BIRMINGHAM BOYS

 A number have already left for educa- tional institutions, at which an early matriculation is expected, and this week there will be a vertable outpour of gay fun-loving fellows who can be as solemn as a judge when the gravity of an oe- casion demands and whose achievements at college are measured only by their desire for success.
 The future citizenship of Birmingham will be upheld by throng of splendidly representative boys.
 Henry Gray, Jr., who has completed a course of four brilliant years at the Hill school, preparatory for Yale, will enter that famous seat of learning. Every prospect Is bright for a superb record.
