September 1926. twenty Freshmen enrolled at Troy High School, the first class of Freshmen to enroll in the new school building. We were all very happy on this occasion, looking forward to the time when our four years would be ended, and we should reach the goal called Graduation . We were the smallest class ever to enter this school. We enrolled under the leadership of Miss Evans. Several quit, several new ones enrolled in our class during that year, leaving us with the same as we started, twenty members. When we came back as Sophomores, we enrolled under a new leader, Mr. Gillilan. We found that we had lost three members .who were Winifred Russell, Ethel Morgan, and Sinsel Wheaton. However, as three more enrolled in our class. John Runion. Lester Doan, and Madge Grewey. again we had twenty members. In. 1928 when we enrolled as Juniors, we found that we had again lost a member, Madge Grewey. and that one came to us. Grace Stout. We then called ourselves the Faithful Twenty . But during this year one member. Hazel Justice, found it more desirable to take up work, other than in school, thus leaving our number nineteen. We hoped all that year for another member but none came. But when we entered as Seniors, sure enough, one found it impossible to graduate last year .and so Dale Blair, entered our class. Our class through all four years has been well represented in all school activities: Basket-ball, debate. Prince of Peace Declamation Contest, orchestra, and county-field meets. Our class has been represented in basket-ball, two years by Ralph Cal-away. first team, and by George Gilbert and Joseph Chase, as substitutes: in debate three years by Clinton Burdette, Harold Calaway. and Hazel Place: in orchestra three years by Kenneth Dunfee, and Paul Kinnen: and in the Prince of Peace Declamation Contest, four years by Lester Murrey. Guy White, and Hazel Place, the latter taking second place for two years. The Senior class was very proud, when Lester Murrey took third place in the State Wool Judging Contest in his Junior year. This year twenty entered as Seniors under the guidance of another new leader. Mr. Ray. Although we were still the smallest class in the history of school, we were still more determined to strive just as hard to help to make our school the best. In our Freshman year we chose as our class motto, Work and Win . We set out then to do our best to accomplish the most, and to reach the desired goal of Graduation in four years as we had hoped. We have reached our goal as set forth years ago. trying to everbear in mind our motto. CLASS OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary .

First of all. to the Junior Class we leave the ability to get their lessons and to see them graduate in 1931. To the Sophomore Class we leave the task of setting a good example for the vounger students. To the Freshman Class we leave our best wishes for a happy future, and ability to overcome all obstacles in a dignified manner. We feel sure that Troy High of ’33 will need these.

Fills our hearts with sweetest of memories Of days we have spent at Troy Hi. The days are drawing nearer and nearer And commencement is not very far off. We think of the things we have accomplished. With the help of the teachers and all. Now as we leave Troy Hi School And start on our journey alone. We will never forget the good old days That were spent at Troy Hi. A SONG FOR GRADUATION Tho' our paths may be dividing Leading us apart. Still shall trust and full confiding Claim the friendly heart. Recollection still shall treasure Each familiar face. While the thought of by gone pleasure Bridges time and space. Although farewells are spoken. School days left behind. Memory's chain unbroken Keeps them safe in mind. School, we love, we say goodbye. We will keep your standard high. Our purpose firm and true Knowing we can serve While we repay the debt. We owe to you. Page twelve 19 THE THALIA 30 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY One afternoon as I lay under a tree wondering what had become of all my Senior Classmates of 1930, I spied a squirrel with a bag of nuts. There was someone with the squirrel. Oh! an elf. The elf had a hammer. They sat down and started to crack the nuts. A slip of paoer was pulled from each nut. The first was Jane Barnhart, our president. Some one said she would be an old maid, but that isn't right. She is the wife of a million dollar gas man. The second slip bore the name of Grace Stout. She still has that pretty smile. She is now a school teacher in Chicago, and has renewed an old acquaintance in the west. The third slip was that of Chessie Chapman. She is married, and has a fine group of children. She is happy as a lark. The next was that of Rosa Belle Dunfee. She has a position as a Stenographer. She has a large income, and in a few years she can sit and watch the world go round. She is not married: she has better sense. Hazel Place came next. You can't guess what fate has done for her! She is now surrounded