Everything was new to us. but we soon got used to things and began to make our presence known in a number of ways. Some of our members played basketball. Some of us were also in the operetta. As sophomores we were again well represented in school activities. Several of our members were becoming valuable assets to the basketball teams. Some of us won honors in the scholastic tests given in Athens. As juniors we continued to take part in school activities and awaited anxiously the time when we would be seniors. So this year we are the senior class of Troy High. We have taken the place of those who have graduated before us. Our basketball teams have shown up especially well this year. We are especially proud of our boys' team, for all five of the first team. Dale Cole. Kenneth Crislip. Loris McKinney. Murl Jackson, and Russell Shanks, arc members of our class. They won all league games and also took the county tournament at Athens. This is the first time that a Troy team has won the tournament for so long, why shouldn’t we be proud of them? With the junior class, we have published “The Trojan.” our school book, which is published every two years. The staff has worked hard to make this book the best Trojan yet published. In order to help publish The Trojan, several activities were undertiken. The Troy Festival was held under the supervision of the senior class. The class sold Christmas cards and wax paper to supply the treasury with necessary funds. Several members of the class, in order to take a trip to Washington. D. C.. in April, undertook several extra enterprises to help finance their trip. As a fitting close to the school year the class presented the class play “Spring Fever.” in which twelve members took part. Through these four years we have worked and played together, and have learned many things which we hope will be a benefit and an inspiration to us through our journey of life. Although some of us have accomplished more than others, we appreciate each other's efforts, however small they may have been.

The interest of the community has been keen and their cooperation very fine. At an early Parent Teachers' Community Club Meeting it was voted to start a school grounds' beautification program. To this end—and with much labor on the part of several of the patrons—five trees and a number of shrubs and bulbs have been set out. Our caretaker, Mr. Barrows, has been most faithful in keeping us warm, shoveling paths, and being generally helpful. At Thanksgiving, the school gave a little play entitled, In Old Colony Days,” together with music and drills. At Christmas, we furnished part of the P. T. C. C. program offering some carols and a short play, “The Shepherds' Story.” In January we had the privilege of listening to an interesting talk by Miss Clara Seiler, Kohlapur, India missionary and seeing a collection of brasses and saris. From the sale of magazines and seeds a little fund was provided to furnish a warm dish or drink two days a week during the cold weather as a supplement to the children’s lunch. 4 33- page TWENTY-ONE 4 'f - THE 1940 TROJAN HOCKINGPORT GRADES HOCKINGPORT GRADES 1 TO 4 FIRST ROW (left to right)—Raymond Shields.

Approximately 25 parents and friends gathered for the entertainment in the afternoon. On Friday evening. December 22. the school, in junction with the church, presented a program at the Methodist Church, in Hockingport. The Hockingport School opened the school year with an attendance of 50. During the term Jean and Jeanette Baylous. and Violet Caplinger withdrew from the lower grades. Junior and Charles Whited. Charles McCune. Earnest Stanton, and Richard Boyce entered, making the total enrollment 52. At the beginning of the term the school was confronted with the problem of having two large American flags, but no flag pole. So the boys got busy. Equipped with scout axes and a saw, they went to the woods. They cut their tree, and trimmed it, but alas! they couldn't bring it with them. However, one day during class period. Mr. Efaw. and Mr. Bunner. with the aid of a team of horses, quietly placed the pole on the school ground. It was then a matter of only a short time until a flag was seen waving atop a tall pole by the Hockingport school building. ★ After an extended study of early colonial life, the fourth grade built a log cabin with thatched roof, which looks very comfortable and really quite inhabitable. A reading chart with a record of each child’s outside reading was kept in the upper grades. The record was in the form of two or three sentence reports. At the end of the term. Kenneth Sanders was considered the champion reader, having the greatest number of book reports. ♦ During the year the first grade people have made and taken home two writing booklets. The first one consisted of manuscript writing, and the second one of script. The lower grades also completed a large poster, illustrating the dress and customs of Children of Other Lands. Small people almost surpass adults at times in finding methods of helping each other in the learning process. For example, they produce sounds, find syllables, or little words, in large words. But. right or wrong, one tot at Hockingport has her own original idea of helping. To illustrate: her classmate was worrying over the word race. So. in her attempt to help, the tot left her chair in the reading circle, went to the blackboard, picked up an eraser and asked. What do we do with this? Donna Sanders and Austin Hall have been on the honor roll continuously during the year.

