This recrea- tion is all right for students who participate in these contests. But what about those who do not get a chance to compete? The smaller schools should have more intra-mural con- tests to give all students an equal chance to compete in extra-curricular activities and to learn the art of sportsmanship. Awards should be given to encourage everyone to participate in several inter-class contests. They need not all be along athletic lines, but could be in the form of debates, dramatics, essay writing, spelling, and such skills as best answer the needs of the par- ticular group. If there were more of these contests, I feel sure that after graduation the students would be better qualified to meet the needs of life. RoBERT SLATER. CORRESPONDENCE COURSES Students in small high schools now have an opportunity to study extra courses not offered in their schools. By Correspondence Courses, students may study such courses as Architecture, Art. Engineering, Electricity, and Radio. The pupil is enrolled by the high school and studies the course for a semester of eighteen weeks under the supervision of a teacher. The student is sent booklets and illustrated pamphlets which he studies, and sends in work at the end of each lesson. At the Correspondence School the work is cor- rected, given a rank, and sent back to the student. The high school handles all the mail that is sent in and received, and may count the course as part of the student's regular curriculum, giving him credit for the course. It is a grand opportunity which no student should overlook. Many schools in Maine have already adapted this program and we hope the stu- dents at Pennell will be able to avail them- selves of this opportunity next year. ViorA Harcu.

At least, Polly is work- ing and Billy and Archie are hovering over Elaine, anxiously seeing to it that Elaine doesn't overwork: for Elaine has only to smile sweetly at a man, and he seems to go into a swoon. Pretty, independent Polly just doesn't woo the men. The men all like her. but they just don't love her. Polly and Billy tell their troubles to each other. Polly loves Archie. Dilly loves Elaine. Each decides to copy his rival's technique. It is good plan- ning but it doesn't work. The dismaying result is that Polly presently finds herself to courtly but elderly Senator Smithson, and Billy to spinsterly Lydia. The farcial mishaps that occur as Billy and Polly try to extricate themselves from their predicament; the antics of that awful pest, Gwendolyn: the reminiscing of the love-lorn Miss Lydia; the sarcastic re- marks of Mrs. Gentry: and the flattery of Senator Oliver engaged Miss the would-be ladies’ Smithson, made this play a howling success. MARTHA WHITE, 46. man, Nine LITERARY UTOPIA, LAND OF DREAMS Station AWOL—meaning “Always Work or Loaf.” Now for our imaginary trip to Utopia. First, we pass through the rocky mountains of Sleuth Gulch where we can always find vicious monsters such as Frank- enstein, the Wolf Man, or Karloff. But let's proceed before it's too late. Next we come to Jitter-bug Avenue where all the hep cats can easily be found. The most famous of their jitterbug steps is to jump into the air and then land on the street with a bang. If you go through the street, the dance is over, but until then the show goes on. Soon we come to Girls' Paradise where males can be found easily who obey all girls' commands. All you have to do is whistle! After that we come to “Swooners’ Hall where Frank and Bing sing nightly. Stretchers are on hand and smelling salts, so you'll be taken care of in case of passing out. , Everyone has money to burn and all fami- lies have at least ten cars, all capable of flying. Houses are made of glass and equipped with private swimming pools filed with ginger ale. We end our tour by coming to the village called Little Utopia. Here everyone is clothed in silks and satins, and adorned with diamonds and gold. Children in this village go to school and spend their time dancing and going to mov- ies. The children have cars of their own. but the boys are not able to drive until they reach the age of fifteen. Girls can drive when ten years’ old. We girls get away with murder. Here we are to our journey's end. Has everybody enjoyed this trip? Station AWOL signing off. Lorraine Horr. Ten FALL BEAUTY The azure sky was splashed with chunks of fleecy white cotton. Overhead the wild geese honked their farewell to the north. 