Circulation: From Editors - To Pifss - To Yod- 'To Furnace Rrice: 75c per copy flacta Nostra Thrown in Freej December 2, l 947 Today the covered passage- way was officially opened. I should like to extend congra- tulations to our valiant Board of Education. This school has passed from an age of frozen girls and snowy books into an age of jostling crowds of strug- gling humanity. When YOU enter this man-made marvel just in time to meet an exu- berant crowd of students, YOU are miraculously transported back to the corridor. After removing any stray fists from your face, you bravely recom- mence your VOYHZS- On Tea' ching the top of the ramP- You are rewarded by a view of ver- dant lawns stretching Out to the Paisley Speed Highway- Then into the New School YOU emerge, ready to return to the day's duties. But the new passage does not eliminate all the joys of exercise in the fresh air. fm' our diligent caretakers have been instructed that on particu- larly joyous occasions, when the rain goes pitter-patter or the hail goes spitter-spatter, it would be wise to lock the pas- sage and administer a shining coat of wax to add to its lustre. Long live the passage-way! Throughout the school the students are dazedly enjoying the privileges of a higher edu- cation. Everywhere smiling stu- dents are dreaming of a happy night of homework when sud- denly the quiet by a thunderous, hum is rent rattling noise. Next comes the unmistakeable sound of a blow-torch in action on steel. Now the rasp of saws adds to the tumult. Sud- denly, diabolical laughter peals forth and we realize that Mr. uixon has succeeded in open- ing some poor victims locker. All is dark and still. hud- denly, foot-steps shatter the oppressive silence. slowly, they approach and we see a hand caietully Ieeung the brass plates at the top ot the lock- ers. Is it a J or an B?
