Yes siree, this alma mater is really an everlasting boiling pot of activity. Buccaneers really bear down when it comes to doing things, and so, Balboa is simply over-run with interested visitors. Along about the middle of the term, one of these fre- quent tourists breezed into the main ofiice, admitted he was John Q. Public, and said he wanted to see if all the things he heard about Balboa were true. Mr. Chase grabbed one unsuspecting student and told him to hustle out and show Mr. Public around. The student fBilly BuccaneerJ got a stranglehold on the visitor and calmly proceeded to drag him through the school in nothing fiat, But Mr. Public refused to be hurried and told the guide that he wanted to look over the main office before he proceeded. He looked around while Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. Canavan calmly continued their work, and then announced that everything was O, K. as far as he could see and that he was ready to continue the tour. Suddenly a chorus of No,s rent the air. john Q. got a grip on the bewildered Billy and fairly quaked with fear. Wlia . . . What was th-that? The guide hastened to assure him that it was merely the Student Council who couldn't agree on some point of school government. In spite of Billyls reassurance, Mr. Public decided he would be more interested in something definitely far removed from that point, so the pair then shambled off to the Student Court were judge Sechini and his associates took time out from their disciplining to confer with the Locker Staff.

SCHMAELZLES STAFF ' ' More Clubs Before Mr. Public became too interested in these staffs, Billy dragged him off to get a touch of foreign atmos- phere. They toured the Italian, German, and French Clubs, where the sponsors, Miss Raffo, Mrs. Schaller, and Miss Maini, immediately pounced on the bewildered visitor and commenced to tell of the activities of their clubs. Then on to room 123 where Miss Maki was busily teaching the magic of the mimeograph. Then across to the library where industrious Buccaneers poured over reference books in an effort to absorb more knowledge. just as the two tired tourists were becoming convinced that perhaps no one loved them, out popped Al Race and invited the duo into the boys' assembly room where they beheld the amiable activities of the group. PACE TWIENTY-NINE Along about that time, Billy sneaked a peek at the clock on the wall and noted that the old ticker registered just about ten minutes before closing time. So he lassoed Mr. john Q. Public and promptly proceeded to drag the astonished visitor unceremoniously from room to room. Down the deserted corridors, Billy literally carried the tourist. No time to stop and look, so the Buc guide babbled off the routine explanation about other clubs in the school: Business Association, Stamp Club, Tri 'Y,' Girls' Traffic, O. I. S. Staff, Boys' Traflic, Business Office, Class Collectors, Home Econ., Chess, junior Red Cross, Girls' Council, International Club, Cutter Office, Student Secretaries, Miss Pauly's Staff ..... Back to the main office, and Mr. John Q. Public, ex- hausted sightseer, decided that this was just where he came in, so, this is where you get off.