1 roamed along an old lumber road : the dry. brown leaves were crackling like burning birch logs. As I reached the top of a rise I stopped, stunned by the carefree beauty of the wild, plunging stream at my fect. Ordinarily it was slow and sluggish, but swollen recently by heavy rains it now rushed by, rebelling at the frail leaf-dams which tried vainly to hold it back from its wild rush to the sea. Hundreds of Starlings were holding their annual convention in the willow trees which lined its banks. Noticing a movement in the bushes. | stood motionless. Presently, a magnificent buck came out, cautiously raised his antlered head and sniffed the wind. Luckily the wind was in my favor. Satis- fied that all was safe, he looked back whence he had come. Immediately a nimble doe came forward. They stooped to drink the cool water without knowing I was near. Suddenly. a sleek grav, squirrel scurried up. and. seeing me standing at the foot of the huge oak in which he had made his home, started scolding me furiously. The deer im- mediately whirled and, with a flash of a white tail, bounded away into the sheltering woods. Disappointed, I suddenly realized the dusk was slowly drawing the curtains of night and that I must leave my wanderings until some future day. Reluctantly, I turned my back on the stream and started home. Far WILSON. MURDER IN THE GYMNASIUM Johnnie Williams, age seven, sat listening to the patter of rain on the roof and waited. Suddenly, in one of the rooms a window opened slowly with a faint creak. A foot, a leg, then the whole body of a man was cau- tiously easing himself over the sill. A dim light flashed nervously from one end of the gym to the other. Johnnie snuggled as far down in his chair as he could, wondering what this strange man could be doing here. The figure moved silently down the length of the floor, flashlight ever searching the shadows for something unknown. Suddenly, he stooped, glanced around, then knelt on the floor and began opening the small bag he carried. Soon sharp tools were biting into the wall. Distant footsteps sounded — the stranger stopped work. In his tension, Johnnie looked forward, trving to imagine what this night visitor was doing. and who had interrupted him. As the footsteps came closer. an accompanying whistle became audible. “It must be the jani- tor. thought Johnnie. He was probably looking after the fire. But what of the other man? lle was crouched in the shadows watch- ing, waiting. One of his tools clinked lightly as his foot brushed against it. The janitor paused, glanced nervously around and then, seeing something, cried out. The thief was instantly upon him. A fierce and furious battle followed. By this time, Johnnie was jumping up and down urging the janitor to Sock him! Sock him!” A flash of metal, a deafening roar—and then— Whom did the bullet hit? Was it the mysterious thief, or the poor old jani- tor? Be sure to listen to Murder in the Gymnasium tomorrow, and remember, “Crispy, Crunchy Cornflakes are— Johnnie disgustedly turned off the radio. He would have to wait until tomorrow night to find out what had happened. GERALDINE ACHORN. A STRANGE NOISE One day in the middle of the month of August, 1942, I thought I would go over in our back field to see if the cows had broken through the fence into a piece of corn I had. I knew they were grazing in the field next to it, and if they pushed against the fence hard enough it would give away. When I finally got there, they were still feeding in the field adjoining the corn piece. Instead of going back home after seeing they weren't in the corn, I decided to walk into the corn to see how it was growing. While I was looking it over, I heard some- thing snort several times in the edge of the woods. I couldn't think what it was. I didn't know whether to investigate or not. Although my heart was pounding and I was shaking like a leaf, I finally gained courage to go over to discover what it was. There was a stone wall at the edge of the woods and I walked up behind it just as quietly as I could, ready to run in the oppo- site direction at the slightest movement my way. I was really scared! I peeked down ‘over the wall and let out a yell. There was a doe and two fawns so near I could prac- tically touch them. Boy! Didn't they run when I velled! Thev surely set me back a step or two with their quick start, crashing through the brush. CrirTOoN Hate. A SWELL DAY FOR FISHING Little freckled face Tommy woke up ex- tra early that Saturday morning. It was a bright sunny day : there was no school, and he was going fishing. He quickly got out of bed. put on his blue denims, an old shirt, and rushed out through the door in one breath. He ran to the shed, grabbed the spade and headed toward the garden. As he dug for the worms, he would stop now and then to let the cool earth ooze up between his toes. Gee, it felt good! He finished his digging and proudly surveyed the can of worms, then started back to the house for his fishing pole. an old stick with a piece of line and hook. As he started down the road, whistling. he heard his mother call, Tommy! You come