16 THE FOUR CORNERS A Senior’s Dream Come True I gazed at her blue and shining eyes. Her lips were saying those three wonder¬ ful words I had waited so long to hear. I eonld not believe it, yet it was true. Again she said, fulfilling the dream of mv life, “Xo history assignment.” The Seven Wonders of the Sophomores 1. I wonder if that is right. 2. I wonder what the assignment is. 3. I wonder if the teacher will call for it tomorrow. 4. I wonder if I can bluff it. 5. I wonder what I’m supposed to do next. 0. T wonder if 1 can drop it and take some¬ thing else. 7. I wonder who invented this stuff, any way. W. H.,’39: “I’ve been trying to think of a word for two weeks.” R. W., ’38: “How about fortnight V ’ II. II., ' -38 (tending filling station): “Check your oil ?” R. S., ’39: “Xo. thanks, I’m taking it with me.” Clean Dirt Some Juniors find that the Lab door isn ' t large enough for three to pass through together, but, anyhow, it takes more time —after school. Everyone is wondering what became of the Teddy Bear mascot of the girls basket¬ ball team. There is a school rule which says that boys and girls may not sit together, but a certain junior boy and senior girl find it just as easy to stand and talk. Well, now that spring has come, ro¬ mances seem to spring up with the grass. First, it ' s a certain blond sophomore and a cute little junior. Hut when the curly- haired drummer and his little red-headed drum major get together, look out! And speaking of fashion news—the boys are painting their nails this year. If you don ' t believe it, take a look at the mani¬ cures of a good-l ooking junior and a curly- haired sophomore boy. The saucy little redhead Is feeling all alone. The nice, attractive senior Took a certain brunette home. M. M., 40 (through Lab door to P. K., who was looking intently through the mi¬ croscope) : “Anybody in there ? P. K., ' 38: “Yes. Ur. Higgins is.” Police Officer: “Why is your car painted red on one side and blue on the other ?” R. W.. ' 3S: “It ' s a bright idea of mine. I like to hear the witnesses contradict one another.” MissM. (in junior business): “What does proxy mean ?” T. G., ’40: “Is that when they speak of a proxy blonde ?” Mrs. L. (in European history) : “What ' s a Grecian urn?” D. C., ’30: “Depends on what he does.” Miss H. (serving lima beans to Mr. S.) : “These are some beans I canned myself.” Mr. S.: “Is that so ? They’re good just the same.”
