THOMAS GARDNER HAROLD KINZIG I I I The Troy Grade School had an enrollment this year of 157 pupils. The pupils were distributed by grades as follows: First and second taught by Mrs. Laura Gunder, 48: third and fourth, taught by Miss Irene Davis, 39: fifth and sixth, taught by Miss Margaret Conklin, 37; and the seventh and eighth, taught by Mr. Ray Strickler, 33. The teachers wish to express their appreciation for the cooperation of the parents in promoting interest in school work among the pupils, and for the regularity in attendance. In music Mrs. McFarlan has instructed a class in piano, in addition to the regular vocal instruction. Under the supervision of the teachers, the grade pupils presented an interesting Christmas program, Wednesday evening, December 23. 1 9 3 2ir_- i i i i i i i i NINE TROY — (Left to Right) —G. P.

Troy Township Hoanl of lldiiratioii The students, the teachers, and the people of the community realize that in order to have good school we must have, first of all, reliable men on the Board of Education. Troy Township, therefore, has been fortunate to have on its Board of Education. men who are representative of the community, who have the best interests of the school and community at heart, and who work always for the attainment of these interests. We feel that we have good schools in Troy Township, and we take this opportunity to show our appreciation for these schools to the present and recent members of the Board of Education.

September, 1928. there enrolled at Troy High School, a group of happy girls and boys all eager and wililng to strive and work for that goal called “Graduation.” There were forty-two of us in number, and Mr. Gillilan was our leader. We were the largest class of Freshmen that had ever enrolled at Troy High School, but during the first year several left. Our class was represented in orchestra, chorus, basketball, the Prince of Peace Declamation Contests, and debating. When we came back the second year, as Sophomores, to our great disappointment we found that some had resolved to take up phases of work other than school. With one new member, Martha Hitchcock, twenty-three of us were left. The Sophomore Class was well represented in the chorus, orchestra, and several of its members were in the operetta, “The Feast of the Red Corn,” that was given by the school in the spring. This year we had another leader, Mr. Ray, and the class, with his help, progressed rapidly. In 1930 we came back as Juniors, with three more members missing from our class. We still had Mr. Ray for our leader. Our class was represented in orchestra, chorus, basketball, and the County Field and Oratorical Meet. Several members of our class participated in the operetta, “On Plymouth Rock, which was given by the Music Department at Thanksgiving. This year we came back to finish the task we set out to accomplish four years ago. and reach the goal we had so long hoped for—Graduation. Our class now had twenty-three members, with Mr. Ray still the school leader. Our class is represented in many activities. Several Senior boys decided to play basketball. Several members of our class participated in the play, “Cool Knights,” which was given by the school. The Music Department put on an operetta, ‘‘Toy Toy San,” in which our class was well represented. As this happy number leaves Troy High School, we hope with the help and training we have received here, each one will be capable of going on with his life work, no matter what occupation he chooses to follow. May we never forget the happy days spent at Troy High School! ( lass Officers President_____ Vice President Secretary ____ Treasurer Historian .... Class Advisors Class Colors .. Class Flower .

