The editor of the Washington Press
is just too horrid for anything. In
writing up the high school graduating
exercises this is what he says: "Why
bid the class farewell, when most of
'em will stay right here, and plug
around and marry, and ten years
hence they will not care who their
classmates were? And why gush over
the teachers, when if they spoke
truly, they would call 'em that old
crosspatch' or that poky old shezix?,
And why let on that the class is dead
in love with the school directors,
when not one of the class would
swap box of strawberries for the
whole shooting match of 'em? We
have to do enough lying, as we go
through this vale of tears, to avoid
lickings and other disagreeable things,
without going out of the way to lie
gratuitously and when it can do no
good at commencement. If we don't
make it pay, what's the use in lying?
