To use a familiar expression, we have" always paddled our own canoe." By this we do not mean that we are of that arrogant specie of college genus who think they know it all, for we have ever recognized those who are our superiors, and have been willing to profit b_,"their advice. Bnt we are not of the kind who worship at an abandoned shrine, nor offer oblations to some garland-decked abode of past genius.

Well, yes, $0 much so that she has always been the chief promoter of the numerous petitions sent by the Senior girls to the Faculty, honestly believing they would be granted. How's that for credulity? Xlny, however, is a thorough student, and the correctness of her answers cannot be equalled. She has received two medals for class leader_ ship; never was known to use a pony except in d Deutsch," a j~tiling common to the class. Her favorite recreation is to perch herself on the foot of the bed and inspire her classmates with her soul-stirring cry of "COCk.H_ doodle-doc. " L,\WIIEKCE !lL'LL CHAFFINCII,. . Easton, xtd. W.