PAGE TWENTY FIVE 4 - THE 1940 TROJAN 4 TROV GRADE NEWS The first and second grade pupils at Troy had an enrollment of fifty pupils at the end of the first semester. There has been good attendance. The following pupils have not been absent nor tardy for the first semester: Wanda Crawford, John Humphrey, Jr., Donald Russell, Margaret Kennedy, Ronald Chapman, Mary Lois Dixon, George English. Billy Yeater. The first and second grade pupils have cooperated with the other grades in programs for Farmers' Institute and Christmas. The third and fourth grades of the Coolville School began their second school year under the supervision of Miss Roberta Humphrey with an enrollment of 20 in the third grade and 16 in the fourth grade. During the school year three pupils have found it necessary to attend other schools, while one new pupil has entered. Six pupils, Jack Baker. Clyde Riggleman, Russell Cole, Henry Barringer, Betty Sue Weekley, and Robert Reed were absent the day the annual picture was taken. Activities in our room this year have included an exhibit at Farmers’ Institute, consisting of Dutch posters, and Thanksgiving seat-work made by the children. At the present time third grade interest is centered on an Indian project in which the children are learning Indian songs, and making drums and peace-pipes, and planning to make an Indian village. Pupils from both grades took part in the Farmers' Institute and Christmas programs. We are very proud of Bacil Hornsby, a third grade pupil, who plays the accordion for the various entertainments. The total enrollment in the fifth and sixth grades during this year has been fifty-three. There has been an Honor Roll of A and B students at the end of each six-week’s grade period. As in previous years, the boys and girls of the group took part in the presentation of a Christmas program. A violin, piano, or tonette lesson is given each week to seven boys and eight girls. Vocal music is taught twice each week by our music instructor, Mrs. Cliffton. As usual the seventh and eighth grades devoted nearly all of their time to the regular school work. The departmental work was divided among the teachers as follows: Miss Conklin, science and geography: Mrs. Cliffton, music: Mr. Baker, physical education: Mr. Strickler, English, arithmetic, and history. The grades, assisted by the high school and directed by Mrs. Cliffton, presented a Christmas play, “The Spirit of Christmas.’’ Mr. Baker organized a boys' junior high basketball team which was quite successful in play. It had the added advantage of making regular school attendance more palatable to some of our boys. A new activity in music was the organization of a tonette band. Practice on these instruments will help pupils later to take up regular wind instruments in the orchestra. ’4 - -4 PAGE TWENTY SIX THE 1940 TROJAN !► TRO AN STAFF Ray Fairchild Junior Editor Naomi Archer Junior Historian Kenneth Crislip Boys’ Athletics Alma Chapman Senior Snapshot Editor Everett Webb Senior Sales Manager Betty Shanks Girls' Athletics Russell Shanks Senior Prophecy Charlene Bingman Senior Editor James Rogers Senior Horoscope Marguerite Clark Junior Sales Manager Robert Kelly Boys’ Athletics Frances Malone Junior Snapshot Editor Leland Daugherty Senior Historian Edith Martin Junior Will Dale Cole Senior Business Manager Virgene Kincade Joke Editor Glenn Swisher Jun;or Business Manager Velma Church Girls' Athletics Murl Jackson Senior Will Hazel Varner Junior Prophecy William Anderson Junior Horoscope -4 PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT -4 THE 1940 TROJAN 4 ►- GIRLS' BASKETBALL FIRST ROW (left to right)—Melba Morrison.

