Kay faithfully listened to Rliss Allen when she read to us from How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Dayn but she still finds it quite a problem. Between dances she has found time to study her wav into Rlt. Holyoke. She will be fifty whole miles awayl from bl. B. and therefore has our sympathy. Wie know, however, by her past exploits, that her heart won't break.

XIILDRED JLTLILS Here is another who is to join the ranks of Freshmen at Jackson. .X year has hardly been time enough to find out all the nice things about hlildred, but we know some of them. She can dance well, work well, play well, and make change at the lunch counter with lightning rapidity. What more would you want?

Jonesie believes that actions speak louder than words, and he is the boy with the action. If he make the same line plunges and Bear-hugll tackles for Brown that he has made for Thayer, he will quickly earn his B and, we hope, a captaincy. We wish to congratulate him on his hue leading of our lindefeated team. Nlty good luck attend you wherever you go, jonesie.
