ALGON KEITH Perhaps he isn’t the person picked out as the most talkative in the class, yet we all know that “All pones’ ” good sense and faithfulness will make him firm friends and admirers. Those of us who do talk perhaps too much are comforted at finding one who knows how to keep quiet. Track (4). D. BRADFORD RILE Since the beginning of time red hair has been a mark of distinction.
