With a slight advantage of time, Jackie dashed into the room and bolted the door. Then he unlocked the door which led to the large room in which sat his enemy. Next he opened the door of the room and looked straight into the face of the amazed officer. Before the Nazi could draw a revolver from the desk drawer,Jackie whipped out a knife and with deadly accuracy aimed at his hater. The German fell dead.

PROUD APOLOGY In April the skylight room became the site of a battle undertaken and waged intermittently on holidays and Saturdays, and in study periods. It was here that Miss Stewart and Bill Duffy culled and discarded for the literary section.
