The first chapter can be compared to our first year in high school. The traditional “Assembly Parade” saw us marching through the aisles of the auditorium to the mingled boos and cheers of the haughty seniors. In December, we dec- orated the school with gay Christmas trimmings, winning the praise of juniors and seniors. Chapter Two of our book brought us to our junior year. We caught the true R. F. A. spirit and took an interest in extra-curricular activities. In June, we feted the seniors at the annual Junior Prom. A novel decorative scheme, featuring artistic work by Jack Ward, and music by the “Ambassadors,” helped to make this one of the most delightful social affairs ever held in our school Returning from our summer vacation, we began the third and last chapter of our book with the proud realization that we were seniors. Now, as we are nearing the glorious ‘Senior Week’ which climaxes our school career, and finishes our “book,” we hope that we have done half as much for Rome Free Academy as it has done for us.

The home-room chair- men may qualify as members of this body. During the past year, the Student Council enjoyed remarkable success in promoting many intra-mural functions.

Alpha Hi-Y The Alpha Chapter of Hi-Y, organized in 1917, is affiliated with the State and North American Hi-Y movements “in a national endeavor to create, maintain and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and communities of this state and the world.” Because of large membership, it was necessary to start a brother chapter in 1934. In connection with this brother chapter, the Alpha Hi-Y held monthly sport dances and a formal dance in May. In the past year, Alpha sent delegates to the state assembly at Albany, the Elmira conference, and the Berea conference in Kentucky.

From its beginning on February 12, 1934, with its purpose “‘to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character,” the Beta Hi-Y membership has reached its maximum. We meet twice a month in the Y. M. C. A. club rooms which are donated to us. A supper, a business meeting, and either a guest speaker or discussion period constitute the program. This year Beta Hi-Y sent delegates to the Central New York Hi-Y Council, State Hi-Y Assembly, and the Hi-Y con- ference at Elmira. We may also send delegates to the National Hi-Y Con- vention to be held at Berea, Kentucky. Several dances were held in collabora- tion with Alpha Chapter. We wish to express our gratitude to J.

Cheerleaders From the beginning of the fall term, the cheerleading squad has taken an active part in school affairs. The presence of the cheerleaders’ orange and white outfits at the foot- ball games added greatly to the colorful spectacle of the games. The entire season, full of events, was most successful. New yells were used; pep rallies were held. The cheerleaders were at every football game, “topped” by the Utica game, which, incidentally, provided the best cheering of the year. Then, the basketball fans found the cheerleaders present at every home game throughout the season. The Saint Aloysius Academy games provided the most spirited cheering of the season. At every assembly pro- gram, the cheerleaders were there to give a cheer for the guest speaker. The squad deserves much commendation for their sincere and earnest work to help cheer the teams on to victory. The cheering squad, with Frances Steve and Billy Williams as head cheermasters, included Ramona Stuart, Brewster Pattyson, Anthony Basile and Adelaide Garcia. The squad wishes to thank Mr. James Atkinson, cheerleading coach, for his assistance and advice. [aon Et DE-O-WAIN ‘STA ; Photo by Ubell.

German Club Der Deutsche Verein is an organization of pupils who have studied two years of German. This club serves to increase the pupils’ knowledge of Ger- many, its people, their customs, and the German language. Meetings are held monthly, with alternate meetings being conducted in German. Programs, which are in charge of club members, are composed of German songs, plays, games, research’ papers and motion pictures on interest- ing phases of German life. Had it not been for the co-operation and untiring efforts of its advisers, Miss Blood and Miss Riley, the club would not have so successfully supple- mented its members’ classroom work.

Home Economics Club The Home Economics Club was started over ten years ago to provide a wholesome activity for girls in home economics classes. Its aims are to develop leadership and to promote a spirit of service. The club has both state and national affiliation, the most worthy girls being sent as delegates to the state convention of student clubs, which is being held in New York City this year. The Rome Free Academy Club is contributing to a fund which enables foreign students to study home economics in our colleges.

