But A4, as a class, is noted for its fondness for amuse- ments. Our dearest sport was Captain Ball. which so filled our minds during the first part of the term that the teachers tore their hair in rage that such a thing should be.

But when things were getting a little bit too sleepy. we were usually aroused by a violent sneeze, and a voice demanding that the door be closed. she felt a dranO'ht.
