June Skarin just leaves, and why not, when all the rest of us are clearing out? Grace Warkins leaves her little feet to Donna who raves about her number Heightsn. Roberta Wildman goes away wishing that she had work to her credit in geography, because she surely would like to know what kind of country they have out in Nebraska.

S. procedure--go to the office, tell Mr. Layman about itg he'll listen, but see if he'll change it! PROMISE Soon now, these amber days will end, Leaving the forests stark and bare Lifting giant arms unto a somber sky And nowhere in all the land will there Be evidence of the glory that has passed-- . Except the ageless dreams that live Within the trusting hearts of men, And legends that will always give Courage to those who doubt, until The first green swelling buds will bring with sun-filled skies of flawless blue, The promise of another, lovelier spring.
