20 THE ACORN Too much praise can't be given to the Christmas edition of the "Red and Black," Salt Lake High School. "Now, Pat" said a magistrate to an old offender. "What brought you here again?" "Two policemen, sor," was the laconic reply. "Drunk, I suppose?" queried the magistrate. "Yes, sor" said Pat," both uv thim." We are pleased to note the following exchanges: The Megunticook, Camden, Maine. The Wallace World, Nashville, Tennessee. The Oracle, Banger, Maine. The Dragon, Greenfield, Ohio. The Polymniar, Newark, New Jersey. The Echo, Nashville, Tennessee. Newton H. S. Review, Newton, Massachussetts. "Donnybrook Fair" shows more originality than most school papers we receive. H. C. T. Notes This is proving to be a wide awake society and its meetings are well attended. As the membership is limited, those who are members feel that it is a privilege to be associated in such an organization. The club is still studying Robert Browning and find his work very interesting. The girls prepare their lessons well and present them in a very interesting manner. We are looking forward with a great deal of pleasure, to the time when we shall have a room of our own in which to hold our meetings. At the close of last meeting the club were pleasantly surprised by their secretary, Katherine McKay, who entertained them at a "bob" party. For several hours the girls enjoyed themselves, singing, eating, giving H. C. P. yells, etc. The H. C. P. Club entertained their friends at a bob party Wednesday, January 30th. They assembled at the Academy about 7:30, and a crowd of forty entered a bob which was in waiting, and for several hours filled the air with songs and Academy yells. They were well chaperoned by Prof. Porter, Miss McKay and the Doctor, who came along in case of immergency. About 10 o'clock they returned to the dear old building and participated in games for a while. Refreshments were served, after which all departed, having had a most enjoyable time. All went well, but "Oh what a difference in the morning." The Acorn staff wish to thank the business men for their patronage in furnishing ads. Prof. Lind: "What takes place when a nail is driven into a board?" Joseph: "It makes a hole." Victor: "Did Adam know he was going to fall, before he came here?" Prof. McKay: "Yes." Victor: "Well then why did he not "fall" before he got here?" Cora: "Sometimes my voice sounds so funny, I have to stop and listen to it." Some of us have improved since "Reed" and "Wright" entered this institution?" Prof. McKendrick (in Arithmetic): "I have been very lenient with you students, I have not sat down on you yet." Ray and Willie please take notice. Katherine has a meeting on Thursday, immediately after school. Prof. Lind: "Those problems on the board yesterday were wrong." Heber F.: "Well, some of them were right because I worked them and got the same answer." Some of the History Students think they have graduated, just because the floor has been elevated. In Physiology: "Why does hair turn white with old age?" Prof. Porter: "It did not work that way with me." Pearl: "The owls, the crickets, the toads and all the other birds." Elinor to Heber Foulger: "How can love master the most strong?" Do We Need Telling? Willie: "Prof. Lind, what are diamonds worth?" Prof. Lind: "I do not know, I have never bought any." Why is Dr. Moulten like a vegetable? Because he is a commentator (common tater). Prof. Bradford: "A geyser is a hole that leads straight down to the hot place." Prof. Lind (in Physics): "What is energy?" Clarence: "Use me for one example."
