account of illness. But no need to worry now as he
has resum ed his studies.
(F re sh ie ) “ W hat w ould you do if you were in my
shoes?’ ’
(S en io r) “ I ’d get them s h in e d .”
T he seniors are glad to have M innie Pataw a back
again.
A nna La Rance, com ing back from practice, m ade
a rem ark to a girl w hich ran som ething like this: I am
going to put my books u n d er my head to -n ig h t so my
brains will absorb ev ery th in g th a t s in them .
N ext

as ever.
C arrie A nderson, hopped into M r. Mason s car p ro
