During the spring and fall a familar sight is some thirty boys playing tennis in their after¬ noon gym classes and about sixty more boys waiting for their chance to use the courts. The Bulletin of Tufts College says: “All stu¬ dents are required to complete Physical Edu¬ cation 1-2 and 3-4 in order to be eligible for a degree.” Freshman obey like sheep, sopho¬ mores cut, juniors scoff openly, and seniors find their graduation in question until they make up their twenty-three classes.

Gentlemen, this machine needs a new washer, for as you can see quite plainly, it leaks. Well after all, Casey Jones was an engineer too. 25
