They called me foolish when I gave My heart into your keeping. They said that soon you’d tire of me, And go, and leave me weeping.

Phi Bete Coed Advises Hard Study, Hard Play By BETTY ANN STEVENS "Study when you're going to study . . . otherwise play, and play hard. Don't waste time doing neither," thoughtfully said Adele Can ada, Phi Beta Kappa coed of the week, as she sat. "not perched,” please, at the counter in the Side. " 'Addel,' or 'Aydel,’ or 'Aydel, Honey,’ and at one time, s..d to say, 'Feet','' piquant, straight-forward Adele has been a. rallyist, Am phibian, Phi Theta.

"I have a brownie troop . . . Jean Taylor, Peggy Gardner and I of 28 to 30 eight to ten-year olds." "Ninety-nine and ninety-nine one-hundreds per cent healthy at the age of six,” Adele attained fame in the Portland papers when she took her pre-school exam. "The other one-hundredth per cent was a cavity in a bicuspid. Wo had it filled," she chuckled. A rabid ski-fan, Adele used to ski competitively. Once she found herself dangling helplessly caught in a ski tow about thirty feet up in the air against a tree. By bracing herself against the tree with her skis she managed to avoid an accident. She also used to swim competi tively, and when she was ten years old, placed third in the Northwest Olympic tryouts.
