TIME TO LAUGH
Stephanie Bragaw, ’2.5
When we were back in the gram
mar grades to reach high school was
always our fondest ambition, our
most cherished hope. We looked upon
it as an almost unattainable honor,
a dazzling height to "be reached by
seven years of slavish toil. How we
used to rejoice in the anticipation of
probing deep into the mysteries of
latin and algebra and of having a
different teacher for every subject;
and last but not least, of being a unit
of that great mass of boys and girls
ever moving onward to that one great
goal—graduation.
Now we’re here and our rosy
dreams have burst into a flood of real
ism (some of it is almost too real)
and how different we find it. Latin
and algebra are now grim realities
and civics, oh my! We’ve all decided
to like Mr. Grissom though he does
scare us sometimes. We find that
ev'erything is not plain sailing toward
our goal, but we must really work if
we are to succeed.
Oh the joy of actually being here—
of saying with outward carelessness,
but with an inward burst of pride,
“Oh, I’m in the First Year High!”
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wish I were a senior.
—A Freshman.
Socking Knowledge from a New Sonroo
The other night Florence Swaim
had a difficult composition to write.
She sought vainly for the needed in
formation and upon being unsuccess
ful was heard to remark, “When the
rest of the class have compositions
to write they always go to Pierce Ar
rows, or Saint Peters, or some other
Encyclopedia for help. I wish we
had one.”
The question has arisen does Miss
B. M. Walker believe all she argues.
John: “They say Bill Barr is in love
with Elizabeth Davis.”
Charles: “Well, he’s safe enough; he
can’t reach her.”
Teacher: “Paul, describe the nu
cleus.”
Paul: “Can’t, I have never seen
one.”
Miss Cassell: “Have you read the
Declaration of Independence?”
Herman Leonard: “I have not.”
Miss Cassell: “Have you read the
Constitution of the United States?”
Herman Leonard: “I have not.”
Miss Cassell: “Well, what have you
read ?”
Herman Leonard: “I have red hair.”
Teacher: “Charles, tell us all you
know of the Roman race.”
Charles: “I wasn’t there. I went
to the ball game.”
Mr. Grissom (teaching tenth grade
geometry): “What are the two meth
ods of proof first studied in geome-
M'y?”
Charles: “Sympathetic and super
stitious.”
Miss ’Wilson,—What did General
Wolfe do?
Katherine.—He captured Wolfe-
town.
The person who doesn’t work at
tracts the most attention.
Great minds have purposes; others
have wishes.
Mr. Grissom: “What is meant by
the synthetic method of proof?”
Lois: “Taking known truths and
putting them together in order to ob
tain an unknowm truth.”
