LORRAINE GERTRUDE O'NEIL Lively Lulu thinks she may join the Marines, and if she does, is that boot-camp going to be amused! Talking in Mr. Ryan's class has exhausted herg so, after graduating, she's going to take a vacation.

After gradua- tion she plans to become a sec- retary, but when the war ends and the fleet's tied up, she'll become a loving wife. HENRY CLIFFORD PATCHIN Birdie's skill with machinery and his willingness to work hard will make him a valuable man in some war plant.

Holyoke College enjoy Nancy's sweet smile and sunny disposi- tion as much as we have, but they had better not shorten her X periods so she can't get her homework done, or else! ESTHER LOUISE PORAZZO Esther hurried from school all year to her job of drilling holes in bomb shells. During X periods she was an energetic war-stamp seller. Surely, such patriotism ought to be reward- ed with a nice blue-eyed sailor. NANCY PUTNAM When Don comes marching home with the Marines after the war, Put's going to have herself a good time. If she makes as big a hit with the world as she did as Julie in June Mad, she'll be doing all right for herself.
