Yes, it’s hot weather and it’s va-

sun. This season there is a bathing
suit style for any type of figure.
For one thing, the skirts are coming
back for those v\ho prefer them.
You can choose your mo.st flattering

want a strapless rubber cap and a
big terry cloth robe that doubles as
a towel.
The theme of all American girls
is to be neat, practical, and eco

Don’t you know they hate to see us
go. lYhoin will they pick on this
summer? Yessir, boy, they really
hate to see us go! !
Ring-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g! ! ! I
Goodness! ! ! Time for class al
ready. That’s all right; this is one
day I’m not dreading. Mr. Moore
just has to be nice to us today.
After all, it is our last class.
What’s that? Pencil and paper?
A test ? My gosh, Mr. Moore, don’t
you realize that this is our last class?
You can t, just positively and abso
lutely cannot give us a test today!
Is there no human kindness in you ?
—Pretty hard test!

different. Dr. Browne is always
ready to have a little fun. Anyway,
didn’t he say we were his favorite
class ? That’s what I thought.
Oh, no. Dr. Browne, not you too!
A test? But why? Why are all the
teachers giving tests today, of all
days? Because it’s the last day?
Heck! I give up!!
