: What would you have to-day if woman had not been created?,' Howard: One more rib.

THE NORTHLAND ECHO 55 Anita: If a bomb fell in a field and a bull ate it, what is an adjective to describe it? Barbara C: I'll bite. What? Anita: Abominable. And if the bomb ex- ploded? Barbara: Okay. Spill it. Anita: Noble. School Daze Is Right Did anyone notice the dazed expression Betty Harris was wearing before Christmas? That was because she was dying to be Whitham. Did it seem long, Betty? Oh, Doris! As Doris Beattie says after 3 years of A1- gebra in the Collegiate Department: Algebraic symbols are used when you don't know what you're talking about. WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT MURPH? He carries a lot of weight with the teachers as well as in his shoes. Remember The Day? When Vel Martin had all the girls dying to read a leaflet about Eleven Ways to Win Your Man. But were they let down when they found out it was eleven cheese recipes! When Miss Walker asked jenkins to run up the blind for her. When Mr. Foster blamed the moon for the fact we didn't have our homework done. We have come to the conclusion that Mr. Foster knows Special pretty well. When the gramophone broke down and Special typed the same line about ten times before they woke up. When Miss Walker told us she ran across a friend one day. Miss Walker, how could you be so heartless! ISN'T IT QUEER how Barbara McGonega1 absolutely insists on getting a front seat in As- sembly? Maybe the exquisite colours of that jeep sweater in 4B attract her. Purple and orange are a perfect combination, aren't they Barb? SPECIALS STILL LAUGHING about the story of how one of our dashing colleagues was called down to the office only to find an invita- tion to a Christmas dance awaiting him. Won- der if it's been done before? Trust Special to be original, eh Reg? Ain't It The Truth? We hear Dawn Overholt's been doing quite a bit moonlight skiing lately. Is it the moon? the skiing or what? that get's her. Special Boners A skeleton is a man with his inside out and his outside off. Rhubarb is a kind of celery gone bloodshot. A sinister is an old maid. A Soviet is a cloth used by waiters in hotels. Average means something hens lay on. Magnet is a thing you find in a bad apple. An octopus is a person who hopes for the best. A toreador is a really bad storm. A spinster is a bachelor's wife. l You Said lt! Why don't angels in heaven have mous- taches? Because men only get to heaven with a close shave. i Hold Tight! Of course, everyone in Special has at least one of those what-did-the-something-say-to- the-something-else'i up his sleeve. Here's some of them: What did the big fire-cracker sav to the little fire-cracker?-My pop is bigger than your POP- What did the beach say to the tide?-Well, come on in. What did one owl say to the other in the rain?-It's not too-wet-to-woo. What did the rug say to the floor?-Stick- em-up! I've got you covered. What did the grass seed say to the sod?- I wanta be a-lawn. What did the calf say to the silo?-Is my fodder in there? Overheard In Special Mr. Foster: This'1l kill you, if those other 160 exercises don't. CSay it with a smilej Biff Gigg: Ain7t lost yet! Mr. Franklin: Got that? Miss MacNamara: UTIME! ! l Miss Gardner: Now SPECIAL---and etc. Scotty Skellern: Going skating to-night? Betty McGonegal: Everything happens to me! Mr. Psutka: CWhen the class is marching in single filej By the left, smartly now, quick march.
