Pd rather be a Could Be, If I could not be an Are; For a Could Be is a May Be, With a chance of touching par. Pd rather be a Has Been Than a Might Have Been, by far; For a Might Have Been has never been, But a Has was once an Are. Van Horn—“I had a fall last night that rendered me unconscious for several hours. D. H.—“You dont say; where did you fall? V. H.—“I fell asleep. Schenek—“How did the serpents get to Laocoon, as he was on the land? Miss Wainwright—“Serpents are like eels, they swim in land as well as in the water.” (Heard just before the Red Bank-Leonardo football game, Thanksgiving.) Helen Linton—“I suppose those Leonardo fellows would go crazy if they beat Red Bank. Janet Cooper—“Yes, that’s why it’s a very sane school. First Senior—“Did your watch stop when it hit the floor? Second Ditto—“Sure, you bonehead; you didn’t think it would go right through, did you? Teacher—“Stop growling. Clever student—“I’m not, my hair snarls.” “What a beautiful dog, Miss Alice! exclaimed her bashful admirer. “Is he affectionate?” “Is he affectionate? she asked archly. “Indeed he is! Here, Boy, come show Gus how to kiss me? Janet Cooper tripped up to the counter in a music store where a new clerk was busy, and asked sweetly: “Have you ‘Kissed Me in the Moonlight?’ “No. It must have been the man at the other counter. I’ve only been here a week. What would happen if: Ethel Smock disturbed anyone? A1 Conover did not disturb anyone? Florence Finkelstein did not giggle? Marion Many had not a new crush? Schenck took a girl to a dance? Ethel Fix used powder? Frances Lane did not recite? Brick Hendrickson acted sensibly? Lou Lang minded her own affairs? Helen Linton had a shine? Van Horn felt unnecessary? Miss Beales was truly cross? Robinson did not talk? Ruth Matthews were without a powder puff? Hawkins had finished his speech—8th period history? The Juniors were worthy? 13

GROVE, and start the bridge the BAY WAY across NEWARK to PERTH AMBOY.” His wife, ELIZABETH, didn’t like the RAHWAY he was treating' her. She ob- jected to the MANASQUANdering his love on this LIBERTY STREET FERRY. So she w'ent to NEW YORK, began drinking EL1ZABETHPORT till her legs were TREMLEY and she couldn’t POINT PLEASANT. A cop found her at the foot of WEST 23d STREET, gave her a drink of BRANCHPORT, got her a NEWARK TRANSFER and sent her to the ELIZABETH AVENUE hospital. When she got out the bridge was completed, her husband had fallen INTERLAKEN, was drowned and the railroad company had let BAYONNE the bridge. W. S.. ’22. Editors: Kathryn Cooper, Francis Lane. The Class of ’22 gave a dance November 25th, 1921, which was the first given this year. There were about thirty couples present and everyone enjoyed himself very much. Charles McAnerney was the executive chairman; Alice Conover was the chairman of the punch committee with Russell Hodgkiss and Ailsa Minton as assistants; Samuel Yanko, the advertising chairman, was assisted by Thomas Valleau and Wilmot Robinson. The music committee consisted of Jack Heller as chairman and Elmer Hesse and Marion Many as assistants. The decorating was done by Alfred Ernest and Nelson Rose. The hall looked very attractive with its decora- tion of pennants and crepe paper. All entered the prize dance with enthusiasm, and Miss Beals, our physical culture teacher, won the box of candy. Everyone enjoyed the music and when quarter of twelve came, we were loathe to leave. The Senior Class regrets to announce that it has lost a number of its members. Katherine Lamarche has gone to Binghamton, New York; Isabelle Yervant to Chattle High School; Leroy Duncan to Neptune High. We, however, are pleased to welcome Elvin Hendrickson, Arthur Theissen and Charles McAnerney to the Senior Class. At the beginning of school year the Seniors had a class meeting in which William Bennett was elected president, Albert McQueen vice president, Frances Lane secre- tary and Jack Heller treasurer. We congratulate our new officers and hope that they will show as much interest in the class as the officers of the previous year. Schenck—“I noticed you advertised for a man to retail imported canaries.” Proprietor of bird store—‘‘Do you want the job?” Schenck—“Oh, no; I was merely curious to learn how they lost their tails.” Miss Beebe—“For tomorrow, take the life of Webster.” Audible whisper—“Wish we could, but he’s dead already.” 12

Complaining1 student—“Say, editor, why do you always sit on my jokes?” Editor—“If they had any point, I wouldn't.” Miss Beebe—“Elvin, leave the room.” Elvin—“I didn’t intend to take it with me.” Marion Many—“Do you approve of silk stockings, Mildred?” Mildred—“They’re all right as far as 1 can see.” He (with much enthusiasm)—“I could go on dancing like that forever.” She—“Oh, no; you couldn’t possibly. You’re bound to improve.”—Princeton Elvin—“The coach told me to stop everything that was hard on my wind.” Ellen—“Well, what did you stop?” Elvin—“Running.” The world is old, yet likes to laugh- New jokes are hard to find. A whole new editorial staff Cant tickle every mind. So if you meet some ancient joke Decked out in modern guise, Dont frown and call the thing a fake; Just laugh—dont be too wise. Editors: Sarah Lipack, Gladys Matthews. The officers of the Junior Class are: President, Marie Johnson; Vice President, Leon Wolcott; Secretary, Harry Mazza; Treasurer, Ethel Head. The Ring Committee consists of Gladys McKenzie, William Braisted and Marie Johnson, who deserve special credit for their ability in the choice selection of rings. The motto of the Junior Class today and hereafter is: “Crown every passing day with some good action.” Miss Beebe—“Mr. Hendrickson, can you tell us what the mean temperature of this room is?” Mr. Hendrickson (shivering)—“About as mean as it can be, ma’am.” Be hopeful of a man whose limitations are not yet known. Maybe he won’t reach them. Tiger. No Other. 14
