She has gone to business college This helpful and willing lass. Now there are only two left, Why who could they be? You surely must know by this It's Towlie and me. We too will graduate in June, Girl-Teresa Knox, '29. Boy-Robert Hill, '26. Most Dignified Girls-Mildred. Thomp- son, 28, Viola Rounds, '29.
