Did you notice how neat our boys are looking of
late? Louis Colby and Emil Freeman are responsible
for this—they are now the regular barbers.
From present indications we will have a fine crop
of clover and oats this year. The warm weather we
have had of late has wrought wonders with these

Many of our Alaskan students are getting the fever

Cheer up, fellows, it will be only a matter of a few
weeks when your dreams are realized.
The track men are training faithfully for the dual

A letter from Charles Eder states that he has been
quite busy getting in the spring crops for his mother

Capital Business College.
Not to be outdone by Mitchell Hall in publishing
their Missing Link,” the boys of Brewer Hall are
now putting out a daily paper called the “ T ruth.”
We have nothing to say as to whether its name is
appropriate, but nevertheless it is a cleverly edited
paper and causes much mirth.

dividual demonstration to be given soon.
Marina Nelson is again in school after a little
hospital demonstration,” and the class is complete.
