EDITORIAL STAFF. The world is old, yet likes to laugh New jokes are hard to find; A whole editorial staff Can’t tickle every mind, So if you meet some ancient joke Decked out in modern guise, Don’t frown and call the thing a croak. Just laugh — don’t get too wise. STAFF JOKES. Lillie II. — “Oh, isn ' t that a joke. I’m going to put it in the year book.” Frank Iv., Circulating Editor and Junior Reporter — “When you hear a report of an irresistable force meet- ing an immovable object you will know that I am doing things.” Fred S., Amateur Photographer-Cartoonist — It is re- ported that one of the Salt Lake capers is after Fre L What will the S. S. H. S. book do. Myrtle W.. Editor-in-chief — “Well, I don’t care — 1 believe in originality.” Marv R., Ass’t. f iitor — Swallowed her tag. Luella, Freshie Reporter — Wrote enough for the hook herself; Wonder what part was omitted? Chas. — “I spent my time writing jokes until I flunk- ed in Algebra, but I nearly got thru in English. Wray — You ' re the first girl I ever kissed. Nona. — You’ve come to the wrong place then, I r not running a preparatory school.

As a traveler for an Eastern business house, he may be said to have made a trip of some brilliancy from the view of mere travelling, as shown by his expense account; but as a salesman he added nothing to his honorable profes- sion. Some business houses are very stern and strict, and Mr. Drake came very nearly losing his trust in human nature when the firm replied to his last demands for funds with a scarcely polite letter.
