GREAT

GREAT
Had the privilege of shak-
ing hands with we think to be
one of the five greatest living
men in the world Charles F.
Kettering. BOSS Ket" is a
humorous, genial person who
says that he has enjoyed HIM
self all his life. The occasion
was the Parade of Progress
Exhibit at the o. S. u. CAM
pus in Columbus.
We were especially impress
ed with Boss Ket's statement
that I'VE are trying to sell
America to the Americans"
To back this up, he said that
we, as a nation, are just be-
ginning to scratch the surface
insofar as science and engine
ering are concerened. "When
Bell invented the telephone"
said Mr.. Kettering, HE was
trying to improve Morse's
wireless the telephone was
an accident, really, Bell was
an artist and afterwards said
that if he had read one more
page of the science book, he
would never have attempted
to work on the problem"
"You can't pick genius out.
/ knew Henry Ford, and the
Wright brothers. No one
would ever think they would
accomplish anything of note
- but they did and what they
did changed the world"

grand guy, Ray Creighton,
music master at London High.
High praise due for fine man

NATURE BOY
It's really wonderful what
the combination of old rye and
wild oats will produce.
VIEWPOINT
If a girl can pick five boxes
of strawberries an hour and
a boy can pick six quarts an
hour !. it remains an astonish-
ing fact that both together,
lwon't pick even one box.
GRADUATION
The students who receive
their sheepskins at graduation
will find out later that they
will not compensate for all the
hide that will get knocked off
later on!

Old Haywood Snugg. the
Casanova of Hardscrabble,

young woman. young woman.
Best way to Judge EN-" says
Haywood, lis that they're get
tin on when they stop pattin'
themselves on the back and
and start pattin' themselves
under the chin!"
HOUSING
We suppose you've heard
the one about the quick built
house that fell down the same
day it was built they took
down the scaffolding before
the wallpaper was put up.
HUMMN!
Lady we know, very nice
old girl, told us the other day
eyes, 1 think the United Ma
tions is wonderful thing but
it is shame they have to have
SO many foreigners in it,"
FRUsTRATtoN
Our own idea of Illustration
in the Nth degree would be to
discover liquid which would
dissolve anything in the world
and then not be able to find
something to keep it in.
WELL?
A big shot is nothing more
than a little shot with plenty
of ammunition.

You know, the kind you have