right back into this house and clean up; we are having company today. Tommy stopped dead in his tracks, as his whole dream disappeared before him. Get- ting cleaned up meant a bath. What could be worse! Aw, Maw, I’m going fishing. Not today, his mother said, and that ended it. A good while afterwards, Tommy sat on a chair shining like a new penny. his shoes polished, hair combed, but with a scowl on his face. A fine way to spend a good Satur- day! As he sat there muttering to himself, he heard a familiar voice in the hallway, but Eleven paid no attention ‘til his big brother Bill walked in, home from the Navy. Maybe missing the fishing wasn't so bad after all. R After dinner that day, Tommy was again dressed in his old clothes, and walking down the road proudly looking at his brother. In one hand he carried a can of worms, in the other a new fishing rod. “Gosh! Bill, it’s a swell one,” Tommy said, as they rounded the bend in the road. Viora HATCH. A HUNTING TRIP It was on November 11, Armistice Dav. I arose early to do some hunting. The day was cold and bleak with rain drizzling down frem a dark and somber sky. Taking my 9 m.m. sports rifle. I started ovt into the woods. Each blade of grass and ezch overhanging limb was covered by great glistening drops of water which would fal. on you at the slightest touch. I had traveled about three miles into the weods when I heard someone shouting and whistling. I did not pay any attention to it. however, and kept on going. Suddenly. I stopped! That was a call for help! At once I started in the direction of the person who was calling. As I advanced nearer, I whistled a reply. I kept traveling. but the reply still seemed far away. Then I stopped whistling, but continued to go forward. I came to a small opening. There, going in the opposite direction, was a young hoy. Calling to him, I asked him what was wrong. He said that he was lost. He had heard me whistle but thought I was in the opposite direction. He was a dusty-haired, freckled faced boy, with clothes that matched. Ie told me he was thirteen years' old and came from Portland. He said that he was with his two brothers and his father : that his brother had left him on the top of a hill, but as he became restless he started to wander around and had become lost. Even after I had led him to a black road. he still did not know where he was. I met a friend of mine in his car who offered to help us hunt for the boy's car. We had gone only a short distance when we met one of the boy's brothers, who took him back to his car. Although I did not get a deer, I felt that the trip was worth while. ROBERT SLATER. Tuclre THE FIRST SIGNS OF SPRING The last of the winter's snow was melt- ing away, forming little rivers throughout the land. The sun was riding high. and there was an air of soft contentment everywhere. A robin, just back from the South was blithely singing a joyous spring song. The trees and the grass were becoming a beautiful shade of dull. moss-green. The buds on the trees were just beginning to ap- pear. filling the air with a sweet, flowery fragrance. The word Spring, in itself, leaves one feeling light-hearted and gay. and at peace with the world. JEATRICE COOPER. SLEIGH RIDE IN .DECEMBER The snow is falling earthward in large. white, star-shaped flakes. Tonight I am to go on my first sleigh ride! Cousin Danny has described to me, several times, the beauty of it all. First. we dash into the sleigh and tuck the warm. fleecy blankets around our small, shivering bodies. Then, as suddenly as a crash of thunder, we were on our way. The dappled-grey horses run briskly and their hoof prints leave a trail behind us in the soft sparkling snow. Everybody is happy and carefree and singing the songs of the Yule- tide. Cousin Dan adds that the horses like music because they seem almost to be dauc- ing in time to the singing. Sleigh rides should always be on starry nights when the heavens are crowded with twinkling stars and Mr. Moon seems to have a grin on his face which almost spells out “Have a good time! He helps add beauty to the night by his light reflected on the glittering snow. The time is short and I must get ready. Excited? I guess I am! Do you blame me? LonRAINE llorrT. FOREST FIRE Gee, I wish someone would come up on à tour, or report a fire, or something. It gets so darn lonely up here. I'll go crazy pretty soon.” This was said by Lee Rodnick, a forest ranger, stationed on top of a mountain in New Hampshire. No one had been near the place for weeks. The only time Lee saw people was when he went on his monthly trip to Cutler’s Village, which was thirty miles away, for grub. Jim Cranston, who was another forest ranger, was stationed on a peak about ten miles away. He had been a ranger for over twenty years, so