THE COMMENCEMENT NUMBER PAST RA Page Twenty-four Miscellaneous Edna and Cash were making up their Junior German one eve- ning after school reciting to Mr. Kamman. They had translated fifteen pages and both were becoming tired. The story, however, was at the most thrilling point—the hero telling the heroine of his great love for her and his desire to remain by her side forever— when Cash got stuck. Edna seeing a good chance to tell Cash to quit wrote on a piece of paper, “Tell him you haven’t any more time and have to go home.” Cash, thinking it to be a translation of the next line began very boldly— “Tell him you have—etc.” Mr. Kamman took the hint and excused them. Mr. B.—I understand your boy Joe plays halfback on the foot- team, Mr. Swope—Yes. Mr. B.—How is he in his studies? Mr. Swope—Oh, he is all the way back in them . Roy Hughes is a cute little boy, He’s teacher’s pet and mamma’s “Joy.” Mr. D.—‘‘What caused the depreciation in silver?” Cash—“Because so much of it was mine(d).” Lona Carlock (overheard)—‘“Oh, he has such beautiful large, blue eyes and light curly hair.” Was she referring to Marion 1 Reais beg Christine, (explaining a passage in Hnglish)—It was an old habit of one of the religious sects to wash their feet— Blaine, under his breath)—Whitson sure don’t belong to that sect! Carrie offers a reward for any one who will find her an escort —she says she is getting tired going around with her sister and her beau. WANTED—Information concerning Julius’ excellent Latin les- son on April 8, and an understanding why he could not recite, when his mother visited the class on the following day. To know what became of some of the Juniors when Miss Able kept them in—Mr. Kamman. A microscope to see whether Will Humes is in class or not.— A preventative or sure cure for Squeaking shoes.—Vaughn Johnson. PATIENTS.—I can remove any object from the eye. Miss Davi- son, Hye Specialist, old Office and Paint Shop, Shields High School, North Walnut street, Seymour, Ind. Mrs. D. to Freshie—‘Did you go to the meet?” Freshie—“Now, I didn’t went cause I had went before and didn’t want to and if I had wanted to went I wouldn’t’ve got to weine.” The Junior class would like to know what the joke is about Mick and the concrete object. Mr. Kamman—Russell, what was the extraordinary thing about the founding of Rome? Russell—It started with a handful of peanuts (peasants). Mr. K.—Yes, I should say that would be extraordinary. A ae 2 fe Miss Abel—Clarence, what can’t you get in that sentence? Clarence—long-e. (farther). A Freshman girl giving an oration:——I solemnly vow and declare this fifteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord, nine- teen hundred and ten, that I am going to be a soldier if I grow to be a man. If you want to get wise just call on the Sophs Vir says her face is her fortune. Will someone please donate something. ing .. 7 ee

THE Page Twenty-five One evening George Schleter spent the night with friends. During the night his horse was stolen and the following is what appeared in the paper concerning the affair: “One night, the order day, ven I vas been awaked in my sleeps I heard somethings vor I tinks vas not just right in my parn, and I shumps out of bed and runs the parn out and ven I vas der come I sees dat my pig gray iron mare, he vas been tied loose and run mit the stable off, and whoever will him back bring I just pay him as vas been kustimary.” Miss Abel—Frank, where did you begin your review for today? Frank H.—I didn’t begin. Two Freshmen were overheard discussing Latin and one said that he liked Latin so well that he had made up a poem about it, which was as follows: Love your w ork and study well, But let your Latin go to—pieces. Mr. Donaker—“Chester, have you ever seen the Catskill Moun- tains?” Chester—‘“No, but I’ve seen them kill mice.” Floyd G—My eyes have seen the glory of the going of the geography. ¢ Margaret( in Latin)—Misericors, Misericordis (pronounced Miss Sara Cordes). -Louis Cordes—I wonder if she is any relation to me. All are cordially invited to attend the free lecture given every afternoon from two un..| two forty-five by Mr. Edwards. Mr. Kamman at ball game addressed a small boy as follows:— “How many strikes do they have to make before the zame is over?” Small Boy—Any number, just so we win.” Chester Miller—“No girls, my father would not let me haye the auto, because he said that he had not bought it for such fool’sh purposes.” PAT RA O'T COMMENCEMENT NUMBER In the auto there were six, he, four chaperones and she. As this merry party neared the country church the chaperones in the back seat were surprised to hear Mary M., seated by the side of John A., say, “Oh, girls, I am so excited.” During Latin recitation— Miss A.—“Wilfred what does the word flendus sum mean?” Wilfred—“I am going to cry.” Mr. Donaker is showing a special favor to the Senior boys by having the Freshmen girls write papers which call for occasional trips to the library. (How about it Bobby and Clem?) Hence, loathed Civics haze, By James and Sandford writ! How little you are fit, To meet the weary students’ gaze. Ask George Laupus how far it is from his seat to the floor in room A, Angry Teacher—‘“Now then, stupid, what’s the next word that comes after cheese?” Pupil—“A mouse, sir.” “My hair is golden butter,” Said Margie so serene. Said Kennie, ‘They all call her Margie, | But I believe its Margerine.” When rain falls, does it ever rise again?” asked Mr. D. in bot- any class. Pupil—“‘Yes, sir.” Mr. D.—‘‘When Pupil—“‘Why in dew (due) time.” Miss Andrews (exasperately)—Why do you not speak louder? Vaughn—A soft answer turneth away wrath. Miss Abel—Floyd, what degree is that adjetive? Floyd—It is e-er-er is of the nominative degree, isn’t it?
