But in our indignation We must not forget that, even down- trodden as We are, we have our mild triumphs. There are those who will not soon forget the fray on the basket ball field, last Thanksgiving Day, and our hearts are still warm for those Qlong may they prospe1'!j Who wore the yellow and who cheered so in- spiringly for our team. We have done our best this year, as be- fore, to prove our love for dear old Wells, and We are all, old and new girls alike, ready to pledge our loyalty. I-Iere's to the Cardinal and to the Yellow! to the Daisy and to the Marechal Niel I 76
