matter in brain and nerve cells all

means vigor. snap, strength and force

crowded at s o'clock when the class
marched to the platform George R.
Clough, a former member of the class,
playing the march which be himself

prove of the plan Of giving books, and
upon their insisting that gold should be
given II anything, the matter was

turn from Europe. The pupils who re-
ceived the books were Herbert E. Sar-
gent and Leon A. DoaHe of the seniors,

men. The freshmen and sophomores
were in the contest together and the

the honors.
