My nexT Technique is The Pass By Me As The Idle Wind. This I learned Trom Julius Caesar. The secreT oT This is To nonchalanTIy walk by as if you hadn'T a worry in The world. IT you are asked Tor a pass, a reply of WhyI I haven'T any! wiTh a sIighTIy quicker sTep will suffice. IT These meThods don'T succeed, Then Try The sixTh one. This is To-run! Our guards will be Too sTarTled To chase or, mosT likely, Too lazy. They will make a vow, He shall noT pass This way again, and ThaT may be The drawback To This meThod. The above menTioned Techniques are Tairly easy To Tollow. However, I TorgoT To menTion The besT way To geT around The Hall PaTrol. IT may sound silly, buT here iT is -ask The Teacher Tor The pass!

THOU SHALT NOT PASS Wanderers fhrough Columbus any period of fhe day will encounfer a sfrange crew of boys placed symmefrically around fhe building on one-armed chairs. These boys, known as The Hall Pafrol, are assigned fo guard fhe halls making sure fhaf no one, buf no one, goes by 'rhem wifhouf proper idenfificafion. This idenfificafion con- sisfs pf a scrap of cardboard called a pass which sfafes fhe year, fhe room, and fhe feac er. For fhe benefif of uneducafed freshmen, I should like fo leave fo my school my sysfem of evading fhese pefrified pafrolmen. l enfifle my sysfem Six Easy Ways fo Oufwif fhe Hall Pafrol. The simplesf scheme fo affempf is fhaf of using a subsfifufe for a pass. A small piece of cardboard or paper of fhe righf hue, inserfed properly in your palm and held af a disfance will look like fhe real McCoy. This is especially possible when fhe male on guard dufy is engrossed in his homework and is foo full of frig fo see sfraighf. The nexf mefhod is fo camouflage yourself. You musf prefend fo be eifher a freshman or a senior. The one fo fry firsf is being a senior. This is achieved by swelling fhe head fhree or four inches and giving fhe hall pafrol boys a Heaven-Pify-You look. When you are sfopped, you simply announce fhaf you are in 8-3, and fell fhe gesfapo fo wafch ouf on Blue Leffer day. The gimmick 'ro fhis is fhaf fhe boy reclining on fhe one-armed chair may jusf happen fo be in 8-3. If you feel fhaf calling yourself a senior is inflafionary, you may assume a fresh- man affifude. This consisfs of shrinking your whole self abouf fhree or four inches and giving fhe hall pafrol boys a pifiable look. You donif falk firsf buf answer all of 'rheir inquiries wifh fimid sobs. Mosf of fhe fime, fhis furns ouf successfully, buf affer a while if gefs on one's nerves fo hear freshmen lecfures on how l gof away wifh if. If fhese should fail, here's one fhaf will achieve ifs purpose fen ouf of fwenfy fimes. lf's perfecf if you're a female. A boy mighf fry if buf he will probably lack fhaf feminine charm. This is called fhe Hello, Baby fechnique. I fhink fhaf fhe boys will agree fhaf a pass from a charming co-ed is iusf as effecfive as a pass from a feacher. The fourfh mefhod is fo walk by as if foo busy fo be sfopped. A pair of glasses and a handful of papers will add fo your presfige. If you are sfopped, you simply quofe some famous office where you are rendering service, such as Mr. Wilson's, and generally you'll have no frouble reaching your desfinafion.

ABOUT FACE! If fhe purpose of fhe draff is fo prepare us for milifary service, as far as Colum- b+us isbconcerned, fhe Penfagon can repeal 'rhe acf righf now-our school has done f e io . Alfhough we have nof been consciously aware of if lcolumbusifes are rarely consciousl, fhis school has followed a program of basic milifary fraining fhroughouf our four and somefimes more years of affendance. Prominenf in fhis regimen is daily exercise for you, fhe prospecfive privafe. This is accomplished easily by program- ming a firsf period class on fhe basemenf floor af 'rhe norfh end of fhe building wifh fhe second period room on fhe fourfh floor, soufh end. Lunch lback fo fhe basemenfl is somefimes fhe fhird period class. Offen if occurs fhe sevenfh period. These exfremes are arranged fo accusfom us fo live for long grueling periods of fime wifhouf nour- ishmenf. Then, of course, fhere is fhe liffle maffer of food in fhe cafeferia and fha+'s all we gef, a liffle maffer. Careful fo observe fhe fheory of rafioning, 'rhe cooking sfaff works on fhe basis of allowing us only enough fo keep our sfomachs quief during classes. This is vifal, for in fime of war collywobbles may make our posifions known fo fhe enemy. lf seems also fhaf fhe chef has heard of fhe old saying An army fravels on ifs sfomach. Thus, in fhe course of dufy, he sees fo if fhaf many of our fellow sfudenfs crawl ouf of fhe cafeferia affer eafing a hof lunch special. Once in fhe lunchroom, fraining in hand fo hand combaf begins over fhe all foo few hard wood chairs. If defeafed, we can, wifh fhe aid of small candies, such as lemon drops and jelly beans, pracfice our firing aim by shoofing our enemies of fhe nexf fable. Since shell shock may offen be broughf on by explosions, we are also subiecfed fo fhe occasional pop of a milk confainer. lf follows fhaf affer four years of fhis we have gone complefely deaf and shell shock is no longer fo be feared. Now we come fo fhe gym. Firsf of all we musf clofhe ourselves in fhe uniforms provided by fhe C-5.0. Sfore, a shop which bears a sfriking resemblance fo fhe Army supply dump. Sneakers are sold fwo sizes larger fhan our feef warranf. Gym suifs
