. ' ' , .jim Miss DennyM When was the revival of learning? A. B. --Before the final exams. Teachers faults are many, Students have but two, Everything they say And everything they do. Definition of school spirit: That which, when taken into the body tends to result in queer actions, such as hoarse shouting, in an intranslatable language, excessive waving of arms and legs, and extemporaneous flights. Prof.- Alfred you may get up and talk on your feet. Tommy- Don't you think that's a big subject to talk on? Twinkle, Twinkle, Basketball Star, What a man I know you are. I dream of you and the by and by, For you're the Diamond of my eye. -Billy. Jack- Got your bookkeeping, Metta? Metta- Yes, but I'm oil' my balance. Miss Loughridge- Mr, Morrison, have you proved the XIIIth proposition? Floyd Morrison- I think proved is too strong a word, but I have rendered it highly probable. Different ways of asking the teacher to repeat the question: Pardon me, I didn't understand you. -Freshman. Will you please repeat the question? -Sophomore, How's that? -Junior. Huh? -Senior. I'm afraid it won't fit, said Metta, as she tried on the ring. That's funny, answered Jay. I never had any trouble before. ' - i 'x Here Walter! cried Mr. Nelson, you mustn't behave that way. Everybody will be calling you a little glutton. Do you know what that is? I suppose, answered Stubby, it's a big glutton's little boy. Jay- Hey, policeman, I've just missed my wife. If she should come along will you ask her to wait here for me? Policeman- But how am I to know her? Jay- Ah, to be sure, I had not thought of that! Well, tell her not to wait. Little Johnnie- Oh, mamma, see the lion in our back yard. Why, Johnnie, you know there isn't a lion outside. You go right upstairs and ask God to forgive you for telling a lie. Then Johnnie's mother looked out the window, and to her surprise saw a large dog, resembling a lion very closely. Presently Johnnie came downstairs. Did you do as I told you? Yes-didn't make much difference, tho. God said he had to look twice to tell the difference himself, SENIOR GIRLS' TABLE AT DINNER TIME Gee, I'm glad they've got something good to eat today. Yes, fried onions and pumpkin pie all on the same day. It's too good to be true. Oh, girls, do you know what? Chorus of Oh, what is it, Billy? There's another scandal in school. Another chorus of Who, where, when did it happen? ' Oh just the other night. Oh look there, at that Shorthornf' All turn around eagerly-then giggle. Look at that red handkerchief tied around his leg. What is this school coming to? There comes old Wilcox. He makes more noise than a dozen people need to make.

- s.,ul.,..l wi, .. Yes, I should say so. lf we'd make as much noise as that we'd be invited to leave by Ma Vining. Yes, I should say so. It makes me ti-erd. That old Faculty thinks they ---- --W-A- For goodness sakes, what next. Here comes some more red handkerchiefsf' The Shorthorns are some progressive bunch. Why, that one I was talking to yesterday was telling how his roommate got excited and went home about a week before the course was over, and got married. Gee, couldn't he wait that long? I'd at least wait till I got out of school. Here too-no marrying in mine. I'm going to teach for yearse-and then I won't marry unless he can support me. Yes, no living at home with either father- or mother-in-law. And I think I want a diamond to. Well, I guess yes-and no microscopic one either- I want a good one. Oh you just wait. When the time comes you won't care whether it's a diamond or not. Chorus of Oh yes, I will, etc. You just wait, I'm telling you what I know. Lets see, Ruby-how many diamonds have you sent back? Oh don't ask me-I couldn't tell you. Lots of giggling, wiping of tears, shaking of shoulders, etc. Oh I don't care if I have a diamond or not, just so I have a nice blond and a cattle ranch in Boone County. Shoot, if I can't have a diamond I can have a basketball captain, that's all I care. Well, I guess I can put up with the captain of Co. F. - Well, my lean, lank man is good enough for me, even if he is grouchy, He's got an Overland-that's more than any of you will have. Goodness, I wonder if those boys' ears are burning. If they aren't they ought to be. More giggling. Oh girls, look at Mother Vining. She'll eat us if we don't move quick. Yes sir. It's nearly time for the crowd to come in' Say, we ought to write this up and put it in S1-IUCKs.'. Well, if you do, don't mention any names, 'cause it would be a dead give-away. Last night, my wife in fresh air frenzy Threw open the window and in-flu-enzy. Mr. Beach- Young man, are you a Christian? Don- No sir, I'm a student. FROM GEOMETRY EXAM. PAPER Two triangles are congruent when they can be placed so the lines of one collide with the lines of the other. An equation is when you have a board fixed so that it is the same at each end, so it teetersf' . NOT THAT KIND After suffering a long time with the toothache, Dorothea got up courage to go to the dentist. The moment he touched the tooth she began to scream. Look here, said the dentist, 'you mustn't yell like that. Don't you know I'm a 'painless dentist'? Maybe you are, sobbed Dorothea, but I'm not painless. Little Julia is forever asking questions. You had better keep still or something will happen to you, her mother said once. Curiosity once killed a cat, you know? This made a deep impression, and Julia was quiet for several minutes. Then- Mother, what was it the cat wanted to know? PAST TENSE PREFERABLE Hump- When I die, I want you to have this sentence placed on my monument: 'There is peace and quiet in heaven.' Don- I think it would be more appropriate to say: 'There was peace and quiet in heaven!
