The Seniors entertained the Juniors at the Club December lGtih 1918. A good time was enjoyed by all, especially by the Seniors. We hope that the Juniors enjoyed themselves, but we do not know, as they made no manifestations to that effect. Perhaps they will learn some manners when they are a little older as they have plenty of time. Has anyone ever been enticed—just ask AdaBelle about the Lieutenant and the army ring. Ask Miss Cole what vivisection means. Notice. Entertainment for Returned Soldier furnished. For recommendation inquire of GLENN LEETCH, Wilson, N. Y. Helen A. M. Haas. Mrs. Blake—“Doris, What is Plaster Paris used for?” Doris—“It is used in Baking Powder.” Two of the Seniors have become very studious. Why they find it difficult to leave the school building at night, they are so engrossed with their studies and it is impossible to walk through closed doors. Ask Grace and Lucile about it. Mr. Mcllroy in American History—“What is the most widely read book in the world?” Frances Marks—“Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Mr. Mclroy—“That’s all right but don’t tell your Sunday school teacher.” Mrs. Blake is still searching for the “Philosopher’s stone.” Miss Haas in English IV—“Rex, when are you coming to see me?” We wonder if she forgot it isn’t Leap Year. AdaBelle is always ahead of the rest of us Seniors and all of a sudden has turned very “Sweet.” Frances Marks holds two amusements higher than all others, Painting and Singing. In painting she uses “Brown,” extensively, but she does love singing so Noble Sang-er a song.

During the Influenza epidemic Ml3s Bull always prescribed Carter’s Little Liver Pills for her patients. We wonder why? Jean M. is noted for her sharp points—on pencils. Charlie Pettit is always trying to impress one of the importance of the (background in pictures. How about it Charlie? We wonder what Is wrong with Esther’s Foote. It isn’t everyone who can pick up dainty boxes of candy from the waste paper baskets is It Miss Bixler? Glenn went striding through the hall, And like Humpty Dumpty took a great fall. Now Glenn you know is full of pep. But this time, he failed and—and—missed a step. “Hank” Donner’s favorite flower is the “Lily.” Grace persists in uttering incoherent phrases as Will—they— Will—he. Will—ie W-i-l-l-i-e—Willie. Too bad Doris is going to leave 'town, or at least, she thinks so. We don’t knowr whether she is feeling blue about leaving the towrn itself or another kind of a Wilson. The roads are fine from North Ridge to Youngstown. You wonder why? Well, we’ll tell you, because they are traveled so much. We don’t think the Juniors used much tact in selecting their class president—Walter. Why he is even afraid of cats! We Seniors have attached an additional motto to our original one, Brighten the Corner where you are,” and two of our Seniors are taking it upon themselves to accomplish this duty by furnishing ihe necessary brightness by their glaring headlights. Helen Coulter greatly enjoys playing “Andy” “Andy,” over. The cows are in the pasture; The sheep are In the grass; But all the little geese Are in the Junior class.

Mrs. Blake in study hall—“Frances Marks has lost her Hamlet. Anyone finding this Hamlet please return it to its rightful owner. Jack’s Prayer. Little Jack’s grandmother told him that he must ask God to make the weather warmer so her rheumatism would be better. So at the close of his prayer that night he was heard to say: “And oh, yes, dear Lord make it hot for grandma.” Doris Swick in chemistry—“What do they flavor face powder with?” Mr. Mcllroy in chapel toEdnaLeetch—“Do you want to speak about something Edna Middleton?” Alexander Wright to Wirt Wakeman—“You walk as fast as a Campbell. Wirt—“I know it but it makes me hump some.” Mable Plumb, looking at her ring—“My ring has brightened up because I washed dishes in it.” Miss Haas in civics to Stewart Germain—“What is a court?” Stewart—“When a man wants to marry a woman he courts her that’s one kind.” We were informed one day in chemistry by Mrs. Blake that we had a new student Mr. Max. How about it Max? Esther Johnson in chemistry—“They drop the foundation in,” (when making a bridge.) Mrs. Blake in chemistry to Helen Coulter—“Now Ethel please be quiet.” A few minutes later. “Ethel did you hear what I said.” Another few minutes and, “I wish you would leave the room Ethel.” Mrs. Blake in chemistry—“I think you can all dye to-morrow.” Lucile—“But Mrs. Blake I’m not ready to dye.”
