election Of officers for the Colby Echo
was held this afternoon III the col

the paper UP to the standard set

of the college papers including the
new Colby literary magazine, "9he

ticult position and requires a great
deal of time and business ability as
much of the money received for run

tisements. Dunstan has been promi-
ncnt in college activities and at the
recent athletic election was elected
manager Of the football team to axe
the place of William F. Cushman

As Young Girl Sees Life

6-year- girl submitted the fol-
lowing composition on People" to
her teacher: ~
People are composed of girls and
boys. also men and women. Boys are
no good until they grow up and get
married. Men who don't get mar
ried are no good either. Girls are
young women who will be ladies
when they graduate. Boys are an
awful bother; they want everything
they see except soap. If had my
way half the boys in the world would
be girls and the other half dolls. My
ma is woman and my pa is a man.
A woman is a grown-up girl with
children. My pa is such a nice man
that I guess he must have been a
girl when he was little boy."-Mil-
