Following the joker ' s directions, Alice walked on until she caught sight of a large caterpillar sitting on a mushroom. Much to Alice ' s surprise, this particular caterpillar was smoking a hookah from which arose a wisp of blue smoke. While Alice was wondering what was the proper manner in which to address such a creature, the caterpillar slowlv took the hookah from his mouth and yawned. Who are you? he demanded sleepily. Why, I ' m Alice ... at least, I think I am. What do you mean bv ' think ' ? asked the caterpillar severely. Don ' t you know? I ' m afraid not, replied Alice timidly. You see things happen so peculiarly here that I ' m never sure who anyone is. Well, stated the caterpillar, you must be somebody, because if you weren ' t somebody you would be nobodv, and if you were nobody, you wouldn ' t be here, so if you are somebody, there must be someone, somewhere, who knows something about who you are. That ' s logic! Come, we ' ll try to find out if vou are Alice or someone else right now. 27

Absent: Boram, Brown, Fanning, Fenn, Snyder. umord Let ' s begin here. There ' s a small chance that you might be a Junior. I ' ll describe a typical Junior to you, and we can see if you fit the description. To begin with, a Junior is always working when he ' s not jellying and always jellying when he ' s not working. Between the two, he ' s quite a busy person. He often extends his jellying into the classroom where, in conjunction with two or three of his cohorts, he presents impromptu concerts. On more formal occasions, he entertains the whole student body and the parents with his voc alizing. His musical talent has enlivened many a party and contributed a great deal to the success of the Vaudeville and the Opera. Let me hear you sing something. Although Alice disliked being ordered about so peremptorily, she politely complied and began to sing There Is a Tavern in the Town . After the first few notes the caterpillar interrupted her. Stop, he cried, that ' s enough! I can see very clearly that you ' re not musically inclined. Do you have your driver ' s license? A Junior spends most of his spare time traveling from nowhere to no- where at sixty miles per hour. But, as I said before, a Junior also finds time for work. He is in charge of study hall, the high school parking lot, and the lunch line. These jobs give him authority over the conduct of even the high and mighty seniors, and thereby prepare him for the position of leadership he must assume next year. Oh, said Alice, I can ' t even steer a rowboat, so I don ' t think I could ever take over a position on a leadership. Well, then, said the caterpillar decidedly, you ' re not a Junior. 28
