Bernice was a very small baby indeed, and hasn't grown very much since, nor has he changed Ills babyish ways. He was a very remarkable child as you all know. At the age of H years he was att.cived by a mad rooster, but he was not afraid for he pulled up a nearby tree and gave the rooster a sound thrashing. A' the age of 4 days he began to talk very intelligently and is talking yet. He will talk for uson commencement night, for he has become our “honored class president. ’ “Give me a place to stand and I will move the world.’ —Fred B. Romine.

But for some cause, which Is beyond our means of knowing, he got a set-back in his early youth and he lias never gro.vn to be u joung giant as his mother had anticipated.
