28 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL Prof. Patterson Is now working on a permanent wave for prosperity. Also hopes to get out for the next touring season a combination article that can be eaten as a hot dog or smoked as a cigar. Is trying to motorize nightmares. Is crossing some of Edison’s golden rod with the ladyslipper to grow overshoes. Has patented a self-expanding rubber derby for Chemistry students who suddenly develop swelled heads. Quite Unbelievable, Bob! Bob was boasting that his family traced its ancestry much farther back than the Conqueror. “I suppose,” sneered Cushman, “you’ll be telling us that your forefathers were in the Ark with Noah?” “Certainly not,” said Bob with a lift of his eyebrows. “My people had a boat of their own.” Mr. Patterson III: Well, do you understand the engine now, Arthur? Art. Booth: Perfectly. There’s only one thing I should like to ask: Do you put the water and the gasoline in the same hole? WE ARE FEATURING NEW PERFECTION OIL STOVES Famed for their dependability, economy and convenience. In addition to the above three outstanding qualities, new beauty in line and color have been added.

BLUE AND WHITE 2i Barrows: Here’s a snapshot of my girl at the beach. Sullivan: Snapshot? Boy, I'd call that an exposure. Father: How did you make out in Trig? Lee Fiske: I got a hundred in the . course. Father: That’s fine. Lee Fiske: Yes, I made 35 in the first, 25 in the second, and I got 40 in the third quiz. G. W. P. 3rd: (Rushing into the Home Ec Room) Quick give me something for my head. Bystander: Wouldn’t take it as a gift Marion Harrington in A. H. class: It was his father who really gave him his start in life. The lats time Mr. Barry was down south he saw a little negro boy sitting on the s dewalk, eating a huge watermelon and having quite a time, by his panting and grunting. Mr. Barry: What’s the matter little boy, too much watermelon? Negro boy: No. Sir! Not enough nigger. A negro cemetery is not necessarily a black berrying ground. Hardware Dealer: What kind of pruning shears do you want little boy? Robert Elliot: Oh any kind—just so I can open a can of prunes with them. Tasted Like Ham Miss Aiken entered her biology classroom. “Today,” she announced, “I intend to show you the inner workings of the frog.” As she unwrapped the package the students exclaimed: “Why, Miss Aiken, that is two ham sandwiches.” “Ah! how stupid of me,” said the perplexed Miss Aiken. “I could have sworn I ate my lunch a few moments ago.” Some Car, Eh, Ding? Dave Smith stopped his Buick at a gasoline filling station in Yergennes. “How far is it to Montpelier,” he inquired. “About 60 miles, sir.” replied the gas man. “All right, give me 10 gallons of gas and a quart of oil,” replied Dave. Soon Ed Nuttal drove up with his Durant and asked how far it was to Montpelier. “About 60 miles,” came the answer. “Well, give me 5 gallons of gas and 2 quarts of oil,” said Ed. Then came Ding Booth with his rusty old Ford. Ding got out and asked the same question, “60 miles,” answered the man with the hose. “Give me a buckket of water, a can of 3-in-one oil and hold this darn thing until I can get in.” replied Ding.
