It's a buck here and a buck
there when a freshman starts to
school, but the 50 cents that he
given for a scarlet freshman cap
is well spent. Of course they aren't
exactly large, and they aren't ex
actly warm, but most freshmen
buy them to keep from getting
warmed.
In the picture on the left Inno

Holmes who has just purchased
one of the '44 hats. We feel sure
that Aden is giving Holmes a wel

him for buying a cap. j

unique opportunities.
We must and shall be ready to
answer the call to defend our
liberties and opportunities if the
holocaust now raging on three
continents should be brought to

cards and pictures with them at
the time that they receive their

Freshman registration under th
