V614 Ulf alcfivfffea 7:30 Lights showing through the windows of our grand school building announce that we are having a hot time in the school house tonight. It may be a basketball game, or perhaps basketball practice by members of our team or some team from a neighboring school that hasn't the advantage of a gymnasium. Perhaps it is band practice, or the echo of the chor- isters in the music room may tell of choir practice. A packed auditorium and stage with its lighting effects show that there is a junior or senior class play in progress. A great deal of noise and a lot of fun signifies a party is on, while on another night, the music of some good orchestra beckons everyone to the dance. No matter what the entertainment be, everyone has a good time and at the stroke of twelve, the school clock, with its kindly face, bids everyone Good Night. 1279
