12 SHERMAN ANNUAL, JUNE, 1922 Where am l? l asked. Fay looked at me and laughed. Hln a hammock at the sum- mer camp. You have been dreamingfl she added laughingly. Ml have, l answered, 'il have dreamed about everyone that is in our class at Sherman School. You and l were in Tibet, visiting the holy men. '4Well, my dreamer, l think we both will stay in San Diego for a few more years, mused Fay, but now tell me of your dream. lt is very longf' l saidf However l told it to her just as it is written here. liy lllargaret lialdwin and Fay Edman, SA. 75525.55 ' School School is all right in its place l suppose, But in studying dry llistory l surely do doze. Literature means Shakespeare, Dickens, and Scott- With such needless study my head grows hot. Arithmetic means fractions, tables and such, I'd like to see when it'll amount to much! Language consists of such things as this- Verbs and nouns-none of it 's bliss. lf we had our choice, with all our might We'd have school banished and out of sight, Still, I suppose it's all right in its way, For we do have fun maybe once a day. Nellie R. Stephens, SA. 19 V59 V59 Do You Remember When Herbert Palmer sat on a tack in Miss Lane's room? When Harry Douglas tried to find the length of a Hhippopota- mus by finding the sum of the squares of its other two sides? Herbert Palmer, the Powder puff vamp? When King went to the Hpantryu for drawing paper? When Miss Bradley told ns to sing without words? When Toothpickville was founded, and all chewed on tooth- picks to celebrate the occasion? When the girls wore corkscrews and pig-tails, and the boys wore spit curls? 'Dobe Falls, and all the wonderful views to be seen there? N When Rhoby baptized Marshall with ink? The colonial Flapperff' A Uncle Billy fWilliam 'llnrnerl and the horse equator? When Uncle Billy ran so fast the steam came out of his ears? When Rhoby went to the beach and submerged?

It is thc once spry and active but now pale and frail Virginia Minasianf' Here comes the world renowned prize fighter, Glenn Minor. He is going into an air garage. Air Garage! What in the world is that! Oh, yes! that is the new style of garage for airoplanes. The proprietor of this one is Robert Ames. t'Far down the street is tl1e place where Abe Buckman mana- faetures the latest ki11d of cast iron rolling pins. Eugene De Castro, the famous biscuit maker is going in to buy one. H011 the north side of the street, there is a theater. On the bill board is printed, tPete Jacobs, the matinee idol, in Don lt be Nervous'. Also the noted sculptress, Thelma Uarlson, will demon- strate how she carves statutes out of noodles.

It is a fish hatchery. t'Don't you remember we heard by radio, the other day, that Ruth Daniels and Thelma Ruddick, the best fish hatchery 11urses, in the world, would have charge of the fish hatcheries in Moscow, Russia? asked Fay. 'tThose women are certainly Ruth and Thelma, she added. 'KB-ut, look! a beach scene is coming into viewf' said I. , See that husky lite saver over there. It is Russell Good. HHere comes Fred Fickas. He is trying to sell complexion cream to the men near by. Who is that woman talking so earnestly to that group of peo- ple. Ah! yes-it is Martha Peterson trying to sell her latest book called, How to be Wealthy tho married. 'tThere is Jane Welch selling chewing gum made of g1'ape juice and lemon soda pop. UThat man buying a Ford machine is Ivan Wiker! He must be buying a Ford because his bicycle caused him so much trouble. Hurrying down the street, is a man dressed as a navy captain. It is Charles Wilson. He must be importing copra from Alaska for the bakers' cake frosting. Goodness, I don 't think l'd like the cake, Fay said. Then we heard a crash! Voming from the rainbow we saw Naomi Smelansky. Oh!l' she cried, won't you have some of the doughnuts I have just baked. l guarantee you can eat the whole of the dough- nut t'or they are not hard like my last ones. I bit one but oh! I had broken my tooth! l opened my eyes. Why, T was ina hammock! I turned my head. Seated, in a chair near by, was Fay. -U ,., - - Y-- V. ,g-5-'fz'1uu-as--svweh VY., ....,,,,g.,.

M - I wig - 534, k SHERMAN ANNUAL, JUNE, I-922 I3 A Disappointment It was near midnight when two small germs crept out of their hiding place, i11 a can of salmon left uncovered in the pantry. The first one said, f'This family is the most ignorant family I ever met in all the three thousand years of my life. Wliy, they haven't been to a dentist since l have been here, and look at Eliza- beth's teethll' Yes, answered the second germ, Hyou remember the teeth of that Indian chief whom we used to visit back in lOl? He had some excuse, though, because he had never heard of tooth paste. But Elizabeth sees it every day. l saw a whole pile of tooth brushes in the bathroom, too. Hltlr. Peck is the superintendent down at the shipyards and he has enough money to buy them some tooth-paste. Shl sh I cried the elder germ, 'iwvliat do we care? Their loss is our gain anyway. We'll feed well tonight, he added, 'fthe family had syrup and pancakes for breakfast and of course they didn 't brush their teeth I They stole very softly through the kitchen and into the bedroom. Lets go to Harold tonight, remarked the younger germ. As they went down Harold 's row of teeth the first germ cried, 'flsn't this strange! That cavity we fed on last night is all filledlt' And Harold teeth are al! white and shining! Just as if he had brushed them! . UL-et's go to Mary, saitl the first germ, 'she loves candy and I never heard of her brushing her teeth. But they found Mary 's teeth in the same condition as her brothers Then they inspected the teeth of every member of th family, from the father to little Jim the baby. Every cavity was filled and every tooth brushed. At last they turned and looked at each other. l'd just like to catch whoever told these people about tooth pastel cried the younger germ angrily. 'fThat wonldn 't help us any. answered the older germ. 'fCome on, I guess we will have to go. So they went sadly out of the win- dow to try to find another family as ignorant as this one had been, which they were now leaving.
