STILL SOME ANIMALS LEFT.

While we do not wish to urge too
strenuously upon any one that he invest
in such gilt-edged proposition as the
School Annual, yet we wish to hint
gently in voice that would raise the
dead from their eternal slumbers that the
number of ANIMALS reserved for the
Alumni of the High School has not very
materially decreased. What has hap
pened to the loyalty of the Alumni?
Has their school spirit been so diluted by
time that they no longer preserve their
loyalty? Austin high school published
eight hundred ANIMALS this year; New
Ulm cannot dispose of two hundred.
Yes, It's a strange world indeed!
