Strange Interlttelle My legs ached with each succeeding step and repugnance filled me as I drew near to the locker room. I remembered the torturous exercises we had engaged in during Health Education the previous day and my Charley-horse warned me n0t to risk a repeat performance. It was at that moment that I began to drift slowly away from the summoning locker room doors and with the piercing shriek of the bell I awoke to Hnd myself seated at the desk in the Legend office. Anguish poured through me as I desperately tried to plan a belated entrance into my scheduled Health Ed. Class. A sudden gust of wind, accompanied by a bellow of thunder, interrupted my thoughts. As I turned to close the window a fantastic sight greeted my eyes. Tumbl- ing back into the chair, I stared wide-eyed at the sight before me. Slowly the pages of the calendar began to rise and within a few eerie moments the past was revita- lized. The hands of time retreated l0 years, 20 years, 30 years and then stopped. As a streak of lightning flashed across the room the Figures on the calendar seemed to come to life. For a moment I could not perceive who these strangely clad people were. Suddenly an old photograph of my mother darted across my mind. This was 1920, of course, and these girls were Happersl But what were they doing here and why were they beckoning to me? As I drew closer someone handed me an examination and ordered me to sit down and answer the questions. These girls were being given the most important test in their lives and now I too, must take it. As my eyes skimmed the title a surge of confidence swept over me. This was a comprehensive High School examination, and after having spent four well-taught years at Lafayette, I should be able to skip through it with ease. How is H2S prepared in the lab? Chemistry. I seemed to recall vaguely something about properties, valences and ions that they tried so hard to teach me. How vividly I remember that day in Chem. 1 when the lab reeked with an odor of rotten eggs. I suppose it wasn't the teacher's fault that the temperature had dropped to 100 below zero that morning, but why did he have to open the windows? I didn't mind the frost forming on my breath but the design on my new nylon blouse was ruined by the polka-dot pattern of goose-pimples on my skin! As a lower termer I often wondered about that strange aroma which took possession of the first floor several times during the term. Now I knew-I-I3S. 7 P fyvf' f T I . 1 l fr rl rl ,f 2? ,i .ff Q, I: I , X Ill: 4, X S, ,, it L W, ,Y B x 1 4 E -1 XXX I Tx N If ' 113 Z I E1 If -T., - ,M ,A A, ,ft.lliustilLaI-:T-ga 1- A ft 1 JI -- CO ff! fill? lsr I ..
