It was usually a eainaiion or rose and the girls were always overjoyed. We don 't know how or when he got them, hui use can draw our own conclusions.

None of us will ever forget the hard times we had struggling through our lirsi year of Alge- bra. Of course we were green little Freshies ' and when it happened that we had lo roi-in in the Assembly room, we were always so fussed and excited that we hardly knew a thing. digni- fied Seniors took a great deal of sport in tormenting us but we were able to stand it wlien aw- would look into the future and see how we would treat the Freshies of the coming v ri 's. ?-5.LCl H ,Wlien we arrived at our Sophomore year we hadqreached the stage where we did noi Eiiag hut loaf .
