Little Willie Green had just been to his first football game and had been impressed very much by the cheering. Now he was saying his prayer — God bless mama, God bless papa God bless Willie, Boom ! Rah Rah ! ! Question — Why is Red Potter like a donkey. Answer — Because he looks like one. To the banks of the darkling river Where the fitful fireflies quiver And the tall, thin aspens shiver Came a man and a maid in a flivver. L. L. C. The young man led for a heart The maid for a diamond played The old man came in with a club And the sexton used a spade. Nothing can be lasting when the reason does not rule. If you cannot make a big sale make a small one and be glad of the chance. When Omar smote his bloomin ' lyre, He ' d heard men sing by land and sea, And what he thought he might require He went and took the same as me. When a man has not a good reason for doing a thing, he has one good reason for letting it alone. POOR, FRAIL LITTLE GIRL She could swing a six-pound dumb bell, She could fence and she could box; She could row upon the river, She could clamber ' mong the rocks; She could golf from morn till evening And play tennis all day long; But she couldn ' t help her mother ' Cause she wasn ' t very strong. Teacher — Good morning Clarke. Are you at the Lake now? Clarke (politely) — Yes mam; we ' re at the Lake. Drop in some time when you ' re going by. (Who was the teacher?) Lawry, said the teacher, give me a sentence containing ' notwithstanding. ' And Lawry answered, The man ' s trous- ers were worn out but notwithstanding.

CLASS NOTES w. «- 1922 With apologies to Kipling and Mother Goose Juniors and Seniors went to class To sing of arms and slaughter. The Seniors fell down, Mr. Clement frowned, And the Juniors came tumbling after. Elo se B. Crocker is a merry old soul And a merry old sould is she, She calls her Trig, class, all covered with mould Which after all labor brings only an E Onward Commercial students Onward to your doom With Miss Marshall ' s banner To cheer you to your tomb. Seniors and Juniors, some great and some small Se.iiors and Juniors know nothing at all Miss O ' Keefe sighs, and sighs yet again But the Seniors and Juniors sigh only Amen. Alone, alone, all, all alone In a great wide sea of girls And now another man took pity On Mr. Gibbons in basket ball twirls. Hickory, dickory, dock. The typewriters go like a clock Miss Jones calls Stop. And the stupid ones flop. Hickory, dickory dock. Hey diddle, diddle, our French is a riddle. Do cows jump over the moon? Our Freshies laugh, they have good sport And Miss Campbell goes into a swoon. Sing a song of shorthand a page without a note Four and twenty dumbells who hope some day to vote When the class was opened, Miss Aucoin began to scream, Isn ' t this a brilliant class to set before the queen?

Yes, replied Blanche. And now who followed Mary? All was silent for a moment, then — Her lamb, answered Blanche calmly. Where were you yesterday, Charles Tessier? asked Miss Crocker. Please, mum, I had a toothache. Has it stopped aching? I don ' t know, replied Charlie. What do you mean, boy, you don ' t know if your toothh has stopped aching? No, mum, the dentist kept it. If I cut a beefsteak in two, asked Miss Crocker, and then cut the halves in two what do I get? Quarters returned Tessier. Good. And then again? Eighths. Correct. Again? Sixteenths Exactly. And what then? Thirty-seconds. And once more? Hash ! cried Tessier. 1924 Mr. Clement — Are there any English de- rivatives from the noun pater? R. Allard— Er— Pat.
