Feb. Feb. Feb. Mar Mar Mar. Apr. HIGH SPO 'TS fContinued from Page '6ol The Sophomore Class entertained us at a delightful Valentine party. Who got left on hearts? When we were complimented on our singing, we noticed that a certain party was absent. Lunched on cake and sandwiches this afternoon. Thanks to the Freshman girls. Holiday-queer thing, T. W. came to school. The holiday turned out to be disappointing on account of bad weather. A certain teacher expressed her opinion on the qualities a gentleman should possess. Father Wittman gave a Latin Thesis to be written. Red got a hair cut just like mine. Apr. Top left the classroom bright and early to the amazement of the students. Apr. Taffy head celebrated April fool day ten days too late by bring- Apr ing Sister blank ticketsg he was the one that got fooled. Yesterday some of the students went to the K. of C. spelling contest in Bridgeport to see Genevieve Schlernitzauer bring home the bacon and today we were given the pleasure of view- ing the silver trophy, she won for the school.

MendeIson's 3340 Belmont St. Bellaire, Ohio 'WISE AND OTl-lERWlSE A German philosopher says that the way to keep young is never to look back. Well, if you never look back while crossing the street, it's a cinch you'll never have the chance to grow old. According to scientsts, Mother Earth weighs 592 quintillion tons. Let us hope that she doesn't get it into her head to reduce. A noted chemist says that a gas has been discovered which is too ter- rible even to be used in war. Probably the bootleggers can make something out of it. A man without ambition is like a pan of dough without yeast to raise it. The fellow who keeps his property in his wife's name isn't any worse than the fellow who keeps his religion the same way. Smiles cost less than electric light, and they make the home brighter. A certain professor is trying to train an oyster. If he can get it to sing and dance, his teaching days will be over. One reason why conscience so often has a still, small voice is because it is a still, small conscience. He- I see the day when men will do only mental work. She- That means we are bound to have a lot of unemployment. It is strange commentary but the head never begins to swell until the mind stops growing. A recent magazine article on The Hygiene on the Face neglected to recommend that it should be kept closed about other peoples affairs. If you want a man to praise your judgment, all you have to do is agree with him. There is nothing like a holiday for inducing rain. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, if you dont use your head your brain will rust. Maybe calf-skin makes the best boots, but banana skins make good slip- pers. When a man sings his own praise, he invariably gets the tune too high. B. Benline and C. Bakosh.
