Deep in our memories, thoughts of all those successful plays will ever remain . . . Practise hard and be rewarded” is the lesson none of the male students will ever forget, for it is a constant reminder of ROBERT CRISWELL. a very popular physical training instructor . . . That cry has also reached the young women athletes of each gymnasium class, and we find MARGARET CROSS, not only training the maidens in keeping physically fit. but helping us in many other activities as well . . . Thcro is he whom we shall never forget, who will be brought back into our lives each time we hear great music, our maestro, ACHILLES D'AMICO.
