THE VERSAILLES Page 25 rijnol ftJiuus SOPHOMORE RIDICULE Do You Remember? How glad you were when you returned to school in September, a full-fledged Sophomore, who didn’t come to seek knowledge, for aren’t the Sophs the instructors? Free at last from the taunts of the upper classmen! Free to get revenge by teasing the Freshies who took our places in the Study Hall! Gee, wasn’t it great to know you didn’t have to listen to the rejuvenation of Miss Kley’s stock of old jokes with just a light coat of veneer? How, under the guidance of Miss Swartz, we wandered o’er the bonnie braes of Scotland with Ellen and Rhoderick Dhu? Then again over the lessons which we had heard before from our Sunday School teachers? Wasn’t it jolly to visit Merrie England, and didn’t you enjoy the party at the Red House? How we spent our time at leisure in the Forest of Arden ? When they presented us with the cup for basketball? Gee, weren’t we proud? And the splendid showing of our boys and girls in athletics? When it looked as if the Juniors were sure to win? Didn’t we show the class spirit? The good time you had at the basketball games? Our V. H. S. Band? Your partner in assembly? The programs? And the plays? Hasn’t this been one grand and glorious year? Now, aren’t you glad you are a Sophomore? He Knew History Miss Kley—“Who was the greatest general in France?” Walter Lange—“General Foch.’’ Miss Kley—“Right. Now who was the greatest German general?” W. L.—“Hindenburg.” Miss Kley—“Very good. Who was the American general?” W. L. (thinking hard)—“General Motors.” Miss Swartz—“I want some good current literature.” Henry W.—“Here is a book on electric lighting.” An Explanation Paul Beare, a well known student of Versailles, was telling his sweetheart, Catherine Etter, how he had been attracted to her. “You were a lovely flower and I was a bee,” he explained to her. “I was a mouse and you were a piece of cheese.” And then he wondered why she arose and left the room. Hazel T.—“And you would really put yourself out for me?” Joe V.—“Indeed I would!’’ Hazel T.—“Do it please; I’m awfully sleepy.” Are Versailles girls vain? Listen to this: Conductor—“Your fare, please.” Mary M.—“Do you think so?”
