Though in a bunch he is just one of the “Seniors,” he is very outstanding to us and all who know him. Our prediction: “He will go far.” When Georgia left us before school ended, she left a vacant place which no one else could fill. During her high school career, Georgia made many Iriends who wish her much happiness and suc- cess in the future. 26 ANNE PEARL BAUGH (Old Timer) Lindbergh Literary Society ' 28, ’zq, ’30 , ’31; Commercial Club ’ 30 , ’31; Snapshot Committee Oriole ' 31.

S. will miss you next year. We wonder whom you will tease when you leave us. It was a pleasure to have had some one in our class with the jolly dis- position Ralph has.

Success to you, Hal. 29 ALICE FRANCES BREEDLOVE {Bozo) Jefferson Literary Society ’29, ’30, ’31 ; Commercial Club ’30, ’31 ; Phy- sics Club ’30, ' 31; Literary Com- mittee of Oriole ’31. Alice is not as talkative as the rest of us, but through her quiet- ness we see one of the best friends of the school. We know Alice will succeed in whatever field she chooses and will come out on top with all the seniors shouting, “We’re backing you, Alice.” WILLIAM BLAKE WRIGHT {Blake) Jefferson Literary Society ' 29, ’ 30 , ' 3 1 ; Boys ' Hi- Y ' 30, ' 31 ; Monogram Chib ' 30, ’31; Baseball ' 29, ' 30; Basketball ’29, ’30, ’31; Snapshot Committee Oriole ' 31.

We know she will be a success in anything, and for her success and toward her success go the best wishes of our class. S. N. came to us in his senior year. We knew little of him, but have since learned his good dis- position. He has quite a lot of artistic ability and also has made us all confident he will succeed in any line. 31 HENRY DONALD MARTIN ( Henny) Lindbergh Literary Society ' 28, ' 2Q, ' 30, ' ji; Boys ' Hi-Y ' jo, ’ji; Com- mercial Club ' 30, ' ji; Vice-Presi- dent Le Circle Francois ' 31 ; School Orchestra ' 30; Club Committee of Oriole ’31.

Elizabeth, known more familiar- ly to us as “Boo,” has made us love the three-lettered word that ordinarily frightens us. “Boo” has made all friends, no enemies, in her school career, and her deter- mination to get what she goes after will be one of her foremost assets. NEIL ALEXANDER FINE (Alex) Jefferson Literary Society ’30, ' 31; Boys ' Hi-Y ’30, ’31; High School Orchestra ' 30; Athletic Association ’30, ' 31 ; Joke Committee Oriole ’31.

She has climb- ed the stairway of our thoughts, and may she always be at the top of all “stairs.” In size quite small, but in our thoughts quite large. Our class would not have been complete without you, Charles, for it takes “small ones and large ones” to make a world. Your ready smile and mischievousness are certain to bring you joy and success.

