The clai as was indi(ferent---all save Jessie, whose pencil was seen galloping across sheet after sheet of clean white tablet paper Verily a half page was consumed. Later in the history room a blank indescribable expression was observed on Jess' face for somehow her answers didn't fit the questions. She is a pianist of no little ability and for two years has been accompanist for the Gifts' Chorus. , , . ,, Uncertain, coy and hard to please and variable as any shade .. By the light quivering aspen made. A7.RA MARTIN PHIUPPS Azra is a generous little fellow and is well liked by everyone. Just because he is not six feet tall every body picks on him.'

LILA CREEL SINSEL Lila is the greatest giggler in the class; she even surpasses Carrie in that art. She giggles at everything and giggles at nothing.
