Charles Condemine and his second

she calls back the spirit of Elvira,

dead for seven years. Since Elvira

football game was played in Knoxville, the holi-!a- v
started after classes on Wednesday and
ended at 8 a.m. Monday. That was really a

Official opinion does not favor students
lcm'ng the campus for a four-daholiday with
Chi istmas only a month away. That's one reason

of days are scheduled in advance for the
scIhk.I term, and this year again, ihere is jro-isii.- n
for only Thursday free. The school schedule fur next year might well provide for the
l iiday following Thanksgiving off
loo. Most
students had rather start school 24 hours early
and ge t more
lime.