She is always ready when called upon and and industrious, good student. It will take a real accomplishment to satisfy her. We know Mabel will be greatly missed in old P. H. S. and we wish her much success in every undertaking. so Class Poem Up the stairs of tomorrow, With the promise of life ' s brighter year We climb thru the dust and cobwebs Of yesterday’s joys and tears. We’ve trudged thru these halls of learning, Dragging our specials and l ‘Lits,” Stealing some f un in between times, And feeding on knowledge and grits. But now we have reached the exit, We stand with backward looks, One hand clasping the latch of life, The other clasping our books. But the time has come to leave them, Text books stay behind, And we ' ll take up the ponderous volume Life has planned for us to find. So, farewell, Alma Mater, Bond memory will keep Thy watch fires ever burning In our heart ' s recesses deep. Russell Williams, ' ji. Class History NCE upon a time, many long years ago, we fifty-six Seniors were seventy-nine Freshmen, remarkable for good looks and exemplary conduct. Our various idiosyncrasies were industriously pointed out by the Sophomores, espe- cially Mary Board’s talent for conversing fluently and continuously. Ollie Ingles joined us then and her prospects for yelling were promising; she is now our cheer leader. In that memorable year the walls of the school were painted, with each pupil giving a small donation, while the walls of the auditorium were painted by the School Board. As Sophomores we were fewer but still as famed, now and then con- tributing numbers to the Literary Society programs, with Margaret Rauhof as our star performer. Also, while we were Sophomores there was a stunt night in which each class gave a stunt, ours being a mock wedding and proving a great success. We sponsored an art exhibit and as a result some paintings were purchased for the auditorium. There were no “Jollier Juniors” than we, with “Biz” Cox as a rare specimen, and added much to the life of the school, though we did not think of annoying the teachers. Mabel Lewey can explain her healthy size by the Kiwanis luncheons which she attended that year. So you see we had some good scholars, even then. As Juniors we helped more with the Oriole than previously and Robert King donated an essay. Bud Neily was our president. He did well. We explain that by saying that he is a mem- ber of the class of ’31. Now we are fifty-six Seniors as before stated. S. N. Hurst, Jr., has joined us and proves to be an athlete in about the class as Jack Bones, Jim Joe Crockett, Alfred Whitt, and Frank Flkins. Neil Fine also dropped in on us the last year and adds distinction to the class with his music. With Anna Snider, editor-in-chief, Jim Joe Crockett, business manager, and Miss Du Val as sponsor the Oriole is published, a very good book this year. 52 11 f) H 11 The Oriole play, “Miss Blue Bonnet,” was a big success and we greatly enjoyed backing Mary Board and Dorothy Neighbours in the cast. As you see, the class of ’31 has prize scholars, athletes, business ability, musicians, artists, orators and debaters; but I would not do the class justice if I failed to mention the school-girl complexions of Charlie White, Regina Bowles, and myself. Diplomas are received, and we joyfully and sorrowfully leave this school to the class of ’32, hoping that they will take as good care of it as we have done before them. This is the solemn and sacred history of my class. Yours truly and very sincerely, Katherine Knapp, ’ 31 . 53 M Class Prophecy HAVING finished my training course at Wurno, thought 1 had seen enough of that kind of life, so decided to travel. Not having seen Elizabeth Cox for some time and hearing that she was going to V. P. I., I plan to drop in on her. She is tired of school life so decides to go with me as a chaperon. While I am at V. P. I. I see Virgil Anderson who is head of the dairy department; he is prospering very well, and with Julius Gray as his assistant old V. P. I. does not seem the same. Frank Elkins is stable boy, and as he shows great interest in the dairy business he has great hopes of some day becoming manager. We travel on and decide to visit Chicago, as the newspaper which Lilburn Jonas edits is overflowing with the mighty deeds and acts of the “Crockett Gang,” which includes Jim Joe Crockett, Dink Whitaker, Tom Huddle, Otis Marshall, and Alfred Whitt, who terrorize the animals of the “Wirt” zoo with their manner of eating peanuts. After visiting these ferocious specimens, we are rushed out to the air- port to take oft for New York in “Speed” Richardson’s airplane, much to Biz’s delight. On arriving at New York, we are met by Virginia Coleman in her limousine, with her chauffeur “Pat” Bocock. She takes us to Madame Board’s famous and exclusive designing department. Then we see Mabel Lewey, Margaret Manuel, Rena Sue Groseclose, and Helen Morehead as models. All of them are dressed in beautiful clothes designed by Madame Board. We are rushed upstairs by Henry Martin, the