MISS BLANCHE KARNS— She teaches Latin will: the thoughl of a nice ride in her Buick helping her througli the day. liefore she bought her car she knew a lot about science, art, music, etc. We believe she still knows just as much; but, jtist the .same, the Uuick holds first place in her heart and mind. MR. BYRON HENDERSON— Little but mighty. S].anish and I ' rench he doth speak fluently. He is so meek and mannerly v have all grown quite fond of him. But alas, his heart is elsewhere!

She also lias a great deal of kiutwledge about civics and economics. She is the soi-f of teadiei- you want to work f(u- and you usually do.