SEVENTEEN Senior Class IVophwy One day as I was walking through the woods I saw a queer little man with something on his back. Upon going closer I saw that it was a bundle. He saw me and motioned for me to come closer. I came up to him and he said not a word but began opening the bundle. In it was a large book and in this book were the names of all my classmates, and what they would be doing in 1942. On the first page there appeared the name of—but I had better put it in the words of the book. The first page was Page Gordon, our class president. He is broadcasting over the radio, station W. L. W.. Cincinnati, and is next to the world’s greatest violinist. The second page bore the name, Elsie Goodwin. She has graduated from the Ohio University, and is now a teacher of Latin. The third page was that of Frank Chapman. He is Purdue’s basketball star and he is a fine player. The next was that of Grace Jeffers. She is one of the modern poets, and her writings are being published in all the popular magazines. Clifford Dixon came next. He is still single, and is a big game hunter. He is now at the head of a large expedition in Africa hunting wild animals. Elizabeth Ballard was making a name for herself as a dancer, but now she has given up the stage and is raising a happy group of children. The next was Helen Barnhart. She is a great opera singer in New York, and is to be married to a handsome vacquero of Texas. Margaret Ramsburg is a stenographer at Columbus for Mr. Gardner and it is said they are to be married soon. Next I glanced at the name of Lennie Sharp. She is the piano player for the orchestra at Pittsburg, and she is receiving a fine salary- Maurice Smeeks. after many years of hard work shining shoes, has made a fortune and is happily married to Louise Ward. Ward Hornsby, although his heart was broken by the marriage of his former sweetheart, Virginia Webb, is now living happily with Madame Hammer, after he won her affections by defeating Walter McLaren in a battle with biscuits made by the Home-Ec. Department. Homer Friend’s greatest ambition was to be a pilot. He is now an aviator. Faye Barrows obtained a job in Davies studio at Parkersburg. -'Bill” says it is a fine place to have your picture taken. Ethel Blackburn is very happy as a farmer's wife. She is now living in Nebraska. Ejnerson Holter is a bull fighter in Mexico. I knew there was use for his quickness of foot and mind. William Dixon was on the next page. He obtained a job as an agriculture teacher at Chicago, and has become very successful in his work. The next was Orrin Bailey. He is now wearing a Tuxedo coat, as he is the Bishop of the United Brethren Churches. William Deeter is now the manager of a large hardware store in St. Louis, and is doing fine business. Ruth Basim came next. She is a Nurse at White Cross Hospital at Columbus. Ruth always has a pleasant smile for all the patients. John Sheets is a mechanic. He has a position in Beasley’s Garage at Athens, Ohio. Bennett Wildman is a large doughnut manufacturer in Chicago. It is said that the gangsters are using these as bullets for their guns. They work better than lead. Denver Day is a general in the army now. He has his wife. Wilma Cowdery, and children with him. Virgil Berdine is—but the rest of the page of the book was torn out, so we’ll-have to use our imaginations as to the fate of “Skinny.” 1932 T R O Y- Senior ri;iss Will We, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred thirty-two, with four years of hard work behind us, deem it necessary to make our last will and testament in the presence of our teachers and classmates, thus leaving the stepping stones marked for the students who follow, that we have found useful in our journey. To the Juniors we leave the right to succeed us and assume the responsibilities of the graduating class of nineteen hundred thirty-three. To the Sophomores we leave the customs that we have acquired, the ability to encounter the difficulties with a smile, and to set a good example for the succeeding class. To the Freshman Class we leave the opportunity of gaining the knowledge they will need in the future. The personal bequeaths are as follows: Page Gordon bequeaths his ability as a class leader to Homer Pullins. Elizabeth Ballard bequeaths her talkativeness and gossip to Elizabeth Bailey. Orrin Bailey bequeaths his dignity and business-like manner to Charles Bentz. Lennie Sharp bequeaths her ability as high school pianist to Thelma Bailey. Grace Jeffers bequeaths her practice of keeping late hours to Virginia Fortney. Elsie Goodwin bequeaths her practice of having her lessons to Robert Rams-burg. Homer Friend bequeaths his patent-leather hair to John Jeffers. Bennett Wildman bequeaths his quiet manner to Robert Dixon. Virgil Berdine bequeaths his ability to manipulate chemistry equipment to Doris Crandall. Faye