The typical day in Forbes House is calm and relaxed - or so thinks an outsider as he views the re- spective members and customs of the house. However, such is not the case . . . An unearthly alarm shatters the early morning calm of 5:00 AMg Charlie Bolton shakes and wakes himself up enough to finish that extra long English assignment that he should have completed last night. The rest of the house curses softly and rolls over to catch two hours' more sleep. At seven, life appears in Welch's and Williams' room. Geo, after carefully pushing his hair out of his eyes and viewing with dismay the day Mr. Herzog ordered him to get it cut, notices his rope bracelet is pretty well worn-out and needs replacing. After rummaging through his drawers for a piece of suitable rope, he start weav- ing the new bracelet like a jungle medicine man. Timmy, meanwhile, has awakened enough to scan the array of pictures on his bureau fhe appears in 90? of themb and to cringe slightly at the sight of Welch's mangy lionskin in a crumpled heap on Geo's bed. He paddles into the bathroom to brush his teeth and shave. There, Brin Ford greets him with some comments about shaving once a month and to the effect of well-it's-about-time. After a successful repartee about not having to shave at all, Tim retires to the relative quiet of Geo's company. Brin returns to his room and, after fiddling with some homemade vol- ume controls and having some anxiety about overloading his two speakers, fills his room fand every room within a fifty-foot radiusl with the vibrations of WCOP. He disregards the math book which should remind him of the impending test, and, instead, contemplates the tracking efficiency of his homemade Before the Alcoves' inspection. DiSCUSSi0n before lights. turntable. Walter Channing has heard the seven-twenty yeller, which at least means that he won't sleep through breakfast, even if Zog would let him. After selecting the proper music to get up to, Walter re- lapses onto his bed and maps his social events for the coming day - and night. On the third floor, life progresses at a slower pace. Mike Bentinck-Smith shuffles out of his room just after he hears Swett start for the bathroom and his morning ritual. Mike makes a mental note to do an overhaul on his 1958 Ford 60 and to find some sucker who might possibly buy his Lafayette. Dennis Bell has procrastinated on his long paper long enough, and so this morning he starts his first and last draft ftoday is the day after it was duel. Dennis has let his room get a little sloppy, so now papers and letters cover his maple furni- ture and hi-fi. Spencer Borden hears Dennis' music, and, banging loudly on the wall, tells Dennis to turn it down. Finally emerging from his room, which is drenched in eerie green light, Spen, looking a bit dishev- eled, is ready for breakfast. His favorite breakfast comment - More cold, please!
