back shop genius,

Shore, having taken time off from his duties as game warden of Potter's pond, has recently perfected a device to put the "squitch" on nodding in class. The sleepy student can now obtain the mechanical marvel, dubbed the Doze Dozler, which makes the dullest class impossible to sleep through.
Then the potato is removed. When the student's chin falls on the bulb of the ye dropper the ammonia squirts out over the neck and chest and the fumes are wafted up to the nose.
A nose dropper, suspended around the neck by a cord, (which may be had in red, white, or blue), is filled with a strong solution of ammonia. The end of the dropper is covered with a potato until the urge to sleep overtakes the student.

SUMMER SESSION Slip-Ups by Walt Meininger
Worst Fourth of July tragedy to strike Mt. Oread; Leffingwell Postlethwaite is forced to spend three days in bed with the stomoch ache as a result of eating green plums. To make it more tragic those were the three days best girl Jean Robertson was in town.
And we hereby surrender unconditionally to the printers. After watching them like hawks last week they ran in Spitbergen, (the most northerly city), Schiller Shore's travesty on decent verse, (Tree Itty Teachers), and a two-line filler asking us for more copy. All we got out of that short-lived feud was a headache from reading type backwards.
Mid-semester quizzes after three short weeks of school. Gad!
From what we understand of life in the army camps this summer according to reports from Sheridan and Leavenworth we see where we made a mistake when we became discouraged with the nine-pound rifle back in high school.
And we saw some girls using an eyelash curler the other day. There went our last vestige of faith in women.
