Endowed with a brilliant mind, a ýcheery s9mile- and reaI executive ability,' Alice -was a friend of and to ail people. .Her wide friendsbip included' al types of human beings-old- or young, famous or humble.- Her wnning smiile and pleasanit greetitg found lier a place, in the, bearts of New Trier facuity and students, tht, members-of ber Girl Scout troop, the people: in the cburch of which she was a mem- ber, and the neighbors ibo lived near her f rom time-to time. As 1 watcbed oiw half-raised. flag float ini tht breeze yesterday, I could- not hwtp but- thinkt* tmAlice antd John Dernehi are strangely like Mrs. Bixby's children. Those stalwart ý'oung men gave their liv'es for their country in the Civil war. Alice and John gave unseifisbly and unreserved-. ly of their siender strength that their worid imight be a more pleasant and friendly place for their friends to Ail our calis for belp have. resulted in, just about ont slight material bene- fit, for~ which we .,are, grea.tly in- debted-but oh i w'e'd' like to be ini debted toyou.,and you and you.

One littie treatise on a familiar institution of' farm life, in America particularly, bas beeti going th rounds and suffering great popu- larity. '1iie poeti is 'a noblean respected one, quite Arnerican by nature, and given to writing treatises on subjeets that most other poets are flot given to indulging with the grace- fui cloak of rhythm and flow of lines -in fact tbey steer clear of such sub- jects. Many a recent titter and chuckle, and, 1 amn afraid, a frequent baw haw, may be attributed to iat least one of these poemis that bas corne to our attention. and to know that a. teacher-to-be realiy- intended t'O make use of What, was said.

'Pelluco is a good figbter and bhe deserves to win," said Sorsèn, when asked fo r an a ccount . of bis batties. His general 'feeling wben about to enter the ring was mixed witb a littie anxiousness plus some timidity. Tbe atmosphère of the loeker room was 50 percent tougb and 50 percent am- bitioný; and, says Sorsen, he 'enter- tained a little reluctance at entering, but îtdidn't matter mucb because he' made a few friends wbo ,sbared the same worries -and fears.- Sorsen's officiai, connection was witb the Ev- anston Y.
