go home. evidently fearing that the
lateness of the hour would keep
them from recovering sufficiently
TO be at the commencement exer-
cises. None OF them was lost, though
how this happened no one seems to

taken for the annual this week. Mr..
Triggs has had a very hard time OF

lures taken he thought he would
get some rest. But when he saw the
boys coming, he sighed. "Ah, the
worst is yet to coEae," and reached
for the smelling salts. However, the
girls must have been a trial, since
he had to tell one who persisted In
looking solemn, not to look so So
Der, "just look natural" he urged,
which leads us to surmise that the
freshmen are not the only ones who
giggle.
