Cheers to them first of all, because they have given us in their paper the news while it is still news, and because they have taken pains to write up this news so that we tind it interesting and enjoy reading it. More cheers to them, be- cause they have given us useful infor- mation in their feature articles and feature columns. Cheers this time for their clever jokes which have provided many good laughs, and for their timely, educational editorials which have ap- pealed to our more serious nature and enabled us to get insight into world affairs.

Like their lllazer this mixer was a great success. lt was, in fact, the most suc- cessful mixer given by any organization this last year. lt was planned by a com- mittee chosen from the staff and aided by the remainder of the staff. This Blazer Mixer was held in the high school cafeteria and all college students were privileged to. attend. A banquet started the mixer and later in the evening there was dancing to a local orchestra. Tl-IE AUTUMN
