24 SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL RADIATOR Humor-ettes ■jcrs s zasssssaaffi HUMOR The world is old, yet likes to laugh New jokes are hard to find; A whole new editorial staff Can’t tickle every mind.

It lit all right a minute ago.” Miss Bradford: “Ink your drawings with precision.” Soph: “Please, teacher, where do we find the precision ?” We thought you might like to know — The best face-lifting surgeon is deah, old Dec Prosperity.

Mr. Donahue: “What was the Mayflower Compact?” Student: “A new kind of powder.” Poemtry Section — Ode to a Mosquito Quick Henry It Lit Bit Flit “You sometimes find a pearl in an oyster stew,” remarked the waiter pleasantly. But the customer only grunted: “I’m look- ing for oysters.” Soph: “What college are you going to?” Senior: “Shoe College.” Soph: “I never heard of it.” Senior: “It’s a little higher than Oxford.” (Ed. note: And they slaughter houses).
