IN the studio of Guerney and Pitman, overlooking the square from the corner of Boston Street and Massachusetts Avenue are made not only the forest models, but the exhibition models for Boston concerns as well.
Last week a semi-constructed forest model involving some deer and a semi-constructed model for a bank involving a swarta of armed soldiers scrambling ever a hay barricade at Bunker Bill were placed nearby. When the sculptor went out he unconsciously left some occer grazing in the field in front of the soldiers.
On returning he found a model sign neatly posted on the field saying "Open Season."

An Economics A instructor marched into class during the reading period just bubbling over with high spirits and ideas. One idea was an hour exam and it did not go over so well with the class.
