THE GOLDEN-ROD Not long since Mr. K-ll. ’10. kindly gave Eng. Ill an impersonation of Charles Lamb’s phrase “a study in black.” Fortunately the ink was none too black and washed off easily. If the French for steamboat is “bateau de vapeur,” is catboat translated by “bateau de chat?” Ask Mr. McC., ’09. A new version of an old story: “The colonies were not sure of obtaining freedom from the yolk and tyranny of England.” It is said that R-y-1, TO. is fond of Frye-d eggs. B-t-s, TO, is said to have added dancing to his other accomplishments. Oh, Russell! B-o-n, TO is said to have Tor (re) y prin- ciples. Teacher (Math. II-A)—“Mr. II-m-n, please confine your attentions to Miss F— to recess and after school.” Mr. McC-v. ’09, (translating at sight)—“In der ganzen tadelnden Stadt.” “In the whole blamed state.” Teacher—“Miss -------, you think the figure is all right because Mr. H— drew it?”
