: 'ia en- p 38 The SCRAPPER ADVENTURES OF SUE, THE SENIOR Awake betimes to listen to the pounding of the typewriter and the turning of many a well worn page. For a minute Sue thinks its all a night-mare. Then she realizes that the end of school is near and with it comes that last mad rush. With a groan she gets out of bed, for she too is one of the unfortunates who is still short two book reports, one theme, and several tests Ho hum! What a life! While briefly reviewing the history lesson for tomorrow, Sue also reviews briefly CD the history of some of her classmates. I n case the two histories are mixed, always take the one on the right. In 1498. De Gama knocked at India's gate. fHa! a systemb. Sue has also noticed some systems and techniques around ye olde South Side, namely, Craig Maners and V. Coggins. And then there are Gene McNeely and Bobby Whitmore. Of course, Sue couldn't forget to mention the Spangler-Goodell case which has flourished for quite a while, and the Emiy Hall-Charlie Anderson one which looks like the real McCoy Back to Queen-never married.

It would be impossible and not altogether profitable to mention all of his ex- ploits here. Maybe he just likes variety or something. Jack Walter should come in under that word too. Juanita Wagner and David Ashby have gotten to the place where it looks really serious. President Porter and Wylodine Mas- sey seem quite that way too. Sue-back to your history- and he was never heard of again. What happened to the Anita Gunn-James Galbreath case? Remember the Pinstein-Dawson affair?--Love among the test tubes. And then there is the old story newly resurrected about Law- rence Blades giving Tommie Henry a little rabbit for Easter- only this time it happens to b-e a ring. In the midsts of her classmates Sue finds those who have out- side interests. For instance, there's PatricIa Whitmore and Allen Hendley, Charlotte McLeod and Tom Jones, Polly Marton and Ed-
