the ])eo])le arc foally bcgimung to
realize the seriousness of tlic .situ

i'eports of the contrihution.s to
understand how deeply the l^ap-

and how \villing they are to even

fices are what it takes.
It -seem.s to me tliat this is just

“blessing in Ji.sgui.se.” The de-

was very unusual too, that a

without making a foul.
Elma Curj’in, manager and

chief scoring tor her team. Her
shots were well directed and
hardly ever missed the goal.
Virginia Green represents the
Sophomore team on the squad.

Whul gorgeous weather! Why
not walk to town, or anywhere,
