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.
