Another change of classes, and the third period be- gins. When this period is finished, the boys get their Mass Books and proceed to the Cathedral. A different member of the faculty celebrates Mass each week. It is a dialogue Mass with the boys singing hymns and an- swering the priest in Latin. There is a brief sermon, a large portion of the student body receives Communion, and the Mass is completed. Half the students hurry to lunchg the other half goes to class. The enrollment is so large that only half the students can fit in the cafeteria at one time. The lunch hour provides a break in the otherwise busy day. It is a time to sit and talk, to refresh oneself for the work of the afternoon ahead. Some boys go outside for a breath of fresh air before classes begin again. During each lunch period there is an impromptu rally. An important game is coming up tonight and everyone is eager to help cheer the team on to victory. When the bell rings, the rally breaks up and everyone goes back to class. There are three more periods in the afternoon. At 3:20 the final bell rings and school is dismissed. The students go to their lockers, take the books they need for homework, and stream out of school, happy that one more day is finished. But some still remain in the school. For a large number of boys there is practice in one of the ten sports in which Prep has a team. There are clubs to suit everyone's tastes, from bowling league to a chess and debate club. The art room is crowded with boys making posters for sports events. Perhaps there is a committee meeting to help plan for the next school dance. There is plenty of activity going on for those who are interested. By five-thirty the halls are once again empty. The boys who have jobs cleaning up after classes are fin- ished and go home. The lights are turned off and the doors are locked. Everything is ready for tomorrow o
