Miss Dawson: Wrho was Caesar? (many students wave their hands and yell, “Lem-me tell you.”)
Jessie: "Aw! Miss Dawson, lemme tell ya.”
Leverne: ‘‘Say, shut up, you don’t want her to find out that you picked out saw dust instead of brains, do you?”
Miss Dawson: “All right, Jessie, Who was Caesar?”
Jessie: "He’s the guy that Shake-A-Spear put in the play, sq somebody could get killed.”
Miss Dawson: “That’s right. Now, who was Brutus?”
Jessie: “Let’s see,—er—a—er—Oh! he was the fellow who led the wha-cha-call-it?—Conspigarius?”
Miss Dawson: "Jessie, what in the world are you trying to say, conspiracy?”

Miss Dawson: “All right, Leroy.”

Albert: “Well, but suppose we don’t want to learn about ’em.”
Lester: “Now, just listen to “pretty boy” —he’s been in the remote part of the country so long, he thinks everybody is dumb like he is. I like Literature. Gee! I’ve learnt so much from it, and it’s entertaining, too, teaches you about other people in foreign countries.”
Leverne: “Ho! Ho! About the only people you’ve learnt of are Creoles and all you know about foreign countries is Catahoula, ain’t it, Jessie?”
