Later, the dark company reassembled for another night of super natural tomfoolery. Their first creation was Extract of Library. The new recipe called for a pot twice as large astheone previously used due to an equivalent amount of added space in the new building. Into this huge new cauldron, the witches and wizards dropped soundproof conference rooms, an enlarged reading area, and a media production center. They stirred in additions to King Arthur's already large supply of literary works as well as cordless headphones and numerous microfilm readers which boiled and simmered until their separateness of structure disintegrated and they joined in fluid renaissance ls. Our Cauldron Runneth Cver union with the whole. Another viscous product of this same night of sorcery was an unearthly beverage called Thespian Broth. The recipe for its creation called for a new mini-stage classroom with carpeted audience section and stage, velvet-textured walls, comfortable seats with collapsible desk tops, and modern dressing room facilities. Consumption of Thespian Broth stimulates, in many, the desire to act amidst a considerable professional atmosphere suitable even for Shakespearean drama. For the second night's finale, the midnight gourmets produced a dish inspired by their brethren in the Province of Louisiana-Scientist Gumbo. lt is a true delicacy with extremely expensive constituents. The furnishings include lab tables Cseparated from the desksj with hot and cold water, electric outlets, and gas jets. Also in the recipe was the requirement of four huge, new classrooms and even an elevator. Scientist Gumbo's high degree of palatability comes from such herbs and spices as the chemical eyewashes, explosion vents, fire extinguishers, and master turn-off switches for student safety. Also included are numerous modern gadgets such as the rear projection screen Cwhich makes it possible to viewa film with the lights onj, and the new autoclave which kills bacteria with steam.

Time waddled by after the shenanigans of the second meeting and the midnight band decided to return again for a third and final cook-out. The first product of their mysterious overgrown crock pot was Military Soup. They poured it out next to the tennis courts and, after much chanting and incantation, a new ROTC building sprang from the ground like Jack's beanstalk. The witches and wizards were proud of this latest creation. The facility included three classrooms, two offices, a large supply room, and a ten-point rifle range-so commendable that it is shared by all junior military men of Irving on the Trinity's three grammar schools. The sorcerors had grown weary and desired to be off to other lands, but there were a number of extra Too Late to Make Dessert potential ingredients left. Wastefulness being the one vice not practiced by witches and wizards, they put all the scattered ingredients together in the cauldron and formed a Miscellaneous Goulash. The different elements did not mix extremely well and they coagulated into four separate components. First came a new and enlarged drafting room with numerous modern facilities. Another globule shaped itself into the garage-type classroom of Boys' CVAE where the trade of a general mechanic is taught. A Girls' CVAE room, complete with office- related machinery, provides knowledge of the Hnuts and bolts of the business world. The final semi-solid mass that formed in the gurgling brew was the new journalism department. As it solidified, the large classroom, new furniture, and numerous offices began to take shape. A production room, a photography lab, separate offices for CREST and CARDINAL WORD editors, and for the publications' advisor appeared. The mysterious creators of these architectural wonders giggled with delight at their creativity and inventiveness. Their physical shapes rapidly lost any concreteness that had existed previously and they vaporized into dark, misty shadows as the clock struck two.
