team as it dashes forth to battle cheered on by rows of its enthusiastic classmates (Pinky,
Scottie, Hellie and Emy). First comes Dottie, pale and haggard from dragging the team

And finally the Gym is sucha labour-saving device. Each class can have a meeting there
at 1.30 and in half an hour can learn not only its own songs, but the songs of the three
other classes. This arrangement has been very successful this year, especially with the
Freshmen. |

wonderful times here with our own class and with other classes, and saying good-bye here
means indeed good-bye to our undergraduate days.