Barrows bequeaths her laugh to Mary Lou Holdren. Denver Day bequeaths his prize fighting ability to James McLaren. William Deeter bequeaths his humor to Clarence Humphrey. Ethel Blackburn bequeaths her position as librarian to the Cowdrey Twins. Billie Dixon bequeaths his curly hair to Roy Brandeberry. Frank Chapman bequeaths his ability to play basketball to Harold Richards. Clifford Dixon bequeaths his ability to manipulate a gun to Maxwell Wheaton Ruth Basim bequeaths her blonde hair to Doris Brandeberry. Emerson Holter bequeaths his sheikishness to Aubra Bailey. John Sheets bequeaths his ability as a “Jack-of-all-trades around the school building to Erwin Cain. Ward Hornsby bequeaths his slim figure to Frank Jones. Margaret Ramsburg bequeaths her gayness to Madolyn Deeter. Helen Barnhart bequeaths her ability to sing to Elizabeth Hammer. Maurice Smeeks bequeaths his popularity and way with the women to Alva Harper. To the faculty we leave our sincere thanks and gratitude for the interest they have so kindly granted us, helping us over our difficulties of school life. Lastly, to our friends we give, for the many favors shown us as we have been travelling along the road of knowledge for the last four years, hearty thanks. Any remaining property we leave in charge of the Board of Education to use as they see fit. In witness whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal this fifteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred thirty-two. —The Senior Class of 1932 1932 To Troy Seniors % IN REMEMBRANCE— or READ ’EM AND WEEP Remember me and don’t forget The biggest clown you’ve had here yet.—Virgil.

I I I I TV ENTY-TWO 1932 Junior riass lli torv On September 2, 1929, thirty-nine of us entered Troy High School as Freshmen under the leadership of Mr. Ray. Out of our class many participated in different activities. The Jenkins’ Letter Contest was entered by three of our number, these students taking first, second and ninth prizes in the County. We were able to put some good players on both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams, and some of us tried out for track, taking part in the County Field Meet. We were also well represented in the orchestra and chorus. When we returned as Sophomores we found that our number had decreased to thirty-two, as some of our number had found the path of learning too difficult to travel. But we decided to ever bear in mind the motto we had chosen, “Make the good, better, and the better, best,” and continue to strive for that goal called “Graduation.” Again we were well represented in various school activities, and hoped that, we would be able to enter the next year as Juniors and be an honor to our grand old school. This year when we came back to T. H. S. as Juniors, we had lost more members, thus leaving our number twenty-nine, but during the year three left us, leaving twenty-six. Many more members participated in school activities this year than last year. The boys’ basketball team has three members from our class; namely, Robert Ramsburg, Alva Harper, and Gordon O’Neill. We also have six players on the girls’ team: Doris Crandall, Doris Brandeberry, Rachel McDonald. Grace Russell. and Virginia Crandall. Also a large delegation from our class is helping with the school paper, “The Orange and Black.” They are: Doris Brandeberry, Pauline Russell, Ruth McBride, Josephine Findling, Roberta Humphrey and Thelma Goodwin. Perhaps we have not always done our best and have sometimes made mistakes, but we hope to come back next year as Seniors and to do more for our school, so that when we reach our goal and embark upon life’s journey, our Alma Mater will remain very dear to us, and we shall have been an honor to her. riasN Officers President .........................................................

Everyone says we are green and dumb, but we think that is the way with all Freshies. When we came to Troy there were thirty-five of us. Later we lost two, then added one making thirty-four. Now if it won’t be too uninteresting we shall tell you some of the things we have done this year. At the first of the year we elected our officers. We had our wiener roast with the rest of the classes, October ninth on the Fair Ground. We had a very nice time and ate all we could. Several of our Freshmen took part in the operettas given at the high school this year. Most of our Freshmen are either taking vocal or instrumental music. Only one of the class, Mabel Calaway. is playing basketball this year. We hope she will make a good player for the Troy Team. We hope we can keep our thirty-four classmates, and add more to these as we go on through high school. All of the Freshmen wish to thank the teachers for their patience in trying to teach us something that would add to our intelligence. If they have failed in this, are they to blame? Not hardly!!

