Here and There
MR. FRY ASKED Alton Almond
to go down to Mr. Hatley’s room
and got Bobbie Eudy.
“I believe she has gone to Ba-
din with Otty,” Alton replied.
“What! In the day time?” Mr.
Fry remarked with a sly grin.

PAT ALLAN: “I’M always sing
ing off key!”
Suffering fellow alto: “No, Pat,
you don’t sing off key; you just
sing the right note at the wrong
time!”

AT A SENIOR class meeting
the problem of entertainment for
the senior assembly was being dis
cussed.
“We have a good barbershop
quartet right here in our own
class,” exclaimed Jimmy Page.
T-Boe quickly remarked, “Oh,
yeah, the four mugs!”
« « *
WHEN MR. FRY announced the
next number that the Mixed
Chorus would sing for the Civitan
Club, he made this comment,
“This next song will be kind of
jumpy.”
“Hold on to your seats, every
body!” piped Don Dor ton.
