Who knows, perhaps we may have had a Florence Nightingale! Mr. Moll would now be pleading cases in a law court, and wouldn't we hate to be on the wrong side of the fence. Miss Foley said that she aspired to be a keeper in a zoo. Well, she didn't miss it by much! ln the business world , was Mr. Strine's emphatic reply, but we cer- tainly are glad that his choice was otherwise. We have one in our midst who would have been a circus barker-Miss Martin. Well, we are surprised! Poor Mr. James' ambition to be a hobo was wrecked when his wife made him go to work. Oh, my, we have two teachers who at one time had ambitions to be physicians-Mr. Wartena and Mr. Hensinger. They certainly would have had more pains in the neck to take care of then! Teaching school saved Mr. Messick from becoming a beggar or thief. We wonder what his answer would have been if he hadn't been in his usual hurry? , E671
