nineteen boys and fifteen girls. usu-
ally the girl graduates of the. 'hieh
schools of lower Delaware for the
past fifteen years have outnunbered
the boys, but not so this year In

have made a special effort in their
senior year to outdue the girls is not
known; but that is the situation,
nevertheless. This goes to show that
the boys are beginning to realke
that they must make good in order
to have a place in the business
world. There are some other schools
in lower Delaware this year which
have favorable showing as regards
the boys.
