The months that passed were long, filled with jungle exams, and tattle-tale cards, made out by our too-honest instructors. In this year too, we were in- troduced to the jungle's famous show, “Carousel”, this year called, Look Back In Laughter . Soon our luck had brought us to warmer country; thus, basking under the warmth of the jungle sun, we picnicked be- neath eLocatrecs of Loot Jungsle™,..
