H ESCRIBEo1938-1939 SO-AND-SO After struggling through forty-four senior write-ups, the literary board was ready to give up and go nuts. If we had to write another this would be the result: SO-AND-SO comes from Our Town, having attended Mrs. Petti- bone's-by-the-Brook, Gallup Academy, and The Van Snoot Seminary-but why should we care where she comes from?- we'll never see her again, we hope. She's just another dull child in the senior class whom we have to make devastating She's as graceful as a member ot the faculty ballet, and she's as vivacious as a turtle.