THIRTY == TROY - Trov IIovk llaskelhall IKn � nl l!K{|-l!K{2 •7 • Around Thanksgiving the call for basketball candidates was given. About twenty-five ambitious boys responded. The reporting of this many showed the interest of the boys in wanting to play. At the end of the first week the squad had to be cut, because of the shortness of the pre-season practice. This year’s squad looked as though Troy would have a real ball club. The first thing that was needed was experience. Most of the boys out this year, were out for the first time, as eight out of the first ten members of last year’s team graduated. The first few weeks were devoted to fundamentals, and things started to shape out fairly well. Game time came. The team went on the floor as an inexperienced team. In the first few games the boys showed this lack of experience and it seemed as though Troy would nave a good team by the middle of the season. The boys were trying to put the scores on the right side. After Christmas vacation the season got under way in full blast. Things seemed to brighten up. A real traditional battle was put up with Stewart. At last it looked as though Troy’s stride had been hit, but instead it seemed as though they were going back to their old form. Several games were within) their grasp which were let slip by. But on the whole—taking everything into consideration—the year’s ball playing was not as bad as the score book showed. New material, no experience and a few other things retarded the team. The “Spirit of Troy,” of fighting to the last whistle, showed up many times, and although the boys did not always win in scores, they won in sportsmanship. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Kinzig for his untiring efforts in trying to make Troy’s team a winning one. So, here’s to you. Coach Kinzig! May you and your team have better luck next year!

Penrose, had won one game out of the eleven league games played, at the time of the printing of this article. Troy s squad was composed of thirteen girls, most of whom were inexperienced, but who were anxious to get into the game. All of the girls played hard, and were anxious to make Troy victorious. All of the thirteen members of the squad will be in school next year, so Troy is looking forward to a strong, experienced girls’ team next season. Here’s to you. Coach Penrose and your team, for better luck next year! Troy’s squad was composed of seven Sophomores, five Juniors, and one Freshman. Mabel Calaway, Louise Ward, Virginia Fortney, Rachel McDonald, Dorothy Snyder, Virginia orandall, and Doris Brandeberry played the forward positions. Doris Crandall, Fern Medley, Doris Bond, Irma Russell, Grace Russell, and Liddie Wildman played the guard positions.

The Vocational Home Economics Department has been a part of the Troy curriculum for two years, being successfully developed by Lois Apger Bradford in 1930 from the regular course in Home Economics. Too much credit cannot be given Mrs. Bradford for her work in this department, and it was with regret that her resignation as instructor was received in November of this school year. The work in the Department has been carried on successfully by Olive Westfall, a graduate of Ohio State University. Vocational Home Economics has become a great branch in the field of education. It correlates the schoolroom work with every day home life problems. It attempts to train girls for high social standards of living, and to acquaint them with the practical phases of life. Thus the course of study of the department has been planned around everyday individual and family problems, striving to develop the right lamily attitudes and relationships, economy and business methods in personal and home management of income and accounts, and in appreciation of beauty in relation to personal appearance and the home. Special attention is given to personal problems which may be worked out a° a summer project, or during the school year. Any project relating to the following subjects may be chosen: clothing, foods, art, fancy work, child care, hygiene, or home management. From such a wide field each girl is able to select a subject with which she enjoys working. Eight girls are working in the first year, and twelve girls in the second year course during this school term.

