Not as Much. Ed. Canzona—“Say, Wilkins, you spend a lot of time in your automobile.” S. Wilkins—“Sure, but not as much as 1 spend outside fixing: it up.” It seems as though Copeland Kell is doing sentry duty this year. Why? Watch some day and see for yourself! A Lesson in Physics. Professor—“What do heat and cold do?” Student—“Heat causes expansion and cold contraction.” Professor—“Now give me an example.” Student—“In the summer, when it is hot, the days are long. In the winter, when it is cold, they are short.” What Letter Comes After H? Teacher—“What letter comes after H?” Small boy—“Dunno.” Teacher—“What have I on each side of my nose?” Small boy—“Freckles.” ontore Editors: Carol Schroeder, George Hawkins, Vera Truex. The Sophomore A’s have had several class meetings this term. All were well con- ducted and well attended. The class has made many plans for the future and soon these will show results which will cause the envy of all the other classes. At a recent meeting it was decided that the Sophomore B’s come in with the A’s, taking the latter’s officers and colors. Kenneth Proctor is President; Donald Brower, Vice President; Vera Truex, Secretary, and Marion Courvoiser, Treasurer. Announcement Extraordinary. Early in the year a play will be presented by the Sophomores. It is now being- selected and rehearsals, etc., will soon be in full swing. Watch for details. Mrs. Kerr is to coach, having volunteered her competent services. ’NufT said! The Sophomore class wishes to express publicly its sincere thanks to Mrs. Kerr for the interest she is taking in the class play. We have our shining lights, yet none so bright as our Harold—“cub reporter”— for the Record. And someone was unkind enough to say that they weren’t so SURE of the re- porter part of it, but— 16

You Might Try This. Schenck—“You know, William, you’re managing to wake up earlier in the morn- ing.” B. O’Brien—“Yes, I’ve just bought a parrot.” Schenck—“Instead of an alarm clock?” Bill—“I already had an alarm clock, but I got so I didn’t pay any attention to it. Now I hang the parrot’s cage in my room and put the alarm clock under it. When the alarm clock goes off it startles the parrot and what that bird says would wake anybody up.” Cattle stray into queer places. We once saw a cow hide in a shoemaker's shop. G. McKenzie—“When was money first invented?” S. Dennis—“I dont know. When was it?” Gladys—“When the dove brought the greenback to Noah.” Lore Raver—“She sings nicely, doesn’t she?” B. Braisted—“Oh, yes; when she sings they have to close the windows.” Raver—“My goodness! What for?” Bill—“Her voice is so sweet it draws the flies.” A Difficult Request. Dot. Travis—“Do you sell invisible hair nets?” Clerk—“Yes, miss.” Dot—“Will you let me see one, please?” Long Known. L. Raver—“Father, my teacher said that ‘collect’ and ‘congregate’ mean the same thing. Do they?” Mr. Raver—“Perhaps they do, Lore; but you may tell your teacher that there is a vast difference between a congregation and a collection.” Why? Why is a person approaching a candle like a man getting off his horse? Because he is going to a-light. Why is a portrait like a member of congress? Because it is a representative. Why should all sober people go to rest directly after tea? Because when T is gone night is nigh. Why should a minister be believed? He is nearly always ae-eurate. Why are an egg and a colt alike? They must both be broken before they can be used. Why are bachelors like criminals? Because they hate to go to court. Why is a doctor the meanest man on earth? Because he treats you and then makes you pay for it. A big revolver—The World. A light business—Making gas. A pedestrian’s parting salutation—“Sole long.” How to find happiness—Look in a dictionary. “After the fare”—The conductor. Drawing from nature—Extracting teeth. A matter of interest—A coupon. The latest definition of an old maid—A woman that has been “made” a long- time. The latest thing out—The young man with the latchkey. 15

Dot Sickles is getting very, very smart. She says it’s because her wisdom teeth are coming in. Oh! Well!! Five of the six girls on the girls’ basket ball team are Sophomores. Unluckily for us, Carolyn has gone, leaving a vacancy no one can fill. We will all miss her and hope that the same good fortune which first brought her to us will bring her back again soon. Miss Rippman told a Spanish Class not to keep looking at the clock. Well, they probably wanted to see if the clock DID ever move! Mrs. Crandall—“How would you number these four things?” F. Gray—“1-2-3-4.” John is surely having a terrible time trying to conquer his curls. We’re satis- fied as long as he doesn’t fix his hair like Decker’s. Say, where did Monroe get that laugh? Mrs. Kerr—“He planted a chair on the trap-door.” Donald Brower—“Did it grow?” The Meetings of the Ninth A Gnde.
