9,cMz,euJ.oJz,d The T952-l953 school year is presenTed in The Tollowing pages as seen Through The eyes oT Pal, a benevolenT springer spaniel, whose daily meander- ings Trom classroom To classroom make him a Tamiliar Tigure To everyone associaTed wiTh Allendale. Pal enjoys many disTincTive privileges noT accorded his TuiTion-paying Triends. l-le is never harassed by a complicaTed chemical Tormula or by The complexiTies oT a mixed meTaphor. When a class bores him, he unosTen- TaTiously Trundles OTT To a more desirable locaTion. Marks are noT The bane oT his exisTence, nor does he need To Tear The admoniTion oT an iraTe Teacher when homework is noT compleTe. WiTh a quieT and naTurally re- served aTTiTude, our good Triend Pal has ToleranTly observed The varied maniTesTaTions oT human behavior. This pasT summer Pal Tollowed wiTh nosTalgic awe The compleTe renova- Tion oT The school planT, including The consTrucTion oT a new shop and kiTchen, The sound-proofing oT classrooms, and The erecTion of a connecTing passage- way beTween The main building and The N I I 7 gymnasium.
