EXCHANGE Welcome, faithful readers. tthat goes for all three of you.J Before getting down to business I'd like you all to know that if there any of you who would like to contribute something to this column, please don't hesitate to send it in. It will promptly be sent back with a per- sonally autographed rejection notice. I would like to thank the anonymous Sophomore who sent me a book titled f'The Proper Use of the English Lang- uage . He must read this column regu- larly. Speaking of the Lnglish language look what The Owl of Regis High School did to some standard definitions Daffymtlons Blotter something you look for while the ink dries Drizzle two drips going steady Advice the one thing t s more blessed to give than to receive Experience the name that men give their mistakes Radical anyone whose opinion differs from ours Swell head natures frantic effort to fill a vacuum 0 Something new has been added This issue we present a preview of the many fine movies that Powerrtes should attend First Movie Hit Good Noose A joyous and colorful musical about an executioner who hangs pictures on his day off Light entertainment with fun in the death house Suzie Crutch is swell as a girl who wants a table for Christmas but instead is given the chair. This movie should scare all prospective crew-cut aspirants. Second Hit: Adventures of Don Swan A robust tale of chivalry when men wore knight clothes even in the day time. Don Swan, a chimney sweep. is an ar- dent sooter who after many romances falls down a chimney and dies of a broken hearth. TO ALL TEACHERS Standard Procedure Instructions on death of students It has been recently brought to the attention of the Office that many stu dents have been dying for apparently no good reason during class Furthermore the same students are refusing to fall over after they are dead This in some cases has lead to tardiness for the fol lowing class Thzs Practice Must Stop At Once On and after january 1 1952 any student found sitting up after he has died will be dropped from the Academy at once without further argument under Regulation 207 Section S tNon learn ing student clausej XX here it can be proyen that the stu dent is being held up by a desk type writer or any other support owned by the school a ninety 1903 day period of grace will be granted The following procedure will be strict ly adhered to lf after several hours it is noticed that any student has not moi ed or changed position the teacher will investigate Because of the highly Sensitive nature of our students, and the close resemblance between death and their natural working attitude, the in- vestigation should be made quietly so as to prevent waking the student if he is asleep, which is permitted under the pre- sent school regulations. If some doubt exists as to the true condition, a sick pass may be used as a final test. If the student does not reach for it, it may be reasonably assumed that death has oc- curred. NOTE: In some cases the instinct is so strongly developed that a spasmodic clutching reflex may occur Dont let this fool you In all cases a sworn statement must be filed by the dead person on a special form provided for non learning students Fifteen tl5j copies will be required Three C33 copies will be sent to the Principal s office two C21 to the Regis trar one C11 to the State Coroners Office two Q21 to the Office to prevent re enrollment and the rest will promptly be lost in the school files 0 From the Regis Quarterly a Latin gem Pricus erat barbatus Qui dixit Ut formidatus, Bubonibus fulica Pavonlbus cassita, Barba nidus est aedificatus KW hzch translated means Q There was an old man with a beard XX ho said It is just as I feared Two owls and a hen, Four larks and a wren Have all built their nests in my beard HARVEY By Tom Cadogan WE WILL STUD THE LIRE OF A BEFCH ' WHO WILL VOLLJN EER T LQET SOME 1,-.A 'AFECH NUI5 en 'gn 5-XLD7 'N 5-A i-brvlf BEEN ssmzcmn ron HOuPS Y ' r HAVEN r even roumb A WAIFLZ LILY NEVER MIND BELCH NUTS' 441.gif 5 X-Jgilfff Lf February 18 1952 93 . 4. .
