THE CLASSES Previously we mentioned the two main factors of a school, the faculty and the students. We showed you the faculty, and the next pages, like a magic mirror, show you yourselves. Day after clay you walk through the halls, sit through classes, swim and play basketball with your classmates. How often do you look at the guy who bumped into you, who throws spit balls when you recite, who messes up your best free-style and who fouls your trickiest shots? Maybe he's the best pal you've ever haclg maybe he's bigger than you and you want to get even with him for all he's clone. Here's your chance. The picture can't fight back. Hit him, slug him, do anything you want. Here he is. C5 ,E x 'Z ' rl ff -5. A! Y, 4 ,. - Y - 1 f , I ' 6 NN ,f I-si I 44:3 Z