he never got lonely, but to Lee, who was new in the game, time dragged very slowly. He would talk for hours on the telephone to Jim every day, but the wind- storm last night had blown down Lee's lines, so now he sat gazing at the blue sky and the silent, dark forest. Suddenly, he saw a small, gray cloud ris- ing slowly upward. Lee jumped up on his feet, and grabbed his binoculars. Yes, it was a fire. He could see no flames, but he knew that where there's smoke, there's fire. He located its position, then yanked down the ‘phone. Ranger Rodnick calling Headquarters, he yelled, but no one answered. There was only the silent blankness of a dead wire. Then he remembered the telephone was out. He stood up staring out of the win- dow at that gray cloud which was now stretching out in a long line. “Jim will see it, he thought. But then he realized that a large cliff would block it out of Jim’s range. It would be fully thirty minutes before he would be able to see it. Dy then, no one knew what damage it would do. “What can I do? he asked himself. What would Jim do if he were caught like this?” Then he thought of Cinder. He flung open the door, and practically slid down the ladder. Cinder heard him coming and whin- nied to him. Lee opened the door, grabbed the saddle, and flung it on her. She seemed to sense that they must hurry and opened her mouth readily for the bit when he strapped the bridle on her. He leaped on her back, and they galloped down the trail that led to Jim's. There was no wind. The only sound was Cinder's hoofs beating out a rhythmic tattoo on the hard-packed forest trail. She was a fast horse and knew the trail well. Lee placed all his faith in those slender, black legs. But what if Cinder should trip over a tree root and injure her leg? What if the wind had blown down Jim's line, too? Lee urged Cinder on faster and pushed these thoughts out of his mind. Cinder was sure-footed, he knew, and Jim's line couldn't have blown down. It just couldn't. They had been riding for almost twenty minutes. Lee could see Jim's tower in the distance. Cinder was flecked with foam and had slowed down some, but she was still do- ing her best. Suddenly, Lee saw someone riding swiftly down the trail towards him. He recognized the horse as one of Jim's long-legged speeders. “Hello, there, he called. Jim waved his hand and pulled up his horse when he came beside Lec. What are you doing over here? I saw vou from the tower and figured something was up. You sure figured right! There's a fire over at the foot of Heaven's Cliffs. It was only small when I left, but it has probably spread quite a bit by now. You'd better ride back to the tower and report it as quickly as possible. Cinder and I will come up behind. She is pretty well exhausted. Jim was already on his way. His horse seemed to fly over the ground. Cinder sud- denly found a new burst of speed and raced after him, but was soon left behind. Lee laughed and whacked her affection- ately. “Cindy, old girl, if you want to race, don't pick on Tony. He's too fast for you.” It seemed as if Jim had taken all of Lee's troubles away with him. He knew he could depend on him. Soon he reached Jim's tower. He turned Cinder loose to wander, though he hated to see so much fine timber destroyed. Jim was coming down the ladder, which rather surprised Lee, who thought he should stay up and watch the fire in case the wind arose. Then he realized Jim was laughing. Jim, what's the matter with you? Have you gone crazy ? Jim just stood there leaning against the ladder and laughing. At last, when he was able to talk, he looked at Lee. You and your fires, he said, trving to sound disgusted. “Why, what's wrong with them? re- turned Lee, rather peeved. Thirteen Well, that one happened to be one of these planes that dust for insects. The ‘smoke’ you saw was dust.” Lee stared at him unbelievingly. Just then a large plane zoomed over, leaving a white cloud of dust trailing out behind it. He looked at Jim, then he, too, began to laugh. Well, Tim, I guess I've still got a lot to learn, haven't I? Come on, Cinder. I guess we'd better go. By the way, Jim, call up the office and have them fix my line, will you? I'm not riding this distance again on a false alarm. Fae WILSON. THE STATUE OF LIBERTY On Bedloe Island, in Upper New York Bav, stands America’s greatest lady, greet- ing ships as they come into the harbor. A wonderful vision to home-coming travelers and immigrants coming to the Promised Land, she stands on a star-shaped base and holds her torch 300 feet in the air. If you were to climb the 350 steps to her head where 40 people can stand comfortably, vou would see the New York skyline and har- bor spread out below you. The statue was given to America in 1886 by France, and was made a