ROBERT V. CLIFFORD “BOB” “CLIFFIE” “Cl if fie” is undoubtedly the best liked boy in Room 12 by Miss Allison because of his quiet re¬ serve and willingness to obey her to a T. (?).

PRISCILLA HAMILTON CORNWALL “RONNY” “T. T. T.” Priscilla seems to be one of the shy girls in school, but outside it’s a different story.
