wing in the city and oftentimes near L
It to the school are quite often in
uded in the list of cold weather alb
sntees, while students living two or three :

ON the rural districts, some living as b
r as four and five miles away from l.

IL number are: Carroll Tucker Of the W
D class, who walks to and from East a
