THE TATTLER
(Agony Column)
INTRODUCTION
Fiallow-Sufferers:
We are the Royal Order of the
Wall-eyed Association of Ink Sling-
ers of the Agony Department of the
Tattler. This is our maiden attempt
at collecting our troubles and offer
ing them to the public. We ask you
to bear with us at least until Tom
Booth masters his Caesar lesson.
The blood hounds came in from
Creedmoor the other night very tire*;
They were fed a hamburger sane
wich each from the Busy Bee cafi|,
The dogs are resting nicely nov:,
thank you.

Tis a pain!
Mr. Barnhart in ninth science: “All
who wish to see how a grub worm
looks in its second stage of develop
ment, please see me to-morrow.”
Miss Harriss, very impressively at
close of tenth English: “Please take
the same lesson to-day that you had
to-morrow.”
Josh Hicks says: “When some peo
ple strike a bit of prosperity, they
dance to celebrate it, and by the time
they’ve got thru dancing and paying
the fiddler, there ain’t no prosperity
left.”
Miss Tate, serving on refreshment
committee: “Oh, Annie Gray, you left
the kitchen door open and the draught
shut my cook-book so that now I have
n’t the faintest idea of what I was
cooking!”
No coward is small enough to hide
behind a woman’s skirt to-day.
The kind of midnight oil that
Freddie burns is cylinder oil.
THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW HIGH
Folks, whether you know it or not',
this new high school of our’s is “The
Stuff.” Work in the new High start
ed off with a snap and spirit thtit
would make an athletic director think
that he was in his seventh heaven.
Just you ask our Mr. Livingood, it
you don’t believe it.
Do you know that this is the first
year that Oxford ever won a foot
ball game off the home field. Well,
that’s a fact. Our football boys thh
year have the pep and spirit that
brings home the bacon. Results ar^
what count and results are the bas’i
of our statements. Soon our basket
ball, volley ball, and tennis teams
will be in action and so many wi 1
be their victories that they will bJ
looking for new worlds to conquei.
Now, don’t think we’re stuck up. It's
just the spirit and our greatest wish'
is that you follow suit.
Do you know also that this school
paper is already more than insured
of success financially? We proposJ
to issue this paper weekly at moi i
than a circulation of 500 copies per
week. In fact we have secured ad
vertisemfents guaranteeing this cir
culation and it is up to you and us
to make good our guarantee. We will
do our part. Will you do yours?
And our literary societies are the
pride of our hearts. We have or
ganized two societies each named by
popular vote after two famous North
Carolina writers, the O’Henry Society
and the McNeill Society. Why, the
friendly rivalry between these two
societies is worth a million dollars.
With Miss Harrington on the O’HenM
Society, and Mr. Livingood on
McNeil Society, what more could you
expect?
While we don’t know how to do
credit to our new principal and
teachers, we would just like publicly
to express our appreciation of Mr.
and Mrs. Barnhart, Miss Harris, Miss
Allen, Mr. Livingood, Miss Lewter,
Miss Currin and Mrs. Kimball. And
everyone knows our old standbys,
Prof. Credle, Miss Tate, Miss Har
rington and Mrs. Fleming.
And last, but not least, we have our
citizens and taxpayers to thanK, so
let’s give them a yell: 2-4-6-8, whom
do we appreciate, Oxford! Oxford!
Oxford!

The reception tendered the faculty
by the Woman’s Club at the home of
Mrs. R. H. Lewis proved a delightful
get-together affair. The autumn d||^
orations were lovely, and the refresh
ments were equally delightful.

joyable rook party last week in hon

O. H. S. SONG
(Tune: Yankee Doodle)
By Herbert Rountree, Jr.
O. H. S. plays shine or rain
And when she does she goes it.
"Where she strikes she’ll cause a pain
And everybody knows it.
(Chorus)
Eat more combread little folks
Before you try to play us.
You’ll soon find we are no jokes
Then what a bill you’ll pay us!
II.
O, teams who’d like to conquer us
Pray dance to tunes more raggy
For you’ve'less power over us
Than Jiggs has over Maggie.
Students, learn this song! Know
it by heart and come to the games
and sing it.
Miss Allen: “Jack, what is Rhode
Island celebrated for?”
Jack Cannady: “For being the only
one of the United States that s the
smallest.”
Just because Edward Coley’s ini
tials are the same as Caruso’s, he
thinks he can sing tenor.
MEANING SHORT SKIRTS?
Man wants but little here below.
Nor wants that little long.
Miss Lewter: “Ivey Allen, give me
a definition of ‘salt.’ ”
Ivey: “Salt is the stuff that makes
potatoes taste bad when you don’t
put any in.”
Mr. Barnhart, on theological class:
“Now, Bailey, what do you know
about this Bible study?”
Bailey, carelessly: “Lot.”
Mr. B. “Correct, and what happened
to his wife?”
Jefferson Brooks: “Well, boys. I’m
going to drive my Ford over to Dur
ham to-morrow.”
Edwin Shaw: “Who’s gonna push?”