Foro In November, 1937, was published the first copy of the all-Italian news- paper at Rome Free Academy. It is a six-page literary newspaper published monthly and contains a feature article in each issue about some famous Italian. The newspaper also has articles on Italian history, proverbs, humor, music, and sports. “Il Foro’ also devotes space to modern Italy and Roman history. This newspaper was made possible through the co-operation of Mr. Joseph Palombi who aided the members in producing the first literary work of a foreign language at Rome Free Academy.

Le Cercle Francais During the past year, the students who had completed two years of French organized Le Cercle Francais. Their main objectives in forming this organization were to afford opportunities for conversations in French and to promote greater interests in the customs and history of the French people. In the past year, they conducted their meetings and programs entirely in French. They staged a French drama and showed French movies. Le Cercle Francais climaxed this year’s activities with a banquet entirely French in style.

Library Council The Library Council of Rome Free Academy consists of a group of girls who voluntarily assist with work in the school library on certain days during their free periods. The purpose of the organization is to aid the school libra- rian in the performance of her duties and to give the members an insight into the possible vocation of librarianship by means of actual experience in library rechnique. The Library Council is not an organized club; consequently, it has no off icers. Miss Marion Herrman, librarian, is in charge. Photo by Ubell. Press Club The Rome Free Academy Press Club was organized in 1935 to gather and edit school news for publication weekly in the Rome Daily Sentinel. Each semester second-term juniors gather news concerning school affairs, while first-term seniors, who have been selected on the basis of their activity as competitors, write up the news in good form. The Press Club is composed of seniors who either are serving as student editors at present or have completed their term of editing. Meetings are held at a time selected by the president and the faculty committee. The Club wishes to express its appreciation to the faculty advisers for their work and advice.

Roman Forum The Roman Forum is the school debate and speech society. It boasts the largest membership of any sch ool club, showing our school interest in forensic activities. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors are eligible for membership to this club, which holds bi-monthly meetings for the purpose of having intramural debates, discussion in open forum, and parties. A high standing member of the National Forensic League, the Roman Forum produced a debate team to participate with other schools on the national proposition: “Resolved: That the several states should adopt a unicameral system of legislature.” The membership of the complete debate squad selected from members of the Roman Forum includes Rowland Ludden, Lloyd Peters, Don Boardman, Harold Levitan, Emlyn Griffith, Carl Cecilia, Anthony Pomilio, Bill Searle, Robert Baumann, and Richard Valone. On March 27, at Rome, the Debate Club entertained the participants in the district tournament speaking and debating events. Rome clinched first place, easily winning from Syracuse Vocational, Syracuse Central, and Norwich High Schools. Only one defeat was suffered in this tournament. Individual speech win- ners from Rome were Valone, Baumann, Searle, Pomilio, Griffith. Lanigan, and Pattyson. TL DE-O-WAIN STA } ROMAN FORUM—Continued This victory sent the R.F.A. speakers to the state tournament at Ossining, April 8-9. The debate team, consisting of William Searle, Anthony Pomilio, Robert Baumann, and Dick Valone, captured second place, winning five debates and losing one to Poughkeepsie, first place winner. William Searle, debate team member, won the coveted state oratorical chz umpionship and his debate colleague, Anthony Pomilio, won second prize in extemporaneous speaking, entitling them, along with the debate team, to represent New York State at the National Con- tests from May 2 to May 7 at Wooster, Ohio. The same teams went to Wooster, Ohio, where they were eliminated after the fifth round. Searle was eliminated in the semi-finals in oratorical declamation after passing three rounds and quar- ter finals. Pomilio was eliminated by only one point in the third round of ex- temporaneous speaking. Out of thirty-two debates held so far this year, R.F.A. has lost only two, a remarkable achievement.

