MRS. FITTS' classes lind her more lhan an ellicienl, capable leacher. They know her as a real lriend. Perhaps lhis is because she doesn'l give week-end assignmenls or, maybe, il's because she really likes us as individual people. Thal's why she's so good wilh our personalily lesls and why she works so hard lrying lo gel us inlo lhe Scholar- ship sociely. Jovial, beloved MR.
