There Is no denying the fact that Hazel Is one of the most conscien- tious girls in the class about getting her lessons. As a usual thing she is surrounded by an eager crowd of students ( V» to whom she imparts her knowledge. To counteract her great liking for lessons, she seems to have a deep aversion for boys.