Vocational Agriculture Department The Vocational Agriculture Department started its fifth year with an enrollment of twenty-four students. The courses taught this year are Farm Crops and Horticulture to Freshmen, and Soil and Farm Management to Juniors and Seniors. Besides the instruction to regular high school students a course in poultry production is being given adult farmers this year. Fifteen poultry raisers are taking this course. Since its inception in 1917 Vocational Agriculture has risen steadily in the field of education until today it is looked upon by farm leaders as the salvation of agriculture. Supervised practice in the form of projects is being carried by all boys on their home farms. The most successful projects last year were carried by Oville Bibbee, Frank Chapman, Ward Hornsby, Lester Doan, and Orrin Bailey. The Troy Chapter of Future Farmers of America continued its program of work in cooperative purchasing. They also held a Parent and Son Banquet and staged another Pest Eradication Contest. The names of Vocational boys winning prizes at the Farmers’ Institute follow: Corn, Frank Chapman, first; Clifford Dixon, third; Potatoes, Amos Tilton, third; Apples, Gordon O’Neill, first. Vocational boys put on two demonstrations at Farmers’ Institute. Orrin Bailey gave a talk on his trip East. The Troy Chapter of F. F. A. received several honors when at the State Congress of F. F. A. William Dixon, a senior, received the Gold Key of a State Farmer. He was also elected Secretary of The Ohio Association of Future Farmers of America. “Billie,” as he is called most of the time, won fifth place in a newspaper article contest in which 300 boys participated. s 1 9 3 2.

In the events in which Troy took place they gave a very good account of themselves. The dashes and the jumps were our strongest departments. The pole vaulting was almost entirely Troy, while our share of the dashes were also grabbed off. Another meet was held with these schools and Troy showed much improvement. The boys who took part in these events were: Leo Baker. Charles Smith, Billie Dixon. Paul Chase, Alva Harper, John Sheets, Bob Ramsburg, James McLaren, Virgil Berdine, Ola Murphy. In the County Meet the boys dashed and jumped themselves to a high position in the county standing. Leo came through with the county record in Pole Vaulting. Troy had a large number of points at the end of the day. The crowning achievement of the year came on a bright May Saturday at the Southeastern District Meet. Coach Kinzig with four athletes, Leo Baker, Charles Smith, Paul Chase and Billie Dixon, journeyed to Athens, to the meet. All of the Troy entries survived the trial heats in the morning, giving Troy a good advantage. Through the great work and determination of these boys Troy waded through to third place. It was a great feat. Every event that Troy had an entry in Troy placed. Leo set the pace by his winning the broad jump, pole vault, and placing in the high jump. Charles by winning the 100 yd. dash reached one of his ambitions. Billie and Paul also contributed by placing in several events. These four boys also carried the brunt of the relay and brought it through for several points. This is the best that a Troy Track Team has ever done at the District Meet. The boys by virtue of their showing tried the State Meet, but by the miserable weather and school being out the boys were handicapped. No excuses though, as they were up there competing with the cream of the State. So after a successful Track Season and the greatest triumph of it being the District Meet, we ring down the curtain.

If a tax were placed on red and white complexions and wind shield wipers (powder puffs) the depression would be lifted and the whole world would rest on Mr. Ray’s shoulders! There! did you hear about that? Yes! Mr. Ray said in Social Science one morning he would take all our troubles on his shoulders. So between me, you and his wife, he will soon be a hunch back and in U. S. Congress. Say! did you hear about Miss Knecht? Oh! that dear English teacher! she worked so hard with us, and now she lies beneath the sweet peas in Westminster Abbey. And do you remember Mr. Gardner? Yes! I know he “kinna” had a way with the women, and now he is married to the best looking old maid in Athens County. And let’s see—there’s Sam Pallet—he was our agriculture teacher. But, kid, did you hear Sam’s fate? His agriculture work failed, and now Sam is digging ditches for his living—Gee! I feel sorry for Sammy! Oh! kids, and there’s our old