When we hear the high-pitched rattle of the bell we wander in an indolent man- ner to our seats, and after opening ceremonies of yawning, stretching, andgroaning, fall into the morning coma. - The day being Tuesday we 'are tampered with by a Normal Student.i By the end of the dismal period, Mr. Bamforth knows that student and pupils know nothing of Botany. We next go to Physical Torture where hlr. Craig tries to mould our puny physiques after Mr. Bamforth's. This is quite impossible.

Elsie Blartin bounced up, and upon close inspection. it was disclosed one orb was tinted a pale blue. She fell over a straw-those things are immense you know. Dorothy Blade arriving on the scene with Jean ltlatchett, chirupped- Here has been dawning another black eye. 'l'hink-wilt thou let it fade useless away? Out of eternity the shiner was born. Into eternity again 'twill return. Jean ltlatehett. in a rumble that could not have been heard over three blocks away, said, Dont be so rude. Norma Dunbar, looking as brave as a deer about to take flight, was clutching the hand of lladelyn rllhompson, who was eoyly peeking around the corner. Such drivelf' snorted .lean Blewitt. You never can tell about Jean. :1 girl of contradictions is she. Audrey lloig espied Violet Stanley, threw her arms about the fond girl's neck and twittered. Do you love me?
