Extracts from behind the Curtain. “For goodness sake, get away from that glass, and give another person a chance.” “Is my hat on straight ?” “Has anyone seen my shoes ?” “I don’t believe we’re going to have a crowd at all. There’s no one but children down there.” “Say, is my hair powdered enough ?” “Has anyone taken my snuff box ?” Oh, dear! I don’t believe we’ll make anything.” “Cheer up Washington is ahead.” “Girls, do the flowers on my hat stand up straight enough.” Gyp, do keep out the way, you will have our dresses all black.” “Stop bobbing around us, you’ll have the wire out of that pigtail.” “Say, am I black enough ?” “Girls, girls, you’ll have to be quiet. Every one get your positions.” Force of Habit. “Why did you break your engagement with that school teacher ?” “If I failed to show up at her house every evening she expected me to bring a written excuse signed by my mother.”

Extracts from Senior Rehersal. This hall is like a barn. I’m catching my death of cold. Has any one seen Edna? Do you think we’ll ever get this learned ? I don’t know where I’m going to get a wig. I can’t do that last act if I practice all winter. Don’t you wish you were one of the cooking club so you could get something to eat ? Query: Who is the star in the play ? Reply: We are all “Stars.”

Revenged. ‘‘Johnny, I have great news for you; I am going to marry your sister. What do you think about that ?” “I think it serves her right.” The Senior Class have decided to buy an aeroplane for quick transportation from Miller Brown’s corners to Washington street for W. Hunter’s and L. Bush’s special benefit. “Cook did you stay long in your last place ?” “I never stays nowhere long enough to be discharged. I’s one of these heer fireless Gookers.” It is said that the moon always shines over Church’s house. Is that why you don’t need a lantern at that particular spot, Douglas ? Notice. Mr. Mosher has sold his driving horse for he thinks it is much more convenient to sit in the back of bob-sleighs than upon the driver’s seat. Undoubtedly Cleland agrees with him. Beatrice translating in German: “The rooster cackled.” It must have been one that belonged to the Juniors. Can it be true as Edna H. says that the night is divided into four equal washes ? Edna Huntington is pretty Frank, but ask her, and see if she will own up to having Fitz quite often. Myra is always early. Douglas, old man, we’re glad to see that time mends broken hearts.
