Groups of panting students pulled up close behind the lone fire truck when it slid to a stop before the big colonial home, while Chi Omegas, who had just finished en tertaining Miss Perkins and other coeds from the Shack and the New Dorm gathered on the corners. Close scrutiny of the house and surroundings failed to produce flames, and disgusted students moved slowly back toward the dorms and the business district.

"You know, girls at the age of 18 learn quicker than boys at the same age, which isn't saying, by the way, that they do the same thing at 30." Her eyes twinkled as she made the last remark. INTERESTED IN ALL With girls in front of her sitting on the floor before an open fireplace and others standing behind her, Miss Perkins talked to 'them in a friendly conversational manner. She was' con cerned with all their problems from Mickey- Warren's of not getting enough sleep at night because of ex (Continued on last page) French Professors Complete Reader Professor Hermann H.
