Doris Fittro Vice-President - - Elizabeth Tschabold Treasurer - - - Illah Porter Secretary - - Pauline McQuillian Historian - Irene Young Colors—White and Gold Flower—Oxeyed Daisy. Motto—Fideli Certa Merces. The story has been circulated that one of the Senior’s is going to sue for divorce. How about it Doris ? The Senior Class held a masquerade skate, January 5th which was enjoyed by all, All studying was laid aside Thursday evening, February 12th and the Vice-President was pleasantly surprised by the members of the Senior Class. Rarebits. To call money “dough” Seems to me very funny, Dough sticks to your fingers, But it’s not so with money—Ex. For students who are behind in their lessons. Eat beans and ketchup. When in doubt, mind your own business. Putting on Airs. It was evening and Harold approached Andy Salow on his motor-cycle. Andy—“Sir, your beacon has ceased its function.” Harold—“Sir?” Andy—“Your illuminator, I say, is shrouded in unmitigated oblivion,” Harold—“Really, but I don’t quite------” Andy—“The effulgence of your radiator has evanced.” Just then a newsboy shouted across the street: “Hey, Mister yer lamp’s out,” Ruthie said to Harry, “Will you be out to-night!” Now Harry said to Ruthie, “You bet I will all right.” Now is not that joke sublime? “For we all know that Harry is at Ruthie’s all the time.” Do not Heait-Eight to Read This!

There’s Ed and Harold and Earl, you know, Just pick out one and tell the rest, “Go!” Floyd Mandaville has taken a great liking to the song, “I wish I had my old girl back again.” Of course there’s a reason. Important to Trappers. It is said that by next fall skins will be bought at a good price in this village. Ask Mary for information as she expects to become a Tanner. Entertaining the Minuter. By permission of the author. ‘ Say, you’re the new minister, ain’t you? Ma’ll be down in a minute. She’s just changing her dress, for she had on the awfulest old wrapper you ever saw. She was makin’ preserves —and when I hollered to her that you was cornin’ up the street, she says, ‘Oh, for pity’s sake, I hope he isn’t cornin’ here to call, an’ me right in the midst of these preserves,’ So I watched to see whether you’d go to Joneses, or here, an’ sure enough you came here. You’ve got a little girl, haven’t you? I saw her across the church on Sunday. I don’t think she’s homely, but Aunt Nettie does. Say, can your little girl dress herself? How does she get dressed then? Her mamma? Well, that’s a joke on Aunt Nettie then, for she said the minister’s wife didn’t know how to dress her little girl. Do you want me to play the phonograph for you? Ma bought it for pa’s Christmas. She has to pay so much a month for it, an’ she didn’t have the money, so pa has to pay for it, or the man would take the phonograph away. Ain’t that a joke on him, to pay for his own Christmas present? He’s mad about it though, an’ says a swear word every month when the man comes for the money. Say, are you goin’ to stay for supper? Ma was kinder afraid you would. I wouldn’t if I was you, for we’re just going to have cold meat, and ma was afraid there wouldn’t be enough to go around. When there isn’t and I ask for more, she tells me it wouldn’t be good for me. There’ll be enough, though if you don’t stay. Don’t you want to see my post-cards? That’s one from Uncle Jim. I was named for him. He’s pa’s brother an’ ma says he’s a stingy old thing, just to send me a postal card at Christmas. You preach longer sermons than Mr. Smith did, don’t you? Pa says you do, an’ he went to sleep last Sunday. But you get sleepy in church too, don’t you? That’s funny. Pa said the committee ought to have got a wide-awake man, so I thought maybe you were sleepy. Does the money from the collection boxes come to you? Ma got a Canada ten cents in the street car the other day, and she said, ‘Never mind. I'll put it in the collection on Sunday.' There’s ma calling me now. I wonder what she wants. Oh, gee whiz! She said I was to come back up-stairs and button her waist in the back for her. I’ll catch it, for I clean forgot it. I’ll tell her I was so busy entertaining you, that was the reason. So long!” —ELSIE DUNCAN YALE. In Honor of Fourteen. Tune: Maryland, my Maryland. There is a class in Wilson High Wilson High, 0 Wilson High, The fame of which can never die Wilson High, 0 Wilson High. A class that now leads all the rest A class indeed, the very best A class by which our school is blest, Wilson High, 0 Wilson High. For many years we’ve labored on Wilson High, O Wilson High And more the goal is nearty won Wilson High, 0 Wilson High. We seven began with primer class And year by year we upward passed And reached the Senior class at last Wilson High, 0 Wilson High. The time has come for us to part Wilson High, 0 Wilson High Our love for thee fills every heart Wilson High, O Wilson High, And as we journey far and near Our love shall ever hold thee dear And be reviewed from year to year, Wilson High, O Wilson High. A Serious Case-Incurable? It is with sadness we record here the affliction of one dear to the hearts of the students of Wilson High School past and present. About one year ago the unfortunate one contracted a disease which is fast becoming prevalent among the aristocracy and which is considered to be as deadly as smallpox or scarlet fever—an Automobilious attack. The trouble became further aggravated by a visit to the Auto Show and finally reached the acute stage about the first of May, when the malady reached the eruptive stage. A Buffalo specialist was consulted and he confirmed the worst fears by pronouncing it Hupmobiliousness and the patient was given up. From this time on the patient became a changed man. The trouble became chronic and since then we have beheld in the face of our dear Professor the tense and drawn lines and set features of an auto-fanatic. In plain English he is suffering a severe case of auto-face. His brain too has become sadly affected and he talks incessantly of “speedmeters” and “lubricating systems,’' “oils and punctures” —a sad state indeed for such a brilliant mind. We miss the familiar features and pleasant, expansive smile—gone for a time but we trust not forever. Aye Mac! And will ye no’ coma back? 