With the true spirit, she sings our Alma Mater and also that of St. Joseph's College. Very greatly interested in literary work, Miss Campion has been a great help to our Senior Literary Society. Unfortunately, she only teachers Freshman English, so we have not had her in any class. Many thanks for helping our Society. MR. MICHAEL O'LEARY Mr. O'Leary, assistant commercial teacher, is a graduate of Portsmouth, N. H. High School and also University of New Hampshire. If you couldnlt study when Mr. O'Leary had charge of the S. H. it was your own fault because he sure did insist on order and never failed to get it. '25 will sure miss Stop Your Talking. MR.
