102 THE 1940 ALBANIAN Miscellaneous ARRANGED below are a few various and sundry scraps of conversation which embody some of the old stand-bys of the faculty, and which in the future will probably have as much connection with those who gave them endurance as names or faces. Many of them will have meaning to only a few persons such as the boarders, and certainly no one will get the significance of all, but in days to come we hope that these bits will give new vigor and strength to fading memories. Anyone fortunate enough to be on hand at the time might well hear Mr. Lucas relating this classical tale gas he relaxes with his ever-present pipes. We cannot hope to reproduce here that certain quality of narra- tion which make out headmaster's anecdotes so enjoyably-unique, but anyway the yarn goes something like this: 'QOnce when I was in training camp during the War, our bunch had a change of command, and the new officer was a very, very young looking chap. Soon after he arrived, a notice was posted to the effect that the outfit would be reviewed by the new commanding oilicer, and went on to state how the drill as to be con- ducted, et Cetera. Right below the bulletin, in large, heavy letters, some wise-guy had written the quotation And a Little Child Shall Lead Themf' Well, this bird saw it and was frightfully burned up. Oh, boy he was sore! We had the review as scheduled, but almost immediately after it was over a notice appeared on the board that the next day our outfit would take a fearfully long hike, in heavy marching order, and gave particulars as to equipment, and so forth. But just below the notice there appeared in even larger letters the sentence, 'And a Little Child Shall Lead Them on a D ---- d Big White Horsel' U This one is by our beloved Papa Chasseaud, who also wears a bronze victory button for services over-seas: Here, boys, on the board, are a few pearls of wisdom with which the College Board will try their best to trick you. Do you copy them. You say you can't read my writing, Jake? No, that,s an 'r, not an 'sf Yes, I know my handwriting isn't so good. Why, Jake? Well, it was injured during the War.