daredevil elevator boy. Up there we are shown to the radio broadcasting office by the same dare- devil Henry, and hear Miss Ruth Johnson broadcasting over station WJZ. We stay, charmed by her wonderful voice. The next number we hear is “She’ll be Cornin’ Down the Mountain,” sung by our own Graham Davis. It is time for dinner and we are escorted by Virginia Coleman to her home where the door is opened by Jack Bones, the venerable butler. After a delightful dinner we are taken to Madison Square Garden, to see the “Mighty” Hurst in a prize fight with Primo Canerio. We are very much surprised to find that Sam has improved and is actually able to strike him once. Tiring of this bloodthirsty performance, we decide to go to a night 54 club. There we see Nancy Barnwell, Evelyn Tucker, Bertha Lee Spraker, Margaret Rauhof, Geraldine and Judith Keister, and Pearl Baugh enter- taining New York society by dancing in a sprightly manner. We are having a grand time, but as we are rushed for time we leave at midnight on the good ship “Rose Petals” bound for Paris. Seven days later we sight land. We are met by Regina Bowles and Anna Snider, who own a very large and exclusive hotel. This is a place for the very cream of society, and imagine how well Anna and ’Gina fit in! Here we find Virginia White and Irene Rupe as private secretaries to these two distinguished ladies. The next day we visit the famous museums and newspaper offices and see Alice Breedlove and Dorothy Neighbours as newspaper reporters. Dot looks very dignified with her long hair and large horn-rimmed specs. Alice knows all about the latest accidents, the inventions, the society scandals, and everything from Watson’s latest sale on down. She is a regular hand for information. We visit the offices of Dwight Wohlford, who is in the wine dealing business with Hal Painter. They remind us of Cohen and Kelly: both think they know all about the business and — for a wonder — they get along very well! We hear that Bob Crabtree and Bud Neily are in Paris, so we are going to visit them. We find Bob is a tailor and Bud is his good looking model. Bud does the advertising while Bob does the selling, greatly bene- fited by his large speech organs and French phrases he learned from Miss Blair while in Pulaski High. We leave Paris the next day as we want to see the big bull fight in Spain. On our way we pass by the Cannibal Islands and so we decide to visit our old friend Calvin Hurst while the ship stops for fuel. Calvin is now the governor of the Cannibal Islands and has at last found some one who will listen to his ideas as to how a government should be run. His assistant and private secretary is Nelle Hailey. Just before we leave we hear an awful noise and see a great crowd gathered around a stump. We go over to investigate and find “Skeebie” King standing on the stump auctioning stove pipe hats and celluloid collars to the natives. Now the whistle blows and we have to go back to our ship. When we reach Spain we are met by Nei! Fine, who is a professor at a university and stands up all day expounding his theories on geometry. His stenographer and social secretary is Elizabeth Morehead. We go to the arena to see Early Jordan fight the handsome and danger- ous bull. Oh! here comes the handsome toreador dressed in yellow! And who is the fair senorita leaning over the balcony throwing roses upon the famous Leo, fighter of bulls? Of course it is Frances Kash, who has come to wish him luck. Alas, Leo is hurt and is carried out of the arena, and Emma Myers, a trained nurse, takes charge of him and nurses him back to his rightful beauty, though he will soon fight and loose it again. Now “Biz,” my worthy chaperon, and I are off to the wilds of Africa. As we are traveling along visiting pyramids and places of interest, we come upon Russell Williams and Charles White, extracting articles from the tomb of King Shoam, searching for biscuits just like mother use to make. There was mosquito netting over their heads as they are greatly bothered by the insects and pests that Charles sprays with flv-tox while Russell digs. It is an amusing sight, but we must now go to the good old America. We sail and as we are crossing the English channel we pass Katherine Knapp trying to swim across with her lunch on her back. She’ll get to England and then join us on her trip home. We have had a delightful time and will try to settle down for another fifty years when we will take another trip to cheer old age. jpAST ILL AND ESTAMENT s ' 7 rm ” E, THE Senior Class of Pulaski High School, being of un- ( Js I sound mind, reposing memory and not much understand- ing, realizing that our scholastic career is about ended, and being desirous of leaving some remembrance to the faculty and others, although we do not have much faculty for leaving, do make and constitute this our last will and testament: To the City of Pulaski we bequeath an overflow of both banks — -ol Peak Creek and the blueprints for a community house and a new school building.

