Her next lecture will be entitled How to eat peas with a knife.” Miss Purvis Buys New Car Altho Miss Ella Purvis is not a member of our illustrious class, it might be interesting to note that sbe has purchased a 1929 model Mercedes which she drives herself.

Editorial The purpose of The Alumnus is to keep the members of the class of Jan. ’18 in touch with each other, so the Senior Magnet Committee has decided to edite the paper annually every decade, this being the first issue.