EES ow ee Marion Hauptfuehrer Griggs (Butler) (htagntias ay onine a ee -Hayden Davies On Wednesday evening, May 25, the Senior Class Play, “I'll Leave It to You,” by Noel Coward, was presented before a large, appreciative audience in the Capitol Theatre. The play, which was unusually well acted, proved to be one of the year’s outstanding events. — 69 — SENIOR PLA Y—Cortinued Left a widow with but a small sum of money on which to support herself and five grown-up children, Mrs. Dermot turns to brother Dan for help, con- vinced that he is wealthy because he is a bachelor mine-owner in South America. Uncle Dan, who arrives to find an idle family ready to live on his money, an- nounces that he has been doomed by his physician to die in three years and that he intends to leave his entire fortune to the member of the family who has made good by that time. With such an incentive each of them sets to work with such determination that at the end of three years Oliver has become a successful inventor: Evangeline, a famous novelist: Bobby, a well-known composer of songs, and Sylvia, a film star. Even Joyce has distinguished herself in her school career. But this is not the end of Uncle Dan’s plan, for the mother of Faith, Bobby’s flancée, reveals that the Uncle's supposed riches are a myth. When Dan confesses that his previous announcement was merely a method of inciting the family, at first resentment on the part of the latter causes a bitter feeling against him. Sylvia alone sees the wisdom of Uncle Dan's action and condemns the others for their narrow-minded attitude, thus succeeding in bringing about an apology to the old man from his nephews and nieces. Griggs’s amusing antics, the family’s genuine devotion to the Uncle, and the admirable qualities all possess tend to make this play clever, amusing and even dramatic. We are indebted to Mrs. Bates for having coached the actors so excellently, and we wish to express Our appreciation to her and the entire cast for their superb work. WEA Orchestra The Rome Free Academy orchestra, under the direction of Mr. John Lundblad, provides music at many of our school assemblies and at other enter- tainments. Two rehearsals during school hours, as well as one rehearsal after school, are held each week. The school wishes to express its appreciation for the many hours spent by Mr. Lundblad and the orchestra members in providing music for us. —Photo by Ubell. Slingerland Prize Speaking Contest A large appreciative audience assembled at the Rome Free Academy audi- torium on April 1, 1938, to witness the thirty-fifth annual Slingerland Prize Speaking Contest. A $1,000 fund, given by Lizzie M. Davis, provides prizes of $20 and $10 for first and second prizes, respectively. Jane Real opened the evening's entertainment by presenting “King Robert of Sicily” by Longfellow. “L’Espionne,” a tale of a French spy by Majorie Moffet, was delivered by Anne Hague. Virginia Seubert pictured the humorous scene of a girl’s nervousness before her wedding in ‘An Hour Before High Noon” by Marc Connelly. “The Revenge of Hamish,” by Sidney Lanier, a soul-stirring Scotch poem, was excellently rendered by Betty Lanigan. Majorie Ginsburg closed the girls’ division by provoking much laughter from the crowd with her humorous selection, “The Gusher.” Brewster Pattyson, opening the boys’ division, kept the audience in sus- pense with Dickens's “The Madman’s Story.” “The Big Parade,” by Wesley Cartey, was interpreted by Emlyn Griffith. es, | eo et Deo WAIN STA SLINGERLAND PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST—Continued John Morse, presenting “Antony's Funeral Oration,” by Shakespeare, made one feel as if he were at the very scene of Caesar's funeral The great debate between William E.

