Miss Lela Oswald had launched on the popular sea of matrimniy, and the Misses Beatrice Shaw and Nettie Hyder had departed for Elma and Satsop, respectively. Also at the end of the first semes'er Miss Edith Musgrove was attracted' by the sea air of the harbor, and this left another vacancy. ln the third year, three exceptionally intelligent members-the editor hlnshes-Mr. Robert Bachelor, and the Misses Helen Shnll and Isahel Myers, quickened their pace, joined the Senior Class, and so finished the high school course in three years.
