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.”

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.

Original Poems. On Tuesday when the sun was bright. Some Seniors took a rapid flight Down railroad track we went so fast, And came to the auction sale at last. G. I. W. '19 I know a certain girl in school Who never likes to break the rule, But when a pencil point she breaks, You ought to see the steps she takes. M. E. D. ’19. Our Mary often goes to see What she can find in the library And soon along comes Mrs. Blake, And locks her in, all by mistake. A. Z. S. ’19. Our Charlie is a studious chap And always Ins everything down pat, On backgrounds he is always inclined Some facts of interest there to find. E. L. C. ’19. Should a man be discouraged in life. When he’s hunted and not found a wife, Oh! I should say not, For in this worldly life, Will someone please tell me what good is a wife A. M. H. ’19.
