One thirg appears to be certain about these girls—whatever their fates since tha* time, they were all having a mighty good time while they were in college. The aftermath of these hundred co-eds has been traced out and is kerewith published. The fond mam- ma and the spectacled theorist and the questioning little high school miss may read. Perhaps these pages may answer some of their questions.
