As it happened, Richard did not appear for

The tennis court was right alongside the gray
wall where the loft looked over the garden.
1t was after four o'clock, and we were already
expecting the tea bell when three muff1ed ex-

TTML began when gave my godson Richard

to then It had been quite impossible to make
him take the slightest interest in anything, and
his mother Louise was becoming desperate
The chemistry set itself seemed pretty
fmlorn hope; but We fitted out laboratory
for him m an empty loft over the disused
stable, and just hoped for the best.
From then on our problem was not to get
Richmd into the loft but to get him out Of it.
He wMShiped his ''stinks" to the exclusion of
everything else. At first, of course, we were
only too delighted to get him interested in
somelhine. But then he began to 60 about

hair hanging on his forehead like question

He was brilliant chemist: his school re-

develop into crank if he wasn't careful, and
We were desperately afraid that he would grow
into physicist, or even something worse.

MIAMI STUDENT
PRAISED

Mr.. David H. Dobbs, Principal
Dorsey High School ~.
Miami, Florida
Dear Mr.. Dobbs:
am very pleased to inform you
that Miss jeanette Reynolds made
a 800 point average, our highest
possible average, for her first Sc
mester work. Only two students
made this average and she is the
only freshman who made it.
Miss Reynolds is quite popular
with the students and faculty be-
cause of her lady-like character
istics. She created quite a 'sensa--
ton among Atlantans for her role
as our chief majorette.
I hope that her family, your
school and community are as
proud of her as we are. We will
continue to aid her in developing
into finer womanhood.
Best wishes for continued Sue

Sincerely yours,