pal, Mr. Kinzig. He was short and fat, but we all adored him. And boys he used to be your basketball coach. Oh! I remember seeing in the paper where Mr. Kinzig has risen to the plane of being Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives. I’ll bet Mr. Ray talked him into that. I remember seeing Mr. Ray and Mr. Kinzig whispering in the Study Hall, but we never did hear what they were talking about—and now we know. And there’s Miss Westfall—Let’s see—Oh! yes, she was the instructor in the kitchen—Gee, kids, wasn’t she nice? Let’s see—who was here before Miss West-fall? You know, I “kinna” liked Miss Apger, but wasn’t she foolish by getting married? Who was the girls’ basketball coach? It was Mr. Penrose. Oh! can’t you remember how he scolded us for eating celery and eggs in chemistry. Yes, I remember now, he really was good to us kids, though. Gee, he was good hearted —I haven’t forgotten when he made me put my chewing gum in the waste basket. Let me think—who was our class president? My land—I remember now—it was Page Gordon. Page was a real class model—We all liked Page from the time we met him—I don’t know why—but he had a way that we all admired. I’ll bet Page has made a real success in this old world, even if he is still single and enjoying life. We must have had a vice president of the class that year,—who was it? I remember what he looked like, but what was his name? He was tall, had dark hair and eyes, and was rather dark complexioned. I have it—it was Maurice Smeeks,—don’t you remember? Who was the editor of our annual of 1932? Why it was Grace Jeffers! And the assistant editor? Let me think. Oh! it was Frank Chapman. Let’s see—who was the tall, dark complexioned and skinny boy? Now I remember. It was Virgil Berdine. Don’t you remember we used to call him “Skinny” all the time? And there’s Bill Deeter. He was always a good natured kid and “kinna” had a way' about him that we all liked. Let me think who it was that I used to chum with in school. One of the girls was short and had dark hair, the other was tall and had dark hair. Now I have it. It was Lennie Sharp and Faye Barrows—I wonder what this old world has done for them? And there’s Ruth Basim; she was another of the girls that came from Torch Hill. Gee, I about forgot Ethel Blackburn and Elsie Goodwin. They were our pal librarians back in the days when we had to make book reports. My lands! there’s Elizabeth Ballard, how could I miss her? Her tongue was always wagging. I’ll bet her name is “Talking Lizzie” by this time. And gracious me, there’s Margaret Ramsburg! We all liked Margaret, and she always had her lessons, too. Let’s see, there was a slow, easy-going boy in our class, and who in the world was he? I recognize him as Bennett Wildman. My! oh! my! and there was Denver Day. He was just “goofy” over that Crandall girl. I wonder if they ever got married? -- 19 3 2 -“- FORTY.ONE = T ROY Snakes and copperheads, there’s Emerson Holter. I had about forgotten about him. Let’s see—I believe he was the shiek of our class. I about left out Clifford Dixon. He was the boy that always thought about hunting. I saw in the paper the other day where Clifford was down in Africa training all kinds of wild animals. Gee whiz, I about had forgotten Ward Hornsby. No, no, not yet! School day memories linger still. Let me think—who was cheer leader for the basketball teams the year we graduated? I remember now; it was Billie Dixon. And there was John Sheets. He was always a good old sport. Johnny was always a good basketball player. I recognize the name Friend but what was his first name? Now I have it—it was Homer. Here’s to the last but not least for his head was chucked full of great big words that we never could understand. I’ll bet if Orrin Bailey could have lived when Webster wrote the dictionary it would be three times as big as it is. As for the writer of this you all know her well. She appears in person as Helen Barnhart. Now, don’t go away, and don’t be mad, but pick up your annual and read the jolly works of 1932. Here’s to the Freshmen—Oh! how green, Here’s to the Sophomores—Oh! how mean. Here’s to the Juniors—large and small, Here’s to the Seniors of ’32—best of all! Trojnn Smiles GETTING OUT AN ANNUAL If we print jokes, folks say we’re silly, If we don’t, they say we’re too serious, If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety; If we publish things from other papers, we are too lazy to write. Like as not. some person will say we took this from another page. And so we did. Mr. Ray—What course do you expect to graduate in? Elizabeth B.