The strains of a handorgan rushing the season rekindles that unsettled feeling, attributed to spring in March, fall in October, winter in January.

The thrifty Senior will buy early if he would appear in the exclusive spring picture! With the melting of the snow, the price of caps and gowns will mount by leaps...