by politicians, and is the first woman president of the United States. Here come the boys. The first is Dale Gibbs. Who would have thought it? He is a preacher in the best church in New York. My! He looks dignified. The next was Guy White. Guy is a scientific farmer, and has the most modern farm in the country. The next was Joseph Chase. He is a mechanic in the largest garage in Spring-field. and is doing good work. The next slip taken out was that of George Gilbert . He is carrying a 45 Colt watching for smugglers along the Canadian border. He plays the part of a hero. Clinton Burdette is a traveling salesman. He sells a complete line of dry goods and groceries. Well, here comes Ralph Calaway. He is a pugilist, and he is married. It is a good thing his wife doesn't fight, too. Here is Harold Callaway. He is an architect and has drawn the plans for several large buildings. He is now well off. Next is Lester Murrey. He is married, and is an aviator. He owns a large plane named Wren”. His wife insists on flying with him. so he has to take her along. And now comes John Runion. He owns a large bus line. John has renewed his faith in girls, and is to be married to the prettiest girl in Columbus. Here comes Dale Blair's slip. He is single, and is a big game hunter. He is now at the head of a large expedition in South Africa hunting elephants. The next is Kenneth Dunfee. He is a comedian in Hollywood. Kenneth is always popular. Well, well, here is Paul Kinnen. He is a broker on Wall Street, and has many million dollars. Clive Bailey is Henry Ford's assistant, and has control of all the factories. The other member of the class, Verlyn Travis, is one of the modern poets. We all knew that Verlyn had some hidden talent, and he showed the world what he could do when he tried. And now I must tell the fate of Miss Knecht, our class advisor. She has married an English teacher, and has quit teaching school. She is now the head of a happy family. Oh well, she deserves it. after being with this class for two years.

Page sixteen 19 THE THALIA 30 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 6, 1927 we, as the class of “31 , entered T. H. S. as Fresh-ies”. Our class was thirty-seven in number, and Mr. Gillilan was our leader. Of course as Freshmen wc received much beneficial advice from the more learned classes. When we returned in 1928 as Sophomores some of our members had found the path of learning too difficult to travel, and had forsaken us. leaving thirty-three in number. September 2, 1929 we came back as Juniors with thirty in number, three of our faithful number” having left us. Although we have not always studied as hard as we might have, we hope wc have succeeded to some extent in helping to build up the Troy High School, and the school spirit. Our class has been represented in basket-ball, as we had six excellent players on the girls' team and four players on the boys' team. We have been also represented in other activities, such as the Prince of Peace Contest, debate, track, school plays, operettas, and the school paper. President Vice President Secretary .

We entered dear old Troy High in September. 1928. green as every Freshman class is green, but we soon lost our verdant hue. Now. our Sophomore year is nearly, over, and we will soon be Juniors, we hope. During the oast year we have taken part in many activities. Early in the school year we had a class meeting and elected our officers, which are given below. We had a weiner roast on the Camp Ground last fall. Each Sophomore was permitted to invite a guest, and we had lots of fun. From our class Page Gordon was chosen as cheer leader for the high school to pep up the basketball games. The Sophomore class is well represented in the chorus and orchestra, and several of its members were in the operetta, The Feast of the Red Corn that was given by the school this spring. As the Sophomore class of ‘32 completes its work for this year, we hope that in the two years to come, we can be of still greater service to grand old Troy High School.

Some of our members left us, and at the beginning of the second semester our number was thirty-six, which we hope will continue through our high school life. Congressman T. A. Jenkins offered cash prizes to the 1929 eighth grade graduates of Athens county, who are now Freshman, for writing the best letters describing the Eighth Grade Commencement Exercises, which took place at Athens this fall. Three of our Freshmen won prizes, and they are the following: Mary Elizabeth Gillila n won first prize, which was three dollars; Roberta Humphrey won second prize, which was two dollars; and Blanche Lake won ninth prize, which was fifty cents. On September 26, 1929 we held a weiner roast on the Camp Ground. This was well attended, and we had a good time. We hope that at the beginning of next year we shall all be able to enroll as Sophomores, having successfully completed our work for this year. CLASS OFFICERS President Alva Harper Vice President .

