You have a choice of twenty colors

FLEX. It's color possibilities are
limitless.
FLEX is the easiest finish you ever
used. 1t flows on so smoothly that
IL does not leave a single BRUSH
mark. And 1t dries very quickly and
forms a hard, tough, wear-resisting
surface that water, dirt and hard
wear does not harm.
You'll want to use a lot of FLEX

delivered the convocation yester-

football team and president OF
the senior class presented the
college a recently laid-out sunken
garden on behalf of his class. He
said he hoped that beneath the
trees growing in the new garden
future college girls and boys
would learn to love as We have
learned to love-"

the ceremonies.
