She is not too short, not too tall, not too plump , not too slender—but just right. Al- though Andie may seem quiet during school hours, she is the Merry Maker in her own crowd.

Louise is one of the best things the class of '25 bequeathed us. We shall never forget her efforts for the class of ’26 in the Speaking Contest. Louise expects to take the Health Education Course at Nor- mal School next year, but she is secretly hoping to be a doctor some day. We wish her the best of luck.

He is not only accomplished at music, but. in the Latin or French classes, when ever a difficult passage is reached, we turn to Sam” who translates this for us in a manner that shows us the beauty of the languages.

A truer friend can ne'er be found, and. if you ever need consoling, just turn to “Margy. Margy” is undecided about her future.
