Some Special Over Cooks Zwirp Season Each year M. A. H. S. boys look forward to the second week in February when twirp (the woman is requested to pay) season is ob¬ served. This means that the girls must pay all bills and extend all the courtesies that are ordinarily the responsibilities of the boys.
