Our firm and steadfast companion, Bessie Close, wishes to be a stern, haughty, principal in a girl ' s finishing school at Philadelphia. It ' s hard to believe, but Bessie is determined. Walter Bonhoff says that if Bessie is to be at that school he will be there too, and so we expect he will take the place of the janitor, whenever it is possible for him to do so. Duane Chamberlain has promised to accept the office of head organizer for the Boy Scout ' s association at Hemlock. Earl Marquis desires to be his chief assistant. Russell Stickney, Joe Robertson, and Winifred Lange wish to become expert stone road builders. They are considering a con- tract which has been offered them, and intend to take up this work upon leaving school this June. Carol Redmond and Frank McDermid have always been such close companions, that they think it would be a wise and agreeable plan to attend M. A. C. together. Edith Miller has one thought that is continually on her mind. She thinks and hopes that some happy day she may be slim. She is trying Dr. Brady ' s rolls as a reducing exercise at the present time. We wish you success, Edith. Gladys Plambeck will enter college after completing her course at Arthur Hill and study to become a domestic science and art teacher in our new school building. Dorothy Lewellyn is looking forward to the time when she will live as a quiet little spinster in some remote village near the Katskill mountains. Dorothea Reichle will commence immediately after leaving school to master the art of shorthand. She aspires to hold the cham- pionship in a few years. Good luck. We have related to you, to the best of our ability, the hopes which have found a home in the hearts of our school mates for many years. If anyone who may read this little writing finds is possible to aid any of these people in furthering their purposes, let him do so and receive a grateful heart in return for his labor. O. HYMANS. C.
