Not merely industrious, but love industry - so with purity, intelligence, loyalty, cooperation .....................................

On the verso of another card stamped 1936 is found:

Harry Lozier

Harry has a liking for western horses - one dragged him, tearing his pants.

Harry's boy called him at the foundry.  Harry answered - Boy said; "Who is this?"   Hary  recognized the voice and said, "This is the smartest man in the world." Boy said, "I guess I have the wrong number."

Notes written on verso of student card stamped 1936:

Gene Dailey:  Came in one day crying.  His mother said, "Gene, what's the matter  Gene said - "Daddy pounded his finger." "Well," said Mother, "I'd laugh at that."  Gene said, "I did."

Gene's folks were gone.  Coming home they found Gene in the kitchen.  His motehr said, "O, the cake's gone." "Gene, did you eat all that cake?"  He said, "Yes." She said, "Didn't you think of Betty and Vera?" "Yes, I was afraid they'd get back before I was through."

The Archvist thinks tht because this person had access to old student cards, the one writing  must have been someone in authority at the College.  Since the date is circa 1936 - this person might be Otho Winger, and the jokes have been used for a warm-up to a speech as well as notes about education.