Russ Shanks was welcomed to fill one of the guard positions, and Jackson, a very dependable reserve from the preceding season, played guard to complete the first string five. This smooth working quintet presented a combination of power unequaled in the county. The team played easily through their ten league games to win the Athens County League undefeated. To further emphasize their prowess they accomplished what no Troy team has done by defeating Buchtel, J-T, and Ames-Bern to be crowned The Athens County Tournament Champions. This aggregation was one of the most powerful teams to have ever donned the Orange and Black for Troy. When required of them, they used a very effective slow breaking offense, and yet, at a moment’s notice they could display one of the fastest breaking outfits this county has ever seen. -4 -4 PAGE THIRTY THE 1940 TROJAN v. - Coach Baker built his team around Cole, the center. Cole's towering size and ability to drive untiringly made him a dangerous threat, both offensively and defensively. Supplementing and complementing Cole's work in the pivot were the forwards, Crislip and McKinney. In Crislip, Troy had a natural sparker to the team. His uncanny ability to find or make an opening under the basket kept him one of Troy's scoring aces. To McKinney goes the credit for being one of the most accurate shots and smoothest ball handlers on the club. The stabilizing factor in basket ball is defense. The guard positions were held down by two very able boys. Shanks and Jackson. These boys kept their opponents in the lower scoring brackets throughout the season, and the same time proved themselves very effective as feeders to the forwards and pivot man. Frequently both boys broke into the scoring column. Ralph Lake, a Junior, substituted regularly during the season when necessary, and showed himself a more than adequate source of reserve power. No article about the 1939-40 season would be complete without a mention of Troy’s Reserve Squad. The group was composed of Green. Douglas, Kelley. Hall. Wines. Marshall. Kincade. Swisher, Bond. Sinnett. and Croy. During the season the reserve team played several preliminary games in which they demonstrated themselves to be worthy of being a contributing part of the season's triumphs. As a final climax to the basketball season a banquet was held in honor of the team under the leadership of Mr. Newsom. Clyde Parrish, and Hall Chapman. As a gift from the faculty gold basketballs were presented to the following members of the team: Cole. McKinney, Crislip, Jackson, Shanks, Green, and Lake.

The 1939 team, being composed of practically the same players as that of ’38, gave an accountable record of themselves. The team played three games this season, winning two and losing one. The games played were with Belpre and Tuppers Plains, beating Belpre twice and losing to Tuppers Plains. 4 - PAGE THIRTY-TWO •- THE 1940 TROJAN SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB FIRST ROW (left to right)—Leland Daugherty, Russell Shanks.

The members try to analyze and classify social and political history, and actually take an active part in parliamentary procedures. Thus, it is hoped that the members will naturally attempt to defend and improve our government and society, as they become conscious of the benefits they derive from it. LATIN CLUB This is the first year that we have organized a Latin Club at Troy High. The name selected for the group is TROJANI. or Trojans. T he club is composed of all students in school who are now taking Latin, or who have completed the courses in the language. The club officers who were selected at the beginning of the year, arc as follows: President. Ray Fairchild: Vice President. Kenneth Crislip: Secretary-Treasurer. Edith Martin: Reporter. Russell Hall: Program Committee. Robert Croy: Everett Webb. Gertrude Foster: Adviser. Miss Knccht. The Club Colors are the traditional Roman colors, purple and gold, and the motto is “Nunc aut numquam. Now or Never.

THE 1940 TROJAN 4 VOCATIONAL HOME ECONOMICS The number of Vocational Home Economics Departments in the state has increased considerably the last two years. The increase brought with it an expansion of the entire program. The one year school programs were raised to the two year level, the two year programs to the three year level, and in the larger schools a complete four year course is now being offered. As a result of these basic changes we are now offering a three year program. The general objectives of the Home Economics Course are: to help girls solve persistent problems in all areas of personal, home and family life; to provide experience which will encourage self-activity, resourcefulness, independent action and thinking: to recognize the necessity for an ever expanding sense of values as they relate to the home and family; and to place emphasis on those experiences which provide for the continuous reconstruction and recreation of values. Our present course is built around the home and family problems of school children in the attempt to help these girls to fit into their present home and economic life. F. H. A. The advantages of organized home economics clubs in promoting growth are well recognized. Through clubs many opportunities may be provided for members to contribute to joint activities in which they cooperate; to use and develop individual talents and abilities; to acquire a variety of interests: to realize the importance of improvement in home and family life; and to become interested in and participate in community life. Our motto is Not at the top but climbing.” Our official colors are white and gold. There are four degrees of work. The first one is the Little Women degree, which is designed so that any home economics student who desires membership may easily attain the necessary qualifications. The second degree is the Fireside Circle. The third degree is The Future Homemakers of Troy High School, and the last degree is the state degree, Future Homemakers of Ohio. This is the first year we have had girls qualify for the state degree. Jeannette Hayes was our first member to qualify, and the club voted to present our first candidate with the emblem of this degree, which is a silver chain and pendant bearing the emblem of the club. Wilma Gillilan and Hazel Varner have since qualified for the state degree. - -4 TAGE THIRTY-FIVE -«8f } - THE 1940 TROJAN 4 FIRS I ROW (left to right—Maywood Blake. Cecil Richardson. Earl Brotherton.

