The sixth and seventh grades will try
to satisfy the curiosity of the eighth
grade in regard to the poor appearance
of their gardens. After the gardens were
carefully planted some one tramped all
over the beds and sowed timothy seed
all over them and showed a spiteful
spirit by trying to destroy them. We
will try again.
The eighth grade wish to beg pardon
of the sixth and seventh grades for
throwing the blame onto us for scatter
ing timothy seed and tramping on your
beds as we can truly say, "We did not
do it, as we have enough to do by at
tending to our own gardens which you
might know by their beautiful appear
ance." Colonel Randlett has not forgotten
bis l 'hema wa friends. In a recent letter
he sends bis kindest regards to all and
speaks of the pleasure he had while
visiting here. The Colonel has a beaut
iful home in LeMesa, a suburb of San
Diego, and since his return he has been
busy getting it into the shape he would
always wish to keep it. We all know
how particular the Colonel is. We
wish him happiness and success.