GIRLS’ Page twenty-three 19 THE THALIA 30 TROY BOYS’ BASKETBALL SEASON 1929—1930 The Troy Boys' Basketball Squad had a very successful season during 1929-30. It played twenty-three games during the year, eighteen of which were won by the Troy boys. The team finished the season in a weakened condition due to sickness and injuries that greatly handicapped it in both the County Tournament at Athens, and the district tournament at Wellston. Two of the Troy boys. Leo Baker and Charles Smith, secured places on the all-county team. This was a rather remarkable honor for Leo. as he was just recovering from an attack of the flu. On the court the boys were fast and their shooting was spectacular. It was? a lovely sight to see them when they all “got to going. Two of the boys, Ralph Calaway and George Gilbert, wore the orange and black for the last time. They are graduating this year. The other boys. Leo. Charlie, Robert, Clifton, Cecil, Paul and Roger will have another year to play. Lee and Charlie won for themselves lasting fame as the Troy sharpshooters. There are few who will dispute that, having once seen them in action. Ralph, the old man,” was a good fighter, a clean player, and always in the game. He was not a high scorer, but he held his opponent to a low score and usually broke about even with him. The work of Clifton and Cecil as guards was excellent, when we consider that this was their first year on the team. Occasionally they would slip in for a basket, but usually they were on their men. Any opponent needed to go some, if he could score when those boys were watching him. Bob did not play in all the games, but when he got in he got busy at once, and his opponent soon found that his name was Baker, and needed to be watched. George was a faithful, hard worker. He could always be depended upon to do his best. George improved a great deal during the year, and usually held his man to a low score. Paul was fast on the floor and a determined chap in a game. He is promising material for next year. Roger was rather deliberate, but ready to go any time or anywhere. He played a nice game, and should have a place on the team next year. With four letter men available for next year, the prospects look bright for Txoy High. The following is a list of the games and scores: Newport 22 T roy 36 Belpre 16 T roy 24 Vincent 15 T roy 33 Hollister 21 T roy 30 Marietta B.

It began its playing season with only one regular from last year, but by hard wofk the raw recruits soon worked into a formidable squad that always gave their opponents plenty to worry about. All these girls should be on the team another year, and if nothing goes wrong they will make their opponents step down the road for county honors. The outstanding player of the team was our tall center. Ruth Green. Ruth played her position in a way to do credit to herself and team. Her shooting was spectacular at times, but win or lose, at home or away from home. Ruth led the fight. Helen Brandeberry. our star forward, was conspicuous for her speed on the floor, and her accuracy in shooting when under the basket. Any guard that had Helen to watch had plenty of business that needed immediate attention. Edith Cole and Roselyn Hollingswc-nh played the other forward position, and did well for beginners. They should show some real basketball form by next year. Ada Gillilan was a good fighter anywhere. Ada played any position on the court, and. win or lose, she always played the game. Myrtle Calaway played at side center. She developed into a fine guard. The girl who scored much when Myrtle was watching her would have to go some. Doris Crandall. Doris Brandeberry. Blanche Murrey, Rachel McDonald. Beulah Murphy and Grace Kelly were always anxious to get into the game. They were all fast, clean players, and no one doubted this after having once played against them.

THE ORANGE AND BLACK The Orange and Black. the offioal school paper of Troy High, has, for three years, been successfully published by students of the high school. The paper has been printed rcgu'arly every two weeks, during this school term, by the use of the mimeograph machine and the cooperation of the staff. The paper could not have been a success, however, without the sincere cooperation of the student body and the townspeople who backed it by giving their subscriptions. Although a subscription campaign was deemed inadvisable this year, one hundred papers have been regularly distributed at each publication. Two staffs have been responsible for The Orange and Black , each one serving a semester. Blanche Murrey was chosen by the Faculty Advisors as editor for the first semester. She was assisted by Grace Stout. Ada Gillilan. Ward Hornsby. Edith Cole, and Betty Yagala. The editor for the second semester was Ward Hornsby . His staff consisted of: William D:xon. Jedd Smith, Helen Barnhart. Martha Hitchcock. Leo Baker, and Lester Murrey. Bethel McDaniel. Joke Editor, and Clinton Burdette. Business Manager, served in these capacities for both terms. Too much credit can not be given to Lorena Ward, Helen Brandeberry, Clifton Ward, and Dale Blair for their work on the paper. Lorena Ward, a post-graduate, gave unstinting!)’ of her time in an effort to cut all the stencils on time: Helen Brandeberry and Clifton Ward mimeographed all editions, and their work was well done: Dale Blair, as ad collector, never failed to have a page of ads ready to print. Betty Yagala. with her assistants, has faithfully tried to see that all subscribers received each edition of the school paper. So. as we sum up the work of The Orange and Black for this year, may we say that the students of Troy High should be proud of their paper, and suggest that they work to make it better in the years to ccrne?

