THE ROUND TABLE 11

Page 12 text:

10 THE ROUND TABLE JOKES —o— Runaway Rumors. We have recently learned that our most esteemed Mr. Skakandy is a descendent of the late Czar Nickolas of Russia. Mr. Skakandy is probably the only one of this family left but he does not aspire for the position of Czar under the present era. Do you blame him? Soon after her honeymoon, Mrs. Smith was seen carrying a loving cup. We wonder if a rolling pm would do as well? —O— Oh, horrors! It has been rumor- ed that James Hanley was actually caught Charlestoning, and with his shoes on! What has become of his Scotch characteristics? The Two Critics. Say that a word from the wise is sufficient. The reference is to Professor Skakandy’s statement that you are lucky nowadays if your wife even sews a button on your coat. Well, we always did hear that experience is the best teacher. —0— Wonder if you have ever noticed the difference m the rate of speed on the stairs between periods from the speed at noon. —O— Introduce you to the Irresistible Force—Jimmy Hanley and his candy basket at recess. We won- der whether Jimmy or the candy is the attraction. Ask why the private feud be- tween Bennett and Branin in His- tory class. —0— Deduce that Chester Ebie must be a gentlemen, he prefers blonds. —0— Comment upon Martin Ken- nedy’s statement that the first rail- road was seventeen miles long and extended from Baltimore to Ohio. How’s that for the Irish optimism? —0— Want to know how someone as small as Neal Raver can make so much noise on a great big saxo- phone. Would like to find out if the water at the boys end of the hall has a kick in it. It seems that Mr. Skakandy samples it after every class. Advise to the Seniors. When a class meeting you attend. Be sure you’ve lots of dough to spend. It’s all to go for Washington, Where waits for us just loads of fun. PAY YOUR SENIOR DUES —o— Foolish Questions Why doesn’t Red Bank supply fur coats for the girls in physical training, as the instructor wears one? S.O.S.— Who owns the Starva- tion Islands?” Wise Guy— Hungary.” Paul Weilbacher (the master mind of Miss Galbreath’s Geome- try Class) is going to publish a new Geometry book. Miss Galbreath is certain it will contain many new and puzzling theorems. Personals. It is rumored that there is a new ice-boat on the river called the “Ku Klux Klan.” McKenna is to be sheet-tender. George Carroll Morford is suf- fering from a mental relapse. He recently forgot the date of a sur- prise party and spoiled it by arriv- ing two days ahead of time. Chester Ebie says a certain fellow around here has no steady girl. He adds, He ought to be like me and leave them alone al- together.” Oh, yes, little Nemo leaves them alone. James Hoot mon” Hanley would like to see the proof of every- thing. Prof. Skakandy said, If I gave you a ten dollar bill—” Han- ley replied, I’d like to see you prove that.” Heard in 9B Latin M axine, looking at airplane view of an ancient Roman theater as shown in text-book, impulsively cried: Oh, Miss Wainwnght, I didn’t know they had airplanes in those days!” Miss Galbreath (in Geometry Class) :“Ed, what conclusion can you draw from these statements?” Ed (wondering) : There must be something wrong.” —o— Mrs. Crandall: How did Car- dinal Mazarin carry out Richlieu’s foreign policies?” Tony Schar abba: On stretch- ers. A MODERN VERSION OF HAMLET’S SOLILOQUY To marry, or not to marry: that is the question: Whether’t is nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrage- ous Cupid, Or to take arms against a sea of women, And by opposing become a bache- lor. To marry: To marry; No more; and by to marry to say we start The head-ache and the thousand natural shocks That man is heir to, ’tis a consum- mation Not to be wished. To marry, To quarrel; To quarrel: perchance to divorce:. ay, there’s the rub; For in that divorce court what truths may come When we are brought before the judge. Must give us pause: there’s the respect That mak es marriage of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of the aleinists. The wife’s story, the newspaper’s scandal. The pangs of cold love, the laws delay. The insolence of lawyers and the inconvenience That solitary confinement brings- When he himself might end his troubles With a mere automatic. —Jesse E. Bennett.

When we got home she said, “ ‘Thanks for the Buggy Ride’.” I felt so much like a “Sleepy Head” that I went to sleep in “My Old Feather Bed.” At “Three O’clock in the Morning” I started “Reaching for the Moon.” I fell through the floor and landed on “Black Bottom” with an armful of “Animal Crackers.” Then I remembered that “My Sweetie’s Due at Two to Two To- day.” When she got off the train I greeted her with “Hugs and Kisses” and then we left for “Bar- celona.” We went for a ride “In My Gondola.” “I Never Knew What The Moonlight Could Do, ' and before long I could hear the wedding bells ringing “Ting a Ling.” Well, to make a long story short, it’s got the cutest little “Baby Face” and “I’m at Peace with the World” in “A Bungalow.” 12 Broad Street Red Bank, N.
