NORMAL OFFERING 27 balcony in Room 11 So much so. we were neither seen nor heard until- that inappropriate sneeze of John's echoed through the room. It was then necessary to tiptoe down the creaky stairs to our chairs, convulsed with suppressed laughter. January 17. Today proved quite lucky for us. The lucky piece of paper was drawn in Assembly by a member of the class. We were the winners of the jars of preserves and marmalade donated to the school to help the Louvain Library fund drive. The amount raised helped swell our quota, which, owing to the patronizing of the activi- ties of the other classes, had been small. February 2. Again we have occasion to feel proud of John and James. They were presented with letters for their excellent work during the football season. Keep up the good work, boys, and spread the name of B. N. S.! February 27. Yes, Class A fully understands and can interpret the barometer, especially the kind that has two people coming out of a door, when there is a change in the weather. When the old lady comes outj' our instructor commenced, I judge there will be- , HA storm, interrupted John. Although we are but a small group and take but a small part in the affairs of this large school, we feel that the spirit of B. N. S. is vlnspfireri in Class A. We are enjoying the work very much and find we have much yet to learn. Even though there are plenty of lessons to keep us busy, we find time to participate in the social events of the school. All in all this has been a successful and pleasant year. Soon a day will arrive which will find us awaiting with eagerness the de- grees for which we are now striving. CLASS ROLL.

What's the trouble, Henry ? inquired a girl of about nineteen years, as she addressed a young man seated near the back of the psychology class. . '4Don't ask me, replied Henry. I guess the strain of trying to collect class dues, along with tending to the N. A. A. accounts, is be- ginning to tell on me. I feel myself failing rapidly. Cheer up, Hen. If that is the case, we'll have to elect a new treasurer, that's all. It was this conversation that brought about the election of a new treasurer, while the other Class B officers were re-elected. With blue and gold as class colors and with the following officers, Class B start- ed on its career. President, S. Louise Dickinson Vice-President, Ruth Hunt Secretary, Elsie G. McPhee Treasurer, Frances M. Nash Historian, Anna lVI. Brady And now, Gentle Reader, perhaps a brief resume of the past history of the class may be in order.