Its suggestions as to the best ways of house keeping are clean and sanitary, and its advice in the care and preparation of wholesome foods is to the point. They are such as may be used in all homes. The first semester we learned to can fruit and vegetables by the cold pack method. and we learned to make several kinds of butter and appetizing dishes. During the first semester we attended the Athens’ Messenger Cooking School, under the direction of Mrs. G. O. Thurns. The class served lunches for two days for the Farmers' Institute, and one day for the Fruit Growers' Meeting. We served noon lunch each day to the teachers and pupils. The girls are divided into groups for this purpose, each group serving on certain days. We also made several articles including, aprons, headbands, handkerchiefs, slips, potholders. pillowcases, curtains, pajamas, night gowns, cushion tops, covered coat hangers, spring dresses and painted articles. Our teacher had us make note books, and in these we put various pictures of evening, sport, house, and street dresses. We also had Dictures of shoes, sheets, curtains. pillowcases, and various kinds of laces. We keot a diary and expense sheet of the year, besides the things we had bought and the various recipes Miss Apger gave us. The class has painted cases for flowers. We have drawn pictures of everything we have made and pasted samples of the same in our note-books. We have drawn pictures of our bedrooms, the sewing room and kitchen, and these are kept in our notebooks. Home Economics is one of the most important classes we think, because it is essential that every girl should know how to cook and sew. Thus, the Home Economics' Course is verv beneficial, and all of us girls have enjoyed the work Miss Apger provided for us to do. and we feel that we have progressed rapidly.

Page thirty 19 THE THALIA 30 VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT The Vocational Agriculture Department started its third year with an enrollment of twenty-five students. The courses taught th:s year by Mr. Samuel Pailet. are Farm Crops and Horticulture to Freshmen and Sophomores. Soil Management and Farm Economics to Juniors and Seniors, and Farm Shop to Sophomores. Probably the most outstanding project work this past year was done by Billie Dixon. Guy White and Ward Hornsby. Fourteen boys this year will have potatoes as their project. Other projects taken by the boys are: corn, c'.over, strawberries, sheep, swine, poultry, and bees. An organization known as the Troy Vocational Cooperative” has been organized by the Future Farmer Members , to purchase materials for project work cooperatively. The Troy Chapter of Future Farmers was organized this past year. The aims of the organization briefly are: To create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations: to promote thrift: to nurture a love for country life: to encourage recreational and educational activities; to encourage cooperative effort: to study farm problems: and to improve farm practices through the application of scientific methods. A wool judging team consisting of Lester Murrey. Leo Baker. Ward Hornsby, and Paul Chase won second place in th? State at the Vocational Field Day held at Ohio State University. In individual scoring Lester Murrey won third. Billie Dixon won third premium at the Ohio State Fair on his Barred Rocks, which were shown from his project. Ward Hornsby and Earl Stout won second and ninth p-:z-s respectively in the Essay Contest on the Vocational Field Day held at the Washington County Experiment Farm. An Apple Judging Team consisting of Marquard Trav;s. Frank Chapman and Paul Chase won twenty-fifth place at Ohio State University during Farmers' Week. Seventy-five Vocational Agriculture Schools were entered in this contest. Page thirty-one 19 THE THALIA 30 MUSIC First Row—(Left to Right)-Blanche Lake. Clinton Burdette. Lorena Ward. Page Gordon.