Page Sixteen THE WIDE AWAKE PHYSICS (Dedicated to Henry Mallette, Tune: Old Oaken Bucket) What woes are concealed in the study of Physics That shatter what joy might enliven my breast. And congeal all the hopes for the gaining of knowledge Which would heighten my bliss and perhaps make me blest. This most wretched subject painfully muddles me. Puzzles me, vexes me, weighs my heart down; So persistently, terribly, mightily, shamefully, Till it gets my face twisted all up in a frown. And my abe instructor whosepatient persistence Has never been equalled so far as I’ve heard. Can’t see that I meant no intended resistance And scolds me and utters some very harsh words. But Confound it! in spite of the units of heat And all the annoyances caused by induction, I’ll finally get all my Physics complete And hope to get ranked without too great reduction. H. B. P. The Seniors are a funny folk There is Mary Hicock so mild and so meek And Sherwood Dawson so tight he would squeek (You know people it just is no use Sherwood just won’t pay his class dues) Willie Del Po romantic and musical And Inez Richmond so dainty and whimsical. When we see Nellie Plungis we never know Whether it’s she or only her shadow. Lizzie and Jeanette are about the same The only difference is in their name, Mallette and Partridge show many tricks Especially in discussing politics. To Mabelle W. H. S. has no thrill Her thoughts all linger up on Good Hil, Carolyn Parmelee looks rather small But I'd hate to be on the bottom if Carrie should fall. If we want to be a Woodbury resident We can’t slam Horace for he is the President. The Woodbury Shops, Inc.

Doris Eyre has adopted a new “stay-at-home” policy—(after 2 a. m.). Partridge has agreed to help the Prof, at Storrs work out those complicated Physics problems. Eriksson’s philosophy always sounds brilliant in Trig class. (Don’t tell them you were out late and didn’t even look at a problem.) Joe Cassidy’s soliloquy—“Those evening belles are breaking up that old can of mine.” Cliff Johnson is worrying over the new 1929 “aerscooter” for he says only Lindbergh trys that one-arm driving. Hank Dawson’s new theater “Dutch treat” has opened. He hopes for success. The plan is something like this—“The rest of the bunch flip a coin to see who pays for my ticket!” The school board has received Bob Brinley’s petition for roomier seats for weighty Sophomores. Knox is learning the sign language so he may fully express himself when a traffic jam occurs. Wanted—Position as private chauffeur for some wrell-to-do debutante—Charlotte Isham. (Would a position with Secretary of the W. C. T. U. do?) Inez Richmond should be convinced that those vacations with measles are not so congenial just before graduation. Henry Mallette has solved a problem by logarithins in Trigonometry. James Lockwood and Bob Brinley w ere excused from history class for two days, so that the other students might catch up to them. Willie DelPo is our example of “Why Girls Leave Home.” The prohibition of chewing gum has been successful. The Business Managers have the easiest time on the Wide AwTake staff. Bob Brinley, that thin, frail looking Sophomore is recovering from his illness, and the Dr. promises that he will gain weight speedily. Mitchell school will be a wooden buiding in 1949. Jeanette Stone is able to graduate due to the kindness of the instrutors who gave her an average of 70 for her four year course, her real average being only 69.2. Many Seniors disliked their pictures because they looked like them. Henry Partridge our Babe Ruth has a batting average of 700. Helen Klatka and Henry Partridge are the champion bluffers in this school. Henry Mallette finds school work too easy. Bud Davis comes to school for the purpose of studing. Girls are always the best Physical students. The boys baseball team won a league game a fewr day 8 ago. Philip Scoville—“Now sugar— May Swanson (excitedly)—“Yes. Yes?” Philip Scoville—“Certainly goes good with coffee.” CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY— 50 many boys have green shirts this year? Who started it anyway? 51 likes Latin I soo much? Is the attraction really Latin or Freshmen girls? Edith likes lolly pops? Cliff doesn’t practise baseball more noon hours and before the opening seasons? Evelyn Adams jumps whenever the telephone rings? Partridge—“W’hat kind of tooth paste do you use? Si—“I don’t use any. My teeth aren’t loose.” Sidney Platt—“I got an awful pain in my synagogue.” Fred Bradley—“Now what the heck is your synagogue?” Sidney Platt—“Why my temple of course.” History teacher—“When was the ‘Revival of Learning’?” Brinley—“Just before exams.”
