attained the height of musical perfection in the rendition of the “Swan Song.” One of the most pleasing minor roles in the opera was taken by Miss Ger¬ trude Hobbs. Miss Ilobbs is a rather new figure in the musical world, but :t is expected that before long she will be taking leading roles. Troy Ziglar, commander of the Salvation Army, has petitioned Chief of Police Crews for the arrest of Elizabeth Umberger and Cecile Lindau, chorus girls, because they persuaded Irene Hester, one of his former members, to join their chorus. The island’s proudest possessions are Mike and Timothy, the adorable twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Pat Kelly. Mrs. Kelly, nee lone Grogan, declares that were her boys girls, she would drown them.

Miss Elizabeth Crews, the Anna Howard Shaw of the island, is chief of police and has as her able assistant Mr. Raymond Bennett. .Mr. Bennett’s wife, nee Nelda Cox, has won not a little fame as chief librarian in the Talk-All-You- Want-To Library. Mrs. Bennett credits all her knowledge of library work lo her training in G. H. S. Mr. Lattis Johnson, superintendent of public schools, has announced that after the first of the year Mr. Robert Bishop, professor of mathematics, will succeed James Peterson as principal of the high school.

Coach Smith is rather worried, because not long ago Dr. Edward MeNeeley, professor of philosophy, was arrested and given two years for the same offense. Miss Carolyn Simmons has recently opened a beauty parlor directly across from Joe Faulkner’s barber shop. Mr. Paul Scurloek, author and radio announcer, has dedicated his most recent book, “The Reward of Silence,” to Mrs. Chester Strader, nee Margaret Crews, wife of the wealthy chewing-gum manufacturer.

Miss Murray herself is tight-rope walker in the Phillips Memorial Circus. Not only does she break the tightest ropes, but also the hearts of all the men who look upon her fair countenance. As Miss Murray holds a tiny parasol above her head while she balances on one foot on the rope, there is a dreamy look on her face—as though she were thinking perhaps of Bill, and—oh, well, most of the boys at Carolina.