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Music in Troy High School this year has consisted of a Senior Orchestra, a Junior Orchestra, a Band, and a Chorus, all under the direction of Mr. F. A. Kennedy. The Senior orchestra is composed of about ten students, who have formerly had instruction in music. The Junior orchestra, larger by eight pupils than the Senior. has grade as well as high school students in it. The Band has shown promise of developing into a very good organization. In April, the girls in the Chorus took part in an operetta. The Feast of the Red Corn. the music for which was supervised by Mr. Thomas Gardner. Forty voices were used in this Indian musical comedy, and as this was the first operetta to be staged in Troy High for several years, it was judged quite a success. Music for the commencement activities will be furnished by the orchestras of the school. Page thirty-two 19 THE THALIA 30 SCHOOL ACTIVITIES •f f f AN APPRECIATION To the Troy Civic Association, which is composed of 25 business men of Coolville. who took the initiative in a movement to supplement the work of the Board of Education, the Troy High School wishes to express its sincere appreciation for the work which they have done for the betterment of the school. In July. 1926. when the new building was nearing completion, the funds of the Board of Education had become exhausted before many needed items could be purchased. At this time the Civic Association was organized to relieve this condition. The Board agreed to furnish the use of the school auditorium two nights each week for the purpose of putting on picture shows, the revenue derived to be used for the benefit of the school. Since December 1926, the Association members have given their time to this in order to boost the school, and have expended more than the sum of $5,200 for balcony, walks, lights, chairs, cistern, piano, lockers. Home Economics equipment, shrubbery, electric motor, water pump, and the grading of the grounds of the school property. To the Civic Association, then, goes the deep respect and sincere appreciation of every high school student, for aiding in the advancement of his opportunities for an education, and in helping to make Troy School one of the best in Athens County. NEW EQUIPMENT The State has granted to Troy School the amount of $2088.60 for new equipment. which is to be installed by the end of the present school year. When this is received Troy will have one of the best equipped schools in Athens County. The list of the new equipment follows: 30 serving trays. 24 folding tables. 3 Singer Sewing machines (one electric), cork carpet, 2 cupboards, 2 sewing tables, one cooking table for the Home Economics Department; 12 typewriters, 2 typewriter tables. 6 book-cases. $317.00 worth of books, (including supplementary readers for the Grade School). $200.00 worth of Science equipment. 24 tablet arm chairs, 36 classroom chairs. 2 teacher’s chairs. 1 steel letter file cabinet, and 2 steel storage cabinets. COMMENCEMENT ACTIVITIES The Senior Class of Troy High School is very fortunate in having the promise of Governor Myers Y. Cooper's presence at its Commencement exercise, which will be held on Thursday evening, May fifteenth, at eight o’clock in the high school auditorium. Governor Cooper will deliver the address of the evening, and other fitting features will appear on the program. Dr. E. B. Bryan. President of Ohio University, will deliver the Baccalaureate sermon. This, therefore, promises to be a worthwhile service. Page thirty-three 19 THE THALIA 30 TRACK HONORS OF 1930 Bill Westervelt, a graduate of 1929. took first place in pole vaulting in the County, the Southeastern and the State Class B Contests. Bill “went over” 1 1 feet, four and one-half inches. Milton O'Neil, a graduate of last year, tied for third place in the county on the high jump. 5 feet. 5 1-2 inches. The track team, composed of Paul Chase. Joseph Chase. Harold McBride and Don Green, took third place in the Athens Countv meet. Harold McBride took third place in the countv in the 440 dash. In a field meet at Marietta in which four schools. Belpre. Waterford. Marietta, and Troy took part. Troy easily took second place. Troy won first, second and third places in the pole vault—Bill Westervelt. Don Green, and Leo Baker. Don won the broad jump. Harold McBride won second place in the half mile, and the Troy Track Team easily took the mile relay. They placed second in the one-half mile relay. CARNIVAL AND HOBO PARTY A Hallowe'en Carnival and a Hobo Jitnev were staged by the Senior and Junior classes, respectively, this fall for the purpose of obtaining money to further the activities of each class. Manv “Hallowe'cners'' and hobos attended these functions, and pronounced them lots of fun”. “NORA, WAKE UP!” Nora. Wake