A Glimpse at Room 22 Such an assortment of people you have never seen. Every4 thing from quiet, unheard people to the school's chief nuisances are found here. The room's love life is always moving. Num- bered among the more prominent Romeos are HAROLD T., HUB W., BARNES M., MAX A., JOCK T. and RUSSELL P., while the more noted Juliets include JEAN H., DOREEN H., ROSEMARIE B., BARBARA H., GLORIA H., JACKIE M., ISABEL H., MARG A., EVA B., GRACE L., DARLEEN R. and BETTE ANN E. There are also a few who are interested in a career: PHYLLIS S., who wants to be a doctor, DAVE C., a physicist, GRACE H., BARBARA R., JEAN ANN S., and HELEN P., who all want to be nurses, ELAINE M., an actress, JUNE C., a lab technician, TOM M., a barber. And quiet ones like JACK J. and ELMER R., who never say a word, MARG T., who silently follows Elaine around, VIC B., who isn't interested in anything but sports, JOAN B., whose interest is music, and JIM T., the room wolf-he smiles and the girls fall. Of course we have to have some of the opposite kind too, like TOM M., the room's chief nuisance, and JOAN F.. who as the writer of this, you can see, is crazy. Student: I don't think I deserve a zero. Prof.: Neither do, I but it's the lowest mark I can give. 30
