Everyone has them, you know, You must

wouldn't bo roading it oither.) It takes
all kinds of cyos to make the world, and
right here in our very own school, we
have just aS many eyes per person as any
other places
Hirst, there are the large, startled
eyes of Marge Pond and Ginnie Jordan.
These girls are oonsidered little flutter
bys, due to the fact that they flutter
their long lashes conspicuously at the
opposite sexe
Dick wndrews, ( in our estimation)
In regard to eyes, closely resembles one
of the Ritz brotsers, Take your choices
we are not partioular., Of course, there
are those boys, Dick Paland and Bob Wilke,
vhose long silky lashes , cause such a
furor among the girls, and Ginnie Tripp
with her sparkling orbse
There is no one who resembles a
Jolly Din.le doll quite as much as Midge
’ ‘tanton when she gazes absenvly about the
‘oom. (Dolly Dingle is a “paper-doll" in
vase you didn't xnow.)
There are miilious or
curious eyes
