Should not the example set by this class be followed by other classes? There is no better way of showing one's interest in education and one's love of his Alma Mater. SPEAKING ABOUT CORN BREAD An Alumnus of 1904, during the epoch-making rabbit hunt, happened lo pay a visit to the department o’er which Tom Goodal holds sway. He recognized the old range which had been in use twenty-two years before and. smiling, said to Tom. There are better ranges in the market today, Tom. How would you like to have one? Tom’s only answer was his happy, swiftly enchanting smile. And the answer to that smile is a new $3,000.00 range. RT. RF.V. MONSIC.NOR FRANCIS M. ORR. AM.. L.L.D.