The purposes of the organization are: to develop competent rural and agricultural leadership: to strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work: to create more interest in his choice of farming: to create a love of country life: to improve the rural home: to encourage the efforts of cooperation on the part of the student; to promote thrift: to promote and improve scholarship: to encourage organized recreation; and to advance the course of vocational agriculture. Our chapter holds two meetings a month. One meeting is held at night at which refreshments are served. All the officers represented the chapter in the Parliamentary Procedure Contest held at iMcArthur and received third place. We have been represented at Columbus in the State Judging Contests the last two years by Glenn Cubbison. Roscoe Burdette. John Butcher. Carson Boggs. Wetzel Bond. Charles Green, and Glenn Swisher. Last August. 26 boys with Mr. Newsom and the Chapter s School bus took a week's trip to the World’s Fair at New York and to Washington. D. C. We crossed the states of West Virginia. Pennsylvania, Maryland. New Jersey. New York. Delaware. Virginia, and District of Columbia. Among the many sights we saw were the Walker Gordon Dairy Farm at Plains-bourough. New Jersey; The Empire State Building, and many other famous buildings in New York City. We traveled twice through the Holland Tunnel which goes under the Hudson River. We took a fifty mile boat trip around New York City and through the various rivers and bays. We saw such sights as the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn and Queensborough Bridges, the Giants and Yankee Baseball Stadiums: and the New York Harbor in which were ships from all nations of the world. Before leaving New York we journeyed to Coney Island and had a swim in the Atlantic Ocean. At Washington we saw the Capitol buildings, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. The highlight in Washington was visiting the Senate Chamber while the Senate was in session. We journeyed to Alexandria. Virginia, and visited Washington’s Home at Mount Vernon. The average amount of money spent by each boy was five dollars, but some spent only three. In all. 1315 miles were traveled. One of the high spots of the school year is the Parent and Son-Daughter banquet held in April. The F. F. A. and F. H. A. Chapters sponsor the banquet jointly and the parents arc invited. This year our F. F. A. basketball team won the county championship. In all we won 6 games and lost 2. The scores are as follows: Troy 6-------------- New Marshfield 14 Troy 40 ..........

The Girls' Glee Club, numbering forty members, has presented a varied selection of songs at school assemblies, the spring concert, and the Baccalaureate services. New and interesting music has been performed by the Boys’ Glee Club at intervals throughout the school year. The club will sing a group of appropriate songs for the Commencement program. The combined glee clubs entertained with Christmas carols at the annual school Christmas program. The orchestra, although small in number, developed into a smooth playing ensemble this year. Appreciation of their efforts was expressed by requests of outside organizations for their services. One of the most popular of the special vocal groups was the male quartet, consisting of Bob Kelley. John Butcher.. Walker Norman and Russell Hall. In addition to school programs these boys sang for the Athens County Teachers Association and the Masonic Father and Son Banquet. Honored, also, by being asked to sing for the Athens County Teachers Association was the double quartet, comprised of Edith Martin. Frances Malone. Marjorie Reed. Frances Blake. Bob Kelley. Ralph Lake. Walker Norman and Russell Hall. Other selected vocal groups have participated in school programs. Small instrumental ensembles have been encouraged this year. Popular in the community have been the violin and clarinet duets played by Frances Malone and Marjorie Reed. The brass quartet made up of Glenn Swisher. Stanley Galbreath. James Rogers, and Weston Potter was greeted with approval at the spring concert. A music department paity with a variety of entertainment and refreshments was held on April 15. An unusual feature of this year’s musical activity was the spring concert given on March 29. 1940 in the high school auditorium.

THE BOY SCOUTS Boy Scouts of Troop No. 76 of Coolville was organized on February 28, 1938 under the auspices of the Coolville Masonic Lodge No. 337 F. A. M. An average enrollment of twelve boys have been affiliated in the Troop for the past two years. Three boys have advanced to Life Scout, four, to First Class, four to Second Class, and one to Tenderfoot, since the Troop was organized. TRACK 39-40 The ’39 team, although finishing only third in the county track meet, gave a good account of itself, breaking the record in the 440 yd. run. Green, in breaking the record in the 440. a record that has stood for nine years, lowered the old record 1.5 seconds. This record is likely to stand for many years to come. While Green was outstanding, every man on the team placed in the event he entered: Cole, in the shot put and discus: Kayser. in the 880 yd. run: Kennedy, in the high jump, broad jump, and 100 yd. dash: the 880 relay team, consisting of Kennedy. Kayser, Cole, and Green: Blue, in the pole vault: and Green, in the 220 yd. dash. In the district track meet six men qualified for the state track meet. In the state track meet Troy was represented by Green and Kennedy. Although they did not collect any points, these boys gave a fine showing. The 1940 team, composed of Cole. Kayser. Shanks. Green, and Crislip. (losing only Kennedy and Blue from last year's team), should have one of the best track teams in the county. As Cole is back for the shot put. Kayser for the 880, Shanks for the discus. Green for the 440. Crislip for the pole vault, these should make one of the finest aggregations ever to wear the orange and black. There are others, too. who will see to it that Troy will not fall behind on the cinders.

