If we are a bit proud, what then? Surely we have right In our little feeling of satisfaction when we observe the walls of the Junior room, the results of our own efforts, and the incentive to other classes to go and do likewise. Can anyone blame Us tor stealing in to gaze at the tea urn so proudly bearing our name that future classes may U run and read our love to ,Xlma Nlater?
