Dear Twin: Ever since I've been up here I've longed and looked forward to the time when I would be graduated and now it's here. I honestly believe I hate it. Ginger, I've had so much good old fun with the girls here at the dorm that I hate to leave almost as much as I did when I left home to come up here. A few of us met in my room the other day and swore alleg- iance QI think we're all feeling pretty blue about ith, but you know how it is, we'll dri-ft apart and have different interests and everything. It would be fun if we could look ahead a few years and see just what and where we'l1 be. It's a favorite pastime for us to sit around and surmise on the subject. But we always end up with but I never will forget the time we had the fudge party and the lights went out, and we upset it, or something like that. I wonder if I ever will have as much fun again, but there, Ginger dear, knowing your optimistic nature, I won't burden you any longer with this sob story, but that's just the way I feel about it, anyway. Lovingly, TWIN. Dear Twin: Well, our Glee club trip is over and we're back home. It was a wonderful trip and we had the time of our life, but be- lieve you me, we were glad to get back to old N. A. N. S. It was a state-wide tour, but we didn't see anything that looked as good to us as Flagstaff. Well, we left here Friday morning early and went to Pres- cott. That night we had a performance at Whipple barracks. The next day we went to Phoenix and there heard Galli-Curci sing. Sunday We were the guests of the Tempe Normal and they treated us royally. Monday we were in Tucson, where, I believe, we were appreciated. Our next stop was Tombstone where we had trouble regular with one of the cars and had to leave it t-o follow later. Tombstone welcomed us in a princely fashion. From there we went to Douglas and performed on a regular theater stage. The sight-seeing trip across the line to Old Mex- ico was absolutely the best thing. We had lunch over there and one of the girls ordered butter and they brought her beer! From Douglas we went to Bisbee. We had a large and ap- preciative audience there. The performance at Florence was the last and a huge suc- cess. I wish I could make you realize how nicely we were treated everywhere. You know we stayed in private homes most of the nights. Well, on the way back the car trouble did begin. Ask Dotty, she pushed Professor Ridgely's car 'down Center street in Phoenix for him. We camped on the desert one night, which was a very thrilling experience. A snake made it more so. fSo kind of him.J Well, after many trials and tribulations and much fun rolled in around about 9:30 and the rest at 1:00 o'clock. Punctures caused the delay of the last bunch. Well, that's that. It isn't half told and I'll just have to tell the rest when I get back home. , Lovingly, YOUR TWIN. Thirty-Six

Dear Twin: Yesterday was Washington's birthday and the school cele- brated by going on a picnic to Lake Mary. A group of the girls hiked out, but not this child. The lap of luxury in the form of the school truck claimed me for its own-or maybe I claimed it, anyway that's the way I got there. We had oodles of fun going out. We sang and teased and cut up all the way. We hadn't been there ten minutes when Calamity Jane tore her trousers. Did you ever see me go anywhere and come back whole? The morning was spent in a kind of field track, the different classes representing various colleges. I belonged to The Pine Nut College, and it won the banner. Don't draw the wrong conclusion and feel that the victory was wholly due to my efforts, for that wasn't it at alll We had a wonderful turkey dinner and I ate until-well, un- til it was painful to navigate. The rest of the afternoon we just loafed around, while the rest of them played ball. The Super Six Cthat's our secret society that isn't a secret and will become the Super Seven as soon as we can browbeat some one else into joiningb climbed up on a hill overlooking the lake. Ginger, it was wonderful! The pines and hills, and down below the lake spread out like thick blue velvet. It was so quiet and so still with only an occasional voice from the picnic grounds wafted up through the still, cool air. Am I getting flowery? Well, never mind, you would have, too, you couldn't help it. The primeval beauty of it all went to the head of our most prosaic member and held her mute for at lease three- quarters of an hour! We had a dance the other day in the auditorium, or I should have said the other night, and we had lots of fun. These occasional dances are leaven to solid days spent in pursuit of knowledge. Don't smile out loud, now. We do study hard. You can't get by in this tabernacle of learning without it! The great god Bluff is absolutely in bad standing here, which makes it extra hard on me. We've had a world of fun in the dining hall this last week. One of the girls got a book on etiquette out of the library, for the purpose of settling a dispute about which side of a dining chair you should sit down from and which side you get up from ffollow your right hand through in case you don't know, and I'll bet you don'tJ. It was published in 1873 and gave .us such charming bits of information as: Don't eat with your knife, or sit a-straddle of your chair. It isn't done in the best c1rc es. Of course we had to get a modern one to answer our ques- tion, but it furnished alot of fun, and we all have reached the conclusion that the world must have advanced some since that was written. I'm sleepy and tomorrow's a school day. Why didn't you write this week? Your affectionate TWIN. Thirty-Five
