achievement we most assuredly assuredly as as- I as-I would suppress the story We Ve similar to our readers will be course be interested in Half Halfton's tons ton's spirit of s service the rest remains entirely uninteresting It was I have been informed some two hours following the rowing growing of the cock that our spire-like spire friend Timberline decided to explore the forest that rests on the western side of the Bridge of Sighs Strange Strang to say that little trip across the bridge seemed to sap his strength Albeit having gained the opposite bank he espied a little little lit lit-

be followed by the boys throughout this camp camp camp- campes especially especially es es- on dance nights Our hats are off to you Chamberlain you I possess a charitable heart r. r nGi C I Sock Soak

gurgle of liquid nourishment passing down the gullet of some hungry worker It was not even the plea for seconds of which sometime ethos thru the dinning emporium of the camp This sound is one which has created a lot of homesickness among among ani- ani am am- ong enrollees who have hailed from pastoral habitat It is iB the gentle voice of a silver toned bell which once was the pride and honor hon hon- or of said Jersey The story goes that his honor the Jae Mayor was recently out on a little ittle jaunt daunt when he saw this gentle giver of milk He quickly sought some of his hiB favorite beverage beverage bev bev- from the llie animal While drinking he noticed just what sweet music was produced by the bell Before many moments Mr 1 Oliver was the owner of Bossey's necklace With the aid of or a few y of twine and a few suggestions from Timberline a very fine device was rigged up In the kitchen Now the llie Mayor can sit in his combined office and bed room and pull the cord Such
