THE FRANCES SHIMER QUARTERLY


Obiter Dicta

Miss Tardy: Maidie, how many more times must I tell you to throw your shoulders back!

Maidie (plaintively): I've throwed 'em back as far as I can, Miss Tardy, they're fastened to me.


Mrs. Simpson: Was trieben Sie denn eigentlich in der letzen Zeit?

James: Ich weiss nicht was zu sagen.


Miss Votaw (to chorus) : Now I want all your eyes on this baton.


Ellen (after Miss Morrison has stated a theorem for the nth time): O, my, that's so long!

Miss Morrison: You ought to have it in your head!

Ellen: Where is it?


Mrs. Simpson (to H. L. who is whispering): Your neighbor doesn't need any help, Harriett.

Harriett: No, Mrs. Simpson, but I do.

Memorabilia

Venimus ad nostrum ludum,
Multae, pulchrae puellae;
Omne tempus est dedendum
Studio scientiae.
Quamvis haec sit mox oblita
Tamen longe manebunt
Memorabilia decora
Dierum qui acti sunt.

Iona Bickelhaupt, '10
