a ea ——- To you these jokes seem pretty slim, To us they are the same; But if you chance to write a few You'll find it’s not the easy game It is supposed to be. Miss Crane—“Harry, what is adhesion?” Harry—“Well, adhesion is something like mucilage; it is hard.” Mr. Searcy—“Ruby, why are you cry- ing?” Ruby A.—Oh, Alice De. threw her al- gebra book at me and hit me on the head.” Mr. Searcy—“Well, you are thé first pu- pil in the class on whom the algebra has ever made the least impression.” Found in the chemistry book of Elza Freze—“Oh! to sit in row nine.” Wanted—“A Knife’”—Sign on south side of the study hall. Marian Bogle—“There was an awful fight in our back yard last night.” Thelma G— “Gracious, anyone hurt?” Marian—“Yes, our cat licked his paw.” Beautiful—Paul Cochrane As winds the ivy around the tree, As to the crag the moss patch roots; So clings my constant soul to thee! My own, my beautiful—my boots. Small Freshie—‘I think my suit is a per- fect fit, don’t you?” Senior— “A perfect convulsion, my little man.” Rachel L.—‘What are you doing?” Ruby A. (studying U.S. Hist.)—“Oh, just trying to remember my dates.”

THE ECHO. EXCHANGES The beginning of a new term finds the exchange table well supplied with material for consideration. “Current Events” for December 2, pub- lished in Chicago, Ill., presents some excel- lent material, which in our estimation is most invaluable. You surely do contain a concise statement of the “current events.” “Ripples,” Cedar Falls, lowa: Why no table of contents? The arrangement of your material could be improved. The insertion of editorials first, gives the impression that you consider your other material as of but secondary importance. Your departments are all well edited. “The Alert,” Turlock, Cal.: You are an excellent paper. Some more well-made cuts would make your departments present a more wide-awake appearance. “The Skirmisher,’ St. Matthews School, Burlingame: You surely do your school and editorial staff credit. All your depart- ments are well taken care of. Your literary material is good. “The Nooz,” Emerson High School, Ste vens Point, Wis.: Your cuts are fine; your literary material and departments are good, but you spoil the whole appearance of your paper by careless arrangement. You have no table of contents; also too much adver- tising in the front pages. The same criti- cism as to editorials applies to your case, as to that of “Ripples.” “Wheat,” Ritzville, Wash.: Your ma- terial is good, arrangement fair. Your cuts are good. Why no table of contents? “The Adjutant,’ Mt. Tamalpias Military Academy: Your general appearance is very attractive. There is room for a great deal more good literary work. One story hardly balances so many fully written departments. “Keramos,” East Liverpool, Ohio: We find four pages well written ads in the front of your paper, but no table of contents. You stock cover is very neat. The article on “Oberamagau and the Passion Play” is most interesting. More cuts would be an im- provement. “The Toltec,’ Duranzo, Colorado: See criticism of “Ripples,” as to editorials. Your literary material and cuts are both good. “The Sentinel,” Harvard Military School, Los Angeles: Though your pages are few in number, they are well edited. “The Pioneer,” Newman Manual Train- ing School, New Orleans, La.: There lies before you the task of laying the foundation of a school activity, which will be either an influential factor in your school or a failure, depending largely upon the success of the first few issues. Though scant in quantity, your material is all right. You have the heartiest “best wishes” of The Echo for a successiul career. “The Lowell,” Lowell High School, San Francisco: Your Christmas Annual is the mose elaborate exchange received this month. However, your table of contents is missing. All your material, though in “A Lighter Vein,” is good. We enjoyed this issue immensely. The method of inserting photos was unique. j a ————

THE ECHO. The Freshman for his greenness, The Sophomore for his wit, The Junior for his meanness, And the Senior for his—quit. Used by Our Best “Forget it—cast it away.”’—Hawthorne’s Marble Faun. “She was a respectable old guy.”—Thack- eray’s Vanity Vair. “It’s a sure thing.”’—Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer.” “Twenty-three”—Dicken’s Tale of Two Cities. “Gave Hector a gift—a gilt nutmeg—a lemon.”—Shakespeare’s Love’s Labors Lost. “Cut in and win.”’—Thackeray’s Vanity Fair. Mr. Steele (economics)—‘Mr. Abeel, what is the difference between capital and labor ?” “Hap.”—“If Snyder owed me $25, it would be capital—for him; but if I tried to get it back, that would be labor—for me.” Howard Gilkey—“I really think that when my brain develops, I shall return to High School and take up the higher scien- ces. These simple studies are only for the ordinary mind.” Laugh and the teacher laughs with you, Laugh again and you laugh alone; The first case is the teacher’s joke, The second when the joke’s your own. oe —Ex. Paul C.—“You are as full of airs as a mu- sic-hox.” Nan G.—“Well, even if I am, I don’t go with a crank.” Mother Bird—‘“Run along and play, now; be careful you don’t get run over by any of those flying machines.” Algebra Let X equal a dog; Let Y equal a meat-chopper ; Then X divided by Y equals sausage. Mr.. Jeffries—“Robert, name the zones.” Robert Slyter (Freshie)—‘“There are two kinds of zones—masculine and feminine. The masculine are both temperate and in- temperate, and the feminine are both horrid and frigid.” Miss Crane—‘What do you get when you drop a lighted match in to a bottle of hydro- gen or oxygen—water?”’ Earl W.—“No; you get a busted bottle.” Soliloquy of a Poor Speller If an S and an I and an O anda U With an X at the end spell Su; And an E and a Y and E spell I, Pray what is a speller to do? Then, if also an S and anI andaG And an H E D spell cide, There’s nothing left for a speller to do, But to go and commit siouxeyesighed! —Ex.
