The hlkehr the thing! Every morning Lucy hauls her bike out of the attic and starts for school, in foreign lands. She not only gets here every day, but she keeps things moving after she arrives.

Everybody likes him, and he likes everybody-chemistry included. l-le studies like the Dickens, and still has time for a little fun now and then. Not averse to talk or fun. Margaret's favorite amusement is talking to a certain prominent member of the class, especially in algebra and English classes. This gentleman, however, hails from Alaska, and therefore remains cool and calm, and bears it. Her future intentions are uncertain. Junior College Club, Le Cercle Francais. I arn resolved to grow fat. Good luck to your resolution, Margaret-but- we have our doubts. Never mind, we hear that certain Yale men are tall, so let that console you.

The world is mine! Panek, the manager, is quite a handsome fellow. He is always busy, and extremely hard to Hnd when wanted Qwhen not wanted he's always aroundj. Eddy was football manager, manager of the minstrels, circulation manager of The Pennant, etc., etc. He is not a bad fellow, and is the Record's High School reporter. For that reason we like to see him argue with Wayne Hall. Panek likes to argue, anyway.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthus- iasmf' Yes, Laura has gone into every activity with enthusiasm, and every is the absolute truth. She is always rushed to death, but just the same she always has time to laugh, and also get a drink at the fountain. Her interpretation of the deaf and dumb language in the Senior Play was remarkable. Ws assure Smith College that it is going to have the addition of an all- round good sport in the fall.

She is undecided about her work next year. Minstrels two years, Chorus. Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? Mike is one of the best-liked fellows in the school. He believes in a vigorous policy in whatever he does: for instance, the rifle team and the Senior Play. Mike is also a student of Virgil, so you may see he's no dumb- bell-he really gets away pretty good. But Mike has one trouble-he is extremely bloodthirsty and cruel. Mike is a shark at chemistry, and stands in good with Mr. Westcott. And Mike is terrible in anger! Captain Football Q4j, Varsity Football QD, manager Senior Play, R. O. T.
