woodshed just outside the house. I heard a terrible racket and  
then a chicken squalked about twice and all was quiet. There 1
were feathers all over the back yard the next morning. The ‘
natives set a trap for the animal. They put a piece of meat out
as bait and tied it in such a way so that it would set off a gun V·
and shoot the animal that was taking the meat away. They
had to reset the gun twice before it finally got the animal. Guess  
what it was? It was a leopard! Glad now that I didn’t get up to L
see what had gotten our chicken.

Our boys are growing up so quickly. Marc is most enthusi—  
astic about "Christmas Tree Time." Since he sees a real tree ,
only once a year, the tree assumes special meaning for him. I _
wonder what he would say if he could once see trees growing
like they do around Wendover. Stuart is a bouncing 30 pounds ‘
now. He is a sturdy child and can drag Marc down who weighs  
only 5 pounds more. Marc has always preferred playing to eat-
ing. Stuart loves to eat—a joy to me since no coaxing is required.
Stuart is fascinated by the packages he sees and thinks he should Y
try to open them at once. They are beginning to play nicely I
together now! We have had a pleasant, full year and are so .
thankful for our good health and happy family. I

women’s college, with emphasis on the liberal arts but also with f
recognition of the more "practical" demands of modern society- ·
and therefore providing courses in personnel, merchandising,
secretarial studies, nursing, occupational therapy, etc., for those _.
who want a specific vocation as well as a liberal education.
My particular job is in the oflice of the Dean of Students
partly as an assistant there, and partly in charge of placement  
for the college. So far, most of my work has been in placement-
