Complicated by such matters as a fireworks factory in the basement and a grandfather who refuses to pay taxes, the situation is made more complex than ever by a romance between members of the two families .

The hands of an underclassman can best be represented as learning hands . Of course, all hands, regardless of size, shape, or age, are al- ways learningp but the hands of freshmen, sophomores, and juniors in high school are usually learning a little more than the average. Freshman hands are green hands . They have the large task before them of adjusting to high school and all sorts of subjects and activities which are foreign to them. One of the puzzles a pair of freshman hands has to ma- ster is the mystery of the x in algebra. But the big test comes about the end of September at the annual high school picnic, where the green hands are initiated and officially become members of the student body. Sophomore hands are busy hands . They are always at work learning something new. The hands in typing class find it is quite a task making those independent fingers hit the right keys and trying to make them move a little faster. Sophomore hands seem to be constantly nursing pricked fingers too. Those silly fingers are always getting in the way of a dissecting knife in biology or jabbing themselves with a compass in geometry. One of the big- gest thrills for a pair of sophomore hands comes the first time they grab hold of the steering wheel on the driver's training car and the climax comes when they finally pass their test and try to make themselves stop shaking long enough to sign their very first driver's license. Iunior hands become decorative hands when they slip that shiny, new class ring on the number three finger. They are nervous hands with slightly chewed fingernails the night of the Iunior Class Play as they thumb through that play book at the last minute hoping they won't forget anything. And final- ly, they become proud hands when the seniors get their first glimpse of the annual Iunior-Senior Banqeut. There is yet to be a pair of junior hands that doe sn't think they have created the most beautiful banquet possible. Yes, the hands of the underclassmen are learning hands .
