The dignified (?) young gentlemen who have favored us with their presence since the closing of the Adams Academy, say they don’t like High School because the girls are there.

From morn till night his tongue does swing, As though suspended on a string. “Mr. Gore, go home.” Mr. Gore, “If I go home, I’ll have to work.” A—“I hear that the senior class is going to have their reception in Music Hall.” B—“How did they do it?” A—“Just as (M) Howe said.” Leathers may have a license to run an auto but who gave him a license to run Room 28.

Because on the New York team Doyle plays second, and with Lacey Doyle plays first. •A—“I hear ‘Dune’ is fond of steak.” B—“That may be, but he likes Liver-more.”
