One afternoon in early spring I found myself with some time on my hands, so I decided to join the geography group in a little stroll up to the Blue Hills Observatory. Upon reaching the summit I was a wee bit disappointed in finding nothing to observe except a heavy mist. However, the remainder of the trip, spent looking over the world at Babson Institute and touring the Children ' s Museum, was most educational ... So I decided to make another trip with the sophomores and ended up pitching a hectic baseball game at Norum- bega Park. I guess I gave our big sister class a few laughs when I let that fly ball slip right through my open. arms. During my sophomore year at L.T.C. I began to ' settle down ' . It wasn ' t the warnings of the professors that did it, but rather, I decided it was about time I did a little thinking about somebody else for a change. So I pitched in to help with the class ' spaghetti dinner, and several other projects. I was pleasantly surprised to find that our class was becoming a truly respected organization at the school. I felt kinda ' proud of it, too. A fitting climax to the year ' s musical recitals (per- formances which were sometimes marked by the piano presentations with the aid of a little extemporaneous recorded bop in the background) occurred when a most illustrious ceremony took place.

and, instead of having a ' little brother ' , I came up with a pretty ' little sister ' who idolized me — I was an upper classman. Junior year brought many changes in everyone ' s life. The height of sophistication in those days was to wear dirty white shoes, so I wore them. I couldn ' t quite picture myself in the knee socks which had been adopted by some of the gals at ' Argyle University ' , so I let that fad die a natural death . . . But the days of the bucks and knee socks were numbered, because, from out of nowhere fell a phenomonon never to be equalled . . . Student teaching, called ' Practice school ' by the students. Practice? Not only did I practice, but I preached as well; to a group of doting youngsters who were trusting souls and put all their faith in Mr. Flaherty and his units. After all, hadn ' t this magnificent creature who stood before them actually survived a course that all the kids were talking about ? It ' s name was ' Methods ' or ' Mentals ' or something like that. Several other ' firsts ' took place during our Junior year. The boy ' s basketball team was in full swing, racking up impressive scores such as that which was the outcome of the L.T.C.-Keane game. I helped the team 15
