H. S., and she has been rushing ever since. When she is not successfully attending to her duties, especially the matters confronting the President of Girls’ Club, she is usually kept busy entertaining her many admirers. Madeline announces her arrival with a contagious giggle which is welcomed everywhere. Her loyalty and Stirling qualities will surely carry her far along the road to success at Jackson College, which she expects to attend next year.
