THE NAUGHT-NINE GAL garded as the finest quality of yeast in the country. Every Knox man who swallows it is bound to rise. Every fall some prep student walks into town and every spring some alumnus comes back to commencement in a private car. It is generally an alumnus who walked into town, too. This concludes the tour, friends. I regret that I cannot show you the brass plate whlch marks the spot where S S McClure once debated the question of pure milk wlth a cow o the spot where John Fmley once sawed into lns thumb 1nstead of into a hickory knot the hall where Robert Mather once re cited Spartacus or the lunch counter where Ed Bancroft fed on blueberry pie every night after hterary society You must hunt these out for yourselves All out' X A li' gi, ICH . . .
