CIERULEA man that thinks he knows it all; twice: a Senior that Finds he don't know nothin'. The first is the happiest; the Second is the saddest day in all his daze. It are an law oi natur, that green things is the brightest and happiest. When a fellow gits to be a Senior he begins to get old. He reckons he don't amount to nothiif, and he haukurs after a pretty girl to be his wife and make his living. Seniors, don't act like your predecessorics and git hooked up. Come on to collegc, The watris fine. We'd be glad to see you. Take your Uncle Si's word for it. Yours, with happy recollections, Earl McDermont. Mills College, California. My Dear :: Mills is a glorious college about six miles from Oakland, The campus is beautiful. No ocean near, to be sure, but instead a hundred and iifty acres of grand trees and green hills. There are one hundred and twenty-five girls enrolled, and as there are but two dormitories you can imagine that the college life you read about in books isnil lacking here; But with it all comes study, study, study, for, as the classes are small, it is absolutely hopeless to go to a recitation unprepared. And thafs not what weH-u here for. Some of you professional ubluffers may laugh at this, but if you ever come to Millswwell, we shall watch for your reports. llclievc me, Mills is a great college, and i am beginning to love it as I did old Long Beach High. Your ever loyal. Ruth J. Craig. Page Thlriy
