From the time the doors of 328 are opened to eager customers, till the day when the bulletin echoes the names of the absent- minded, the Ring Committee is faced with orders, complaints, trials, and tribulations. 0 4 One thing the members do learn about during their term is human nature. They meet all kinds. For instance the Silas Mar- ner of the school who brings his fortune in small denominations-pennies. Then, there is the complainer whose ring is too big. There are always a few skeptics. They pull the ring, push it, bang it, and drop it making sure .theirs isn't a dud. Of course, no pur- chase is ever complete without the returnees. whose war cry is : My ring is fading away Can't understand it. Our Worthy ring man always solves that problem by either proving the ring was unconsciously dipped in sulfuric acid, or accidently coated with a generous amount of mercury. But through all the complaints, through all the bulletins inform- ing us that the Ring Man will return just one more time the Ring Committee emerges victorious and successful.

This year Mr. McCormick, head of Roxbury's language department, enlightened the boys of the Spanish Club on Spainis national sport of l'1L'l'fightiI1g.