Our first game was with Saint Aloysius for the City’s championship. The Rome Free Academy ream had little difficulty in scoring four touchdowns against the fighting Gaels. The final score, 26-0, was in our favor. Y DE-O-WAIN-STA SS FOOTBALL—Continued After another week of strenuous practice because of inability to work col- lectively against the Aloysians, our team was ready to meet a former opponent on our schedule, Ilion High School. Our team showed perfect form in mow- ing down Ilion’s forward wall to score four touchdowns. Again the final score was 26-0 in our favor. The next game, at Oswego, was the first league game of Rome Free Academy. Although our team was on the side of the winning column, it hardly showed its power to score when the chance came. The blame probably can rest with the fact that the field was muddy and Oswego played “heads- up” football. The score was 6-0. Oneida was the next team to fall beneath the power of our linemen and backs. For the fourth week in succession the goal line of Rome wasn't crossed. Rome scored thirteen points to Oneida’s zero. The tricky Genevans entertained the Academy gridders at a night game in Geneva. Playing for the first time in the school’s history under lights, our team wondered what it would be like. It didn’t take them long to find out, for on the opening play of the game, Tyksinski, on a perfectly executed pass from Glasso, skirted end for the first touchdown for Rome. Although the Genevans tried every deception in their bag of tricks, they did not score; and for the fifth week our goal line hadn’t been crossed. Again the score was 13-0 in our favor. . The test of the Academy's power came in the following game with East- wood. Eastwood provided a very severe test, but Rome emerged victorious by a 6-0 score. The game was hard fought and uncertain until the referee blew the final whistle. The effective punting of Funzie Di Caprio pulled Rome from many a tight position. For the sixth week the Academy’s goal line hadn't been crossed. The following week the team was tuned up for its strongest foe, Water- town, which hadn't as yet been defeated in fourteen contests. To our despair Rome fell honorably before the charging onslaught of Watertown’s boys. Our hope for an undefeated season was marred; nevertheless, courage was not lacking to our boys who proudly went forth to defeat their ancient rival, Utica. The score of the Rome-Watertown game was 26-0 in their favor. Rome did not lose faith because of that stinging defeat but buried Utica in its wrath. Playing in a muddy section of the field hindered Rome from scoring more than nine points. The initial score came as a result of Funzie Di Caprio’s well-placed punt. Rome scored a touchback for its first two points and in the fourth quarter scored seven more to bring the total to nine against Utica’s nothing. With seven victories and one defeat, Rome enjoyed the best football season since the undefeated team of 1932 made havoc with its opponents. We shall always remember the outstanding work of the captain and his teammates. ‘The members of the Rome Free Academy team were guests at the annual football dance given in their honor. At this dance Frank Seccurra was selected the most valuable player of the 1937 football season. Photo by Ubell Basketball Coach—Lro MELDRIM Manager—BIL_ SEARLE LETTERMEN Schiller, Ed.

Never can it be said that R. F. A. did not go down fighting, for many games were lost by merely two or three points and even one point. The result of fine passwork and co-operation was shown in the first game of the season. in which R. F. A. beat St. Francis of Utica, 25-22. The game was a toss-up until the final minutes of playing time when R. F. A. surged ahead to victory. Our next game, with Oneida, was lost by the score of 28-22. The loss crushed the spirit of Meldrim’s men, for they lost the next game to St. Francis by a 23-13 score. With two losses against them, the quintet of R. F. A. again came into the winning column to defeat Sherrill, 26-17, bringing the total to two wins and two losses. On January 15, R. F. A. went to Canastota where they met with a loss. Our team was minus Bill Hosley. The score of that game was 22-28. On January 21, R. F. A. again bowed in defeat, this time to Oswego by a score of 27-31. U. F. A. took the measure of Rome in the following game by a score of 28 to 31. The game was played on January 28. It seemed hardly possible for the quintet of R. F. A. to get into the win column. In the second game with Oneida, Rome emerged victorious by a score of 37 to 24. This game was played on February 4. On February 5, Rome defeated Canastota in a hot contest by a score of 25-23. On February 8, Rome again showed its power by defeating Sherrill for the second time. The score of the game was 31 to 29. Traveling to Watertown, Rome met with defeat at the hands of Beano Graf's men. The final score was 36-13, decidedly in their favor. On February 15, Rome played S. A. A. for the city scholastic title. Be- cause of the sharp-shooting ability of the Gaels, Rome went down in defeat by a mere one point, 19-18. On the 18th of February Rome bowed to Oswego for the second time. The outcome, 25-23, was in their favor. Rome avenged its previous loss to Watertown by putting on a last-minute splurge of scoring to defeat Watertown, 18-16. Our own blonde captain, Ed. Schiller, capably carried Rome to this victory over an arch rival. On March 1, Rome lost its city scholastic title to S$. A. A. in its second encounter with the Gaels. S. A. A. had the leading edge throughout the game and finally won by the score of 34-21. Our final game was lost to Utica on March 4 by a score of 26-22. At this point of the review we wish to extend our best and heartiest wish of luck to the upcoming reserves who so admirably carried on their part in aiding the varsity during practice. — 70 class games.

