We enjoyed ourselves immensely but were over- joyed to get home to soak our feet in hot Water. May 21 - Our Worries have been few since January 22nd, which was the date of our last exams, but We are facing them again for the last time in M.H,S. CWe hopel June 1 - Marshall's largest graduating class attended services at the Baptist Church with Rev. H. A. Sodergren as the speaker. .

Well, all things must come to an end. AUDR EY LLOYD