up!” by Lillian Montimer was the play that the Seniors selected to present as their class play for this year on April 22. in the high school auditorium. If Nora. fChessie Chapman ), hadn’t got the idea into her head that her jolly, old-fashioned Irish mother. ( Grace Stoutj. was a person to be ashamed of. and that her high flving admirer. (Tester Murrevj. was far superior to Danny. (Kenneth. Dunfee ). the unoretenious suitor who reallv loves her. this lively domestic drama would never have happened. She practically bullies her mother into investing all the familv savings in oil stock sold her by the high-faluting admirer and his mother. (Hazel Place ), who are really trving to unload worthless securities. The loss of her mother’s monev and her own disillusionment over the tinsel admirer teach Nora to appreciate her lovable parent and the faithful Dannv as she has never done before. Eventually the punishment of her snobbery and follv is somewhat mitigated bv the recovery of tbp lost monev. Thesp characters are well supported by Johnnv, Nora’s brother home from college. ( Clinton Burdette ), a humorous tramo. ( Paul Kinnenj. and the stolid German-American girl. fJane Barnhart ). who lives next door. THE TIGERS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The Coolville Tigers under the able management of Clair Wilson and John Aiken had a verv successful season this year. The Tigers are basketball stars that during the time they were in high school played on the team for one or more years. Thev did honor to the school in much the same way that they are doing honor to their name- Page thirty'four 19 THE THALIA 30 sake, the Tiger, now. They played a fast game and no one that saw them play will deny it. The names of Tigers are as follows: Don Green. Paul Green. Gerald New-land. Carl Welling. Lloyd Friend. Bill Westervelt. Bill Griffin. Harry Booth, Paul Baker, and John Aiken. The games and scores are as follows: Phi Kappa Fraternity 11 Tigers 39 Chauncey Independent 16 Tigers 24 Amesville 35 Tigers 58 Stewart 12 Tigers 21 Marietta West Side 18 Tigers 30 Lodi Independent 26 Tigers 18 Athens Independent 18 Tigers 54 Syracuse 27 Tigers 23 Marshfield 29 Tigers 28 Viscose ............................ 4 Tigers 55 Athens Independent 16 Tigers 47 Total 244 Total 420 The Tigers played 12 games and lost three. Their total score was 420 to their opponents score of 244. They outscored their opponents 176 points. PRINCE OF PEACE DECLAMATION CONTEST As it is the custom each year to have The Prince of Peace Declamation Contest . which is sponsored by the Ohio Council of Churches, in an effort to bring about World Peace, there were about fifteen to enter from Troy High School. When it was time for the local contest, we were surprised to find that only four were left to take part. They were Margaret Ramsburg. Ola Murphy, Louise Watkins aand Hazel Place. The first three competed at Lawrence Chapel. Louise Watkins, taking first place, and receiving a bronze medal. At the Coolville M. E. Church there were four pupils who entered, but as only one took part. Hazel Place, she did not receive a medal. On December 9th the County Contest was held at Athens at the Presbyterian Church with eight competing for the honors, including Louise Watkins and Hazel Place. The medal for this district was awarded Pauline Wemmer of Jacksonville. POST GRADUATES At the beginning of this school year, there were five Post Graduates who came back to Troy High School to take up work other than what they could get in their four years’ work. They were Anna Francis James. Margaret McCance. Constance Walden. Lorena Ward and Jean Nestor, the last two still being with us. Page thirty-five 19 THE THALIA 30 Each of them had some aim in mind and took up work to fit them for that vocation. Most of the Post Graduates took second and third year Typewriting. Bookkeeping. and Shorthand. Some are taking Latin. Biology. Home Economics, Music, both chorus and orchestra. The school as a whole is glad to see such a large number of Post Graduates returning for another year's work. They must have enjoyed the four years of work in good old T. H. S. or they certainly would not have returned another year. ASK THEM AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY! ALUMNI OL TROY HIGH SCHOOL 1909 Beam. Floyd Dodd, Wilbur Root. Dudley 1913 Ahrendt. Emery Bradford.

