This brings Emery from his'room yelling To heck with,,.thoxows! Let us go down and get the green chair, so that we can be comfortable fgunghe duration of the night. Slowly, the other members of the club enter the sacro-sand? viewing room. Everyone com- posed, but the is no picture. Club technician john Talbot steps up to remedy the difficulty. Be careful, john, 1 still plugged in! - Luckily he is used to absorbing electricity, and therefore recovers'quickly. Bob Norris, the religious consultant, suggests that we give the third floor a chance to become members. The motion is passed, and we volunteer to get them. Up two flights of stairs and down the long corridor we go, passing myriads of sweaty notices. We pause for a moment of silence outside the room that once held Ann Watson, then enter to find Bolton and Swett having a heated discussion as to the advisability of investing in AT8cT orethe Baltimore: Trust Co. After hearing the usual arguments about work and the OSB, we drag them clown. While we have been gone, Big Bill has been faking out Bob and vikefversa. The arg'iiment is getting a little personalg but they break it-up when we come in. We are once again comfort- ably settled, when a great flash of light momentarily blinds us. Darn it, Wedge, can't you ever stop taking pictures? just then,..the first commercial comes on, Ballantine Beer. With a sigh, the boys settle down for a good night's rest. is S' ' Q nf-c an .

i ' Mi ff ar It is late on Saturday night, or early Sunday morning, and by cautiously slipping up the back stairs we will evade detection. But wait! What is that soft wailing noise coming from the second floor? Opening the door, we pinpoint the sound: WHRB's jazz orgy, proceeding from Stone's room. Surrounded by loveglpletters and Science Fiction, he is happily reading glgglatest Asimou robot tale.

Despite the fact that Robbins House is decidedly a crumbling fortress, and has been des- ignated as one of the primary and basic needs of the Fund Drive, it still seems to retain much of the character and spirit which has distinguished it for so long. Its hallowed walls still stand miraculously, steeped in long suffering traditions, and cemented together by old Spanish customs. It has even held up under the stress and strain of all seventeen members of the Class of 1960, and this in itself is quite an achievement. The Robbins House First Class, moreover, has become a controversial subject to many in the school not the least of which are the usurping Upties. It has been referred to by one mem- ber of the faculty as an intellectual monkeycagef' Thus, as is quite usual, the Robbins House First Class has left an undeniable if not an indelible mark upon the school. Whether that mark is for the better or the worse we can not say, but only hope that it is the former. A quick glance at the First Class, starting after supper on a typical night will reveal a great deal, for they really begin to live after seven, although in reality it's at least ten past before the daily golden bell is rung by our omniscient housemaster. The first notable ritual and unescapable event on the evening's agenda is Sarge Collier strumming away on his guitar surrounded by various Upties, and aided often by nimble Cher- ington on the bongoes. Across the hall, Burnham is methodically pounding and butchering the piano while composing his own concerto, which is usually not finished until about nine- thirty when he starts to work, catching a few hours here and there of sleep. Charlie Bolton sud- denly comes whirling through from Forbes House, almost knocking over Mr. Hall and his reti- nue in the process. He wedges his way through the crowd in a frantic search for Bingham to tell him that the O8zB must come out or he will lose both the Rogers Peet and Brooks Bros. ads. There is now chaos on the first floor which ceases abruptly upon the appearance of the dapper Mr. Daley, and the sound of the 7:25 bell.
