The enrollment this term is the largest in the history of the College. We believe this continuous growth is partly due to our superior, courses of study, able teachers, and fair deal¬ ing; but we attribute no little part of our success to the won¬ derful opportunities in Bethlehem awaiting our graduates, and tbe high salaries they are commanding.

Not so with Hy-School Clothes, because they represent years of study in catering to the growing boy, his long thin legs, slim arms, and frequently narrow shoulders are all taken into consideration in making. HY-SCHOOL CLOTHES and the models are scientifically cut to overcome these weak¬ nesses of build.
