liDW'lN lf. SWANSON Sl1fu'riuli'mli'nt Birds On The Wing At six o'clock in the morning, if you open your window and listen, You will hear the feet of the wind that is going to call the sun. And the trees in the shadow rustle and the trees in the moonlight glisten, And though it is deep, dark night, you feel that the night is done. -Rllll-Yllftf Kipling All the young birds are shaking themselves, for it's time for school to start. There are many different kinds of birds who attend the Humboldt High School: the love birds, the cuckoos, the sap suckers, and the mag- pies, not to mention the night hawks, parrots, and mocking birds. But it takes all kinds of feathery friends to make a world. After reaching the building, the chatter and noise in the halls in- crease steadily until a small, round, little bird with a ruler under her wing appears in the door from room 9. It is strange how suddenly things become quiet, and how busy all the little birds are with their books or their lockers. But when she disappears again, the noise and twitter return. Finally the five-minute bell rings, and the gossip circles are broken up. The various love birds' billing and cooing cease and the birds disperse and flutter into their various class rooms. In room 6 is a physics class taught by a very pompous, little pelican whose tie is always crooked and from whose coat a button is gone. Here the birdies play around with batteries, wires, glass tubes, and similar mechanical devices. Very often one may see all of them scribbling in their thin, brown note books and drawing queer looking pictures in blank spaces. This activity is found most prevalent, however, during the eighth period on Friday. Another class is economics which is held in room 8. The master of this class is a blue jay, tall and thin, with a dark, crinkly crest on the top of his head. His classes are known for their aptness in picking an argument, so the story goes, and the teacher, also, is not exactly lacking in such qualities. Between 9:00 a. m. and 10:20 a. m. room 14 is filled with a group of very little birdlings. Here the innocents are taught peculiar chatter and they have even been seen on the assembly pro- gram before the whole school, dressed in sbeels. There is a rumor that they had a party in the cafeteria one dark night, and came draped in tablecloths, and actually Hl'l'l0ffI1l'di, to eat! There is a certain well-known English class fin fact S or 6 of themj taught in room 3 by a very learned English sparrow. In this class our little birdies study dangling participles and split infinitives and such nerve-wracking things. It's really quite impressive how they talk. And it is said of an afternoon, any time between 4:00 and 6:00 o'clock, if one happens to pass by the door of room 3 or of room S, one is likely to be startled by the amazing sounds radiating through the closed doors. If one anxiously inquires about the cause of these varying sounds, one's answer 8
