Eva Tyberg (in Algebra I class): Mr. Lovett, I don‘t understand the sixth problem. Mr. Lovett: I am glad to hear that, as I am getting tired of getting paid for doing nothing. So great was Pearl’s admiration of Abbotsford, the country place of Sir Walter Scott, that she was heard to declare that, when she was rich she was going over to Scotland and buy it from his ancestors. Mrs. Wyatt (in English I B): Now look at the board and I will try to run through it for you. Mr. Lovett, after being struck force- fully by a large wad of tin-foil which had glanced after hitting the ceiling end ended rather abruptly upon the bald pate of this prominent member of our faculiy, said to a guilty looking Freshman: “Pardon me for interrupt- ing you, but why did you shoot me with that wad?” The Freshman, having evidently been reading Guy Empey’s “Over the Top,” replied: ‘Well, you bloomin‘ blighter, ‘asn’t experience taught you to duck when a star shell is sent up?” Two High School students were journeying down one of the busy thor- oughfares of our peaceful little city, when a noise like unto trip hammers in a boiler factory came unto their ears, whereupon one of them said: “Gee, Whizz! I wonder what all that racket is about?” The other replied: “Oh, that is probably Fraak Parker knocking the ashes out of his pipe.’ Mr. Gaston (to Claude after a day’s absence): Did you bring your excuse? Claude: Nah, I couldn’t get one. Mr. G: Then it is a case of truancy? Claude: Not that bad; its just hookey. Miss McKay (in Domestic Science): Helen, that pie crust is not short enough. Helen: Well, if I make it any shor- er it won’t cover the pan. Edwin S. brings a pint bottle of milk to school every day, that is the reason he always is the first one out of the school building at night. He drinks it on the way home from school. He told Bertha that Bill P, had told him he would bring Ed one of the bottles he used when he was very small. Lit- tle Ed said that Little Bifl had not brought it yet (maybe Bill is still using it and hates to give it up). Miss Ware (to Charles Olson): Go on, chile’ you ain’t got no sense no- how. Charles: What’s my head for, then. Miss Ware: Why that’s just to keep 299 yo’ back from unraveling’. Inez Stafford: Next term I am going to undertake the study of Latin. Mr. Stafford: H’m, I suppose them dead languages do need an undertaker. Arita Sharp (in Domestic Science): I’ve lost a diminutive, argentous truncated cone, convex on its summit and semi-perforated, with symmetrical indentations. Pearl Anderson: ble. Here’s your thim- ADVERTISEMENTS Use Dr. Price’s remedies for love sickness and heart aches. We guaran- tee satisfactory results. (Paid adv.)

okes Mrs. Wyatt (in English I class): Hazel, can you give me an equivalent for the hackneyed expression, “wreath- ed in smiles.’’? Hazel: ‘The girl had a large smile on her face.” Mrs. Wyatt: That may be true if she has a big mouth. Dorothy (in History I class): The Romans ate their noon-day meal at 2 o‘clock. Mrs. Wyatt in Gen. Science): When the rain falls, does it rise again? James M: Yes, in dew time. Freshie: I know who you are! Soph: Who am I? Freshie: Nobody. Marie S: I know where the first doughnut was made. Esther H: Where was it? Marie S: In Greece. Elvera: What book has helped you most? Helen: My father’s check-book. Arita S: I would like to have one of the Miller boys for a watch fob. Dorothy, dropping her book of Rome, said: “That is the fall of Rome.” To the Editor: Will you please pub- lish a recipe for making Freshman keep still? I find it impossible to keep their mouths closed for more than one minute. Respectfully, ELIZABETH HONKANEN. Ans: The only way is to do more talking than they. Reply: impossible. Orville Spath sat chewing gum in bookkeeping class, and also had his pedal extremities projecting into the aisle, whereupon Miss Ware spoke as follows: “Orville, take that gum out of your mouth and put your feet in.” Frances (to Prof. Gaston): I am in- debted to you for all I know. Prof. Gaston: Don’t mention such a trifle. Mr. Lovett: I thought you knew that formula. Mildred O: I had my book closed. I wish I were a Fresh again, With ideals still unshattered, Because whate’er I wished to do, Then, no example mattered. Recited by Doris H. Leola Ball: We laugh at Mr. L’s jokes, No matter what they may be; Not because they’re funny jokes, But because it’s policy. The Freshman envy Seniors, For Seniors run the school; But when you are a Senior, You dare not break the rule. Every teacher calls to you, As down the hall you run; You must a great example set, And so miss all the fun. A kindly teacher told a maid A poem short to write. This seemed a snap, so she obeyed, And tried with all her might. She worked for hours but all in vain, Her mind was simply blank. She bit her pencil, rack’d her brain, Her thoughts and wits just sank. The poor girl worked until the dawn, And she was nearly dead; The morning found her senses gone, With ice bags on her head. In all the night one line she wrote, And it was short and sweet “O’er rippling waves the boat did float?’ Which made her verse complete.

Marie Christensen (before Algebra exams): Say, Mr. Lovett, what are you going to give us in the Algebra exam? Mr. Lovett: Why, I’m liable to give you anything we’ve covered. You can expect one problem from every dif- ferent type of problem we've had. You know, Marie, at a banquet one always likes to have a taste of everything on the table, so I think it advisable to give you a taste of all the problems we’ve had so far. Marie: But they Hoooverize now, Mr. Lovett. : Mrs. Wyatt (in English I): Where is Hades? (A pause and finally a small boy held up his hand). Mrs. Wyatt: Well, Charles; do you know? Charles Olson: I think it’s where the peace conference is held, isn’t it? Marie Schamberger (asking permis- sion from Miss Ware, to speak): Can I talk? Miss Ware: Why certainly. Even Alexander the Great had Tyre trouble. Claude Barnes: Ruth BeLieu has a funny name, but I could change that. Harry Spath says: Beauty should be measured by volume. (And Francis Marsh continued to say “Oh, Hen.” William Olson says: Children should be seen and not heard. (William always keeps a respectful si lence). Mr. Lovett (in History I): Why did the Spartans want more land? Marie Christensen: To feed the people on.
