(girl’s H lang 19 - •• My Dear , What are you doing with yourself these long June days? We are studying to “beat the band.” This is “slamming” warm weather, isn’t it? “By George,” when are you going to come to see me? I am “dead crazy to see you.” I bought a new hat yesterday; it’s a “peach.” We ordered a new machine to-day and it’s a “slamming” good thing. You can sew a “mile-a-minute,” and you know that is “burning the wind.” I was looking “cute” when my pictures were taken yesterday. They are “birds.” I am “crazy” for some ice cream. Say “ditto.” I can eat it “to beat the band.” Write to me soon and be “some” careful you don’t use slang. I hate it and don’t use it. Come to see us when you “don’t feel like it.” “Bye! Bye.” Your friend,

54 SOUTHSIDE ECHOES The reactions are as follows : B + G = BG + (a good time) BG + G = BG 2 + (a fuss). Or we may try the following with better results : Experiment. — Take in equal parts, one woman (W) and one man ( M ) . When the mixture becomes thoroughly fixed, add ten drams of mother-in-law acid (Mil C0 3 ) and the mix- ture becomes more fixed and united, the acid being resolved into a gas and driven off rapidly, the more rapidly as it attacks more viciously the mixture and opposes it. The reaction is as follows : M + W + (Mil C0 3 ) = MW (an inseparable compound).

)tp Come anti §o ( Doggerel verses about North View dogs.) There are three dogs that come to our school, They often walk in and sit on the stool; One can neither call them a dunce nor a fool, Although they don’t learn much by coming to school. One is named Nell, one Joe; they look just so, And the other, I am sure, is named “Uknow.” They keep very quiet until the bell begins to ring, And then they run, bark and almost sing. One is black, one brown, the other a little blue, And when we get after them, they ever “skidoo;” But they always come back when we are through And pick up scraps — hardly enough even for two. They sometimes walk in the hall to hang up their hat, Pretending, I suppose, they’re watching for a rat ; But the next we know they’re flying like a bat, With lunch baskets and everything like that.
