McKay forget to ring the bell? Why did the Provo boys go home with such a philosophical look on their faces? Why did Mr. Saunders drop so many tears at the game the other day, and then break forth in song? Why don't the Freshmen choose a class color? (A good suggestion would be green a very pretty color for the girls and the boys in the south end of the Study Hall.)
