Ji 1 ffx' ' ,fax HELEN BRUSEKE Springfield, Illinois HDUHW be dmndf' M,-we l all ma.: . ef- ' Xow just he good till l come. and don't make any noise. X'X'ith these instruc- tions Helen's mother left the shy lxalmy of the liruseke family to work out her education at S. H. A. 'l'his first venture forth from parental care was a hit tragicg Helen missed her mother's apron strings sadly. Indeed. so timid was she that when the first hell rang for ranks she found herself without a partner. All this, ot course, happened four long years ago. Helen still doesn't make much noise, hut now the partners are engaged for months ahead ot time. An ounce of prevention saves Miss Bruseke many an embarrassment. XYith three clean handker- ehiets in one corner of her desk a11d an aspirin carefully concealed in another, Helen is prepared for a day at school. Never would she feel quite safe without this Hrst-aid kit. One simply can't he eertain ahout headaches and faints, you see. But Helen doesn't use all her wise foresight just for her 'lownseltf' To save them from trouhle's deadly clutches, Helen admonishes the mischieffdoers with untiring energy, Since the juniors are the olijects of her special attention, we expect next year's Seniors to he quite perfect-like us. Prompt and precise in everything from giggling to paying her class dues, she might easily pose as Class '27's most practical memlmer, ln tact, we'd have to say all nice things about Helen were it not for two noisy failings: a mania for typing and a fond- ness for loud hosiery. The click, click of the typewriter must hold charms for Helen or else how could she produce so many perfect copies? The other failing creates every hit as much envy. One Monday she came to school wearing a pair that took her all Faturday to purchase. Vile have heard that Helen grieves not a little over leaving S. H. A. VVe wonder just what her lot is to he. 'XYhether she will he an economical little housewife buying her groceries at the l'iggly thecause you get morej or a happy little maiden lady wearing? gay hosiery, we aren't quite Certain. VVhatever it may he, Helen, we're inf terester. Ifiglllfm