National Monument in 1924 by President Coolidge. The war department. takes care of her, because it is the site of Fort Wood, an important military radio sta- tion. During the war, the torch was in dark- ness, and people were not permitted to visit the statue because of the grand sight offered by the harbor. But now, she shines again for all the world to see. Yes, she is our own Statue of Liberty! Viora Hatcu. BOOK REPORT Title and Author: “Farmer Takes a Wife” by John Gould. Facts about Author: Besides Farmer Takes a Wife, John Gould has written “Pre-natal Care for Fathers,” and New England Town Meet- ing. He also contributes regularly to the New York Times, the Baltimore Evening Sun. and the Christian Science Monitor. In addition, he is the owner of a weekly news- paper, the Lisbon Enterprise, published in Lisbon Falls, Maine. Fourfcen Summary : There is no actual plot to “Farmer Takes a Wife. It is simply the story of life on a Maine farm which serves to prove that a citv-bred girl can make good as a farmer's wife. Entirely untrained, John Gould's wife came to Maine equipped only with a will to learn and a sense of humor, but is soon able to turn out delicious pies and to manage a farmhouse in general as well as the best of them. The story keeps one chuckling with its amazing tales of various ancestors, and of the neighbors, past and present. Setting : The setting is a Maine farm in recent years. Characters : John Gould—a typical Maine farmer. Mrs Gould—John’s wife, who willingly gives up a life of ease in Boston, Mass., to live on a farm. She faces the hardships cheerfully and before long is termed as naturalized. Uncle Timothy—lovable great uncle, who lives with them, and has a strange craving for pies and more pies. His dry wit and endless stories, often exaggerated, keep everyone happy. Most Interesting Incident : The most interesting incident was Uncle Timothy's story of Samoset. the Indian who. in the olden days, showed up every year without fail for great grandfather's Thanks- giving dinner. Opinion : The story is very entertaining from begin- ning to end. However, I believe it tends to give people the false idea that all Mainc residents are backwoods farmers. PAULINE STEWART. BOOK REPORT The title is a “Tree Grows in Brooklyn. The author is Betty Smith. The author was born in Brooklyn in 1906. She has some sixty published one-act plays and six full length dramas to her credit, but this is her first novel. The story takes place in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. The leading characters are Francie Nolan, an eleven-year-old girl, who ever since she was born, knew how tough it could be to grow up in Williamsburg: Neely Nolan, her brother: Johnny Nolan, always singing but out of work; Katie Nolan, the mother, who keeps the family going by scrubbing floors ; Aunt Cissy, an aunt, who had a habit of marrying too many times without getting a divorce. It is the story of Francie, Neely, Johnny. and Katie Nolan. Johnny was a drinking man always out of a Job, so Katie supporte: the family by scrubbing floors all day. The Bible and a book of Shakespeare were Fran- cie's and Neely's first readers, and when l'rancie gets older she visits the library and starts to read all the books, starting at A. Reading is her favorite pastime, for through hooks she escapes into a new world. When Francie finished grammer school she goes to work, for Johnny has died and the family necds the money. A few Francie and Neely have a baby sister. The family struggles to keep going, fighting all the way. In the end, Natie marries again, this time to a policeman, and the story closes with Francie getting ready to go out with a col- lege boy she has met, and she looks down on the tree under the fire-escape. It had been cut down and the stump burned, but it was shooting up again, starting a new life just as l'rancie, her brother and mother were. The story was pretty good, but it wasn't like the Brooklyn [ know. Viora HATCH. A THRILL OF YOUTH The heavens shone brightly as we went on our way. The skating rink wasn't too far away. Skates were dangling from our shoulders small. A good time was to be had by all. Our frost-bitten faces were as red as a beet, And we had to keep moving to thaw out our feet. Although you may hear the old folks complain, To Youth, it's the thrill of living in Maine. Lorraine Hott. THE FIRST STORM OF THE YEAR The wind blew the snow, first this way, then that. It clutched at my coat; it snatched at my hat. My breath appeared as a thin frosty cloud. The trees were covered in wintery shroud. months after. ' The snow piled in drifts, then blew off in gusts. Wind screamed in delight, then fretted and fussed. The snow on my face brought tears to my eyes. “Then why was I out? I'll answer your whys.

