THE PARTING SHOT 11 Wham do Inez Ryer and Mary Lee see up to the railroad station every Sunday evening after East Hampton has played ball here? Why were Arthur Newman’s knees so stiff when he got home from the meet? Why do Margaret Edwards and Margaret White remove their glasses when they wish to feee anything plainly? What was Jeannette Leek looking at one night a long while ago, when she tried to demolish a hydrant? Will Constance Hildreth please tell us what car-sickness feels Dike? How many tablets of paper less would be sold in the school if Myrtle Ramisbottom quit writing notes to the Good Ground boys? The next time Jeannette Leek and Genevieve Luce bet a pound box of candy, would it not be well for them to take care whom they bet with? Is it true that Myron Leek and Buck Burnett study till eleven o’clock every night? If Stanley Biggs comes back to schoofl next year, will his delicate con- stitution force him to remain at home when it rains? Will Buck Burnett manage the Basket Ball Team next year? What is that awful loudness in the halil? Mae Cameron’s green sweater. Are Edgar Foster and Henry Griffin so interested in their studies that they wait over for the late train, or are there other attractions to wait over for? How many more times will Stanley Biggs have to be sent hdme for an excuse before he remembers to bring it? Will Edward Brennen ever recuperate from making the Junior Response? Our school days now have come and gone For us too soon, alas! And now we meet with saddened hearts- The last time all our class. But, when into the world we’ve gone And here no more are seen, Our memories will keep ever fresh Our loyal class ’14. For four long years we’ve tried our best Our daily work to do; But now the books are laid aside; PAUL NUGENT.

10 THE PARTING SHOT The Question Box How long before we shall hear of Bernard Hirschfeld, as president of a college, the (mayor of a city, the governor of a state, or some other such high official? How many Phi Beta Kappa keys will be awarded to our Valedictorian, Helen Whitman, when she has finished a brilliant college course?

How many people will Milton Hirschfeld run down this summer with his boss’s new Ford ? Jeannette Leek, What is the relationship between a black eye and a pink eye? Why did Leland Burnett join the choral when he can’t carry a tune? How is it that, since the Washington trip, George Hiscock has business at Sag Harbor every Saturday afternoon? Did you know that Kenneth Havens has a girl in nearly every town in Suffolk County? Does Margaret White ever drive the Bu(i)ck? Has Margaret Edwards a serious ailment in her throat, or does she just clear it for effect? Who would have had the first prize for the girls in the speaking contest this year, if Crawford Halsey had been a judge? Wasn’t Jeannette Leek mad at the athletic meet when she took several pictures of her heavyweight, I mean the fellow throwing the heavyweight, with somebody else’s camera? Since Alan Hildreth is coming back to school again, would it not be well for the Senior Class to leave him, or find for him another nice little girl. Where did Milton derive his great knowledge of argumentation? Will this be hard for Margaret White to explain? When is a Buck a de(a)r? Did you hear that Myron Leek had changed his name to Vernon Castle Leek ? Why are Crawford Halsey and Leland Burnett dreading the close of the Bordentown Military Institute?
