Shortly aft-r the test wds ever we passed our papers - J in and the tevcher started to correct then. However, she i could not fini the questions which she had asked usj in- stead sho found the enswers.' Evidently the questions and ' answers had traded places. n . After we finished there, we passed to Algebra class. We were asked to chinge papers and correct them. When I passed my paper ever to be corrected, I knew that there were two problems which L had loft unfinished. However, when I received my paper, the mark et the top was one- hundrcd por cent. - xl At first l was very much amazed and thought there , had been e mistake. On second thought l remembered the incident in my latter close and looked again at the hand- writigg on my paper.

Thus, when he received his pa- per, the mark urs eidhty ge: cent. No one seemed to know at the time just what had caused this, but lately L have hoard remarks made that it was caused from n slight earthquake vhich shook the world at certain intervals of the day for e week. , - Annie-Mitchell '42 -' r r f-1 - -r- H - If-lf, :,itAff.5Qs One nitht I watched 5 skating party Dgvn on the smooth and glistening stream, The figures darted to- end frog .
