a| p W ' - --?? p : ■:v ;j p l g With The Jokesters Nitt — Say, where are you going all dressed up? Witt — I ' m going to the fair. Nitt — Fair! There isn ' t any fair today. Witt — Sure, the paper says fair today and tomorrow. We wonder if Scotchmen have filled their pens at Post Offices enough to equal the ink we have used on them. One Father — Does your son believe in the hereafter? A ditto — I should say so, I jus t asked him how his money was holding out, and he said, That ' s what I ' m hereafter. ' Guide: We are now passing the site of a former Aztec palace, which is now in ruins. Tourist: (to fellow passenger) : When did they move it? WHAT IS MODERN? A famous novelist has searched the world thoroughly for the modern girl with no suc- HEARD IN HISTORY Student — And after his flight the country became air-minded. Teacher — I think it must have affected this class, you are so light-headed. The three fold plan of the British depend- ed on Burgoyne, St. Leger and Howe. Minister: (meeting a little boy smoking) : My dear boy, do you know where little boys who smoke go? Boy: Yessir, down behind the woodshed. There is a man that never does a thing that is not right. His wife knows just where he is at morning, noon, and night. HE ' S DEAD Wise — Say! Are you kind to dumb animals? Cracked— Sure ! Why? Wise — Then give the monkey back his face. She: I ' m so tired after pushing a pencil around all day. He: Huh! That ' s nothing, I ' ve been pushing my brains around all day. She: You can ' t be very tired then. Fish: Say, wait a minute, I ' ve changed my mind. Soup : Well, I hope its better than your other We wonder what the garage men would spill their oil on if there were no fenders ! ! Just because you can kid gloves and ' = ' :ring beans, don ' t think you can fool a toothache. Husband: Did you ever see a seven dollar bill? Wife: A seven dollar bill? Husband : Yes, a seven dollar bill. Wife, Why, no, never saw a seven dollar bill. Husband : Well, look at this one I got from the Electric company. Waiter: Are you the fellows who are com- plaining about the food? Ralph : Yes, what are you going to make of it? Waiter: Well, we ' ll probably serve it for hash, tomorrow. R. Underwood

THE CRIMSON AND GRAY 23 Above all, she is leading. One gets everything about your actions, And feels quite at home with your functions. The Dummy Depot ' brings nevs s galore. And Sport Flashes add some more; The editorials are all worth reading; The poems, too, need no extra feeding — Still a story or tvs o would help a great deal To lead the Frankford High Way to obtain a seal. THE SCOTLAND COURIER, Scotland, Pa., A well-written paper worthy of its name Every bi-weekly edition is not the same; The Alumni Page holds quite a place, The Questions and Answers pucker one ' s face Tn a snicker that burst into a roar When the Dormotoryettes rush in the door. But there is something lacking, quite evi- dent, too. Where are your ads ? — You need quite a few. THE WAXA BEACON, Waxachachie, Texas An attractive heading makes one realize That there is something worth reading, though small be its size. The editorials are great and so are the ads. Enough rooting is given the Football lads ; The Society Columns are different, indeed. The Art Editors have talent and are in the lead. But still, though not eager, we must say A few stories should be written without delay. THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD, Westfield, Mass. Some book, I ' ll say! Why it ' s just great! Holds one with its contents till one is late! The play, Glimpses at the National Pas- time, deserves praise, It is so natural you think you own a place In one of its characters. Your artists, too, Are hard to be rivalled even by a few. Well divided it is, and proud you should be. Another exchange we ' ll be glad to see . THE SCROLL, Toledo, Ohio Quite an interest is taken in your Alumnae, Of their past and present and future to be. The cover of the Scroll is hard to express — How well it is done, — everyone says; But a variety of stories would please the ear ; The exchanges are great, there is nothing to fear. THE HILLTOP, Warren, Mass. Your book, certainly, rates above all. And what is surprising your group is so small. Shakespeare, himself, might well had worries If your poets and novelists wrote then their stories. The photographer must have a Croesus ' s mine. For taking all the pictures in your book, by this time. Great work, friends, try and keep it so. You ' ll always reach the top, no matter how slow.
