THE MIRROR CLASS OFFICERS Tom Eliot President Don Stern Treasurer OUR PET TROUBLES We find we ' re not so popular, — Or maybe it ' s not us! But anyway the High School Has made an awful fuss. The noises they are horried, The smells, they say, are worse. In spite of all our explanations All they do is curse. The feeble squeaks our animals make Certainly can ' t compare With the bellows and battles the boys create That often rend the air. The odors which sometimes fill the halls Originate down in the Lab, But the animal smells are nature ' s fault, And really aren ' t so bad. It ' s quite surprising what we ' ve learned Of heredity, feeding, and such, Page 26. 1935

A HOLIDAY One day a Barber named Jones decided he wanted to go Fishering, so he started out in his car with his wife, Anderson John (son). But going up the Tut-hill, the car began to Creigh-k and squeak. It ' s Blaine , he said, that we need a new car. This must have lost a Weibolt somewhere. Finally, however, the car got them to the town of Eisendrath, where they decided to Crowder over to the curb and Parker, although it was against the law to stop on Highways. From there they walked across a field where they Met-a- calf and a Bull with Calkins on its feet. Then they crossed the stream where Mr. Jones had decided to fish, by the Blatch-ford, and spread out the picnic lunch, they had brought by some Wells, where they got water. Here ' s a nice chicken Wing for you, John, said Mrs. J., but John was too interested in a spider ' s Webbe to answer. After lunch Mr. J. fished, but as he caught nothing, his wife was rather scornful. How much Daugh-a-day, do you think you ' ll earn this way? she said Sauer-ly. Not much, said Mr. J. this water is Zeissy. At length they started home, but the car wouldn ' t Starr-t. However Mr. J. got it going by Tittle-ing around with it. On the way back, they met a Musselman with very long hair. John was scared but Mr. J. said, Don ' t be scared, he wouldn ' t Harmon-e hair of your head. All he needs is a Wolcott and he would look like any one else. Howard you like to be him and be Stared at? John didn ' t answer this because they had arrived in their home town, Hurlburt, and their holiday was over. 1935 Pa « c25
