Jack was desperate. perspiration cane from every per6 as he etattsA out on the dancs. DuriAg the sattss first encers he kicked her tots around the Aoor. HS was vsry nsar- ly falling to the hoor on several occasions but he managed to stay on his feet. The fioer was savsd frem considerable wear because et the feet that at no time were the feue feet on the Aoer. When hS wasrnoe sn her feet she was on hts. Finally the much -looksd-for time arrived and he had danced hts half.
 Nc save his friend the usual sie- nal but to Ais amusement lilt said: Nothing doing. there's | limit ts friendship" And 70 Jack had, to continue the battle of wits. feet and agony.
 There are girls in this class who have athletic ability but they do not ret an opportunity to show 1t. Re- gently the Herald carried . story of | girl who played an outheld posi- ton with . high school baseball team. When saw how some of the boys played with the team this year when the asgrsgation finished . poor second in most of the games. had it in mind to sse Nr. Cassidy and suggest this experiment.
 After thinking it over, however. was convinced that this scAems would not work in this school. The rreatAr part of the baseball games were played after school and some of them lasted until darkness. This would not do because the New Brit ain High school girls are not used to staying out after dark.
 The arrival of Betty Tarrant at one of our dances is signal for the hearts of all the male sex to duttsf. but An! there's something mean (Meehan) about her. Well.--then. here comes Ruth McAloon. that girl with the perpetual smile, but no. ws have no chance while the conausring hero, Louis Landino. is about There's Ethel Barrett. but again we meet with an obstacle, a saxophone player. No. 1t 10 not Rudy Vallee, its hts nearest rival, Charley Dunn.
 I resolved that l would bs . bachelor until I saw so many other wonderful: girls in the class. Up on the sage in the Amphton club play is none other than Elizabeth Burns. Then there is Mary McCrann. about whom everything sweet may be said. All Mary has to do to settle an cleo ton ahead of time is to be nomihat- cd. She has been elected to moro offices than any girl in her class. But with George Arel and his love melodies around I stand no show. There is little Cleopatra. Lillian Me- Nulty, but her experience is too much for me. Here comes . couple, Peggy Kiniry and Pauline Kallin. shux failed to zee their compan- ions, Bobby Hudge and Clement Marsh.
 One day I decided ot watch the girls enter the school and thereby try to md one for myself. The first was Blanche Levenson who was decked out in . green dress and hat. but judging from her attire she was advertising for another Irishman. Then came Ruth Hewett. the widow of many a romance. but l like the wise old owl, refused to be another victim to her magnetism. We'll. we'll. here comes Vic Drauchik, the lucky" girl. but they tell me that she has e boy friend who is "ever-it" (Everett).
 Being unsuccessful here decided 10 try elsewhere and my steps di- rected me to the class night rehear. sal. The first three met were Mar. jorie Smith. Rosalie Dolan and Mll- dred Carroll but somehow or other they do not seem to like N. B. H. s. boys. They prefer out of town fel- lows, wonder why? Then heard Virginia LAwless. Marimba Krawitx, Lillian Wood and Mary McLarney singing about their 57 varieties. When seem to bs attracted to them I heard them singing this song: Just Lettuce Alone" and I was convinced that they were dedicating the song to me.
 From there I went dow nto the Contaras Shoppe and while sitting in one of the booths l overheard the following rumor: That Myrtle Timms and Paul Cianci were to be married in the fall and the June class of 1929 would bs invited as guests. also heard that Jenny Lar- son and Mabel Steiner wished to be- come hostesses in Texas 0uinan's night club. A question was askedi What will Bill Buckley do when Mildred Rand leaves him to return to Mass? As the gossip was going strong I fell asleep and woke up when the Contaras Shoppe was closing up.
 Defeated in every attempt l am now convinced that will have to be bachelor, but will say that tl - boys and girls of '2s have had ma.
 good times together, especially at the dances. Really boys. the girls are not as bad as they are painted. therefore let us give toast to Our Girls that they may live long, hap- billy and may their charms never fade"