There's all you want, In all the stores; No shortages. With shores of soft sand. The sun won't burn, You only get tanned. The hills look distant, Though they're not far away. You slide and ski On a summer day. Such is Utopia, Land of my dreams. But, is it as grand ° As it really scems? There are no wars! : UON For what do they live?

Cobb, Jr., M BOYS’ BASKETBALL Pennell had a very successful season in basketball this year, considering the fact that we lost three first team players. who gradu- ated last year. Pennell entered the tournament for the third straight year, tieing for first place in Division B of the Triple C, with Greely and Standish. Our new coach, Mr. Durgin. whom all the boys liked very much, deserves special credit for the team work and sportsmanship evi- dent among the players. None of the team are graduating this year, so we are looking forward to another suc- cessful season in 1947. FG PT TP C. Hall, 1í, 05 44 236 P. Pollard, lg. 63 16 149 C. Goff, c, 19 12 50 L.

Later, how- ever, Harly Hamilton, June Jordon, Her- bert Douglass, and Donandrea Reilly left us in that order, making the number fourteen. At our first meeting, we elected the fol- lowing officers: President, Kenneth San- born; Vice President, Donald Cooper: Secretary, Pauline Stewart: Treasurer, Donandrea Reilly. Patricia Dunn and Neil LaVallee were made Student Council members. After Donnie Reilly left us in January, she was replaced as Treasurer by Pauline Ferri. Participating in basketball were: Neil LaVallee, Henry Beck, and Kenneth San- born; while Pauline Ferri did a fine job of representing the girls. Our only event was the Freshman Recep- tion when we launched the Freshmen on their high school career. We believe they enjoyed it as much as we did. We are proud to report that our class boasts the best attendance record this year. It has been a pleasant year and we look forward to similar ones in the future. PAULINE STEWART, M8.

Only one member, Frank Anderson, left us during the year. The first school activity in which we all participated as a class was the Freshmen's Reception. To say that we did not dread it, or to boast that we were not scared would be fiction. But it didn’t prove to be as terrible as had heen expected. In fact, we enjoyed it. Next came the school hot dog roast, en- joyed by all. There have been five boys, John Webb, Kenneth Skilling, John Cobb, Malcolm Thirty-eight MacDonald, James Reilly, and seven girls. Virginia Thomas, June Anderson, Barbara Tufts, Joan. Wilson, Priscilla Pollard, Teresa Petitpas, and Joan Douvielle, go out for basketball. The cheerleader from our class is Erminie Crandall. At the annual Christmas Tree, we had the privilege of exchanging gifts with our class- mates. This proved to be fun. The average attendance of our class has been good, and we hope our scholarship will measure up equally well. Joan Docvirrrrr, 19.

