BROCKTON


BROCKTON, Mass, Aug. %, Young
Brocktonians in quest of learning are
almost beyond counting this fall. The
college fever is spreading among the
younger set here and they seem to
think that the South is just the place
for their education. The adjective,
busy, is weak to describe all their ac--
tivities, what with curriculums to be
adjusted, rooms to settle, old friend
ships to renew and new ones to be
made. Now that mass limitations are
over, classes will begin in earnest with
our ambitious young Brocktonians
applying themselves diligently to their
books. Miss Dorothy Canada,
daughter of Mrs. Margaret Canada,
eommutes daily from her home on
Perry Ave. to Portia Liberal Arts Col
lege in Boston, where she is a junior.
Miss Canada, who is very ambitious,
taught classes at the Shaw House dur
ing the summer. :. 'Iou" Montgomery,
Brockton's former sensational football
player, has resumed his studies at Bos-
ton College where he is a Junior.
Here's hoping tina his year Louie gets
a chance to show them what he's got

The Duos Club, a very smart set of
Youngsters, very capable put over the