The Fire Our senior year in our beautiful school building was brought abruptly to a close on Thursday, April 28. The spectacular fire, which was discovered at nine o'clock in the evening and blazed all night, completely ruined the third floor, while water damaged the first and second floors.

Some of the other Sen- ators, like Ray Edwards, Hazen Hinman and Martin Sleeman pay little atten- tion to the debates, for they are too busy looking at the pretty clerks, Alberta Salerno, Mildred Fabrizio, Jane Hanba, and Anna Colella. The ladies of the class of ’38 have been busy organizing a Better Babies’ Bureau, and they report splendid progress. Among them are Marion Haupt- fuehrer Searle, Martha Houser Stropp, Pat Ackerman Ward, Catherine Cera- volo Adolfi, Eunice Volmer Baynes, and Mamie Summa Di Castro. Quite a few of our former classmates are now teachers in our Alma Mater. Eleanor Vasho is teaching Italian; Eleanor Briggs, French; Frances Steve, physical education; and Willard Schneible has taken Mr. Cole’s place teaching Trig! That queer noise coming over the air isn’t static, folks. It might be those dogs Doc Boardman’s taking care of, or it might be the dogs of the people learning to dance at the Trip and Stumble Dancing Academy. You may have your choice of the following instructors: Barbara Hodges, Brewster Pattyson, Eleanor Patala, Bill Bright, Miriam Maxwell, John Kainski, and even the girl who still Big Apples in 1948—Muriel Solomon! For our evening’s oddities, we have chosen unique occupations engaged in by our classmates. Hank DeVito and Ellen Throne are now licking stamps of all sizes for only a dime a dozen! Jack Morse is earning his daily bread by inflating balloons (Blow, Joe!) His assistant blowers are Emmy Griffith, Tony Basile and Ollie Lee. Art Wilson has just won the Pulitzer Prize with his novel “How to Get Nowhere Fast.” Johnny Ellinger and Julia Weed are teaching their pupils the best method of getting a ride to Oneida. Joe Levitt is now running a matrimonial agency, and a very successful one— Joe’s got himself nine wives so far.

