For the last timo and with a feel-
ing of sadness) this writer takes tho
weekly M. F. H. gossip in hand and
attempts to broad-cast it.
Just to clear up a great deep and
black secret which has shrouded the
lives of Lucilo Patterson Bernlco
Hcnslcr Byrdis Walkor Dorothy
Sandcfcr and Lou M. Caldwell I
hereby state that their secret ad-
mirers who sent them anonymous
flowers ore:
To Bernlco Hcnsler from "Jailor
Pat."
To Byrdis Walkor from Slime
Kirk.
To Dorothy and Lou from Wal-
lno Wimbcrly.
Polly takes this opportunity to
Btato that in view of the fact that
she will not be back next year she
is bequeathing her cntiro collection
of temper (estimated at a high fig-
ure) to any next year Slime whom
it might benefit. In connection with
this Ruth says that her austere and
commanding attitude toward Slimes
shall bo delivered intact to a Soph;
to be better known at present as
Slime Lib Porter. Tho task of
providing midnight lunches for starv-
ing underclassmen shall descend to
Dale as next in line of succession.
Our happy family is in tho main
beginning to assumo a harrnssed at-
titude. What with trunks being
packed exams to study for and
friends to take leavo of it is a seven
day wonder that wo do not all de-
velop streaks of grey in our hair and
give up the grade in general.

OTBOYS MAY PLAY
AT ALABAMA FAIR
Seniors have begun to see their
way clear of work now but with tho
relief of pressure on that score a
moro disturbing social problem aris-
es HOW? Just how to escape bore-
dom and yet stay clear of Cop.
As ever in the annals of any in-
stitution at commencement time
there comes that over anguished cry
which even at times developcs into
a sot: "I've got to havo a job" and
"Prexy can you givo me a good rec-
ommendation and get me a school?"
In tho March 13 edition of the
Brand the article of the traditions of
wedding from M. F. H. left in our
minds a question as to who tho two
would be .
The question was "Only timo alone
will tell I Young men watch your
step for in the spring it is easy to
loso yourself beyond recovery." Time
alone has told and the lucky two are:
Irma Edmonds and
Sadie Sue Hardberger.
Though at times during the past
school year we havo felt that our
"burdens were many and hard to
bear" in summing the whole we
would say it was a fair year in which
we aro well pleased and we wish
were it possible that we could all
return next year with more hopes
and higher ambitions for a still more
successful and happy year.
Tho girls and the Scandal writer

THERE!
As yet the band has not signed a
contract with tho Alabama State
Fair Association for a week's engage-
ment in Montgomery next October
according to a statement made by
( Gilbert Sandefer Thursday morning.
' Although the dates of tho fair and
of tho State reunion of tho United
Confederate Veterans which is to bo
held in Port 'Arthur next October
may conflict there is a possibility of
kvinVlnfw Kt1 nlnina Slfinrlnfai. tntnfl
It was thought: that n contract
would be reached by the -hand offi-
cials and Mr Blixer of the Fair As-
sociation before the band's return to
Texas but Mr. Blixer was absont
from Montgomery when the. band
'passed through that city last Satur-
day morning. '
Tha Fair officials were very favor-
hably JmproM&d with the work of the
