U- Hfffffff Callfgp UlliI'l'l'XifJ' of Norllv Crzrolinu As we enter what we presume to be a history class, we pause in astonish- ment at the words of wisdom flowing from the pupils, mouths. They go from Columbus clear to Trumanf, says Squeakic. How wonderfulfi we enthuse. We never got past the Civil War. We start in surprise as Miss Tobin says, Speaking of the Civil War, fand we thought we were being so quiet tooj how do you spell APPOMATOXPD Poor kids, sighs Squeakie. This class has more trouble with spelling than they do with dates. We can imagine, we say, admiring a sweet young thing in the third row. I think Ild better take you back to the junior high, says Squeakie knowingly. . l-1. .l -l1.ll. Why are all the girls paying such good attention in this class? we ask as we peep in fleetingly at Mr. Higham. Guess,,' is Squeakieis answer. Here's Miss Cheney's class. Good old fundamental history, we says appreciatively. That's im- portant whatever you do. fmzrlccn

ENGLISH Wham that Aprille with hes shoure soote Squeakie did you say English class? Sure. These are Miss Adkins' juniors learning Chaucer in the original. Well-er-what's the point? That,s what they're wondering right now. Miss Adkins teaches the speech class too. Sheis quite interested in dramatics and would like to be an actressf' I I Ei S The droght of Marche hath perced to the rootef' f ' 1 J Squeakie, how do you know all these things? Oh, says Squeakie smugly, I have my ways. Let's go over to Miss I-Ianway's class and see what they're doing. We willingly agree, being thoroughly confussed by Ye Olde Englishe bye nowe. As we wander in we hear, Is this the dagger which I see before me The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee ! Squeakie! There's going to be a murder! D0 something! Now don't get panic stricken. It's only a passage from Macbeth. We relax. Remember cherubs, your Shakespeare notebooks are due Monday, Miss Hanway remarks as the bell rings and we watch the happy little faces fall. Who are these sedate looking people? The seniors. They have progressed to world limi' Ah, now weire getting somewheref' Also term papers. Uh, maybe it's better to be a junior after all, we say reconsidering. In between term papers, they've studied Oriental Literature, French, German, Scandinavian, American, and-Oh-lots of other stuff. That must be interesting, but doesn't anyone ever learn any grammar? Just come with me and I'll answer that question. Squeakie struts out the door and we meekly follow him to Miss Garwood's junior high English Class. Miss Garwood is a Latin-American fan and loves to travel in the summer. But in her spare time she teaches English? No, no, you have the wrong idea entirely. The kids here learn their English thoroughly, and I mean it. Jeanne Garwond Ali. Flora Slum' Muflwr College, W4'.vll'r11 Rl'.Xl'7il'l' Fawn Adkins l3.A.

SCIENCE + a+ +and 1 -,- 3 Pwslcfxls toucf-mom Our ears are suddenly blasted by the sound of a shrill whistle. Someone escape? WC ask. I think that was Mr. Barnes showing the physics class his steam engine,' answers Squeakie. He teaches Biology, too, but there's nothing he likes better than a good old steam engine. Then cutting up worms is not his real love. Not especially. The budding biologists go on hikes and collect leaves and all sorts of interesting things, that is if you like that sort of thing??? Well, now thatls settled, let's go on with the gym.', Oh, look Squeakie, a boxing match! l'That's right. And that's Mr. Mefort showing 'em how. He told me once his childhood ambition was to grow up. Oh well, one can't have everything, Suddenly the bell rings and we find ourselves surrounded by beaming girls in blue gym suits. Miss Davis appears to decide who should wear the red tops. She's really sports minded, says Squeakie. Especially hockey and the Barons. A Woman after our own heartf' we murmur. Florence Davis Carlton Mefort A.B. M.A. Howard Barnes A.B., B.S.-Ed B.S. MS.
