Bani ae ne aia hina RATER Dynamite comes in small packages Dynamite comes in small packages. And there is a dynamic group of students here who more than make up for any shortage of inches. ‘“‘Even if I am short, I can still play basketball,’ said Jeannie Brooks who is on the Lady Lion Varsity team. ‘‘Who wants to have to duck under door facings anyway?” she quipped.

She may be short, | but the length of her conversations make?! up for her size.

MOST EVERYONE KNOWS Buffie CANDEE CAIN CAME with her own Bridges by “Buffie” but few know her real special name, and it’s a wonder that name.
