The “School Notes” filled almost two columns and, from a school standpoint, were extremely funny.
“Ferris, 2d, says he is raising a mustache. It looks to us like dirt, but Hy ought to know.”
“T—— L——, 1st, wears his collars so high that every time he looks over the edge he gets dizzy.”
“Notice anything new about Doctor H——? One at a time, please!”
“A clean towel has been placed in the Gymnasium wash-room. This makes the second this year.”
“Rand, 1st, has a new pair of trousers. Congratulations, Paul! (Later. We were mistaken. It’s the same old pair. Paul has had them pressed. Apologies, Paul!”)
“There’s going to be a party at Farrell’s before long. Ask Editor Chambers who is giving it.”
“There’s a case of German measles in Merle. Even our diseases are Made in Germany nowadays.”
“Captain Vinton says the football prospects are extremely bright. They always are at this time of year.”
“Hiltz, 2d, took tea on Friday with our popular Matron. So far his nerve has not been affected.”
