Page 22 THE VERSAILLES combines with which to give off what?” Mr. Williams, the Freshman English teacher, requested the class to hand in an essay. Mr. Williams was presented the next day with a paper like this: “GOATS” A goat is about half as big as a sheep, if the sheep is big enough. A female goat is called a buttress, a little goat is called a goatee. A goat will eat up more than any animal that ain’t a goat. My father is an awful good man. Everything he says is so, even if it ain’t so. This is all 1 know about goats. Margery Bennett. Honest To the Minute Here’s a story about a Scotchman that’s different. A conductor on a London street car noticed an elderly Scotchman and a young Scottish lad. The old man was holding a watch in his hand and studying it with intense interest. Suddenly he seemed satisfied, and looked up. Seeing the conductor, he beckoned to him. “What is it?” asked the conductor. “I want to pay the rest of my grandson’s fare,” replied the Highlander. “He has just become twelve years old.” The conductor has since recovered. John B. Wilson—“Pa, you remember you promised me Five Dollars if I passed in school this year?” “Yes, John.” “Well, Pa, you ain’t gonna have that expense.” Mr. Williams is noted for his speed. Example—One morning he was in such a hurry that he slammed his wife and kissed the door goodbye. Freshmen are students of few words, but they surely keep those words busy! “Dad, what is influence?” asked Henry Apple. “Influence, my son, is something you think you have until you try to use it.” Bob B.—“I notice you got up and gave that lady your seat in the street car the other day.” Francis Smith—“Since childhood I have respected a woman with a strap in her hand.” George R.—“1 can truthfully say that you are not two-faced. ’ Loretta G. — “How do you know?” George R.—“I am sure that you would wear the other one if you were.”
