He must have felt the strong contact •of her thought for suddenly he looked ia her direction, but she quickly turned the other way. 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. There was the old-fashioned letter "S" and another and still an- other. There were "S'a" all over.

During the time we attended the F. C. S. all our time was not spent in studying. We have many pleas- ant memories of the davs oassetl here, but they are not all of homework, tests, examinations and results either.
