Page twenty-eight REPORT OF UARSENE LUPIN Continued from Page Sixteen the idioms are self-explanatory. The informal style, short, direct sentenc- es, made the thought easy to follow. CU I have, I hope, become more fam- iliar with French, and have been ex- posed to 1939 Parisian colloquialisms. I think these are as important as anything else for the development of one's ability to speak French, to meet, and to talk intelligently with a modern Parisian. Books like Mon Oncle Flo, and Les Miserables are indispensable for the teaching of French customs, and style in French literature, but Arsene Lupin is, in its own right, indispensable, in its ac- quaintance of the student to the French man in the street. I also enjoyed comparing the passages in French with the same in English. For effectiveness, English has noth- ing on French and I often thought English quite inferior. CHRISTIAN FENGER + + + JOKES Mr. Johnston was trying to give his pupils an illustration of the meaning of the word perseverance What is it ? he asked, that car- ries a man along rough or smooth roads, up hills and down, through jungles, swamps, and raging tor- rents ? There was a silence, and R. New- comb, who thought he knew a great deal about automobiles, spoke up: Please, Mr. Johnston, he said, there isn't no such car. Mr. Thayer: Evelyn Anderson. construct a sentence using the word 'archaic,. Evelyn Anderson: We can't have archaic and eat it too. Will Mesheau applied for a job as a grocery clerk. As the employer wanted a serious-minded young man, he put Will to a test. Well, Mesheau, what would you do with a million dollars ? he asked. Oh. gee, I don't know-I wasn't expecting so much at the start. Mr. Thayer: Is it true Miss Osborne, that when the clock strikes half-past two, you put down your pen and leave the office, even if you are in the middle of a word? Miss Osborne: Certainly not Mr. Thayer, when it gets near half-past two, I never begin the word. ...AUTOGRAPHSM

Her fa- ther and mother were very poor and could scarcely afford good food for Clara. She was weak and pale, and needed country air to grow strong. They had heard of a camp in the White Mountains that they liked very much, but they could not afford to buy it. One day when Clara's father brought a newspaper home, she read about a drawing contest. The first prize was a four week vacation at Camp Lucy, a camp in the White Mountains. She made up her mind to try for it because drawing was one of her talents. While her father and mother were at work the next day, she started to paint her picture. Her father had bought her a small piece of canvas and some paints knowing her love for art. She decided to paint her idea of the camp. She put her heart to it. The nert week it was done, and it was sent in. In a few days she received a letter saying she had won first prize. She was ever so happy. Soon her father and mother were waving good-bye to her from the rail- road platform. One can do almost anything if he puts his heart and soul in it. Connie Hailey, tlrade Y
