Dick Hopping leaves the latest dance, the Boxford Bump—I mean the Boxford Jump—to Herbert Sperry, who, no doubt, could use it. ’Tis rumored that Lea McArthur, the small girl with the big heart, wants to leave to Shirley Richardson her baby-like ways. William Welch bestows upon Arthur Temple and Robert Marshall his com¬ prehensive, but somewhat home-made, vocabulary. Eva Casale and Eva Walsh give to Caroline Hayman and Joan Fitzgerald hints on how to fare well in studies. Barbara Fenton can only hope that her sister will be as reserved and quiet as she is—if possible! Fred Kaufmann has enough power in his speech to amply supply John Barn- ford and Kenneth Dearden. The whole third year domestic arts class, made up of Lillian Winning and Evelyn Elston, receive the complete fourth year domestic arts notebook of Etta Marshall.

We have no fear that he will refuse it. (How about it, Harry?) Ruth Cohen bequeaths to Frances Payne her contagious giggle.