Y. A. boys started with axes and saws. They cut down the trees in front of the buildings. Next (they began grading, and since that time they have moved between 40.000 and 50.000 yards of dirt. The school yard has been graded down and grass seed has been sown. New walks have been laid in front, through the center, and on the east side. No longer is there any excuse for muddy feet. ' Fifth Street has been bricked and opened up through to Rock Street. Retaining walls have been built. A new basketball and tennis court has been erected. A four-foot cyclone fence is to be placed around the tennis court. A two-story garage and shop. 34 x 60. was built last year. We are proud to own now one of the best training shops in the county. Water has been pumped in and several new power tools have been installed. The school board can insure “safety first” for the students, as five new steel bodied International buses were bought last year and two more are to be purchased the coming year. A cafeteria has been added, under the supervision of four women, who cook warm lunches each noon. Some of the students pay for their own meals by helping to serve the others: some are provided their lunch by doing small tasks in the school, and those who can afford to buy their own. pay a fee of fifteen cents a week. An average of 180 arc fed each day. and the students really appreciate a warm lunch. After three unsuccessful wells have been drilled and one dug. we have finally succeeded in having one drilled on the athletic field which we think will furnish our water supply. At the present time this well is producing about eight gallons a minute. New blinds have been purchased from the Dupont company and hung on the west side of the building. A moving picture machine, which so far has been a success, has been installed under the direction of Mr. Calcntine and Mr. Benjamin. The gym is usually filled and good shows arc seen. Bank night has been started which will probably help the attendance. So altogether Troy has received many improvements since the last publication of this book. WHO’S WHO AT TROY?

Whereupon Mrs. Kincade sat down and dashed off the following note: Dear Mr. Penrose: Jean’s legs are 14 inches long, the snow was 18 inches deep. Very truly yours: Mrs. Kin-cade. Jean: Why have you no speedometer on your car? John K.: I don’t need any. At thirty miles an hour the lamps clatter: at forty miles the wings rattle; at fifty, the whole car shakes: and if I go faster than that, my teeth chatter. Marguerite Clark: What is this stuff that I've just picked? Roscoe: Wow! that’s poison ivy. Marguerite: Don’t get excited. I’m not going to eat it. Dr. Gunder said he had Elbert Midkiff. an accomplished motorist but very absent minded, in the dentist chair. Will you take gas? asked Doctor Gunder. Yeah, replied Elbert, and you’d better look at the oil. too. Hazel Varner; Why don’t they have insane asylums in Arabia? Elma W.: Because there are Nomad people there, you sap. George M.: Did your watch stop when it dropped on the floor? Walter G.: Sure: did you think it would go through? Edith Martin: Do you think I can ever do anything with my voice? Mrs. Clifton: It ought to come in handy in case of fire. Tramp: Is dis all yer can gimme—a glass of cold water? Dorothy B.: Of course not. you can have as many glasses as you want. Betty Clark: How many shirts can you get out of a yard? Virginia Deetcr: That depends on whose yard you go into. Jack Parrish: There’s something wrong with this cake. It doesn’t taste right. Mrs. Parrish: That’s just your magina-tion. It says right here in the cook book that it's delicious. Mr. Barnett: Milford, which travels faster. heat or cold? Milford: Heat. Barnett: Why? Milford: Because you can catch a cold. Miss Knecht walked into a railroad ticket office in Chicago and asked for a ticket to New York. Do you wish to go by Buffalo? asked the ticket agent. Certainly not! replied Miss Knccht. By train, if you please. A sign was seen in Chapman's store window which read: Wonderful bargains in shirts for men with 16 or 17 necks. Wilma G; Why do you call that “Runaway Cake?’’ Ruth S.: Because I put in three eggs and beat it. Hazel Swartz (at a street crossing) : Officer. could you see me across the street? Officer (inclined to flattery) : Why. ma’am. I could see you a mile off. Mr. Deeter: When I was a boy I thought nothing of chopping wood. Murray: I don't think much of the idea myself. Dad. Miss Knecht: Walker, paraphrase this sentence: He was bent on seeing her. Walker: The sight of her doubled him up. Mrs. Hall: Russell, what arc you doing in the pantry? Russell: Oh. just putting a few things away. Mr. Baker: Now children. I hope you will have a nice holiday, and come back with a little sense in your heads. Pete D.: The same to you. Mr. Baker. Mr. Penrose: What do you know about music ? Mrs. Clifton: I’ve been singing in the Metropolitan for 20 years. Mr. Penrose: Then you must have known Madam Butterfly when she was only a caterpillar. Virginia Bailey asked Frances Malone the other day if she were musically inclined. ’’Am I?” replied Frances. ’Why at the age of two. I used to play on the linoleum.’’ Mr. Barnett: Can anyone give me an example of indirect tax? John Kayser: The Dog Tax. Mr. Barnett: Why is that an indirect tax ? John Kayser; Because the dog doesn’t pay it. Sometimes advertising overreaches itself, as in the case of Clyde Parrish, who put a sign in his window reading: Fine Apples, BUY NOW. Remember!

