To the music teachers we leave the memory of our musical voices, it be- ing like a bubbling stream of musical talent. To the Science teachers we leave all knowledge of frogs, Warts, bacteria protozoa and especially 'yissionu To the English teachers we leave all Gods of the Odyssey and other lit- erature Cwe would have left our very dear dictionary of modern slang, but we felt that our English teachers would not make able use of it.l Last, but not least, and in all seriousness, we leave the one thing our successors will appreciate most and trust it may be prized by them as it has been by us - it is a warm place in the hearts of our teachers.

I am to be photo- graphed tomorrow, and how will I look without a tail? I am sure you will find it, replied the clock, Ask the Chalk and Erasers to help, A but he got no further for the mouse cried, Here it is, here it is, it was over here behind the waste paper basket. Well, well, said the clock, who would have thought it was there ? But, how will I put it on? said the mouse, beginnining to cry. You will have to tie it on with some pretty ribbon, said the clock. That's just the thing, exclaimedthe mouse as he ran away. Q Well he's happy at any rate, said the clock to himself. I guess I'll g0 to sleep HOW. ELLA C. Fslocx, TA2. F5 H
