Uh: ,Stouelpzm gig!! ,School Qtutlyudiz Glass Hates - 1915 Miss McPherson while trying to convince some members of the chem- istry class that she knew more about the subject than they, said, I should hate to tell you how long I have been studying chemistry. . 1515 During the past months the Wash- ington Club has 'been at work in va- rious ways to raise money for the trip next year. Different members have helped the cause along by the sale of groceries. In April, a moving picture reel, The Hound ot the Baskervilles, was given in Armory Hall, and quite a sum was realizeds In May a doughnut sale was held in Ames store by some of the girls. This, also, was quite a financial suc- cess. In addition, the Club held a dance in Assembly hall, which was a social success. There is a Plan to have a barn party, ln the near future at the home of Miss Eva MacAnany, Dunck- lee avenue. These things look hope- ful for the Club and it ls earnestly hoped that all who can will help to carry out the plan of the workers. Kerwin in French-Savez-vous Qu'il pleut?

We are awfully pleased to observe Marion's new wrist watch, tres chic, n'est-ce pas? What's that noise? Oh that's Marion's new wrist watch. 1517 Daniels told us in French one day that he had eaten a dozen ot eggs for his breakfast that morning. It is queer some little boys have such huge appetites. Heard in English. Well Silas Marner didn't have any early life any- way. . One day in Latin Hamill told us of some of Caesar's conquered people who implored with their hands. We certainly think Carol had tried to copy them, for he and Keenan have a won- derful sign language. Stevens seems to be really inter- ested in high class poetry. One day he quoted one of his favorites in our English class. In summer when the breezes Blows through the treeses, Tl1en's when the heses Walk with the sheses. Keenan seems to have a vision of his own of Anthony's famous speech. Anthony says that Caesar was am- bitious and Antony was an honorable man and so on until our English teacher tired of Antony's praises for himself. Heard in French. Louis XIII. was crowned in the days of Noah. Why was Miss S- spellbound when asked the kind of nouns? Why may- be she recalled a little incident in English that morning when she illus- trated the diierence in abstracted and concreted nouns. When Ellen reads the Pickwick Papers she gets so mischievous she doesn't know what to do with herself. Safety first. Do not read the Pick- wick Papers. I 1917 has some promising debaters who made the 1916 boys work their hardest for the cup. 14

The Sena- tor was more than middle-aged and considerably more than fat, and, dearly as the Major loved him, he also loved his joke. - The Senator turned with a pleased expression on his benign countenance and said: Major, did you see -that pretty girl smile at me? b Oh, that's nothing, replied his friend. The first time I saw you I laughed out loud! - Most of us think we will leave a big hole -behind us when we go, but lt's just like taking your thumb out of a bowl of soup. There isn't even a dent. If you think you are the whole thing, perhaps you are wholly mls- taken. 13

mhz Slcrnelplm High School ,Axxtl-pxdic The 1917 boys certainly show up well in athletics. We have two men on the ball team and are well rep- resented in the track team. When did Allen lose his dog? In French of course. The Juniors are so naughty and the Sophomores are so goody that Miss Hutchinson spends most of her time in the back of the room. Will some kind soul please furnish some device to help Arthur stand right in Latin? Milliard certainly takes to dead animals, doesn't he? , 1918 Gerrish was putting and example on the board in algebra when Miss Sh- said, Gerrish, step to one side, your head is so thick I can't see through it. Are teachers supposed to know how to spell exercise? Miss M-X-ll, lf you have trouble with your ears where should you go? Bright pupil, To er-er-er the den- tist. Wonder why Miss B. always looks forward to the Social Science period. Young, in Latin, Caesar crossed the river in a- ford. r lst Freshman, What does your uncle call the new motor boat? ' 2nd Freshman, Depends on how she's working. Unites There are two reasons why some people don't mind their own business. One is that they haven't any mind, the other that they l1aven't any busi- ness. Between seeing a chance and seiz- ing a chance, there's the same differ- ence as looking at the clock and get- ting up. Never stretch the truth, the recoil is apt to sting. You cannot save time collection cal- endars. Many a man has a promising fu- ture before him all his life. If defeat leaves you with a clearer conscience, it is -better than victory. Come in without knocking. Go out then the same Way. ' When .Iakie and Ikie were coming to America a great storm arose. The captain and all the crew did their worst, but the tempest was too much for the craft. Just then Jakiewoke up, and hearing the great commotion, poked Ikie and said: Oh, Ikie, Ikie, de schip is sankingf' Ikie: Aw, vat do I kare, it don't belong to me. Weary voice from doorway. My Dear Sir, I have no objection to your coming here and sitting up half the night with my daughter, nor to your standing on the doorstep for three hours saying. good night. But in con- sideration of the rest of the house- hold who wish to get to sleep, will you kindly take your elbow off the bell button? My Dear Sir, I don't mind your walking briskly all over my feet, but I wish you wouldn't loiter on them A countrymen on a. visit to a. city happened to see a sign, Cast Iron Sinks.
