Edna Ruml^y “Mom, what’s the
best way to make Ted stop spending

At last those terrible things tha!
professors call evams are over, and I
can breathe easily again. Well, at
least until grades are out. and then
T il have to go into solitary confine-
I ment or somethirg. It's lucky for
me that they’re over, because 1 was
