During the spring and fall a familar sight is some thirty boys playing tennis in their after¬ noon gym classes and about sixty more boys waiting for their chance to use the courts. The Bulletin of Tufts College says: “All stu¬ dents are required to complete Physical Edu¬ cation 1-2 and 3-4 in order to be eligible for a degree.” Freshman obey like sheep, sopho¬ mores cut, juniors scoff openly, and seniors find their graduation in question until they make up their twenty-three classes. Let’s see, there are five gym classes a day. Well that means it will only take four and a half days and twenty-three dollars. I could write home and say I need the money for senior expenses, or I could work a little ... no I’ll write home. That will he easier. We don’t have many sand traps on our diminutive golf course but this year there did ap¬ pear one beaut of a water hazard, which became a popular spot during the winter. 23

You can always find some Tufts stu dents in the Ball Square Theater. With its late closing hour, Carroll’s is a popular stop after a dance, the mo vies, or for just a weekday mid¬ night snack. Relaxation is very necessary because every¬ one knows, “All work and no play makes Jack a patient for the psychiatrist.” Close by the campus, we find several famous gourmets’ havens and an educational film theater. One might wonder why it is that people who claim they’re exhausted from studying and need a rest flock in droves to crowded places where they breathe smoke, bend elbows, or strain to see Marlon feed his pigeons. Never¬ theless, some become so relaxed they pass out completely. Anyone who does not know the outside and inside of Hys cannot truly consider himself a Tufts graduate. 22

The slide rule amazes all non-engineers. That one piece of equipment can multiply, divide, and find any root seems impossible. Surely it must be the size of a Mark computer. Recently an engineering student discovered his rule to prop open the window at night. L. A. roommate using his precious slide During the Winter labs seemed like fun. But ivhen Spring arrived the green grass and warm sun beckoned and, oh, hoiv the laboratory sickened us. The fun had worn off; lab was now just work. 24
