THE GOLDEN-ROD 21 This year we are ambitious to extend our ex- changes to more distant states as well as to our near neighbors and already we have received The Aurora, Nome, Alaska, and The Smith Academy Record. All exchanges may be seen in Room 25 by the pupils from the editor. “The Breeze,” Cushing. An altogether good paper but why do you devote all the paper to graduates? How about the present students? “Distaff,” Girl’s High School, Boston. Your exchange heading might be improved. The Alumni column is excellent. “Enterprise,” we think the color of your cover is rather characterless. The article on Education in Mexico is interesting. “Gazette,” Lynn Classical High School. It seems to be a fast spreading desire,—this chang- ing of cover designs and colors but not many of you are bettering the covers. We say the same to the “Volunteer,” Concord, Mass. “High School Beacon,” Chelsea. Your ath- letics and exchange headings are all right. Why do you put an advertisement on the second page, next to the stories. One looks at the advertise- ment first. “The Imp,” Brighton. Try to fill up your ad- vertising pages—it pays well. After looking over some of our brilliantly colored exchanges,—the black and white designs of the “Oracle,” Manchester and “The Jabber- wack,” Boston are a great relief. “Premier,” Fall River, you have a good col- lection of school yells. “The Students’ Review,” Northampton. Where are your stories in the October issue? We were glad to receive “School Life” from Melrose. Miss Chadbourne is advisory editor of the paper. Besides the exchanges mentioned we acknowl- edge also: “The Review,” Lowell High School; “The Clarion”: ' The Gleaner,” Pawtucket High School; “The Blue Owl”; “The Alpha,” New Bedford; “The Aegis,” Beverly; “The Register,” Boston Latin; “Recorder,” Spring- field. Mass.; “Radiator”; “The Oracle,” Mal- den; “The Mirror”; “The Powder Horn.” Professor—“What are the children of the Czar called?” Pupil—‘ ‘ Czardines. ” Mammy—“Dai, you good-for-nothing niggar, you’ve went and forgetted dat lard.” Rastus—“Lor’ a massy, dat lard was just so greasy, it done slipped ma mind.” Teacher—“What was the first talking machine made from?” Bright Boy—“From a rib.”

20 THE GOLDEN-ROD II. II. 'II has got the rage and has got it as bad as any of them now. Mr. Roache—“What class are you in?” 1914—“Why I’ve been here four days.” Teacher after being hit by a spit ball—“I’m not going to punish you, for I know that if you had been aiming at me I wouldn’t have been hit.” Mr. Ro-che—‘ ‘ Who succeeded James II?” 1911—“James I.” William Manning is always in Wollaston. I wonder why ? History Teacher—“Who was Prince Arthur?” M iss S-b-g—‘ Er-r-r—somebody’s son. ’ ’ The weather has not been at all cold but S. W-i-te has had his storm windows on for some- time. Everybody enjoys certain writers and E. Rh-des Ihinks that Churchill is just about right. Heard in gym. before the Holbrook game— “Well I suppose they got this game because the kids could come for half-fare.” M. Chap-n is seriously considering a course at Woodward. Three cheers for II. Sut-m-ster the gallant and brave boy scout. It would have been very acceptable to P-r-k-s Tl. if a special deliberative hour had been fixed in the program, so that he might think over his math. It would put anyone to sleep to hear Wh-te sing after the Dorchester game. Fraser struck something hard when he struck Herb’s back. Murphy Tl discovered a new fuming com- pound the other day. It fumed all over his desk. A coming scientist, this Murphy. The Senior Dramatics will be helped very much this year, we hope, by such experienced actors as Manning and the Chapmans. c(?iUT tr rto ifje.

22 THE GOLDEN-ROD Uncle Emery—“ Waiter, why do you call this oyster soup? I can't find a single oyster in it.” Waiter—“That’s all right sir we have cottage pudding too but we don’t give away any houses.” Mistress—“Did the fisherman who stopped here this morning have frog’s legs. Norah?” Norah—“I don’t know. mum. He wore long pants.” Teacher—“When did the revival of learning begin?” Pupil—“Just before the exams.” “ Well, well,” said the absent-minded profes- sor in the bath-tub, “now I’ve forgotten what I got in here for.” A little boy was carrying two cats down the street when he was met by a man who asked the names of his pets. “Tom and Jerry,” replied the boy. “Why don’t you call them Cook and Peary?” suggested the man. “Oh,” said the boy, “these ain’t no pole cats.” An American tourist on the summit of Vesu- vius was appalled at the grandeur of the sight. “Great Snakes!” he exclaimed, “it reminds me of Iladcs!” “Gad, how you Americans do travel!” replied an English friend who stood near by. “Think you not,” said the Freshman to maiden fair “My moustache is becoming?” The maiden answered as his eyes she met, “It may becoming but it’s not here yet.” The Pored of Education—the pupils. ‘ ‘ Woman was made out of a man’s rib, and therefore man is not all there.” Nervous Youth (to jeweler)—“Um-er-a-liave -er-ahem-aah-will-all— ’ ’ Jeweler—“Boy, bring me the tray of engage- ment rings.” If men are the salt of the earth women are un- doubtedly the sugar. Salt is a necessity, sugar a luxury. Vicious men are saltpetre; stern men, rock salt; and the nice men table salt. Old maids are brown sugar; good matrons, loaf sugar; and pretty girls pulverized sugar. Pass the pulver- ized sugar PLEASE. Young Wed—“I want accommodations for myself and wife.” Hotel Clerk—“Suite?” Young Wed—“You just bet she is!” Minister—“Deacon Jones, will you lead us in prayer?” The deacon snores loudly. Minister (again)—“Deacon Jones will you lead us in prayer?” Deacon (waking suddenly)—“It ain’t my lead; I dealt.” We pass along this pathetic little appeal from another exchange: Our chief editor reminds us That our job’s to make you roar; So laugh to show to us your kindness. Though you’ve heard these jokes before. J J Alumni Notes Bessie Chisholm ’07 was married to Thomas Skinner Nov. 3, Patterson, New York.
