Where is that little story that you wrote? My English teacher said to me. ' I tore it up, I guess, said I. Best thing you ever did, said she. Andy: If this assembly were quite once, I should have heart failure. Someone dreamed that he died and when he got to the gates St. Peter gave him some chalk and said to put a mark on every step for the sins he had committed. When he got quite a ways down he met me! Asked what I was do- ing there. I said I was going back for more chalk. In Physics-Emmons: When are we going to get to some- thing we like? Mac: Tonight, probably. Olive R.

Val: Why, Nathalie and Blanche have let their eyebrows go a week without plucking them. Ruby: fConcerning the early American people! and they I were slumbering still. Bessie: Must be they didn't snore. Howard: Have you noticed Floy's permanent wave? Makes you think you're on an ocean wave. Waite: Makes you fairly seasick to look at it.

Marjorie: When I get to heaven I'm going to ask Shakespeare if he really wrote all of his plays. Marie: What if he isn't there? Marjorie: Well then, you ask him. Ward P.: I thought you took Algebra last year. John A.: I did, but the faculty was so pleased with my work that they encored me. Harry: Tell me Cora, why that sadness, Tell me, why that look of care, Why has fled that look of gladness That thy face is want to wear? Cora: Harry 'tis useless to dissemble, Well, my face may wear a frown, For I've lost my largest hair pin, And my chig non's coming down. CLASSIFIED Valfred: Were you ever in an auto that turned turtle? Harry: No, my old car acts more like a lobster. Absolutely harmless, guaranteed: Marjorie Hammond. The P. H. S. infant:- Valfred Johnson. OH SAY! Remember the afternoon that Barbara sat on the chicken house roof that Arnold might see her? Val says if the Revolutionary war hadn't happened as yet it must have been the Civil war. Mr. Andrews at foot ball practice: The grounds there all the time, Waite, you don't have to feel for it. We wonder if Bessie Lancaster has done very much studying since the seats have been re-arranged. Nathalie Emmons: Come on Blanche, sit on a front seat with me. Blanche: Naw that's kindergarten. N. E.: Then why aren't you up here? Vera held door on Agnes. Vera won. Andrews had just told the Physics class that he never lived on a farm but worked there once in a while and Blanche asked, What did you do, lead the chickens to Wat- er ? Andrews moderately replied, No but I used to curry them once in a while. Lives of Seniors all remind us We should try to do our best, And departing leave behind us Notebooks that will help the rest. PHYSICS CLASS Mr. Andrews: Why do you lean forward going up hill? Harry Mc.: So if my foot should slip I Wouldn't fall so far. Valfred Johnson thanked his lucky stars that Ellen was a Senior last year. Is there no preventitive for the everlasting 'no', ex- claimed one of the teachers.

TO MR. ANDREW I love the pep In his manly step And the swain in his handsome form The strength that appears, He gets in his meals I know for I've seen him perform. THE FACULTY Mr. Bates in the office All the live long day On some days he calls some down For a friendly chat they say. Mr. Andrew knows the physics book From one end to the other He coached the well known basket ball team Whose skill excelled all others. Miss O. Ritzenthaler teaches English And she's busy all the day. Just pointing out and showing us The proper things to say. Miss Nelson's always happy And finds living quite worth while No matter where you meet her She greets you with a smile. Miss DeGaris in her study room Some place along the hall Is so very, very quite She's hardly heard at all. Miss E. Ritzenthaler knows the best book From one to the other cover, She also teaches French So they all know one language from the other Mrs. Olmstead-she teaches music And on every Tuesday and Friday We have one half hour chorus And we all sing whatever she puts before us,
