A NIGHTMARE Look out, don ' t touch it! warned Tut. Why, what is it? we asked. Our new element , said William proudly. Then it moved and we saw that it was really Margot ' s knitting which Henry had stuffed. It looks good, hinted Ethel with a hungry look . . . Why not try it? asked Tom, You know the old proverb — until you venture to put all the early bird s eggs into one basket you won ' t gain your bridges before you ' ve crossed them. A few of us weren ' t hungry, but the others fell to with a will . . . Something was wrong. We haven ' t got any teeth, that ' s the rub, said Charlie, We ' ve got to open the darn thing up and give everyone a chew at it . We started to follow his advice, but Jones- let s thumb, which had been smoking curiously throughout the period, suddenly burst into flames. A decidedly basic reaction, Miss Wied told her, but Annette yelled What do it all mean?, and waved her flaming thumb about till Jud reached for the fire extinguisher and quickly and expertly put out the conflagration. We thought that peace had come. Emmy settled down to her knitting of pink caps to donate to Dale s Home for Crippled Eudiometer Tubes. We turned on the radio and the music of Benny Goodman ' s orchestra with Toddy Wieboldt at the piano was gently wafted along the hydrogen sulfide . . . Suddenly a blood curdling yell shook Dunlap. We rushed to the window. There was Johnny Wing, struck with horror, gazing at a foot clutched firmly in his trembling hands. Whose is it? asked the Sophomore girls, but Johnny only pointed dumbly at a woodchuck hole. The girls brought us the gruesome details. The foot belonged to Janet. She had been looking in the hole for worms when she slipped and fell in. While trying to pull her out, Johnny had accidentally taken off one of her feet. We were depressed at the episode, but cheered up when Pop and Jack came in on bicycles with Eisy riding on their shoulders. Eisy seemed to be quite unconscious of the fact that balanced on the end of his nose was a red Ping Pong ball . . . Do you suppose he nose it ' s there? asked Ray innocently. Oohh , groaned Ginny, Bill, and Jackie, What a terrible pun! What ' s a pun? demanded Nancy B. approaching as she nibbled ecstatically at a peanut butter sandwich. There ' s a dictionary , Phil suggested. I ' ll look it up, offered Jeanne helpfully . . . Let ' s see . . . ponne . . . poene . . . Oh dear, I can ' t seem to . . . But Nan W., Ham, and Hubie had burst into loud guffaws. For heaven ' s sake, come to town! said Evvy, shaking her hips derisively. Sally was laughing melodiously, and Ellen had turned on her diabolical chuckle and purled six in her glee. Then Harris yelled Drop the teasers! in a terrible voice, and we all subsided. SENIORS
