For some strange and unaccountable reason she generally arrives first in the Gym, at half past one. Her energetic speed also shows itself in another way, for no matter how early one comes to school, Sally is sure to be there, from which fact it might be surmised that she believes in that famous saying about the bird, which, in this case should read: L'The early girl masters the Latin. Sally goes out with zest for hockey, and with fits and starts for basketball.

The thief turned out to be a charming young lady by name of Miss Katharine Irwin. Her trial will take place soon, and as there is a male jury, it is expected that she will be let off easily. Below this was another startling article: Gym, teacher breaks neck! Miss Mary Agnes Holbrook, gym. teacher at the Brimmer School tripped over a match yesterday. Physicians assert that she suffers from a broken neck, but will recover.
