Ruth Barham: "I can solve any problem you may give me."
LeRoy Roquemore: "Solve, this please:"
"Take all the love that's ever been from long ago 'til now,
And multiply it ten times ten, then ten times more allow,
Add all the love that ever will be-let interest accrue.
The sum of love that you will see is less than mine for you."
Mrs. Chamberlin: "Lillian, will you ever quit using those exaggerations?"
Lillian: "Well, Miss Pearl, you said to always give allowance for our
seems (seams)."
Irene: "0! Miss Jewel, has the prettiest new dress. It's just the color of
my complexion."
Mr. Ferguson: "What kind is it, polka dots?"
Mrs. Chamberlin: "This piece of lace on my dress is over fifty years old."
Miss Watson: "It's beautiful. Did you make it yourself?"
Mr. Cox: "Who was Webster?"
Esther immediately said-"A statesman."
"But what is a statesman?" asked Mr. Cox.
"A man who goes around making speeches,"'' answered Esther.
"That's right," said Mr. Cox, smiling, "I go round making speeches, but
I'm no statesman at all."
"I know," replied Esther. "But I mean a man who goes around making
good speeches."
There was a young man named Paul,
Who took English B in spring instead of fall;
When he would study his brain grew muddy,
And that was the end of it all.
"What in the world are you doing?" asked Mr. Cox of a Fresh-man at the
opening of school, as he saw him by himself mumbling quite loud.
"I'm studing my gosinto," he replied.
"Your what?" asked Mr. Cox.
" My gosinto, " meekly replied the Fresh-man.
"Well, show me how you study your gosinto," said Mr. Cox.
"Our class gosinto Mrs. Davis' room, then it gosinto Mr. Havs' room, and
next it gosinto Mr. Hale's room. It was awfully hard at first, but I'm about to
learn my gosinto now."
