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.

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.

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.

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?
