N . Q - G .U g us to or er. is means that everyone should be in his respective seat in the Assembly Room, and the monitors ready to report for roll call. Qf course, it is the most difficult thing in the world for the Seniors to be quiet, as they always seem to have very im- portant business to be taken care of at that particular time. However, as soon as we spy Miss Mac Queen advancing toward us with her proper equipment for taking roll, the business transactions cease immediately, and are postponed indefinitely. Roll is taken in the first two or three rows when we hear a low mumbling in an undertone near the front of the room. bliss Mac Queen immediately glances toward the direction and says, Buster, please turn around and keep quiet until I finish taking the roll. VVhy, I was just asking Lee what our Physics lesson is, and he was looking it up for me. That will do, Buster, I don't want to speak to you again about talking. Roll is now taken, it being Friday, our cheer-leader, Edward Bartelt, rises and faces the Seniors. Qf course, we all understand what he means: promptly we begin- Lious, lions- Hear us roar! Seniors, Seniors- Twentydfour. After this there is a grand hub-bub: everyone talking, and making more noise than the next one. We listen to a few other yells from the various lower classmen: finally deciding that we are capable of making more noise than any other class, which I think no one will deny. VVe now find that it is 9:00 o'clock so we must ransack our desks to find all the books, papers, assignment books U7 pens, pencils, erasers, and all other necewary equipment which is to be taken along to class. Miss Nlac Queen passes us to classes and finds it absolutely necessary to stand exactly beside the door so as to keep us in line, and prevent us from running ahead of each other down the hall. I don't under- stand why they should be so particular about our taking our time, as we are all so anxious to get to class and begin our hard day's work! VVe arrive at the History Room, finding Miss Fehlhaher standing just outside the door slowing down our speed sufficiently enough to allow us to turn in the entrance, stopping us from rushing past. The three rows of chairs are in straight lines across the fioor, and they are just as straight after we are all seated. fYou may use your own imagination about this.D Our History teacher advances to the front of the room without our hearing her, on account of the talking and quarreling about our seating arrangement. Roy Schuler is determined to sit between Myrtle and Mabel, and at the same time the two girls want to sit next to each other. The argument is soon settled when Miss Fehlhaber seats them according to her own desire and wish. She calls 'for order and in about ten minutes we are all fairly quiet. We are told to put aside our Literary Digest and prepare for recitation on the articles assigned us on the day before. Then the fun begins. Naturally, everyone wants to recite at once: and, therefore, before long disorder reigns in the History room. Miss Fehl- haber again calls for order: and finally calls on Vera for information on the subject. As we all know Vera always reads her Literary Digest thoroughly, and is usually ready with a good recitation. Before she has finished we hear a low grumbling and a general dispute. Vera's recitation is concluded, and it is discovered that both Russell and Kenneth disagree greatly with several of her remarks. Our heroine immediately sits up and takes notice, ready to defend her statements in every respect. A Page F orty-seven

The topic which is being discussed happens to be concerning the votes for and against the Mellon Tax Reduction Plan. Vera upholds her side in saying that the percentage of votes cast for the plan greatly outnumbered those against it. Russell disagrees with her and remarks brightly, Well, I don't believe thatg I read in last night's paper that the Mellon Plan isn't any where nearly so prominent as it was some time agog the people now are changing their minds considerably and would rather have the Bonus. I got those facts from the Chicago Tribune, and several other good newspapers. VVell, drawls Vera, l'm just telling you what the Digest says about it. Oh, that Digest, it's all bunk. The stuff in there is all way behind the times. I don't believe in it whatsoever. It's nothing but a scrapbook made up of ideas of all the good-for-nothing newspapers in New York, and some more of those places. They expect us to believe all that is published in that little, dinky magazine. It is now that Miss Fehlhaber rises up to put a stop to the argumentg and tries to tell liussell of the value of the Digest, but to no avail. He practically closes his ears to it and maintains his own rude opinion of it. Annette is next called on for contributions and additions to what has already been given. lt is now that Russell turns side-wise in his chair, leans his head on his hand and gazes out of the window. He prepares for a few minutes rest while Annette recites a few hundred words in a continual How. By the time a few more people such as Irene, Hfldegard, Gertrude and john H., have had a chance to express their opinions the first bell rings, and we gather up our belongings in order to be ready to pass to our next class, Physics, as soon as the next bell rings. A shrill sound tells the History class that it is time to vacate and move on to the next class. Instead of going down both flights of steps as every one else does, Buster swings himself over the railing and lands down at the second Hight. This shows how ambitious he is and how anxious to get to Physics class. When we arrfve at our next station an altogether different procedure takes place. Mr. Peck casts a side-wise glance at his class which means, Be quiet. 'I he demon- strations combined with recitations deal with the subject of electricity. Our famous demonstrators and experimenters perform several interesting demonstrations including the receiving of electrical shocks by touching heavily charged objects. When Mr. Peck asks for suggestions as to :1 way of insulating the wires in an electric flat- iron, John Fredricks is ready with a fine suggestion of using sealing wax. He won- ders why the class roars until Russell remarks, Why don't you use butter or some- thing like that ? After Physics class is over we have two free periods which are spent to very good advantage. Everyone has plenty of work to be done, and the time between l0:30 and 12:00 o'clock seems very short. We all come to the conclusion that we have earnestly earned a good dinner when Miss Pardee dismisses us at noon. The afternoon session is begun with a study period. If we Seniors have nothing else to do we sit watching the Freshmen go through some of their foolish, every-day procedures. Of course, our Latin must be prepared as well as the English lesson. There are usually a few minutes left to go to the library. Soon the 2:00 o'clock bell rings and we gather up our Three Centuries of American Poetry and Prose 1 our Latin books, note books, and all the other necessary apparatus. We hardly get the class room door closed behind us when the tardy bell rings. As there are only ten members in the Latin II class no special nor permanent seating is required, although there are but few who have anything but a temporary seat. Buster is not allowed to sit in the back row: Vera must not sit within three chairs of Russellg and Edward ard Lee must be separated by a few chairs. Lorraine Paul and Lorraine Koehler have always been fortunate enough to maintain their original places. Although there are only ten Latin II students, this doesn't, however, Page Forty-eight
