1?-I-H 1-'I ' 0 f '!'ll U From the pens of brilliant Seniors--- Question: What is your idea of our foreign policies? Answer: I wouldn't want one. I've got all my insurance with Metropolitan Life. What do you think of John L. Lewis? The greatest heavy-weight champion the world's ever had, 1 What do you mean by the law of average? Ve're gonna repeal that What's your opinion of UN? I don't even know who they're playing this week. How about UNRRA? I never touch those fancy licuors. Do You agree with Yr. Taft? Well, I'll h -e-is he still nresineht? A Spinster is a oachelor's wife. A yovel is part of an egg. No is the adverb of negotiation. Women die twice as often as men. The Tower of Babel was the place where Solomon kept his wives. A hospital is where you go to be born. A cat is a quadruped, the legs, as usual, being at the four corners. A woman's brain weighs almost as much as the human brain. A gargoyle is sonething you swallow when you have a sore throat. Savnges are people who don't know what wrong is until missionaries show them. Lipstick is something which merely adds color and flavor to an old pastime. A girdle is something that keeps figures from tel- ling the truth. Refinement is the ability to yawn without opening your mouth. Kiss Boardman: Hwhy aren't you working?H Bud Thompson: HI didn't see you coming,H- '. ' .',.:... --0 -: . . . 8.1 .

- --- -- I think that I shall never see a test like those in geometry A test that makes one scratch and squirm and wonder if he'll pass the term. A test that makes one tear his hair and wish that he weren't in his chair. A test that turns one's hair to snow by asking questions I donUt know. Tesus are flunked by fools like Ne, often in geometry. Teachers, if a child annoys you, quiet him by brushing his hain. If this doesn't work, use the other side of the brush on Uhe other end of the child. Joyqe T: Did you ever take chloroform? Alta Nae: No, who teaches it? History bored him, evidently. Said Larry, HFor the first time in my life I envied my feet. They went to sleep.n A school inspector visiting classes one day, became provoked at the noise students were making in an adjoining classroom. Angnily he opened the door, grabbed one of the taller boys whoiseemed to be doing the most talking, and dragged him into thelnext room. A few minutes later a boy cautiously opened theidoor saying, NPlease, sir, may we have our teacher back?u NSay, Dad,H began Herb W., NNiss Boardman says it's the law of gravitation which keeps us from falling off the world when it keeps on turning every twenty-four hours. Nhat I can't figure out is how folks stuck on before the law was passed.H Sorry, boy, I just couldn't plan an introduction. Shews not here for dating, she's here for instruction. Although against young love I am no preacher, ' The gal you've got your eye on is the new teacher. Coach, you look all in today. What's the trouble?n Well, I didn't get home until after daylight, and I was un- dressing when my wife woke up and said: NAren't you getting up pretty early?N In order to save an argument, I just put on my clothes and came down to school.
