Miss Waddell 111 Dr. Cretzinger 104 and lMiss Altsman 209 were our guiding lights. We were much happier when some of us were recombined under the leadership of Miss Waddell in the last half of our Junior Year. As the pine began to smoke the fireplace sent forth huge smoke rings which brought to mind the day we got Page Twentyasix I.. S Q A xr he is v a v X . 1 . W .Y 4 - c I-I x .
