A witty bit of sarcasm, then, “Oh, well, better days are com- ing” — and Joan’s humorous side lights up. She can be dis- tinguished by her small pit-pat steps, her little pouch pocket- book, and of course, her favorite pastime of doodling.

Walter intends to become a teacher; so perhaps your children will learn their lessons under his tutelage. ROBERT B. BLACK “Bob” “Blackie” Coolidge School And who is this distinguished-looking fellow? Why, of course. Bob Black. Bob’s quiet but pleasing personality has made him very popular among his classmates. His main interests in- clude gun-collecting and fishing, with hunting and skiing as close seconds.
