Co. Goodness they certainly had plenty of pep at school, but I never dreamed that they'd be boxing it up to sell. F. R.- l-la, ha-listen, Lionel Pomoroy has the honor of being the only member of his class to hold efficiently two positions. l'le is driving the hard taclc bread truck and smolcing cigars for the White Owl people at the same time. l'll bet he got his start smolcing cigars at the Senior play. E. L.- Why, Zeb, they've got a court now in Pittsfield. The newly established court in Pittsfield has been very busy these days. lt's latest verdict in the Broolcs- Gould vs. Holt case was favorable to both parties. The magnetic lady lawyer, Marion Hollis, proved very decisively that the name 'Ye Little Cousins Shoppe' given to the tea room owned by Verna and Reta Holt was no encrouchment on the copyrighted name 'Ye Little Cousins Shop' owned by Freda Gould and Thora Broolcs. Miss l-lollis stated that the names were in no way similar for the Holt cousins spell their shop with two 'p's' and an 'ef F.

Nladilene Bradford, a graduate of Westbroolc College, has accepted a position as medical secretary to the promising young physician, Dr. l-lalver Badger.

CLASS DDEM Here at the cross-roads we've come at last, Our worlc is ended, our dream is past. Fields before us unconquered lie, We'll attaclc them with vigor, not with a sigh. A million tomorrows for one yesterday, That is the price we gladly would pay To be entering again these halls so dear Filled with glad mem'ries, never a fear. Lessons and friendships have brought us much, Those are treasures no man can touch. Thus, with heads held erect and high, We pledge our hearts to M. C. l. Seelc the high road, that is our goal, Through success and failure as future years roll. As we climb the steep trails on each life's highway, May courage and honor guide us each day. Farewell, Alma Mater, we'll remain true To the ideals you have taught us, to the friends that we lcnew, And now we glance baclcward, at farewell we sigh, An interlude endecl-Alma Mater, goodbye.
