THE GOLDEN-ROD 31 Miss Taber—Does a fat lady waddle off the car? Walters—No, she falls off. Heard in Room 8. Weymouth, ’18 (discussing Life of Chat- terton)—He ended his death by committing suicide. A Shattered Romance Youth winks Maiden thinks Mother spies Cupid flies. Miss Dawes—Nowadays a dramatist can- not have too many characters in a play to act upon a 40 by 70 stage. They would step on each other’s feet. Note—That must be the reason that Vien- na, Peterson, and B. O’Brien could never be actors. Oh, you number tens! Miss Dawes—Bailey, do you know you’re talking? Bailey doesn’t know whether he is living or dead when he strikes Room 23. Taylor, ’18 (boasting)—Why, I even dropped a ten dollar gold piece into the con- tribution box one Sunday. Ewcrtz, ’18—What was the matter with it? The ancient but honorable president of the senior class may be seen every night rehearsing before the mirror so that he will feel at home in the “sack” at the banquet. Jenkins (translating Latin)—Ganymedes was chasing the deer (dear) with his jave- lin. Miss O’Neill—That’s the only way to chase them now. W. E. Mullin, Joke Editor. 4kfk will-tWt nitar ■ntafc VoolilV -nt$S J,rl} vuitlt Ccle tl 4 rson. -tfccujKt k ;V)WI •« Owt.- R4I.I flatyna? TU Q. H.$ 134U tn»! ,110.

Hedges—Got a match? Miss Dawes—When you fall on a slip- pery day you feel the ice shiver. Well, in some cases, like McNamara, Winslow, and Higgins, that may be true. But— Miss Thayer—What is a table? Larsen, '18—A table is a flat board with four legs and is generally used for serving meals. Miss Thayer—That shows where your mind is. R.
