28 General Wolfe Junior High School HUMOR WHEN A FELLOW NEEDS A FRIEND Having finished my dinner, and in dread of the maddening sentence. “Billy, is your homework done?” I scoot upstairs with The Funnies. In a few minutes I hear something about homework, but, feeling positively cer¬ tain that it could not possibly refer to me, I go right on reading The Tunnies ; till hearing footsteps approaching and, knowing they mean action, I grab for my Speller and then for my Homework book to see what page to study. I find, “Spelling, next page.” Now that’s a big help, but, T finally decide its page forty-four. After studying for five minutes I dis¬ cover that we had that page today and turn to the next. I glance over the first column with such thoughts as, “Why do they have to put such words as ‘chrysanthemums’ in, when the author could have saved both paper and my poor overworked brains by putting ‘mums’ in¬ stead? Now I wonder what ‘disparage’ means? (I find somthing like this) ‘disparage—unjustly deprecate.’ Now that I know exactly what that means I can go on to the next column, in which I find ‘syncopate,’ (another de¬ lightful word). I look up Webster’s interpretation to find it says ‘syncopate —misplaced accent.’ Oh, yes. Funny I didn’t think of that before; I do it nearly every day in French period. (We don’t have French every day or I’d do it every day.) But what under the sun does this word ‘indubitable’ mean ? Catch me looking that one up. I’ll ask Dad.” “Oh, Dad, would you mind telling me what ‘indubitable’ means?” “Oh, yes, certainly, but really—er don’t you think it would be much better for you if you looked it up yourself ?” is the usual useless reply. “Fiddle sticks! you said that last time and the time before you told me it was time to go to bed. Bah! Good excuse, I call it.” With this I de¬ cide to do it early next morning (with the usual result). Hence my brilliancy in Spelling! —Roberta Smith, 9A, Room 8. GENERAL WOLFE HOWLERS What is the opposite number of “cupful” ?
