bly to welcome new students and to t1'y to make them feel at home. Mr. Sturges and Mrs. Sheldon, the vice-principals, when not meeting' classes, were in the general office helping' Mr. Hayden, tirace, and Ruth as trouble-shooters. 'l'he freshmen had so many new things to see, to do, and to learn that they were probably dizzy by the time the day was over--in fact, so dizzy that doubtless several of them took the wrong' bus home and had to return to school with Sandy or Bloc and start all over again. Probably every student had the problem of adjusting' himself to at least one teacher he had never had before. At the beginning' of each period one found his classroom, g'rabbed a seat, and, if the teacher was new to him, looked him or her over to try to decide if re- ports about him or her could really be true. After it appeared that everyone had filed in and found himself a seat, the teacher usually passed out text-books, having' each person sig'n l.y,,,,,.,A B. 5,,,,L,,0N as a library record. Other preliminaries might Vice'Principal of gms follow, depending' upon the teacher, but thc1'e were never enough pt'eliminaries to prevent S the teacher from finally opening the text-book and making assignments. Then one knew that vacation was really over and school had begun.
