Dear Editor—
The 8enlora are all the time aaying
that we Freshmen arc silly, but our
teacher aays that the only reason we
are is because we Imitate them.
The following is a Freshman essay:

fights fair, that Is does not scratch,
kick, bite, pull hair, or hit with stlcit
and bricks and what gets best.”

some girls when it got too close.
Refreshments were served to the
Balnbridge visitors first aa they had
to leave early, and then to the rest

Among the distinguished visitors
was Mr. J. B. Edwards from Boston.
Mr. Mac, Mr.'.Rawson, Mr Simmons

THE “SCRUB" TEAM
Many people 1q speaking of a boy
ou a footbal team In a lowering man
ner say "He la only on the scrub
team". People who say such things
as this show their own Ignorance of
foot ball. Everyone cannot be ou
the varsity, only eleven. The scrubs
get all the hard work and no credit
for It They come out every day
some with no Idea of playing in a
single game this year, and work hard
for the benefit of the varsity.
'This Is'real spirit. The boys on
the scrub teams this year will be on
the varsity next year. More boys In
the lower classes should come out and
play with the scrubs.
■< Dear Seniors:
In reference to your note In the
paper stating the need of a traffic cop,
in Study Hall, we wish to say that we
certainly do agree with you. It Is so
tiresome for the "Freshman" to have
to be constantly on the lookout for

find him. Everytlme I would go to
where the boys said he was he had

In bringing her suit for divorce

Through her attorney, V. P. Lucas,

to eating locowccd, and that during
