slcH SCHOOL MEMORIES.


Toast Delivered al the Alumni Association
Meeting -sy Robert Brain.
Mr.. PRESIDENT. LADIES AND GENTLE
MEN: Il have forgotten so much of what
learned at school that sometimes feel like
erecting good-sized monument to my own
departed memory, and should certainly
do SO IL the price of stone would only come
down. sometimes take down my geome-
try, my trigonometry and ancient history,
gaze At their long columns Of blood-curd-
ling information and their long hard words,
and my bosom swells with pride when l
think that once knew most Of the facts.
and could pronounce all the hard words
without getting my jaw out Of place more
than once or twice, or being obliged TO play
the longest words on the clarionet.
In chemistry knew just how much nico-
tine there is in quarters worth OF cigars;
1 knew Just how many drops Of this nico-
tine the chemistry said 1t is necessary to
put on the tongue of bulldog to have him
give up the ghost Immediately. Personally
never tried this experiment l do not
know many large bulldogs to speak to. and
those do know never volunteered TO stick
out their tongues TO be nicotined for the
s..a.s. y Sa..ssasss =, tha ahs,iss,, sn hpst |.
only TO strike an icy chill 10 the hearts of
high school youths who have been guilty of
the heinous crime of smoking cigarettes
Now wouldn't it be the heighth OF mean
ness to nicotine a poor, conhding bullpup