McDonald: “Can a person be pun- ished for something they haven't done?” Mrs. Dempsey: Certainly not. M. McDonald: “Well, I haven't done my English. Waiter: You're not eating your fish. What's wrong with it?” P. Pollard: Long time no sea. A hurricane hit Gray and completely wrecked the library. All the books were blown away except one volume — Gone With the Wind. T. Petitpas to B. Tufts when she walks off with Walt: What's the big idea! He was annoying me first!” M. White: Whenever I'm in the dumps, I get myself a new hat. E. Verrill: I was wondering where you got them. B. Cooper: ‘He's so romantic, every time he speaks to me, he says, ‘Fair Lady. E. Humphrey: There's nothing roman- tic in that. It's just a habit; he used to be a street car conductor. Mother: Now say your prayers, Neal, and go to sleep. N. LaVallee: “God Bless ma, God Bless pa, God Bless me—rah, rah, rah!” Gypsy Rose dressed very thin, Gypsy Rose sat on a pin, Gypsy Rose. P. Douvielle applying for a telephone was heard saying: Certainly it's essential! I want a telephone to make dates and get mar- ried and have children with. Two seagulls flew over Crystal Lake and one asked the other: What's the fuss down there ? “It’s a boat race—Pennell against Porter, and I just dropped everything I had on Porter. Mr. Dempsey to a man drying dishes: Why don't you assert yourself? In my house, I just dry them. P. Dunn: The heck with all the post-war miracle stuff. I just want what I had before —especially, Joe, Bob, Bill and Ed. Teacher to a pupil: “And tell your father he still can't work those problems I taught him twenty years ago. H. Beck: Next to a beautiful girl, what do you consider the most interesting thing in the world ? C. Goff: Brother, when I'm next to a beautiful girl, I don't bother with statistics. L. Holt and A. Cousin were riding on horseback out in the country. As they stopped for a rest, the two horses rubbed necks affectionately. “Oh, me!” said Ar- nold, “that’s what I'd like to do!” Go ahead,” said Lorraine, “It’s your horse.” The battle in the Pacific is just like a tug- of-war: Yanks on one side and jerks on the other. J. Wilson: “An empty box weighs twenty pounds and then in the next minute it’s filled and weighs but fifteen pounds. What could be in it?” V. Thomas: “Holes.” A G. I. haircut is a scrubbing brush that breathes and talks. G. Kimball: A man who plays with a baseball bat is like a spider: how is that? G. White: He catches flies. J. Cobb: I like algebra when it's not over my head. K. Skilling: That's the way I feel about pigeons.” The two biggest wolves in the world are, “Chase and Sanborn”—they date every bag. Forty-one G. Humphrey: “When you go to a restau- rant, why do you always flirt with the wait- ress?” C. Hall: “I'm playing for big steaks.” J. Anderson: “This algebraa is a cinch for me. I finished these problems in ten minutes and thought nothing of it.” Mr. Dempsey: “After looking them over, T don’t think much of it either.” Mother: “What do all these zeros on your paper mean?” D. Cooper: “Nothing.” Her lips quivered as they approached his. His whole frame trembled as he looked into her eyes. Her chin vibrated and his body shuddered as he held her close to him. The moral of this: Never kiss a girl in a car with the engine running. That's the guy I'm laying for,” muttered the hen as the farmer walked by. Miss Edwards: Are your father and mother in? L. Taylor: “They was in, but they's out.” Miss Edwards: They was in. They is out! Where's your grammar ? L. Taylor: She's upstairs. Forty-two “I'm Brave Hawk,” said the Indian Chief, introducing himself to a paleface. “This is my son, ‘Fighting Bird,’ he added, “This is my grandson, ‘Four Engined Bomber.’ According to the paper, a dentist shot a girl and punctured her girdle. He'll prob- ably be sent up the river for a two-way stretch. Dore A dumb girl is a dope. A dope is a drug. Doctors give drugs to relieve pain. Therc- fore, a dumb girl is just what the doctor ordered. The judge (sternly) : Well, what's your alibi for speeding sixty miles an hour through the residence section?” The Victim: I had just heard, Your Honor, that the ladies of my wife's church were giving a rummage sale and I was hurrying home to save my other pair of , pants.’ Teacher: “Charlie, what does your father do when he finds anything wrong with his car?” Charlie B.
