However it comes in handy in French class. W hen Evie delivers her answer in that soft and low drawl, we can’t hear to tell whether it’s right or wrong, so we give her the benefit of the doubt. Can she dance? It’s no effort for Evie to dance, it’s an inborn impulse. Chorus I); l.atin Club (2): Le Ccrcle Francais (4) ; Hi-Y (3. 4); Class Nominating Committee (4). LEROY L. J.
