With even keener pleasure the entire student body approved the choice of Mrs. Mildred Lawrence upon whom the honor of dedication was bestowed. With tireless energy and great pa tiencc, Mrs. Lawrence has worked with her students and the dedica tion was a very fitting "thank you." In keeping with the arrival of the annuals, the last few days have been flooded with ink. and fountain pens, and a deluge of autographs. It's a wonder that there hasn't been a plague of brain fever among those students who have experi enced such vast amounts of energy exchanging written pleasantries.

This performer selected from the audience six students: Jimmic Willis, Herbert Mason. Freddie Merrill, Jimmie Owens, and Billy Hudgins, With a slap of rouge, a swish of powder, mustaches,, wigs and a magic touch, he transformed the familiar faces of these students into those of story book charac ter*. The 10 cents admission to this show was money well spent for few such traveling performers have been so entertaining and education al. The sophomores are treating the seniors today with a weiner roast at the State park. All details will have to wait for next week's Chalk Dust. Til then ....
