Witty to talk until. And pleasant to think on. Although this is Ada’s first year with us, we consider ourselves very fortunate. She, by her attractive and winning per- sonality, has won many friends. Ada is a good sport, and takes much interest in athletics. She is a follower of the Epicurean School and believes firmly in the old saying: ' Eat, drink, and be merry for to-morrow ye may die.” Such a girl as she will get much out of life.
