Then be skated more flercely than ever, cutting a huge let- ter "S." She skated about pretending nut to notice, but when he started off toward the far end of the lagoon she glided over to where he had cut the figures.

We have many pleas- ant memories of the davs oassetl here, but they are not all of homework, tests, examinations and results either.