Inez Bunts and Virginia White leave their reserved seat in a Hupmobile to anyone who is able to beat them to it. Jim Joe Crockett gives and bequeaths his sonorous voice to Billy Carson. Virginia Coleman and Katherine Knapp will their incomprehensible giggles, their private and personal jokes and intangible secrets to Catherine Wood and Carmen Dalton. Elizabeth Cox, for the gratification of the faculty, leaves her meek, quiet, demure and submissive disposition to the entire Junior Class.

H. S. history would he too great a task so 1 will say only a few words in regard to the first two years of our educational career and confine my efforts to writ- ing that of the Junior year. No doubt it will seem insipid when compared with the Junior History, nevertheless, we will record it to show we have not been idle. It was in September, 1928, that we began our career in Pulaski High School. We entered into the spirit of acquiring an education with all the confidence of the inexperienced, but our confidence was short lived for we were soon shown our place by our superiors. We were awed by the dignified Seniors; we wondered at the disdainful Juniors, and were in con- stant tear of the sophisticated Sophomores. It was in our Sophomore year that we were taught the real worth of education. We really settled down to hard study, and when our final exams were passed and we became Juniors we began to realize that we were being rewarded for our honest toil. When the first semester opened on September 8th sixty-eight Juniors entered P. H. S. portals with an all important air and an optimistic view for the year 1930-31. After the preliminaries of arranging schedules and organizing classes, we elected the following officers who have proved most competent: Eliza- beth Albert, president; Wilbur Lewey, vice-president; and Thelma Shep- pard, secretary-treasurer. The most important event of our Junior year took place when we re- ceived our class pins and rings. It was a gala day for us when we donned our emblems of the spirit of P. H. S. We have done our bit in athletics. The manager of both the girls and boys basketball teams were fro m the Junior room, and seventeen Juniors were represented in the different athletic teams. There were many talented students in the Junior class ot ’30 and ’31 — artists, poets, musicians, declaimers, and debaters, who will aid in making another and greater page in history. We have seen our duties and performed them. As we continue up the ladder of education and success, we will remember the faculty; and in the memory of their kindness and encouragement, we will aspire to the greater things of life.