—Course of time. Miss Knecht—Walter, can you give Lincoln’s Gettysburg address? Walter McLaren—Huh? I didn’t think they numbered houses in those days. Mr. Ray, who speaks 17 languages, has married a woman who speaks 12. That should be about the right handicap. Doris C.—Sir, how dare you kiss me? Denver D.—Well, it was rather dark and I didn’t get a good look at you. Virgil—Dearest, I must marry you. Elizabeth B.—Have you seen father? Virgil—Yes, but I still love you. Prof. Penrose’s Wife—Why Arthur, you’ve got your shoes on the wrong feet. Prof. Penrose—Why, Lucy, they’re the only feet I’ve got. Some People are WISE; others must remain OTHERWISE. Page Gordon—Would you lend me a cake of soap? Miss Westfall—Do you mean to tell me you want a cake of soap? Page G.—Yes-m. Mr. Ray has the hiccups and I want to scare him. “Virgil,” asked the teacher, “What was it Sir Walter Raleigh said when he placed his cloak on the muddy road for the beautiful queen to walk over?” Virgil, the ultra-modern, gazed about the classroom in dismay, and then taking a long chance, replied, “Step on it, kid!” Doris Crandall—I’m worried about my complexion, doctor. Look at my face! Doctor Westervelt—You’ll have to diet. Doris C.—I never thought of that. What color would suit me best, do you think? FORTY-TWO 1932 Chinese patient on telephone—Doc. what time you fixee teeth for me? Doctor—Two-thirty, all right? Chinese Patient—Yes, tooth hurty. all right, but what time you want me come? Clifford D.—Do you love me? Lennie—No, that’s only high blood pressure. ‘‘Have you heard the latest?” A short time ago Virgil Berdine took his newly acquired lady love (we won’t mention names), to the hotel in Coolville for dinner. They seemed to be having a very enjoyable time, but Virgil discovered that his plate was nearly empty while hers was full. Realizing that he had not eaten anything, he looked up to remark about the disappearance of his food, and found that she was so cross-eyed she was eating off the wrong plate. Mrs. Penrose—Arthur, do you know that tomorrow is our twentieth wedding anniversary? Let’s kill our duck we intended to save for Christmas. Mr. Penrose—Why pick on it? It wasn’t its fault we were married. Frank—How did you get crippled up so badly? Page—You know that pretty young woman we thought was a widow? Frank—Yes. Page—Well, she isn’t. Penrose entered the lab. and spotted Page Gordon busily engaged in what appeared to be pouring water on himself, he approached nearer and asked, What seems to be the trouble, my boy?” “Well, you see, sir, I spilled wet salt water all over my pants, and as it is soluble in sulphuric acid—gosh, where are my pants?” Mr. Ray (pointing to cigarette stub on floor)—Ola, is that yours? Ola Murphy—Not at all, sir, you saw it first. Franklin Thompson—I fell off a 40 ft. ladder this morning. Ernest Travis—It’s a miracle you weren’t killed. Franklin—Oh, I only fell off the first rung. Homer F.—Do you know what the little mouse does? Emerson H.—Naw. Homer—Of course. Doctor—Did you follow my advice and drink hot water one hour before breakfast? Lucy Gibbs—I did my best but I couldn’t keep it up for more than ten minutes, Doctor. Mr. Penrose—Now, Robert, tell me which month has twenty-eight davs. Robert Dixon—They all have, teacher. Orrin Bailey—Does this parrot swear? Clifford D.—No. sir. But he’s a bright bird. Wouldn’t take him long to learn. Jimmie Me.—I wonder what we shall wear in heaven. Frank Jones—Well, if you are there most of us will wear a surprised look. Page—What are you going to run? The mile or two-mile? Billie D.—I don’t know. I’ll tell you at the end of the mile. Mrs. Bentz—Charles! Why is the milk so weak? Charles—Why the cows were caught in the rain. Mr. Ray—What did Paul Revere say at the end of his ride? Emmett F.—Whoa! Question on exam paper—How do you get down from an elephant? Answer—You don’t. Down grows on geese. Ruth McBride—Josephine, please button my dress. Josephine F.—You will have to do it yourself. I’m busy. Ruth—Oh dear! I don’t know what I’d do without myself. Mary Lou Holdren (on seeing some calves playing in a nearby lot said)—Oh, what pretty cowlets. Bill Deeter—Why yes, they are right pretty—but they ain’t cowlets—they are bullets. Mr. Kinzig—Emerson, can you tell me what a hypocrite is? Emerson H.—Yes, sir. It’s a boy that comes to school with a smile on his face. Bob Ramsburg—I wish to ask you a question concerning a tragedy. Mr. Penrose—Well? Bob—What is my chemistry grade?