A little patience—at least once. 2. A minute of unselfishness. 3. A kind word—or two, or three. 4. A bit of self-control—somewhere. 5. A flash of generosity. 6. A prompt excuse—for someone else. 7. A noble thought—perhaps a text recalled. 8. A good deed—not left undone. 9. A brief prayer—for a friend in trouble. 10. A moment of thankfulness—for blessings enjoyed. • 11. A kindly smile—where it may brighten another. 12. A catch song—or hum of a tune. A Night Hawk catches lots of chickens. The Stork is the bird with the longest bill. Ravens do not think, but thinkers often rave. A chicken is always on the wrong side of the road. A Crow never speaks without Caw. It’s a close race between the Stork and the Pelican to see who has the longest bill. Page thirty-eight 19 THE THALIA 30 SMILES A farmer, who had been stopping at a fashionable city hotel and who was paying his bill, looked up at the girl cashier, and asked what it was she had around her neck. “That’s a ribbon, of course.” she said. Why?” “Well.’' he replied, “ everything else is so high around here that I thought perhaps it was your garter.” Joseph— Your school is not a seminary, it’s a match factory.” Elsie— You are right: we furnish the heads and get the sticks from your school.” Mr. Pailet (in an engineering class)—“What’s a dry dock?” Clifford D.— A physician who won't give out prescriptions. Page failed in all five subjects he took. He telegraphed to his brother Argyl: “ Failed in five, Prepare papa. Argyl telegraphed back: Papa prepared; prepare yourself. “ And how do you get on with your wife? “I've a splendid working arrangement with her. In the morning she does what she wants, and in the afternoon I do what she wants.” Ruth Green— That’s a lovely dress you are wearing. May I ask how much it cost?” Ada G.—“Only three fits of hysterics, dear.” Miss Knecht— Who wrote the greatest war song in the world?” John Runion— Mendelssohn!” Miss Knecht— What was that?” John—“Here comes the bride.” Mulligan— Come on. John Runion. Let’s figure up what we made on this hand. John— I’m too tired. Let’s wait and look in the morning’s pap:r.” Bennett W.— What have I learned today?” ( As he was ready to leave.) Miss Knecht— What a curious question. Why do you ask it?” Bennett— Well, they will want to know at home. Miss Apger—“Isn’t it rather extravagant to eat butter and jam on your bread at the same time? Louise Watkins—“No. no. teacher, it’s economy. You see the same piece of bread does for both.” Page thirty-nine 19 THE THALIA 30 SMILES Mr. Ray—“Why did you break your engagement with that young school teacher?’' Guy White— I didn’t show up last night, and she told me to bring a written excuse signed by my mother.’’ Mr. Pailet— Do you believe in clubs for women?” Mr. Ray—“Yes, if kindness fails.” Lester Murrey—“Teacher, can anyone be punished for something he didn't do?” Miss Apger—“Why, no. of course not.” Lester—“Well, I haven't done my arithmetic.” Miss Knecht— So you don't know what letter comes next to H?” George Gilbert—“No'm.” Miss Knecht—“What have I on each side of my nose?” George—“Looks like powder, from here.” Kenneth—(lovingly)—“What would you do if I should kiss you? Thelma Bailey—(timidly)—“I I I don’t know. I never had to answer such a question before. Mr. Cole— In what battle did Gen. Wolfe, when hearing of victory cry. I die happy’?” Clinton—“I think it was his last battle.” Mr. Gordon promised Page twenty cents if he would be good the whole week. At the end of the week he asked Page if he had earned the money. Page (after thinking seriously for a moment)—“I'll tell you. dad. just give me a nickel.” Mr. Ray— Who is the smartest man living?” Charles Bentz—“Thomas A. Edison. He invented the phonograph and the radio so people would stay up all night and use his electric light globes.” Love nests generally hatch a lot of trouble. “The early bird catches—” he said as he mounted the stairs carrying his shoes. Although they can't fly. chickens are often called flappers. An owling success, because he always asks whose who. Not all coo-coos are in clocks. “I don’t see why you call your place a bungalow.” said Smith to his neighbor. “Well, if it isn’t a bungalow, what is it?” said the neighbor. “The job was a bungle and I still owe for it.” Page forty 19 THE THALIA 0 HJ KHJ HKHKHKHKHKKHKH3 -1 Thank uoul cr JHE STAFF, realizing that the advertising section makes an annual possible, wishes to express its appreciation to the firms and to the business men who have so graciously cooperated in the publication of this “Thalia.” Q HJ KHJCKHJ KHJ KHJCKHJCK KHJ HJ KHJ H3 HSH3V 30 Page forty-one 19 THE THALIA 30 The White Son Compa COOLVILLE —:— OHIO Standard Brands of Merchandise CLOTHING.
