Ask her to imitate Patsy Kelly for you, or any other actress, for that matter. Very good, “Georgie,” but you’ll have to control yourself if you intend to teach youngsters, or you’ll be teaching them to cut capers. Best of luck to a clever girl!

Since he hails from the shore, it is only natural that he enjoys sailing and swimming (in both of which sports he excels), with billiards and hockey thrown in for good measure.

In ability she ranks high. We know she’s going to make a fine teacher. FRED LEE HOLMES, JR. “Holmsie” “Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons. It is to grow in the open air, and to eat and sleep with the earth.” Nature Club (1). Fish and Game Club (4). Although “Holmsie” aspires to be a draftsman, his hobbies show signs of his appearing in some of our future sportsmen’s shows. He gets most of his fun out of hunting, tramping, fishing, and camping.

We wish him the best of luck! [22]
