THE GOLDEN-ROD School Notes. $ 0 Wanted: Appropriation for a megaphone for Miss M-----’06. Mr. H-g-n ’06 has been asked which class he likes best, ’05 or '07. He is interested in both. Mr. H-b-k, why is a Crow? ’Cause. Mr. S-----'06 has a great faculty for quot- ing (?) phrases from Shakespeare. Mr. II----’s mind has become highly elevated of late. He has his place of abode in the third story. Miss B-z-o ’06 (translating)—Another part brought in the bier. Self-seeking people are not the ones most sought after. Take warning, Mr. P.------’06. This expression is familiar to Latin IV. “ Speak a little more loudly please.” Wanted: A few contributions for Miss F-----’s bank. Young “Bub” makes up in his head what he lacks in stature. M-r-t ’06 seems very fond of games, especial- ly Boll. Why should not Miss P-k-d ’06 be fond of hunting when there is De Forest in Quincy. No wonder the Study Hall girls are always cheerful, since there is a Hay (of sunshine) in the school. Tell Miss T-----’07 to go hire a hall. Mr. L-----’06 came to school the other day with his hair plastered down. Who stole the curling irons? Why doesn’t the cooking class give the teachers some of its dainties ? We would all like a holiday. Mr. B-dg-r ’07 has at last found a close rival in the sophomore class. Wanted: A pencil sharpener for Mr. De F— ’06. Who throws matches on the floor? Beware, look before you leap. The cooking teacher remarks that carrots are good for the hair. To whom shall we give them first? In Latin III: Teacher: What race inhabited this country? Pupil: The potato race. The class of '07 ought to start an opposition to Austin Stones, with Mr. B—, the fat man, Mr. H—, the living skeleton and Mr. G—, the midget. It is a sure sign of spring when the birds re- turn from the south. But how can we account for it? We have had Bobbins in our midst all winter. To Miss C - - p - - n:— Yes, “ We have sighed to rest us.” When list'ning to your voice, And when you cease We are at peace And then do we rejoice, That there are few such girls as you Who think that they can sing. Music we love all else above; — Noise is another thing. Miss F-g-n 06 (translating Virgil)—“Three times I tried to put my arms around his neck— and that was as far as I got.” Teacher: “That is quite far enough, sit down.”

THE GOLDEN-ROI) The price of meats, especially Lamb, is now very high. When do you go up, G----------? There was a youth in our school, And he was wondrous big, He jumped into a foot-ball game, And now he’s on the pig. Mr. C - - gs, ’08. A fit subject for History IV debate would be, ‘Should High School have a doctor? ” One of the arguments of the affirmative would be, “ Yes, the cooking class is in progress.” Mr. Harry A—, late of Quincy High School, is a fair runner and at present it is generally believed that he is training for a Mil—. How I love its giddy gurgle How I love its fluent flow How I love to wind my mouth up How I love to hear it go. Miss Ah—rn ’06. The faculty is thinking seriously of punish- ing the ill behaved pupils by forcing them to help in the building of the addition, thus sav- ing the cost of extra labor. Who would be first? Pupil: Do you believe that heat ascends? Miss S. Certainly. Pupil: Well it is peculiar that all the heat in the drawing room is in the janitor’s apart- ment in the basement. Physics Teacher: What answer did you get for the water pressure upon the dam ? Pupil: I have not done the dam problem yet. The following incident happened in Latin III Teacher: What is above Italy? A studious youth : The sky. It is reported in the select society of the school that Miss P - - k-d 00 is collecting material for a romantic novel which she will publish after her departure from school. Mr. J— ’06 lias a great attraction for the fair sex, especially at recess. Can’t you find anyone else, Ray? Part of Miss K—’s happy family has taken up its abode in Miss T—’s room, much to the regret of Miss T— who finds the pupils of Math. II-C more interested in furnishing a lunch for the small beings than in their lessons. TIbe Cooking Glass The cooking class is now Indeed upon its way ; For three of them are out. With doctor’s bills to pay. They first learned how to boil Mr. C-----H2 0; But now they’re baking Kish, And mixing up the dough. But let us one and all. We boys of naughty-six, Request they give a feed, To show us all the tricks! Exchanges Latin Teacher: How shall 1 say “ I ought to be loved by the pupils?” Pupil: Put it in the subjunctive (contrary to fact), sir. A cat in despondency sighed, And resolved to commit suicide, He got under the wheels Of nine automobiles, And after the last one he died. Gentleman (in restaurant): Bring me a bottle of hock: hic, haec, hoc, waiter. Waiter: Yes, sir. Gentlemen (half hour later): Where is my bottle of hock, waiter? Waiter: Well you see sir, you ordered it and then you declined it, sir. There was a young maid of Japan Who married a Hottentot man. The girl she was yellow, But he was a black fellow, And the children were all black and tan.
