Faculty As Seen By the Seniors
Seniors praise faculty across traits from concentration and wit to helpfulness and leadership. They describe Mrs Dean as capable and focused, Miss Drake as witty and aspirational, Mrs Summerville as action oriented, and Coach Hammons as pushing cooperation.
Interference and banter in a run of odd lines
A playful series of exchanges riffs on relationships jobs and humor. The dialogue references Army football Navy, bill posters, a magician’s assistant, a sawing act, nightsticks, and a coffee joke ending with a needle haystack gag.
Chinese cook and bear encounter in the woods
A Chinese cook wanders a wood and is followed by a grizzly bear smelling his trail. He mutters in a mock accent about cooking more and tasting the trek, ending with a mock boast of making more.
