She realizes that the thoughts and habits we form in childhood go with us thru life. Yes, replied Mac, your statement is very true. Each of our instructors plays an important part in the formation of our characters, for it is the young and tender years of our life that are spent in school under their influence.

That's great, Sully, who- Wait a minute-this is best: I-lere's to Mr. Layman, the student body pet, In a race of-jokes, he wins, you bet! I-lere's to Mrs. Smith, who lately did embark, Upon a tranquil sea in Matrimonial Ark. I-lere's to Professeur, who lately est venu, Endowing R. I-I.