This being the second year of the strife and being now under the efficient commandership of Generals Croswhite and Pugh we entered into the fight with a renewed courage and strength, with a determination to conquer and to emerge victorious and with colors flying. Nor has our struggle been an easy one. Javelins of criticism have been hurled, bombs of tests have been dropped, and then in January came the hardest of the combats, the “Mid-Term Battle.” After a week of hard drilling we marched into the field. Some of our members were slain and left behind, others were badly wounded, but the majority of our regiment came through safely, some even gaining honors for themselves. Encouraged again by the result of the first half of the campaign and thinking of the glory which awaited at the end, we continued to put up a good fight hoping that by the end of our “War for Knowledge” we would each be awarded a “Medal of Honor” for our studiousness, perseverance, and accomplishments.

About the middle week of January examinations were in evidence, and after many sleepless nights we were happy to hear that we had successfully passed them. Leaving exams behind us we returned with renewed vigor to the reg- ular routine, and incidentally promised our teachers to study harder and to put forth more eager effort toward reaching the goal of Sophomores.

Catherine Wood , ’32. 76 0f Sood (Banners •-:[ This essay was written in imitation of Francis Bacon. p- ■’HE MATTER of good manners might, upon first consideration, seem too trivial for the serious thoughts of a reflecting mind. It often appears as a veneer that hides the true quality of the heart beneath, or as a defrauder’s wax to conceal and disguise the broken or worn parts. Again it is like smoke that would appear to give evidence of great flames when in reality only a few smothered coals exist. But these criticisms apply only when the manners are affected by a thoughtless one who wishes to push himself and to make a good impression instead of caring for the comforts or feelings of others. Sincere good manners develop from a heart that is unselfish, and are used by those who have a genuine anxiety for the happiness of their associates. The observance of courtesies should by no means be too elab- orate, for over-indulgence, even in politeness, is to be avoided and gives a suspicion of sham. In simple and unpretentious manner let a man both speak and act so as to inspire in his companions a feeling of ease, com- fort and good fellowship. In social life many situations arise in which keen and ready wit must come to the aid of kindly feelings to prevent acute embarrassment and lasting pain. Often one is present at an important function when a flash of humor injected at precisely the right moment will turn a peri od of solemn dignity into one of informal but genteel freedom. In the development of good manners, asin other virtues, practice makes perfect. One who feels awkward and out of place in the presence of his equals on occasions of gayety naturally shrinks from society in general. Patient practice can remedy this malady and restore such a one to his true place of poise, grace and joviality. Good manners are cherished by all high-minded men and women, and are developed through kindness of heart and cleanness and cleverness of wit. Perfection of manners may be attained by adding to these natural graces close observation of the use and abuse of social customs and by the diligent practice of true courtesy at all times. Robert Kino, ’jj. 78 [Night The moon hung low , Held to heaven by a chain of stars; Along the river banks, The elms and willows silhouetted against the sky Were caught in a golden net Of moving fireflies, And mingled with the stillness of it all The soft laugh of rippling waters, The dainty incense of night flowers. Through the maze of silver-shadowed leaves. Through the heart of silence came the song Of a lonely nightingale ; The tree tops sighed — And all was still again. Dorothy Wallner, ’32. 79 Tropical Vight ' HE SUN, a small red orb in the distance, had just been ex- tinguished in the deep blue Pacific. I looked out over the lagoon, where small tropical bats winged their way back and forth darting now and then close to the water in search of the millions of small tropical insects. Swiftly, like a blanket, darkness enveloped the island. The birds chirped sleepily in their nests as the gentle wind swayed the tree tops, and with their song there was blended the faint murmur of the billowing beach grass as the wind swept through it, and the gentle “lap lap” of the water on the beach completed nature’s song. In the fast dimming light the spicy odor of the jungle grew sweeter and the shadow of the trees on the grass grew vague and less distinct, then vanished altogether — the night had come. Slowly I arose and walked down the beach to the small native town, the dirty lanterns with which it was lit making it stand out like an oasis of light in the desert of darkness. Slowly f walked down the narrow, crook- ed street, halting here and there in the tea rooms which were filled with crowds of women clad in flimsy dresses, and men in white, who swayed in rhythmic motion to the tunes of the native musicians. Seating myself at a corner table, I slowly sipped the tepid wine, and allowed my thoughts to wander back to the cities filled with crowds of men and women who moved with clock-like regularity. Their lives were spent futilely clutching after a few paltry dollars. Once again I turned my steps toward the beach, where, lying on my back, 1 watched the crescent-shaped tropical moon shining through the branches of a giant palm upon the waters of the lagoon below. A cloud passed across the moon weirdly tingeing the waves that rolled upon the beach. The cloud passed leaving the waves a dark blue but al- ways tipped with silver. No longer did I think of home, or my friends, nor did I wish to see them again. I did not know it then, but 1 had fallen entirely under the spell of the tropics. Hal Painter , ' 31 . ( 5 ) Q)ew The dew Has covered the grass Like a silver shadow, As stlent and unseen As the opening of flower buds. In the early morn It will sparkle like diamonds When the sun ' s joyous eye First peeps o ' er the hill. After that it will be as a gentle sigh Breathed ■ — Then gone. Its silver webs of lace will vanish Like a kindly deed — Forgotten. Miriam Br alley, ’32. Smiles ' HERE are smiles that make me happy, there are smiles that make me blue.” Watch some of the smiles that are flashed your way. Now, there’s the friendly smile accompanied by twinkling eyes. It is a smile that makes you warm inside and helps to brighten an otherwise dreary day. In direct contrast to this smile the one none of us like to think about a politely upturned mouth but not a single trace of a smile in the eyes. This sends a slight shiver through you and reminds you of an empty house with vacant, staring windows. And then the sad smile, one in which laughter and tears are mingled, one which usually comes from a person who has had a great sorrow, yet has the happy faculty of being able to smile. Then there’s the slightly triumphant smile, or should we say “smirk?” accompanied by a sort of steely glitter in the eyes, that somehow calls to mind a fat, complacent cat after having swallowed a canary. Non-discriminating is a baby’s smile — a baby with its wide, innocent eyes regards the whole world as its friend. A baby usually smiles for no good reason at all, but did you know that when a baby smiles in its sleep an angel is kissing it? A little baby’s smile is quite contagious, sparkling, bubbling — filled with the joy of living that brings to mind the sunlight flittering through a screen of leaves on a laughing brook. To me an elderly person’s smile is above them all. It has been tem- pered by the storms of life; it knows the strength and weaknesses of mankind and there is always a look of quiet waiting in the old person’s eyes. Mark Twain said, “Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.” And if a person carries a ready smile aren’t we always glad to see that person? There are smiles and smiles and smiles — for everyone has his own particular one. Remember that ‘‘The world is good-natured to people who are good-natured.” Charlotte Saunders, ’j2.

