T. Parker—“Do you think it’s wrong to bet?” L. Pryor—“The way I bet, generally is.” “How much is this silk a yard, sir?” A blushing damsel asked Of a young and gushing salesman, Who admiring glances cast. “Only a kiss,” he answered, With an audacious air, As he unfolded the fabric Before the maiden fair. “If you please, I’ll take ten yards, sir.” For a moment his heart stood still; Till the cruel creature added, “And gTandma’ll pay the hill.” The Ambitions of Some Pupils in Room 31.

Kurtz—To be doing nothing (up to present date their ambitions have been realizations). Might Have Taken It. An old negro was taken ill and called in a physician of his own race to prescribe for him; but the old man did not seem to improve and eventually a white physician was summoned. Soon after his arrival Dr.-------felt the old man’s pulse and then examined his tongue. “Did the other doctor take your temperature?” he asked. “I dont know, boss,” said the sick man, “I hain’t missed anything but my watch as yet.” Who supplies class 8-A with peanuts?

JUNIOR HIGH NOTES. Editors: Beatrice Kell, Helen Tuthill, Wallace Wilson. The first meeting of the Freshman Class was held to change the class officers. The results were as follows: President, Noel Lartaud; Secretary, Jack Bailey; Treas- urer, Kenneth Dietz. Speaking of changes—the girls of our class turned out in full force at a recent class meeting to change our colors, indicating that they preferred purple and gold to orange and black. To settle all diplomatic disputes we would advise a rainbow design. The tempest roared. The ship appeared to be sinking. The captain with his own hands ignited the danger rockets. “Captain,” a tall, thin austere woman shrieked into his ear, “1 must protest. We are facing death. Surely this is no time for an extravagant celebration!” Mr. Wolbach—‘T studied French when I was twenty-two.” Bill O’Brien—“How long ago was that, Mr. Wolbach?” A rural Irishman named McCann, who was generally held to he something of a grouch, one evening met the parish priest in a lane. “Good evening, Malachi,” said the good father. “This is a fine moonlight night.” “That may be, your rev'rence,” said Malachi soberly, “hut it’s not tonight that we want the moon out—it's the dark nights.” Dark Doings. During any test in Miss Rippman’s first period Spanish class the rustle of pages (in Spanish books of course) and numerous whispers may he heard throughout the room. Several seats have been changed in Miss Johnson’s seventh and eighth period bookkeeping class. We wonder why. Upon Mrs. Crandall’s arrival in commercial geography class seats have been seen gently sliding over and about the room. NOW should anyone walk into room 30, sixth period, he would see absolute peace and quietness??? Mrs. Crandall—“Mr. Weisman, why is milk not put in cold storage?” Morris W.—“Because cows aren’t like chickens.” Love is like an onion, We eat it with delight; But when it’s gone, we wonder What ever made us bite. First Soph.—“What is the technical word for snoring?” Second Soph.—“Sheet music.” Our idea of a fast “guy”—One who can blow out the lamp and be in bed before it is dark. Our idea of a lazy “guy”—One who will get up at 5:00 o’clock so as to have more time to loaf. Elsie Perrine inquiring as to a new girl in her class. Elsie—“She comes from a respectable family, doesn’t she?” Sylvia—“Oh, the family is respectable enough!” 20
