At class melting called the hst OF

the Freshmen. now Juniors, had Sc

| which was then divided among our
class as a reminder of our first victory
over the present Junior class.

| the class with two chaperOns assembled

no former class has ever had.
The study of typewriting and stenog-
raphy has been added to the curricu-
lum. with a new assistant to teach
these studies. making the number "l
teachers six instead of five. The re-
suits obtained by those who have TAX
Ell those studies are truly surprising.
At least some of these scholars have
the ability of doing two things at the
same time. This has been proved by
the fact that Madeline Dill and Eta
Dunton dressed up very modest look

rope to the table. This last operation
was quite unnecessary as the bird hac

Der of years and as he still remains

granted that they were puZzling over
their shorthand at the same time as
they did not have to return in the af-
