Mu."h credit is duo Sue Stille, '21,
and Hello Kanuan, "23, for the way
in which they have written, corrected
and assembled "copy" for this issue.
In addition to being actively interest

ively journalistic frame of mind.
When you read today's isiie uu

W. A. A. circles for the curren school

REDUCERS ARE REDUCING.
There's a little group of W. A. A.'h
who are spending those busy days
uoildng toward a sylph like goal. We
don't mean by this exactly that the
goal itself Is sylph-like, but at the
end el' the intensive training period,
the chubby trainers hope to be able
to don plaids and stripes without feel
ing like mountains. Ah II is some of
them fed terribly conspicuous until
bedecked in unobt nisi e blacks,
browns, grays or other somber shades.
But Paine Kumnr tells us thai the
"reducing squad" is sort of taking
things too easy ef late and that a few
surplus pounds have been gained.
The training seemed to be a little too
strenuous for a few of the apostles of
Kellerman and they have decided that
they prefer a heaping glass of Home
style, a malted milk, some bon bons
or a good novel, belter than two hours
swinging dumb bells and Indian clubs.

"'They shall not pass' before they

almost the sting of that ball? Don't
you just want to seize n bat and "Pat

want to be at that track meet. too.
Oh. for the love of Mike! Wouldn't
it be fun to go on that hike? K
there's anything you want to know,
look at the bulletin board. If there's
any place you want to go. look at
the bulletin board, llur rah for the