A few of our remembrances will be: Billy Williams’ German haircut. Eddie Mack’s color combinations. Rey Colgan’s resemblance to Apollo. That one, great, stupendous issue of the “Bomb.” The times when Miss Herrman was locked out of the library. Art Wilson’s head of hair. Brewster Pattyson’s dirty saddle shoes. Virginia Seubert’s pretending that she didn’t do her homework. Eddie Schiller’s basketball playing. The similarity between “Red’’ Davies and “Red” Thomas. Prof. Cole’s wise cracks. The times when our clothes stuck on the gum under the desks. And last but not least—the peace and tranquility of our school halls. Just Imagine: Marion Hauptfuehrer not sticking up for Bill Searle’s good looks. Joe Levitt six feet tall. Pat Ackerman without Jack Ward. Marie Fitsik pulling down the shades. Brewster Pattyson without a bow tie. Bill Bright without a Saturday night car- ful going to Jake’s. Miriam Maxwell stumbling on a dance floor. Joe Morse being able to stay out after nine o'clock. Hazen Hinman making love to a girl. Whee!! Maude Nields at a triangle dance minus Eddie Mack. Helen Jones with dark hair. Alberta Salerno with a hair out of place. Lucy Barone in the same dress every day. Anthony Pomilio resembling Robert Tay- lor. Catherine Ceravolo frowning when Joe Adolfi is around. A pitch game without Tommy Savage. Bob Billings thoroughly understanding a math problem. Seniors buying their own school books. Miss Mittenmaier: “In which of his bat- tles was Lord Nelson killed?” B. Pattyson: “I am confident it was his last one.” It is really remarkable that nothing ever gets in Prof. Cole’s hair. Science teacher: ‘What is the definition of spine ?” Carl Cecilia: ‘A spine is a good support: your cranium rests on one end and you rest on the other.” Notice in a newspaper: The court crier cannot cry today. His mother-in-law just died. An eastern gentleman traveled out West by auto and became lost. Finally he saw a farmer and asked him where he was located. “Yer in Farmer Jones’ southern lot corn- field,” was the reply. Emlyn Griffith (making a speech): “I would begin by saying ‘Ladies and gentle- men,’ but I am too well acquainted with all of you.” J. Morse: “I wish I could have seen Abe Lincoln.” V. Seubert: “You'll never be able to see him. He’s in heaven.” Edward Mack is such an optimist that when he had fallen out of a three-story build- ing, he said after passing the second floor, “I’m lucky I got this far.” “Did you say he was shot in the forest, doctor ?” “No, he was shot in the lumbar region.” Newspaper notice: Lost, a puppy by a beautiful lady with black and white feet. Paul Oliver (hearing the clock strike 10, 11, and 12 in rapid succession): ‘How fast the hours roll by when I’m with you, my dearest one.” Jean McKay: “Not at all, that’s one of the family fixing the clock.” Prof. Atkinson: ‘What are the effects of heat and cold?” R. Colgan (after thinking a moment): “Heat expands and cold contracts.” Prof. Atkinson: “That’s right. Now give me an example.” R. Colgan: “Well, in winter the days are very short and in summer they are very long.” The modern sense of equality seems to be what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is mine. rr HUMOR—Continued “Oh!” said the tender-hearted girl on her first fishing trip, “doesn’t it hurt the poor fish ?”’ “Naw,” said her brother, “he likes it. See him wagging his tail.” “Let me see,” said the absent-minded pro- fessor, “you have two children, have you not, Mrs. Brewster?” “Yes,” replied Mrs. Brewster, “a little boy of seven, and a little girl of five.” “Dear, dear,” said the professor, “how time flies! It doesn’t seem possible that you have been married twelve years.” “There are hundreds of ways of making money,” said Mr. Brown. “Yes, but only one honest way,’ said Mr. Green. “What is that?” asked Mr. Brown. “T thou ght you didn’t know,” said Mr. Green. Miss Mittenmaier: ‘‘What is the difference between Noah’s ark and Joan of Arc?” Eleanor Patala: “One was made of wood and the other was Maid of Orleans.” Teacher: ‘Tell us what you can about the manners and customs of the people of India.” A. Basile: ‘They ain’t got no manners, and they don’t wear no customs.” Geo. Beck: “That’s the best joke I ever heard you tell.” D. Sehuller: “I’m