THE POET'S (?) CORNER
There was a young man named Walter,
Who couldn't be lead with a halter,
But it was said by some,
If you gave him a plum,
You would never know him to falter.
There was a senior named Babbitt,
In school had an awful bad habit,
He'd sit and smile
Plumb cros't the aisle,
As timid and soft as a Rabbitt.
There's also a senior named "Green,"
Knock-kneed, bowlegged and lean,
But never-the-less,
We've got to confess,
In basketball he's very keen.
We have a girl caled "Joe,"
Who, in Latin is all the "Goe."
Though she is quite short,
She's a very good sport,
The rest we'll never "Noe."
Stanley: "I wonder how the girls' team gets clean after a game."
Guide: "That's easy! They have a scrub team."
Mr. Cox (In Assembly): Now, folks, we have a great deal before
us this morning.
There is a Soph, whose name is Walker,
A husky fellow, not a Balker;
He once ran a mile,
Finished with a smile,
Now he's getting to be quite a talker.
We have a boy whose name is Fred.
A boy whom girls do not dread;
He plays the bass drum
And basketball some,
And he once got a bump on the head.
JOKES
Mr. Cox: "Curley, where were you the seventh period yesterday?"
Curley: "I beat it."
Mr. Cox: "Well, beat it now and don't come back without an
excuse."
Fern: "Latin is a snap."
Walter: "It may be, but I can't snap it."
Mr. Cox: (in general assembly) "Now, folks, we have a great
deal before us."
Dale: "I wonder what makes me so short."
Lola: "Because you are always getting called down."
Marion: "Did you ever kiss a girl under the mistletoe?"
Fred: "No, but I've kissed a lot of them under the nose."
Marion: "This wire don't shock me a bit."
Fern: "It doesn't? Well, I would like to shock you once."
Mr. Cox: (in Physics lab.) This is a good electric light bulb
and this one is burned out. I will break the old one so you
can see how it's made. (He carefully breaks the good one.)
We have a young girl named Fern Hooker.
Who wonders why the boys never took 'er.
She wears a cute smile.
As she goes up the aisle.
And they says she's not such a bad Looker.
One of our teaacher's named Ray,
He likes the girls both night and day.
He wears a gray suit
And blushes so cute,
And drives a Ford car to Omahay.
We know a lassie named Plumb
Who surely is not a Bumb,
A Dutch she likes,
At others she bites,
But we're sure she's not so Dumb.
Marie was once seen riding in a Star,
Which is only the name for a make of car,
She plays basketball
That's fast 'nuff for all,
And helps roll up the score quite far.
We have a senior whose name is Maxine,
Who's [sic] disposition is not very mean,
We have to explain,
She sure can declaim,
With boys she seldom is seen.
We have a senior by the name of Pearle,
Who is just a good natured sort of girl.
She don't go with boys,
Don't like their noise.
Says she'll leave the nuts for the squirrels.
Miss Whistler says she's nobody's fool,
And teaches her puipls the Golden Rule,
And often says when spoken to:
"You're just kiddin', aren't you?"
But more often she says: "Stay after school."
Our professor's anme is Cox
Is office door he Lox.
He never is short
Is a very good sport,
And would bet on old 'Donia his Sox.
One of our teacher's name is Carrie,
She urges little boys not to Tarrie,
Teaches Latin, you know,
And English al-so,
Both subjects some students would bury.
Guido is a steppin' fool,
And the biggest talker in the pool;
He would walk a mile
To get just a smile,
From a very short girl in our school.
