dreaded days for every High School
student. II Is then that he is cram
ming around the study table when the

who have entirely used up their de-
post fee by means of various draw
ings, initials, caricatures and notes
found distributed over books and the
school building. And how a feller's
arm aches after rubbing a badly worn
book for most an hour!
