business management, Washing Coli
lege has become an outstanding edu-
cational institution and is SO recog-
nized by various educational organizes
tions throughout the country.
There is however need for new
dormitories to take care Of the fast
increasing student enrolment. This
college is in fact public educational
institution and is in no sense a money
making organization. Tuition, fees
and housing costs are based on the
cost Of operating expenses which
makes necessary that the financing Of
new construction come from out side
sources through contribution. A mum
Der Of wealthy men have contributed
large sums to further the efficiency
Of what Washington College is trying
to do for the youth Of this section
and thereby perpetuating their name
as public benefactors. It now remains
for other men to carry on this good

as he had once invited her to do that
day on the roof.
That, Linda hoped, would come
later.
AS the car stopped in front Of her
apartment, Bill sat still long mo-
ment, just looking at her and making
no move. Then he said: Thanks, Lin
d."
Before she could say anything, he
had hoped out Of the car and opened
the door on her side.
Her turn came when they reached
the door of the girls apartment
where Linda was to wait until after
he had gone, and then slip to her own
apartment.
"Thank you, Bill" she said, "fol
lovely evening""
It sounded like line from song
she thought, but why shouldn't it
when her heart was singing that way
September and are lucky fellows
he said, Ito have had this date -
When he had gone and Linda slip
ped quietly back through her own
door, her heart was still singing.
AS she stepped softly into the sleep
ing Mickey's room, however, some Of
the elation-some of the effect Of the
evenings excitement-had worn off.
She stood there very still and very
steady, looking down on Mickey's
tousled blond head, on his outflung
arm, which rested on the coverlet
with loosely clenched fist, on his even,
steady breathing.
"Micky, darling" she said, and the
voice was for Linda's ears, not his.
Mother really left you tonight. She
completely forgot you-for the first
time. Can you -. can you forgive
mother-for being happy. Just this
once -"
Mickey, sleeping soundly, didn't
know that his mothers gay evening
ended in tears.
But Linda knew.
That first date with Bill Blaine was
the beginning Of a breath-taking Sc
quence of dream-filled days and glor-

ious nights - days and nights which
Linda hoped would never end. From
then on Linda felt for the first time
since the end of her brief happiness
with Mike Morton, that it was really
good to be alive.
At the end Of their second evening
together, their second date that Linda
found ended all too soon, Bill Blaine
kissed her.
They stood there lingering mo-
ment before the front door Of the a.
partment shared by Janice and 10
Linda's "home" too, ostensibly to DR.
Blaine.
They had gone dancing and for q
long ride afterward down the boule.
ward overlooking the ocean, Linda's
head nestled against Bill's shoulder
as he drove.
The only light in the corridor, az
they stood there to say goodnight
was the dim globe at the end of the
hall.
He had stood a moment, looking
down at her, strange unfathomable
expression on his face.
Then suddenly-but not before she
knew what was happening-he had he,
in his arms.

signature song, Duchess of Bal Ia
BARN." provided entrance music. And
Linda, clinging to Bill Blaine's arm,
looked as though she belonged there
The prompt way in which he OBJ
tanned a preferred table indicated to
Linda, although no such indication
was needed, that he knew his way
around, that he was accustomed to
such treatment.
She was even more impressed when
man with a genial smile came to
their table and inquired about Bill's
golf game.
Gin the high eighties, Tom," Bill
grimaced. "The higher it gets, the
lower feel"
Bill introduced him as Tom Gerun
one of the owners Of the club.
The soft, shaded lights, the music
the crowd Of gay dancing celebrants
were conducive to a good time. The
food and the music charmed her, the
wine was heady, celebrating.
Linda was having thoroughly
good time-the fun she had long plan
ned. And Bill Blaine was being COM
pletely charming.
She had never questioned it, it went
without saying, SO she was not sur
prised to find that he was a smooth
dancer.
She was light as gossamer in his
ms-and the excitement, and the
wine made her feel lighter than that
as they glided past the music stand.
Every dance was Bills naturally,
but the next was his particularly, as
the orchestra smoothly glided into the
dreamy, paintive strains Of Music,
Maestro, Please" the number he had
requested.
Nothing, Linda thought, could be
nicer than this moment. Wasn't this
vibrant, thrilling happiness what life
wassmeant to be?
Bill was humming the same re-
frain, softly, reminiscently, as they
drove away from the club later {.
much later.
She found herself humming it with
him, as they drove slowly up the tor
tuous road to the summit of Twin
Peaks, to see the night panorama Of
city and bay.
He made no move to stop the car
up there. She hadn't expected him to.
Bill wasn't a college sophomore; the
type to think "dance and park" were
hyphenated word. Linda wouldn't
acknowledge she was glad he didn't
stop, she felt a vague disappoint-
ment.
Nor did he suggest going to Ii
tan Tower to see the night view OF
bay, fair and bridges from his office.

READING CLUB
The Seventh Grade has formed
Reading Club which meets once
week. The purpose of the club is TO
encourage its members to read more
and to discuss with each other new
stories, books and poems they have
read.
At the first meeting of the club an
oral-books report activity was car
ried out by it's members. The fol-
lowing books were reported on: Secret
Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett;
Nobody's Girl, Malot; Nadita, Grace
Moon; Natalie, Enid Johnson; Chi
Wee, Grace Moon.
After each report, the members
were given an opportunity to comment
upon or ask questions of the pupil
who recommended the book.
In the last meeting the roll was
called and each member answered
his name by giving the name of a
book read recently and the name of
the author.
A game was introduced by the presi-