glad you like it.” Geo. Beck: “I don’t.” The callers looked at the plain little girl and one said to the other: “Not very p-r-e-t-t-y, is she?” “No,” said the child, “but awful s-m-a-r-t Aunt Fannie: ‘“Aren’t you going to say the blessing, dearie ?” Machine Age Child: “This food is coming to you through the courtesy of God AIl- mighty.” Saint Peter: “How did you get up here?” Newly Arrived Spirit: “Flu.” She: “I don’t like the looks of that hali- but.” Fish Dealer: ‘Well, Madam, if it’s looks you’re after, you had better buy gold fish.” “That’s a nice ham,” said the grocer to the bride. ‘Home cured.” “Take it away,” said the bride. “I want one that hasn’t been sick.” She: “Do you think that the way to true happiness is to forget yourself, to bury your- self completeley in your work?” He: “Sorry, I don't. I’m a_ concrete worker.” First Collegian: “Here comes a speed cop.” Second Collegian: “Quick! Hang out the Notre Dame pennant.” Don Hauptfuehrer: “Sir, my beautiful sister is dying of starvation. Will you buy the rest of my papers?” W. Schneible: ‘No, but I’ll take your sis- ter out to dinner.” Miss Eysaman: “Who are the_ twelve greatest people in the world?” Art Wilson: “The R. F. A. football team eleven, and according to V. Seubert, she’s the twelfth.” “Now in case anything should go wrong with this experiment,” said Mr. Whittemore, “we and the laboratory with us will all be blown sky high. Now, come a little closer, boys, in order that you may follow me.” Jack was not prone to over-exertion in school; therefore, his mother was surprised and pleased when he came home with the an- nouncement, “I got 100 this morning.” “That's lovely, dear,” she said as she kissed the boy tenderly. ‘What was it in?” she asked. “50 in English and 50 in History.” During a lecture the professor said to a student, “Did you follow me?” “Yes, sir,” was the reply, “except when you were between me and the blackboard.” “T try to make myself clear,” said he, “but I can’t make myself transparent.” Teacher: “Arthur, spell weather.” A. Wilson: ‘“W-I-E-T-H-O-U-R.” Teacher: “Sit down, Arthur. That’s the worst spell of weather we’ve had this year.” “Who is that fellow speaking?’ asked the man who had just entered the crowd. “Oh, some soap-box orator.” “Judging from the look of his face, I should say he needs a better acquaintancce with his platform.” Insurance man: “Do you want your office furniture insured against theft?” Manager: “Yes, all except the clock. Every- body here watches that all the time.” aT DE-O-WAIN STA Ea HUMOR—Continued A woman at midnight very excitedly rang at the door of the doctor. “Quick. quick! I think my son has swal- lowed a mouse.” “Well,” said the doctor, “tell him to swal- low a cat and let me sleep.” Ramona Stuart (translating Latin): rl went up to him, put my arms around his neck’ and that is as far as I got.” Miss Stauring: ‘“That’s far enough.” Little Audrey pushed her boy friend over the railing, and when she was scolded by her mother, little Audrey laughed and_ said, “Why mama, he’s got on his light fall over- coat.” While in Washington: Bill Searle: ‘“‘There were a hundred baths in the that hotel but now there are only 99.” Carl Cecilia: “How come?” Bill Searle: “I took one!” “You sent for your daughter to come home again?” “Yes, we found it too expensive to have her living in the city supporting herself.” Billy W.: “What's there so artistic about that old pipe?” Brewster P.: “It draws well.” Nature Hint: Another good place for a zipper would be on a string bean. The difference between a gum-chewing girl and a cud-chewing cow is the thoughtful look on the cow’s face. Mickey Boyd: ever met.” Junior’ “Tell it to the Seniors.” Mickey: “I have—but they don’t believe me. “You’re the nicest boy I Ginny: “What did your father say when you told him you wrecked the car?” Sally: “Shall I leave out the swear words ?” Ginny: “Yes.” Sally: “He didn’t say a word.” George Larkin: “Is your dog a good watch dog?” Hud Pyle: “Is he? Why, our house was robbed three times and our dog watched in- tently.” In school the per cent of wins on bluff is just about the same as in poker. Doctor: “Is the night nurse giving you proper attention ?”’ Eddie Mack: “Not exactly, but I’m _ per- fectly satisfied.” He: ‘My stock in trade is my brain.” She: “You’ve got a funny looking sample case.” Carl Aiken: “I wonder what people wear in heaven?” Martha Houser: “They might wear sur- prised looks if you were there.” Thelma Thomas: “I heard you flunked English this semester, Art. Is that true?” Art Wilson: “Yeah! Miss Luce asked us to write an essay on the ‘Result of Laziness,’ and I handed in a blank sheet of paper!!” Bob Beach to Waiter: “Why does that dog sit there and look at me all the time?” Waiter: “You've got the plate he usually eats from, sir.” 2ebecca Levine: “I should have more eredit in that first question. I wrote six pages.” Prof. Cole: “But we don’t weigh _ the paper.” Willard Schneible: ‘‘No girl ever made a fool of me.” Ginny Seubert: “Well, who did then?” Teacher: “You can’t sleep in my class.” Tom Savage: “If you would talk a little lower, I could.” Rey Colgan: “Do you think it’s right to punish people for things they haven’t done?” Miss Dempsey: ‘Why, of course not, Rey.” Rey Colgan: “Well, I didn’t do my home- work.” “T have never been in love,” said Muriel Solmon, “but I am just hoping that when Cupid hits me, it will be with a Pierce Ar- row.” Pat Ackerman: “Before we were married, you said you were well off.” Jack Ward: “I was, but I didn’t know it.” Pat Pattyson: “Did you like that cigar I gave you? For 500 of that brand you get a banjo.” Butch Walter: “If I smoked 500 of those cigars, I'd need a harp.” sr. = shen? aana We 3) = DE-0 WAIN STA HUMOR—Continued The Eyes Have It Some of our novelists seem not to care what they do with their characters’ eyes. For example: “Her eyes roamed carelessly ‘round the room.” “With her eyes she riveted him to the spot.” “He tore his eyes from her face and they fell on the letter at her feet.” “Marjory would often take her eyes from the deck and cast them far out to sea.” Difficult Performance “Com-paa-nee atten-shun!” bawled the drill sergeant to the “awkward squad.” “Com-paa- nee, lift up your left leg and hold it straight in front of you.” By mistake one member held up his right leg, which brought it out side by side with his neighbor’s left leg. “And who is the galoot over there holding up both legs?” shouted the hard-boiled ser- geant. Father: ‘Son, your school report shows a lot of very low marks. How about it?” Henry: “Well, you see, Dad, everything's so high nowadays, I thought it was time some items were marked down.” “Prof. Borem is going to speak in chapel today. Isn’t he tiresome? His speeches are just like a cat’s tail.” “How’s that?” “Fur to the end.” “I'd say the worst thing about Prof. Bo- rem’s speeches are that they are like a mon- grel dog’s tail.” “Why are they like a dog’s tail?” “Bound to a cur.” “I wonder why it is that people always re- fer to a canoe as ‘she’?” “Evidently you never tried to guide one.” The foreman of an electrical repair shop was interviewing Joe Stellato who was apply- ing for a position. “Do you know anything at all about elec- trical apparatus?” asked the foreman. “Yes, sir,” was the prompt reply. “What is an armature?” asked the fore- man. “It’s a guy who sings for Major Bowes.” They had lost their way in their new and expensive car. “There’s a sign, dear; are we on the right road?” With a flashlight he read: “To the Poor- house.” “Yes,” he answered. ‘We're on the right road, but we didn’t know it.” Teacher: “Why is your examination paper covered with quotation marks?” Boy: “Out of courtesy to the boy who sat in front of me.” Teacher: “And why all the question marks ?” Boy: “Out of courtesy to the boy who sat behind me.” In the course of an examination, Mr. Smith asked: “Does the question embarrass you?” “Not at all, sir,” replied Roger Winterton, “not at all. It is quite clear. It is the an- ey swer that bothers me! Mrs. Graves, on entering the Home Eco- nomics class, exclaimed: ‘My, but isn’t it nice to see so many bright, shining faces!” Immediately a small battery of powder puffs went to work!” Teacher: ‘You should write your themes in such a way that even the most ignorant people can understand them.” Wm. Ott: “Which one of mine didn’t you understand ?” a DE-O WAIN STA Appreciations ACCOUNTANT IGAR STORES 4. B. Dick awe ; Ide ATTORNEYS H Arthur Seth Evans ANERS Francis J. Lawler White H. N.