Mr. Kinzig—Define moustache. Frank Jones—A moustache is a bang on the mouth. Bill Deeter—I asked her to kiss me without avail. Bennett W.—I don’t like kissing through those things either. Porter (knocking on the door)—It’s nine o’clock, sir! Mr. Pailet (angrily)—Why didn’t you tell me that before? Mrs. Hammer—Officer, could you see me across the street? Officer—Madam, I could see you three blocks away. Denver Day—Have you learned to love me yet, Doris? Doris C.—No, but don’t give up the lessons yet. t Mr. Kinzig—My ancestors came over in the Mayflower. Miss Knecht—It's lucky they did. The immigration laws are a little stricter now. Jimmie—How did you like Venice, Mr. Pailet? Mr. Pailet—I don’t know. I only stayed there over night. The whole place was flooded. Helen—Is it dangerous to drive with one hand? Ward—You bet. More than one fellow has run into a church doing it. Mrs. Ray (after the wedding)—Did I appear nervous during the ceremony. Olive? Miss Westfall—A little at first, dear, but not after Kenneth had said, “Yes.” Mr. Ray—Where were you born? Clifford (proudly)—In Texas. Mr. Ray—Were you raised there? Clifford—They tried it once, but the rope broke. Mr. Ray wrote on the back of Ward Hornsby’s monthly report, A good worker, but talks too much.” The father signed the report and then wrote under the remark of Mr. Ray: “You should meet his mother.” Near-sighted Old Lady — Look, there’s a dear old-fashioned girl. Her dress buttons all the way up the back. Her Daughter—Nonsense, mother, that’s her backbone. Orrin—Have I time to say goodbye to my wife? Conductor—I don’t know, sir, how long have you been married? Mr. Ray—I’ve bought my wife a machine of her own. He—Packard, Lincoln, Marmon or Buick? Mr. Ray—Maytag. Rastus was devouring an apple, which he seemed to enjoy to his highest satisfaction. Sambo—“Say dere, boy, you’d better look out for worms in dat dar apple.” Rastus—“Lissen heah, buddy, when ah eats apples de worms have to look out for themselves.” Two miners who had been brought up in the same village, but had long since drifted apart, met the other day. “Hello, Tom! Let’s have a drink,” said one. “No, Jack,” replied the other, who had recently come under the influence of a revival mission, “I have been born again.” “What!” exclaimed Jack, looking down at the other’s legs. “Born again, and still bow-legged?” In Boston they tell of a street boy of diminutive stature who was trying to sell some very young kittens to passers-by. One day he accosted a distinguished Episcopal divine, recommending them as good Episcopal kittens. The clergyman laughed and refused. A few days later a Presbyterian minister, who had witnessed this episode, was asked by the same boy to buy the same kittens. This time the lad announced that they were faithful Presbyterians. “Didn’t you say last week that they were Episcopal kittens?” demanded the minister. “Yes, sir,” said the boy, “but they’ve had their eyes opened since then.” -------- - ■ 19 3 2- FORTY'FOUft Advertisers A A«fI A A«|| 1 11 11 11 1 Ai i 1 1 t t r T r i ifr ifli rflt tfr T | iji 1 1ifli rflt tflr iJi rj- -fl- r T-� — —-J- -fl- -J- - ii:i:ii Mixing and grinding service We are prepared to grind your grain, mix your feed to your Ijl X own formula or help you with a formula to suit your individual $ need.