Frank — For the same reason that the hen crossed the road; you can’t catch me on them riddles. Old Lady -When your grandfather was young, Bud, he always wore heavy red underwear. Bud — But that was when he had to sit on one of those old hair cloth sofas. Mrs. Hall — My husband had a hope chest too, before we were married. Miss Blair — For mercy sakes! What was in it? Mrs. Hall — Old socks; he hoped I’d darn them. Russell Williams — Some men thirst after fame, some men thirst after love, and some after money. Biz Cox — I know something they all thirst after. Russell — What ? Biz — Salted almonds. Dwight Wohlford — Daddy, I want to see the average. Mr. Wohlford — What are you talking about? This is a poultry farm we’re visiting. Dwight — Yes, but I heard the man say that the hens lay six eggs a week on the average. Pearle Baugh— If the wild Howers didn’t blossom, Or the buds start on the rose, I’d still know that summer is coming By the surest sign that grows — - I’ve an extra crop of freckles In full bloom upon my nose. Jack Bones — I know a lot of new tricks. I can imitate any bird you mention. Lena Berry — Let’s see you imitate the homing pigeon. 118 Mrs. Hall — Charles, you may give me a sentence using the word “ban- . � � quet. Charles White — When the band quits we will have some music. Virginia White — I want to meet the first officer of this boat. Steward — He is forward, Miss. Virginia I don’t care; this is a pleasure trip anyway. Doctor — Did you follow my advice and drink hot water an hour before breakfast. Jack Bones — -I tried to, Doc, honest. But after the first ten minutes I couldn’t get any more down. Pat Bocock — Science can predict an eclipse of the sun years in advance, but it can not forecast a blowout over the week-end. Early Jordan — Do you see that man standing over there next to the flivver with the golf pants on? Ollie Ingles — I see the young man all right, but where is the flivver with the golf pants on? Mr. Walker — Let’s hear you prove the square upon the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of this triangle. Bob Crabtree — Let’s not waste time, Mr. Walker, let’s just admit it. As Fred Kinzer, Charles Bowles, and Walter Ingles were walking home with Miss Kinder, from school, Charles threw a stone at a bumblebee. “Oh,” cried Miss Kinder, “Don’t do that, he will sting you.” “Aw,” said Charles, “He won’t know which one of us hit him.” Miss Dalton — (in Science) — Now, Roswell, how many seasons are there? Roswell Seagle — Do you mean in the United States? Miss Dalton — -Yes. Roswell — Two. Miss Dalton — Only two; name them. Roswell — Football and baseball. Miss Blair (in French class) — We will have a test on French Monday. Hal Painter — No, please don’t; every time I take my books home over the week-end I lose them. 119 Dorothy Wallner (in Math class) — I am awful sleepy, Mr. Walker. May I go to sleep? Mr. Walker — Yes, if you won’t make any noise. Mrs. Hall — Doctor, my husband talks in his sleep. What can I do to help him? Doctor — Try letting him talk a little in the day time. Jim Joe — You should see the new altar in our church. Margaret Rauhof — -Lead me to it. Dorothy N. — So you and Ralph Bocock are to be married. I thought it was a mere flirtation. Judith K. — So did Ralph. Mistress (to maid) — Dorothy, did you sweep behind that door? Dorothy Neighbours — Yes, mum, I sweeps everything behind that door. The rolling pin contest was won by Mrs. Harry H. Hall, who threw the rolling pin 67 feet. Mr. Hall won the 100 yard dash for married men. Joe Dink W. — How did Mr. Dismuke die? Jim Joe C. — He kicked a mule. Dink — Kicked a mule! Jim Joe — Yes, and the mule returned the compliment. Mrs. Byrd — How is it, sir, that I find you kissing my niece, Dorothy? How is it, sir? Fred Whitaker — Great! Great! Miss Dalton (in Science class) — If we breathe oxygen in the day what do we breathe at night? Stephen Ham — Nitrogen. Miss Pugh (in fourth year History) — Of what trade are all presidents? Anna Snider — Cabinet makers. Boo Morehead — The name of what character in history would a person mention in asking the servant to put coal on the fire? Biz Cox — Oh, I dunno. Boo — Philip the Great. (Fill up the grate.) 120 Margaret Rauhof When are potatoes used for mending clothes? Bertha Lee Spraker — What a silly question; how should I know? Margaret — Uh! When they are put in patches. Mrs. Board — Mary, you may take Fido out and give him some air. Mary Board — Yes ma’m, and please ma’m, where will I find the filling station? Mr. Walker (in Geometry class, after watching Hal Painter and Virginia Coleman play hands for a while) Ain ' t love grand? (Still the engrossed couple did not pay attention.) Mr. Walker — -Hal, when I was going to school I used to like to play hands with the girls, too. Russell Williams (on a Pullman car) — George, I am a very heavy sleeper and l would like to get up early; would you mind calling me early? George Sho’, boss, we’se got a special system fo’ dat. See dis little button here? Well dat’s for service; when you wants to be waked you press on dis button and I comes and calls you. Biz Cox How far is it from Pulaski to Wvtheville? Otis M. — Twenty-six miles. Biz — How far is it from Wvtheville to Pulaski? Otis — Twenty-six miles, of course. Biz — Well, don’t be so sure of yourself. It’s only one week from Christmas to New Year but it’s a whole year between New Year and Christ- mas. Jim Joe Crockett— -Phew, it’s awful hot for spring. Jo Board — -You ought to be thankful it is no worse. Suppose we were in Arkansas. Wouldn’t that be awful! Jim Joe — Arkansas. Why? Jo — You better study your georgraphy lesson. The geography says Arkansas is famous for its hot springs. “See who is on the phone, ” said the boss to the office boy. “Some one who wants dearest,” the youngster shouted. (Bud Neilv, Bob Crabtree, Beauregard Richardson, Jack Bones, Robert King, and Frank Elkins got up absently and moved toward the telephone.) Mrs. Whitaker — Frederick, I heard that instead of going to Sunday school you played ball. Frederick — That ain’t true, and I got a string of fish to prove it. 121 Our advertisers have helped make possible the publishing of this book.
