She always gets her lessons, and in the morning when some of the rest of us reach school and sud- denly realize we have neg- - KR?,,s,.31 lected our lessons, we always 1 go to Ruth, for she is kind enough to tell us all about them. lf Ruth isn't your friend you certainly have missed something for she is an old-time pal. At basket- ball she is a wonder and when she sits down to the piano, she just makes it simply talk to you. JENNIE W1LL1AMsoN 1XlClXl1CHAEL Age 18. Weight 135. Height 5 ft. 5 in.

Well, thatis the Bruce we are writ- ing about. He is a perfect V genius with his violin, but it is very hard to persuade him to play for us, especially when any of the other sex is about. He doesn't let music take all his time either, for he stands well in his studies, too. Whatever Bruce un- dertakes, in the future, we know he will succeed. w LoU1sE O-wENs Age 16. Weight 105.
