J., and Miss Wheelock's School in Boston as Dartmouth Carnival Queen and the prettiest girl there?a title that was another feather in the cap of smart junior and Phi Gamma Pitkin, who had asked her up. There was some roughhousing on the ice called a moccasin dance, discreeter dances indoors; skating, tobogganing, skiing went on next morning, but the most interesting event...
