We think Al had basketballitis of the most virulent type. At any rate, it made him a good captain. In class, he delivered sensible opinions in a calm voice and that was that. Occas- ionally we heard rumors of Reilley's Blues . They must have been musical onesg he could have no others. 4 ROBERT FRANCIS SHEA 309 North Avenue, North Abington, Mass. N. A. A.

Someone once called Bob our Beau Brummell and John Barrymore, unfortunately con- demned to the prosaic profession of teaching school-at which, however, he does well. Bob is an authority on subjects as diverse as the negro question and the bus problem, but we liked him best for not insisting on telling all he knew. OUTSIDE TRAINING Training is one of the bitter sweets of Normal School. XVhen it is happening, it is drudg- eryg when it is past, it is delight. As I look back I forget the countless papers I had to cor- rect, the natural but exasperating restlessness of the children, the nerve-racking worry. Wlhat lingers in my memory now is the fun and originality of the little themes, the childish devotion to teacher , and the restful peace at the end of a day's work successfully done. RACHEL S.
