THE GOLDEN-ROD 31 Jokes Yule: “How do you get apictureofa girl over your heart?” Miss Shaw: “You’ll learn some day, Yule.” Miss Dawes: “John Russell, what does your mother think of the H. C. of L?” Russell: “She says she’s glad paper is stationery.’” Rhodes: “Would you like a nut Sundae?” F. Wilson: “Why, I wouldn’t mind.” Rhodes: “All right, I’ll be over.” Nichols: “I’m trying hard to get ahead.” Miss Fitzgerald: “You need one.” Silverman: “The deer was hit in the Cretan forest.” Mr. Jewell: “What part of the body did you say?” Now Mendcll has a very nice, Though kind of foreign look, But judging from what I’ve observed He seldom probes his book. Teacher: (to a tardy English pupil) “Where have you been?” Pupil: “I haven’t been anywhere, I was waiting for the second bell to ring.” Teacher: “Next time get up close enough to the bell.” Mr. Blanchard: “If there are any good jokes in this class, send them in to the ‘Golden Rod’.” Pupil: “Don’t worry, there won’t be anything funny happen in this class.” IN GLEE CLUB Miss Howes: “It looks as though there were a good many absent. (Calling the names) Miss Orel way?” Member: “She’s absent.” Miss Williams: “That’s what makes the ‘Club’ seem so small.” Miss Howes: “Oh! you mean thing. ONIONS I wish there was an inventive man, To patent, make, and sell, An onion with the same old taste, But—with a flowery smell. M. D. Kennedy, ’20. An adder must be some kind of a math- ematical reptile. A HOT ONE Miss Howe (discussing a French sen- tence):“ I f the monkey had something hot to drink, he would recover.” Miss Pitts: “Wood alcohol.” The Freshmen have carriages very clean and bright; The Sophomores have bicycles over which they fight; The Juniors have tin Lizzies which they leave up in the hall; But the lazy, shiftless Seniors haven’t anything at all. Mr. Thomas: “What is in the gas meter?” “Red” Coombs: “Quarters.” Miss Perkins: “Miller, how did you draw that circle?” Miller: “With my foot as a radius.” Mr. Harrington: “Mercurous chloride is often administered as a medicine, but never take it unless you want to shake hands with St. Peter.” First Pupil: “Oh Boy! I’m tired.” Second pupil: “You have only moved two feet.” Mrs. Faulkner: (calling on John Lane) “What part of speech is lonely, Lane?” Miss Pouch wouldn’t be so pert, And willing to be seen, If, instead of raven black, Her hair was vivid green.

Don’t you think it would improve the appearance of your magazine to put your advertisements together rather than to scatter them as you do now? e Notes The Arlington High School Clarion, Arlington, Mass.— An exceedingly interesting magazine. The introduction of a school directory into your magazine is unusual, but is a good addition. The Industrial School Magazine. Golden, Colorado— Such a good magazine as yours ought to mention its Exchanges. Comments on the part of one school regarding the work of another school are always help- ful. Can’t you suggest ways by which your Exchanges may improve? WHAT OTHER SCHOOLS ARE DOING It may interest our Spanish Depart- ment to hear of a successful Spanish Club existing in the Fitchburg High School at Fitchburg, Mass. The object of this Club is to encourage students in the study and use of the Spanish lan- guage. All proceedings in the Club are carried on in Spanish. We are sure the students will derive a great amount of pleasure and benefit from organizations of this sort. Gladys Jenkins, Exchange Editor. There is a young teacher named Dawes Of much studying she is the cause. Her pupils, they fight With a sentence all night, And oft not till morn do they pause. Miss----------, ’20. Pupil in Math subtracting: “2-4-0-.” Miss Thompson: What number are you calling?” Mr. Blanchard (giving an assignment from Sir Roger de Coverly Papers): You divide the De Coverly Ghosts be- tween you.” M. Murphy (to Lubarsky): “Is Abe Lubarsky your father?” Lubarsky: Yes.” M. Murphy: Is he?” Lubarsky: “No, not Issy, Abie.”

Does Mr. Jewell keep his hand in his vest pocket for the same reason Napoleon did? Mr. Jewell: “What does a relative clause of result express?” Miss Nelson: “It expresses result.” Miss Dawes: (To C7) “The only way by which you can be excused from work is by death, marriage, or imprisonment.” Fitton: “Just what is the difference?” Freshman (translating Latin) “He embraced himself.”
