SCHOOL RULES AND REGULATIONS IAny resemblance between these rules and any school rules is purely coincidental. J PERSONAL Look neat at all times, but don't comb your hair in school. On Monday morning all necks are to be inspected to see if they have been washed during the week end. When you come to school tell your mother not to have any appointments. You may get sick. Mend smocks immediately, but not in your trade room. DURING CHANGE OE CLASSES During change of classes keep to one side of the hall. This is easy, for there is only one side. Only those going above the twelfth floor may ride. Everyone else must walk up. All elevators will stop at half floors. IN CLASSROOMS Only teachers are allowed to break windows. Therefore students are not to touch windows at any time. Girls will be told to remove smocks when it is hot in the office. IN LUNCHROOM Run around the Iunchroom to get on lunch line. This will help to give you an appetite. You may not hand money over the rail. lWhat about under it?D You may eat from the window sill but you may not look over at City College. When the whistle blows for dismissal stop talking immediately so that you may hear the teacher in charge scold all the girls who have not stopped talking. Use the down staircase down and the up staircase up, at all times except when going to the roof. Then use the down up. LAVATORY When you go to lavatory you must have a library pass. Do not use the paper to dry hands. Below the seventh floor use your petti- coat. LIBRARY When in the library use shelves for studying. The tables are for books. DISMISSAL Fold smocks without creasing. Monitors will attend to that. School hours are from 8:55 to 3:40. You will be marked late at 8:50. Early dismissals on assembly days C4:l5l. YE EDITORS

Micky, with his devilish teasing laugh cmd funny dimple in his cheek. Yes, everyone knew Micky with his cheery good-morning and friendly smile. Micky, at twenty, laughed at this crazy world and the world laughed back at him. Sure, Micky loved life and he knew just what he Wanted from it It you had met Micky, you would have had no real reason for remembering him. He was just another tellow to everyone except to those who really knew him. Micky could be seen most any day of the week in his dark green trousers and hat and his brown and green jacket. No, you probably wouldn't think twice about him, yet those who knew him will never forget him. l know I will not. It you had troubles, you could go to Micky and tell him. He would listen to you, sympathize with you, and while you were finishing your tale of woe, that funny little dimple would start dancing about and your troubles would, after all, not seem quite so serious.
