Britain had planned a pious milk-&-water declaration against further aggression. But the nations on Adolf Hitler's list of probable victims wanted a hard-&-fast promise of military help. Moreover, The Netherlands and Switzerland, remembering that France had once sworn to defend Czecho-Slovakia and that both France and England had talked about guaranteeing dismembered Czecho-Slovakia's frontiers, let it be known that they are not interested in French and British guarantees at all. Rumania's pistol-point signature to an economic alliance with Germany showed what that country thought of the "Stop Hitler" campaign...
Sulfapyridine is made in 0.5-gram, yellowish-white tablets, which can be crushed in milk or fruit juices and given in small doses every few hours.

Since the members of the class have not had the opportunity to learn to know each other, votes are dictated by completely false and illogical standards. The athlete and the milk-drinking champion triumph over the able executive. Perhaps freshmen should be given an opportunity to recognize their fellows, but in this case a spade should be called a spade. Elections should then be for the Most Popular Boy and the Best Athlete, rather than Class President and Class Treasurer--terms which connote something entirely different...
