8 T h e P a d d e d H a m m e r ;■//, — Miss Fuller in Primary r» j:nlin^, “ Now Out'! Oul* is a new word fur tin■ children. Let them make a noise like a pig to get the sound.” (Just b<■ inn ura IV) A student was teaching spoiling in tin* prudes. In order that tin* oliildroii 111 i nr h understand wunL oloarlv, sin* was ilium rat iil;jc thorn in Tin* particular word was dumb.\ As Mr. Bailey entered flw roam sin* remarked, “That man i> deaf and dumb.’’ What would you flo ii tin* faculty mistook you for a church when you wt'iv only a house? Jf you can’t laugh at the jokes ul tin* freshmen, you nan tit least laugh at the freslunen fur their juke-. i )f all sad words of tongue or pen Tim saddest are these, “No mail again.” Student teacher in kindergarten, “What does your father put in the cellar in tin* winter? (Tin* expected answer was ‘p\tatues’ or 1 vegetaides.” Enthusiastic child, “Hoim* Brow.” Wanted— Some urn* to get up in Stu dents Assodatiun every Tuesday to ask fur recreation. First Freshman: ‘‘How can you tell which seniors which? I can’t lei] a Kindergartener from a Librarian.” Second Freshman: \Oh ymi can tell the Librarians for they always have their little luin-hbuxes or what ever they are, the K in dergurf enters always have a ball or some dlly plaything, and the ITiiiessiona Is an* the only carefree, happy ones.” Senior Irving to teaeli in music elass: \Now class, heat tin* s-ah*.\ M iss Crosby reproved an erring enior who had several inn*s to bring her book to class with, l)u you never bring your class lo ook?” Fitness For E n g lish W ork To Be Subjected to Test (Cortinued from page one) now the first four steps a re ready to be sent out. Even yet, however, the tests arc* in the experimental stage. It is for tin* purpose of assisting in working out the tests that they are being given in Geneseo. The scores will be for warded to Teachers’ College and will there be analyzed and later he report ed by Professor Abbott to the Nation al Council of Teachers of English. The first four steps of the tests in clude literary fa.cts, familiar quota tions, judgment of poetry, and vocab ulary. “ To Bob or Not to Bob,” is Serious Problem to Girls Im p roves Looks— S u p e r intendents D o n ’t H ire Bobbed H air Teachers — B e y s D o n ’t Like it— Takes Fortune to Buy H a ir N ets. “Shall I boh my h a ir?” “Shall I lot my hair grow out?” “Shall I do my hair up yet?” Tlio^.' are familiar questions to Gen girls, and are, to many, serious problems. \W e ll. I’m going to keep my hair bobbed. It makes me look heaps bet ter. Anyway, it is better for my hair ami it isn’t nearly so much bother,\ declared Marion when asked her opin ion of bobbed hair. “No! deeidedly not! never! Do you think I am going to be one of those wild girls people call ‘flappers?’ Just think of the bad example one would b* setting for the children!” is the fussy young lady’s idea. Some girls on coming tosehonl have a craze for hair bobbing and even get so that they consult their faculty advisors, bob their hair and then deeply regret it. That is tin* case* wilh many Seniors who bobbed their hair while innocent Juniors. “Oh d>*ar! Why did I ever boh my hair! It's such a nuisance to let it grow out. i don’t want to, hut— I sup pose ii would be lirrible to appear in tin* pi a. tire department with it down. It lakes so much stuffing to keep it in any sort of shape, and tlnm tin* ends stick out all over. Furtlier- lnoie, it takes a fortune to keep in hair nets. I’ll he glad when mint* grows in, won’t you, Beth?” “No! I won’t. I’d like to mine bobbed all tin* time, only the boys don’t like it. Guess they think it’s fun for a while but. if you notice, they go with the* bobbed heads for a while but then they drop them and maria soiin* sensible girls. “I hear the superintendents don’t like to hire leadiers with bobbed hair for they think it detracts from the dignity of a teacher,” “That’s trm enough. One* day niv old kid brother came home from school and said, 'Mother, I know my teacher doesn’t know anything!’ Mother said, ‘Why, what makes you Tiink so, Jack? ‘Oh, she wears su *h short skirts and has bobbed liair. Evci; time she thinks we aren’t look ing she wipes some powder on her nose or combs her hair. I wish they'd lire her.” Mother and Iliad a good langli over it, but it’s true just the same.” “That’s so. Our critic told us to he extremely careful in our dress ami ai rangement of our hair. Even a blind mail could to whom slu* re ferred. I nearly fell through the floor.” “Gee, haven't a lot of the ‘Presides’ got their liair bobbed? They’ll learn better after they’ve been here a while. They are just green yet. They ouglu to read the poem the* Seniors wrote about us (but. didn’t apply at all. “Where did you conn* from, Juniors dear?’ The Seniors will have to set a good example.\ “Fay, yuu know last week I went up with Ilwtli while she had law hair trimmed and the barber made a lew remarks. H e thought it was a shame for any girl with hair like Ruth’s to hob if. Absolutely foolish. lie rated on about all the girls he’d bobbed and and remarked what dumb-bells girls an* now a-dtiys. They aren’t satisfied unless they follow all tin* fashions that eonii* along. Then when Ruth was ready to leave, lie gave her a 7He bottle of liair dope and only charged her fi.lo lor all his work so you see he has a soft heart some where.” “You’d belter stop raving ymirsell, and let me get your hair up oil ‘Kur- ley-Kids’ or you’ll look like a scare crow tomorrow.” “All right, hut aren’t girls eraz> to boh their hair?” (Are They?) Social Groups Begin Activities Library and Kindergarten Depart m e n t s Organize and Elect Officers, Better Social Atm o sphere. Geneseo has always believed in the social as well as tlie physical and mental development of its students, and to help accomplish this, the social groups wen* formed. By means of them tin* students are given an op portunity of knowing each other and of learning to play as well as work together. The entire student body is divided into seven groups corresponding to tin* courses elected by the students as Senior Librarian, Senior Kinder garten, Senior Professionals, Train ing Glass and Freshman. It is customary for each group to organize and under direction of two faculty advisors, to have parties, pic nics, and other good times during the year. With more than r,0 members, the Senior Librarians are planning many activities for the year. Irma Snyder was elected president of the g r o u p at a meeting held during the first week of school. Other offi cers were: Y ice-president ........... Marion Baird Secretary ............... M a ry Powers Treasurer ........... Margaret Oolemun The Senior Kindergarten group consists of approximately 100 mem bers. At their first meeting Helen Bullock was elected president. The other officers are: Y ice-pi esident ............ Mae Newman Secretary .............. Louise Rogers Treasurer .................... Louise (Turk The other groups are planning to meet and elect officers during tlie next week. Poets' Corner O h ! F reshm e n !

In classes they remark, And say such foolish tilings; I! really is a lark To hear about their flings.

Good Luck and Bad Luck Steep a r e the stairs that lead t n suc cess Narrow and dark is the way, unless You have pluck to put with your luck And labor the livelong day. Progress! Promise and wealth in glorious meas ure W ill not always be for your own good pleasure; A rich golden cloak is often a. veil To luck that males a man fail.
