Bert Hinkley's face as the MONITOR re-
ported last week, but that the smile came

If it isn't making too much trouble we
would be pleased if the Glover band would

give promenade. Our best girl didn't
have time to get ready last Friday eve
ming. What's the harm in advertising a
bit, anyway? Correspondent
