ve UES es IGE SCHOOE! Doors BURST open; students sprawl over the halls; girls giggle and cackle; a period has ended. Everyone is in a hurry to get nowhere. Now and then someone stops to sock a friend. Some girl’s books flop on the floor; the boys tramp on them and give the girl a disdainful look. Gradually the halls clear. By the time the tardy bell rings peace and quiet again reigns in the halls. Moral—Actions speak louder than words. CLASSROOM FABLES LAST CHRISTMAS a party was given for the benefit of the patients of the Cottage Hospital. Gordon Lowe, who acted as Santa Claus, sent the following report to the Hi-Nus. “The first thing on the program was a song by Janet Walker. This didn’t go over so hot because the singer was a little horse that night . “Next was a violent solo by Jack Ryan. Jack proved to be a true pall by giving two pieces. “Following this was a skit put on by Rodney Brothers, Marjorie Shurtleff, Anna Mae Williams, and Don Minor. The play was about a man, Rod, who souled bonds. He married the boss’s daughter, Marjorie. After marrying his financee he had martial disagreements and Marjorie sewed Anna Mae for alienation of Rod’s affections. “After this I impersonated Santa’s Claws, and after scarring some of the little children, I took some of my friends and went on a slaying party in the Berkeley Hills,” [SSE BOOTBALL? THE STANDS groaned and creaked from the frantic yelling of the wild rooters. The drums drumming; trumpets trumpeting; girls shrieking; boys bellowing for an end run. The game was nearly over when all of a sudden the stands quieted. The candy seller had finally galloped across the field to appease the hunger of the crowd. THE SHELVES CLATTER, BANG! A whole shelf of boo ks hit the library floor. A ripple of titters runs through the library. The librarian looks up with a frown on her face. Those shelves in the library are as tricky as “Scooter” Warburton. If you are in a hurry to get a book, at least one of the darn things is sure to fall. These inno- cent shelves have caused more students to turn crimson than any other thing in school. A brother of mine named Joe Pete, The man on the flying trapeze, Had trouble finding room for his feet. Fell to the ground with the greatest of ease, He traveled to Boston, And thus lost his life, In the rush there he lost ’em, After stealing that wife, And he tied up the traffic for weeks. Because he just couldn’t help sneeze! —Evelyn Overaa.