Alma: How much arc they a string? Mrs. Morrison to Melba, who was canning fruit one summer morning: Melba, mark the letters T. P. on the cans which contain peaches and you may also mark the others the same. Melba: If I mark the same on all the cans how arc we going to tell the peaches from the rest? Mrs. Morrison: That's easy. One means Tis Peaches’ and the other means ‘Taint Peaches.’ Mrs. Chute: Edna, can’t you hurry and finish those dishes? Edna: Yes. Mother, but Rome wasn’t built in a day. Mrs. Chute: Maybe not. but I wasn't the foreman on that job. Hazel L.: Pardon me, for walking on your feet. Mar jorie B.: Oh. don’t mention it. I often walk on them myself. Dale Reed: Where do our daughters get their intelligence? Mrs. Reed: From you: I still have mine. Dr. Dean was giving his congregation a heated sermon on drinking. He ended his sermon saying: “If I had every drop of liquor in the U. S. I’d dump it in the river.” Then he called for the music teacher, Mrs. Clifton, who made the following request: “The congregation will please stand while we sing ‘Shall We Gather at the River?’ Murl Jackson: I have a new name for Alma. I.eland D.: What? Murl D.: Hinges, because she is something to adore. Figures can’t lie. said Mr. Penrose earnestly. For instance if one man can build a house in 1 2 days. 1 2 men can build it in one. Yes. interrupted Glen Swisher, then 288 will build it in one hour. 17280 in one minute, and 1.036.800 in one second. I don’t believe that they could. Glen continued: If one ship can cross the Atlantic in six days, six ships can cross it in one day. I don’t believe that either, so where's the truth to arithmetic? Mrs. Kincade: Ronnie, what is this 60 doing on your report card? Ronnie: Oh. that must have been the temperature of the room. Mr. Gardner: How much time did you put on this shorthand. Betty? Betty Shanks: Oh. about half an hour, railroad time. Mr. Gardner: What do you mean by railroad time? Betty: Including all stops and delays. Russ. Shanks: What makes you think Doris is a photographer’s daughter? Loris McKinney: Because her system is to sit in a dark room and await developments. I want to ask for your daughter's hand, said Bill Wines to Dale Reed. All right, boy. Go to it. Take the hand that is always in my pocket. Jeanette H.: I hear you deceived your boy-friend. Doris: No. he deceived me. He said he was going out of town and he didn’t. Jack White: Will you walk with me to the corner? Ronnie: No. sir. because mother said we’d eat as soon as you left. Eleanor H.: Do you always pick your hubby’s clothes? Faye: No. just his pockets. Mr. Rogers: No, you musn’t smoke. Men who smoke too much get tobacco heart, and those that drink loo much coffee get coffee heart. Jim: If I eat a lot of sweet things, will I get a sweetheart? Kenneth Crislip: So. Newsom is a reckless driver? Webb.: Say. when the road turns the same way as he does, it's just a coincidence. Helen Travis: Translate this Latin sen- tence. Haec in Gallia est importantus.