'Tis true we miss ye sairly, Thy bonny face and cheerfu’ grace We long tae greet sae airly. As School Life Goes. Which Freshman wears the biggest hat? The one that has the biggest head. Air. Alcllroy: “What kind of rain do they have in the house latitudes? EdnaM: “Dry.” Miss Lux has changed her mind about auburn hair. She admires it now. As long as Harold couldn’t swipe Aliss Sweet, He swiped sweet candy, To see if he couldn’t keep sweet Because Sweet wasn’t handy. Mable Quiett is very piggish, she always wants “Moore.” Stanley Sherman—“Tom, I wouldn’t let German get ahead of me, I would try to master it.” “Tom—“Well, if I was as big a Dutchman as you are, maybe I could.” A new kind of Sandwich has been made called “Cotton Batting.” How about it Harold? Who’s Joe ? Ask Grace Goodman. Lost—Doc. Moore’s left shoe. Black lace, and size 8 3-4. A reward will probably be given to the finder as he is very anxious to obtain it because he has been seen walking up and down the street and inquiring of passers-by if they had seen a strange shoe. Mr. Mcllroy evidently thinks the Ancient History class is rather bright. He has been known to have them write two hundred pages for one lesson. Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust; If Physics don’t kill us, American History must. German Class. Teacher—“Mr. Whittaker, are you anwesendor abwesend?” Pupil—“I am abwesend.” The Ghost: “Mr. Pettit you may say Grace.” But for once in his life, Louie had nothing to say, for Laverda was there. Mrs. Blake has selected new names for the Physic class, such as plus and minus. “I lof mein Louie mit all mein heart.”—L. B. Earnest Teacher:—What is profile?” Bessie W.—“Profile? Why, it is something in a manicure set. Mrs. Blake, on hearing Miss Gyer’s pupils singing said: “Just listen to that wind, it is going right up the scale.” Here are some answers found on examination papers: Henry VIII had six wives and died a natural death. History is divided into two parts; Natural and unnatural, Pyramids were the pleasure resorts of ancient kings. Longitude is the height of anyone. A parody is the different ways of writing “Mary had a little Lamb.” Recently there was found a genius of the boxing profession in the Wilson High School. This genius is (Kid) McMillian He is noted for his fine swing and splendid footworks, but all these excellent qualities must give way to the famous NcMill-ian swing which he duplicated from another boxer. Under his constant use it has attained a high standard of perfection which is exclusively his; and which he alone uses effectively. Some of his late opponents can testify to this. As he faces his opponent he suddenly whirls around, arms extended and describing a circle on his heels brings those dreaded mitts up alongside his opponents jaw. This swing is especially effective at long range. Now I want to warn the local boxers of the school who arc anticipating a bout with (Kid) McMillian to beware of the McMillian swing—The swing that made McMillian famous. G. N. '16 Foolish Questions. If Greta could eat two pies, how many could Margucr-ite? If Anna wrote a letter to Panama, would it be a reward of Merritt? If Cora Blake did the “tango,” would Greta Gy-er. Miss Smith can make dollar bills jingle. Can you? If Mary B. was naughty, would Nelson Tan-ner? Who are the two rivals, for the love of “Packy.” If Irene is Young, is Har-old? Does Dolly’s friend make many mistakes? Could there be less noise from the Seniors in the north classroom? No. If Mable K. goes to the show, would Harold Whit-taker? If the Seniors go for a boat ride, would Doris Fitt-ro? If one of the seventh grade girls skipped, would Miss Hunter? Is Martha’s “Frank”-ness a lost art? If Elizabeth goes to an automobile show, would she see a Bick-ford? It a baby cries, does a rubber-ball? If “Hamlet” had “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on the “Twelfth Night” about the “Merry Wives of Windsor” would there be “Much Ado About Nothing?” If Miss Gyer goes Latin mad, would Julius Caesar? Why does George Norton write his love-notes in Latin? If Ilah built a home, would she have a Tower? Would Marjorie like to become a Singer? If Irene was late, would she Legg-ett? When Harry went over to see Ellsworth was Pauline Mc-Quill-in? Who has the sweetest name in school? Sadie. “Dont’a for Freshmen.” Don’t carry more than one lesson book. Everyone can tell you go to school. Don’t try to be excused for lateness. Your funeral is the only thing accepted. Don’t hurry home after school. Lots of pupils stay to visit the teachers. Don’t attempt to study in the Study Halls. It leads to disorder. Don’t dress hurriedly. Take time to arrange your hair and clothes. The teachers have to look at something. Don’t come regularly to school. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Dear Friend. If in this book you find your name It is not put here to defame, And ere your ire has begun To rise—remember ’tis in fun. FOR SALE. Lots on the Island Harris Cottage, Village Property and Farms.
