'very pleasing gestures before the en
thralled onlookers, and then got down
again. The Junior class Is to bo con
gratulated upon tho abundance of ma
terial within Its ranks for this respon
sible position. In tho election of Her-
gejint-at-arms, MIsb Rhoados, tho out

a good, healthy ICansas cyclone would
make' ono of those hurricanes seem
quite feebloi
"Tho Everglades are Immense, areas
of flat rock cover.ed by a few Inches of
sand, on which thero aro great Bheets
of water varying In depth from a very
