unfortunate enough to receive hours for any one of a variety of major and minor offenses report to the Auditorium after the seventh period, where they arc assigned an hour of some sort of manual labor by Mr. Armstrong, who has become beloved as the gentle mentor of the detention system. The minor jobs which would otherwise have to be done by outside labor or by part of the staff of employees arc thus done without additional expense to the School. There are also some few boys who spend their afternoons working on the School farm, earning a reasonable wage for their work, which they consider invaluable experience. The afternoon is brought to a close, for many of the Sixth Form, by tea in the Headmaster’s study or at one of the faculty homes. The daily tea in the study is a welcome chance for the form to get together to compare notes on the day’s activities. There is always a good supply of records, although their vintage usually depends on the time since the most recent vacation, and the boys are apt to linger there to listen to music and talk with whatever faculty members happen to be there. The tea presents an excellent way of satisfying appetites and bolstering up the boys for the period of showers, jobs, inspections, and chapel which precedes the evening meal. There could be no better way to close an active afternoon.
