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. The first class meeting of the Nine-A grade was held on Tuesday, September the twenty-seventh, nineteen hundred and twenty-one. The following officers were elected: President, Alice Frey; Vice President, Dorothy Metzgar; Secretary, Janette Smock; Treasurer, James Furhmann. The class chose Yale blue and white for their colors. The second class meeting was held on Friday, October 7th, 1921. The class decided upon the first Monday in every month for their meetings, and upon ten cents a month for dues. A committee was appointed to draw up a class constitution. At the third meeting, on Monday, November 7th, 1921, the class constitution was read and adopted without any changes. The committee that drew up the constitution are as follows: Clarence Gray, Dorothy Morris, Hudson Hurley, Helen Brevoort and the President. Torrence Young and Clarence Gray were elected for the executive committee. Anna—“Did you see Mr. Watson down by the fence?” Elsie—“No, he was by the gates.” (Miss Gates.) 17

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

These are two girls we all like a lot. E is for ECHO, a CHAMBERLAIN girl, and also for ELSIE, who has a sweet curl. F is for FLORENCE, who often is MOODY, and very unlike our dear little JUDY. G for GEORGE MYERS is next on the list. H is for Helen, with a watch on her wrist. I for the “INFANTS,” so called by MISS GATES, and often she tells us there is naught in our pates.

S is for SIEBER, boss of the “High,” and T for THOMPSON, whose jokes make us cry. U for a Union of FRESHMEN, we think; United we stand, divided we sink. V is for VINCENT, a boy in our grade. When it comes to his Latin, we’re all in the shade. W is for WALLACE, the son of a doctor, who chums around with KENNETH PROCTOR. X stands for nothing we have in our class, so now this letter will have to pass. Y is a letter important, I’ll say, although it is YOUNG, much does it weigh. Z for zero, my mark, if by chance—over these pages O’BRIEN should glance. Sarah Klatsky (questioning Walter Woodhead as to his new girl)- “Does she call you honey?” Walter -“No, hut darn near it. She calls me old bees-wax.” Miss Gates—“What do you intend to be when you grow up?” Marion Straus—“A typewriter.” Miss Gates—“An Oliver or an Underwood?” A Good Reason. James Furhmann decided to learn how to play tennis but gave it up, saying that he did not care for the game as it made too much racket (racquet.) Noelle Likes Sailing with One Foot on the Ground. We understand that the following conversation took place between Noelle Williams and her mother during their trip via boat to Canada last summer when Noelle was indisposed most of the time. Mrs. Williams—“Come on deck quick, Noelle, we are passing a ship.” Noelle—“I dont want to see any ships; call me when we pass a tree.” A Flirt. Jane Wilkinson has a motor boat, It gives her so much joy. Every night she’s on the river Flirting with the boy (buoy.) 18
