So now the mystery is explained To those who had a doubt, Concerning all the hair girls have And what makes it stand out. Beneath this great expanse of puff Construct one simple knot, And over this a net with which 'Most any gent is caught. You know it takes a Senior girl To tell you what is what. --VV. H. S. Flapper. O O - O TEACHING TOMMY TRUTHFULNIZSS Tactful teacher teaches tenaciously, tenderly, technically. Troublesome Tommy Trout tells tales that try teacher terribly. Teacher treats Tommy tenderly, telling truthfully two things, that Tommy thwarts teaching totally tantalizing too terrificallyto tend toward teach- er's tendering termsg that tempestuous Tommy terrorized teacher throughout three terms, telling tales that tended to to take troublesome Tommy to that terrible threshhold, theo- logical teachers talk, thereby thwarting totally the theosophic thereapeutics taught. Tommy talks terribly, too terribly to tell. Teacher thrashes, thrashes tremendu- ously thirteen times, then talks tenderly to Tommy. Tommy talks tauntingly to teacher. Teacher then turns Tommyls toes to the table, thrashes thrice thirteen times, thirty-nine times throughoutg then talks, talks tenderly to Tommyg Tommy talks tenderly, too, this time through tears. Telling teacher that this, the teacher's tendency to thrashing tests thoroughly. Teacher's technical treatments taught Tommy truthfulness. Tommy to this time tells tales truthfully. Teach truthfullness, tenderly, tenaciously, tactfully, teach- ers: 'twill tell.

His pap owned a big red cttymobeel and gorge learnt to run it only hed it too fast all the time and then hed halfto git the nigger to lye fer him to his pap, and one day when his pap wuz in a big state convenshun trying to git to be a dellygate to the nashunal convenshun to nominate Mr. king Gorge, fer whom gorge wuz named as prezdunt of ingland, gorge took the cttomobeel out and got his best girl in and jist played thunder. Georges mammy wuz Mary Waishiiigtoim, who afterwards got to be gorge's wife's mother-in-law, after which gorge never played another game of ball, but gotto be a army man. A big war then broke out between the merykins and hriddish and gorge wuz the hed guy on the merykin sideg he rote the declarashun of independance and sed as how the merykins wuz agoin to do just as they durn pleezed and that wuz all there wus about it, and then he sed as how hed shoot the furst Briddish man at crost his path. which he did at the battle of bunco hill when he cilled Gen. Vvarrant with a long sord who afterwords yelled, don't give up the ship, boys. After the war with the briddish, gorge, who was opposed to the Wilsoil lege of nashuns and hated kizer Xvillyum wussen pizon, got to be the first republican prezdunt. O O O Someone had made the statement in English Class that satisfaction was the synonym of happiness. Sharon, who always argues if there is the least kind of a show, asked for the privilege of speaking f????j and said: ul don't believe that satisfaction is happi- ness. For instance, if Bob Wfillson and l were to have a fight and if l should knock him down, he'd be satisfied that l was the best man but he would not be very happy about it.', O 0 O BRIGHT SAYINGS or OUR Aww LANG SWE Wheii Martin Schmeiser was in fourth grade, the English Class, of which he was a a member, was given a list of words to use in sentences. Among them was the word Hcleliciousn. l-le asked the teacher what the word meant and she said it meant good. He produced the following sentence: ul am a delicious boy. Audrey Thompson had just learned to spell her name. It was so deeply impressed on her mind that when the teacher asked her to spell cow, she said: A-u-d-r-e-y- cow! Whelr Miriam Shipman was just a little tad the Shipman family were talking seri- ously of going to Wyoming. One day when she was at Sunday School, the teacher asked: Do you want to go to heaven, Miriam? Miriam thought half a minute. then answered: Oh, yes! l want to go to heaven, but l want to go to Wyoming, first.
