Mid:Year Graduates A Class C34dLii.fBll'lIfIiiim'lI,lI We are happy to have included in the list of the numbers of the Class of 1925 the names of three who completed their work at the end of the first semester and left our midst. It was not with regret that we learned that they had attained the credits necessary for graduation, but we were sorry that they deemed it best not to remain with us for the rest of the year. We assure them that though they were gone, they were not forgotten. Gertrude Kent, Ada Long and Clark Burgess composed this trio.
