As vacation approaches the questions of “going”
and “do” arise. Jesse Prettyman and many others
plan on going to Alaska, while quite a number, in
cluding Francis Ross, Frank Mann, Wallace Eagle
and Jesse Steed, intend going to the C. M. T. C.
Martha and Julia Fratis, Ida Escholt, William Mc
Master, Emily Johnson and many others were out-of-
town guests at the Nonpariel Social. If their names
failed to appear it is because they were not known to
the Sophomore class who are responsible for the locals.
The various military companies are out early of
