Friday, incidentally, is the dead-
line for making arrangements for
an Oak Leaf. Even the Fish will
probably want a copy of it. It is
possible, if you absoluty canft
find a dollar anywhere, for you to
turn to Guy Howard by the end of
this week, a signed statement that
you will pay later but you do want
an annual when they come out next
spring.
Definitely no annuals can be re-
served after this week. The printer
demands that the number of annuals
needed be given him now in order
that he might be necessary supplies
and start the publishing.

Wrapping Small Gifts
i An unusual way to wrap a num-
ber of small gifts that are to be
i given in a good-sized Christmas box
is to tuck each one in an envelope
made of either plain red, holly, sil-
ver or gold paper. Wrap each gift
first in plain white tissue paper,
i folded in envelope style, and seal
, the flaps of both the inner and outer
; envelopes with contrasting seals.
! Patterns for the envelopes can be
cut from ordinary envelopes by
■ tearing one apart and either enlarg-
’ ing on it or trimming it down.

Yes, Glorianna that’s bad, but

Just ask Guy Howard; Freshmen

when you are trying to have dates
with freshmen. (Especially Betty).
Jessie’s attraction at T. W. C. is
genuine alright—look at the picture
on his study desk and you will see
why.
It really is bad that it’s taking
Louise Fulp and Ruby Lee Killion

would like to have the same chance.

Out of the entire student body on-
ly two seniors and ten fish couldn’t
muster the courage to face the cam-
era for annual pictures and the staff
“sho ’preciates ’at” and laughs up its
sleeve everytime it remembers the
record breaking turn out. The more
pictures the more representative the
annual will be and if you—yes YOU
—were one of those camera shy per-
sons we KNOW you’ve got a snap-
shot stuck back in the corner of an
album somewhere so turn it in and
be sure your picture appears in some
division. After all it’s your publica-
tion now and will be your treasure
years from now.

to the tent and joined the crowd of
surly men around the great camp-
fire.
E. A)
when I want you, Orrek? We’re
making up a bridge table.
A bridge table when his future
career was toppling down! ;
“Orrek, what’s wrong with the
men?” she asked. “My maid toldi
me there had been a row there.”
I Orrek’s eyes blazed as he tucked
ithe small hand under his arm. How.
’he loved her! In a few brief sentences"
;he told her of the discontent among
his men. “It’s the loneliness that;
gets them,” he finished, “the lack of!
amusement."
“If they walk out you cannot keep
your contract. That will queer you
with the owners.” She turned and
left him in silence.
! Back at the bungalow Marcia tum-
i bled the contents of her clothes closet
; while talking rapidly to her maid,
Ninette. "Isn’t it lucky that I taught
[you those chords, Ninette?”
The camp men, grumbling around
[the fire, fell into a sudden silence
as the gay plink-a-plunk of a banjo
[sounded in the clearing.
Gebert, surly gang leader, jerked
out his pipe. “Listen, boys!”
! Down the hill Marcia came gaily,
her fingers bringing jolly notes from
[the strings. The frosty air echoed
and re-echoed as Ninette joined in.
“I know that,” declared Gebert.
Carried along by memories, the
men joined in, forgetting the loneli-
ness of, the Christmas eve, forget-
ting their fancied troubles.
Marcia had come to the very edge'
I of the great fire and stood there
[picking at the strings. Above her
[towered the man she loved, just be-
yond her stood the men in a semi-
[circle, their unshaven faces lighted.'
by a mutual love of music.
i “How many of you play small in-
struments?" she asked softly.
The answers brought a quick smile
to her lips. “I thought there would
be many of you to help me out,” she
cried.
“I want to have a string-band,”
[hurried on Marcia, “and I need vol-
unteers. A violin, maybe two or
three. A guitar—”
I “I play the flute,” interrupted
[Jacques.
’ “At home I have an accordion,”
came a wistful voice, “but—”
i “Fine,” interrupted Marcia. “I
have, tonight, made out an order
[that should have been mailed soon-
[er. It is my Christmas gift to our
men. The order is for musical in-
[struments. I wish each man would
[write down his instrument and
give it to me. With luck we should
have the orders filled in three days
[and we’ll practice hard so that New
Year’s day may find us ready. How
about it?”
। There was an instant response as
[hardened palms came together. i
। Just beyond the pines a wolf
'howled, but Marcia was looking up,
[into her lover’s eyes.
