New Changes
During the summer vacation W. H. S. experienced' many new improvements. As we entered the main doors the first day of school, we saw some enlightening in the hallways. They had been repainted in a pale green and the floors, too, had been waxed so the students could get to their classes faster. And on the main floor we saw a bright red fire alarm. We saw that we have some new ceilings in 206, 308 and Home Ec. Room. In the Home Ec. room we discovered we have two new stoves and a new refrigerator, also. Now girls let's show the boys some good :tome cooking.
Down on the first floor we now notice Mr. Weaver's new office. That's about all the improvements this year. We'll be looking for more next year.

Kind Old Soul
The truck driver stopped and picked up the old country lady who was standing at the edge of the highway. "To heck with regulations he muttered under his breath. At last, after traveling about eight miles he turned to her and said, "Madam, where shall I let you out?"
The old lady looked up at him with a smile on her face, and replied, "Bless you, sir. I was going the other way but I didn't like to hurt your feelings."

Suspect
Three suspects were lined up before Lieutenant Mulligan of the Homicide Squad. "Which one of you guys grabbed the victim, lifted him in the air, and threw him off the roof of a ten-story building? The lieutenant snarled. "Whodunit?"
"Why I wouldn't hurt a fly," the first protested.
"I wouldn't hurt a fly either," declared the second.
The third hesitated and the lieutenant looked hopeful.
"How about you?" he demanded. "Would you hurt a fly?" "Yes, I would," the third admitted. "In fact, I've wanted to. But I’ve never been very strong."
