I AM THE NEW AUDITORIUM I am the result of many years of planning and hoping. I am H)2l - feet long, and 67 feet wide. My playing door occupies 3,800 square feet. My seating capacity for basketball games is 850 and for other events 1.500. Through me, West Salem has become the envy of all the towns around. Now the students will have an excellent place in which to play basketball, give plays, and have parties. I will give service to the whole community, and they will know how-necessary I am. I was made possible through an endowment given by Mrs. Ida E. Tilson; and therefore, everyone is grateful to Mrs. Tilson. I am the new auditorium. Miss Staky—Yes. Kichard, what is it? Richard R.—I don’t want to scare you. but daddy said if I didn’t get better grades, someone is due for a licking. Herbert—I fell in a mud puddle. Mrs. Rhodes—What, with your new pants? Herbert—Yes. I fell so fast I didn’t have a chance to take them off. Why is a boy like a kerosene lamp? Because he isn’t very bright: he is nften turned down; generally smokes; and he frequently goes out nights. Mr. Miller—I’ll teach you to make love to my daughter, young man. Calvin S.—I wish you would. Sir. I'm not making much headway. Mr. Nelson—W hat happens when a body is immersed in water? Eileen H. The telephone rings. Lorraine A.—Wyliss says she’s wildly in love with her car. Doris C.—Just another case when man is replaced by machine. Barber—W hat’s the matter, ain’t the razor taking holt? Schroeder—Yeah, it’s taking holt, all right, but it ain’t lettin’ go again. Mrs. Lamp—What did your father say when you smashed the new car? Johnny—Shall I leave out the swear words? Mrs. Lamp—Yes, of course. Johnny—He didn’t say a thing. Mr. Nelson-—W'hat’s a comet? Harrison—A star with a tail. Mr. Nelson—Very good. Now- give me the name of one. Harrison—Mickey Mouse. CLASSROOM BONERS W hile rew riting sentences in English class. John gave us this masterpiece. Original—“They have made many improvements in the new ear.” Johnny's—“Ford has made many improvements in his new- car.” The Seniors were having a class meeting.
