Drugstore Makes Slight Comeback The corner drugstore is making a slight comeâ€"back as the unofficial headquarters of the fellows and girls now sojourning at our venerable hall of learning., More and more, now. as the studes are becoming used to the new proprietors, they are seen inside the store.

The ends of the string were taken in the mouths of two members who chewed their wavy down the string to the marshmallow. The one who reached the marshmallow first, ate it. t A dance began then.

The cards are walletâ€"sizec, ivory colored and have a place for a photo of the student owner. It is doubtful, however, if the stors will ever again reach such majestic he‘ghts of informality and friendl‘ness as it enjoyed when the Bird family managed it, It is hoped that the Grad Dance of this year will be as successful as those in past years.
