Good bye.” “Good bye.” — Ruth Manderbach,’24 Thoughts of a Freshie I’m just a little freshie, My school is old North High. Some say I’m awfully little, Others say I’m shy. But these folks hardly know me Nor do I know them. And what a big surprise they’ll get When my skirts are let down at the hem! I guess I am a little shy And rather small for my age; But that ain’t saying Tm a freak And ought to be put in a cage. Just wait till I grow older. I’ll show these folks a thing or two; I’ll get to work and show them all There are some things that I can do. --Lolita Sanger,’28 Fifty-three

r « f Many of our Exchanges Have been commented Upon already, But here are some Later ones which we Consider worthy of Mention : ❖ The Literary Department And The Poets’ Corner In tne Oracle from Montgomery, Alabama Are very good, but Would not leaving Out a few Advertisements Make a better School paper? We like The School Times From Springfield, Mo. Ii has interesting Accounts of their School activities The Red and Black From Fostoria is A very interesting Paper, but— Original poetry Would greatly improve it. We’d like some Help On the pronunciation Of Kilikilik. 5(C He The Record From Wheeling, West Virginia, Is one of Our regular visitors. We enjoyed reading The Vera Cruz Column. The Cheese Journal In the Akron Forge Was certainly clever; The jokes were fine. 5is We think the change In the name of East High School’s paper Is a good one. We are always Glad To see you, Caravan. One of our latest Visitors is The Arsenal Cannon From Indianapolis. It is interesting and Well written. A: “What are pauses?” B: “They grow on cats.” “How did you Icse that tooih?” Willie: “Shifting gears on a lolly pop.” Augie:“Nocky ate something that poison¬ ed him.” Mike: “Croquette?” Augie: “Not yet, but he is very ill.” Professor: “Young man, do you know I began life as a barefoot boy ?” Student: “ Well, I wasn’t born with shoes on, either.” Fifty-tvjo Rachel: “Our baby am the perfect image of his daddy.” Mandy “He shuah am. He am a regular carbon copy.” And here we have the oldest Mother-in- law story: The cave woman called to the cave man: Horrors! Mother is.out in the yard with a sa¬ ber-toothed tiger!” Replied the cave man placidly: “My dear, why do you care what happens to a saber- toothed tiger?” Marie Colegrove,’24
