She has been a member of the school or chestra for four years and when not trying to coax music out of her clari- net or studying, her time is spent in the company of Junior boy. Every body remarks how they have occupied the same place in the corridor during the noon recess for the three last months. We certainly think that it will be great blow to her next year to miss the noon recess,
