417141 lay 141 N021-da by Muriel M. Chrystie '40 Well, where do I go from here? Such was my thought as I entered the main door on my first day at North Quincy High. Timidly I ap- proached a door labeled Office. From the numbers of pupils gathered there the popularity of this spot was evi- dent, and overwhelming, to a new comer. 0f course, one cou1dn't ex- actly expect to be alone, but. . . . A very nice young woman behind the seemingly miles long desk must have realized by the lost expression on my face that here was a person in trouble. Out of the distance came her friendly voice. Is there anything I can do for you ? Then, in answer to my stam- mering explanation, What grade are you in? Grade? That was a new one to me. But a little thought enabled me to give an intelligent reply. There- upon she gave me a note and told me whom I was to see. Rather feebly I inquired the whereabouts of the room to which she wanted me to go - and went. After that every- thing happened in such a rush that my recollections are still vague. One thing is clear. A strange girl took me from room to room without, or so it seemed to me, rhyme or reason. I couldn't fand still can'tJ under- stand why every-body sent me to somebody else. I felt as if everyone were watching me. Probably they were. Finally the strange girl took me to my home-room teacher. By this time I was thoroughly lost. But, my home-room teacher! I looked up- 3 0 MANET and up- and up and finally saw his face gazing down at me from the clouds. A friendly face, it must be admitted. That is one good point about North Quincy High, every- body and everything is friendly. I was shown about the building by still another girl. Eventually we went back to the Assistant Princi- pal's oflice. He asked me numerous questions which I answered as best I could. Perhaps the answers were intelligent. Then, at long last, I was sent to a class room. Despite my confusion the day was fairly successful. My only real mis- take came during lunch. They told me to take the second lunch, when- ever that was, and so we went to the Cafeteria, always an interesting place to me. The tempting odor of the soup lured me into taking a bowl. I handed a dime to the girl who collected money. She looked puzzled. Then she explained that it was necessary to have the right amount of change. Embarrassed? Those seconds stretched into hours. Otherwise things went smoothly and I finally escaped from that monstrous building. For monstrous it is. The school from which I came averages about eight hundred and eighty pupils and thirty-five teachers. lk 1 ik Ill t Mary had a little lamb Whose fleas were white as snow, So where e'er the lambie went The fleas were sure to go.

Q5 The identity of the young lady is withheld, but the memory of her answer lingers , on with the in- structor. One of the requirements of the written quiz was, Define a bolt and nut, and explain the dif- ference, if any. The girl wrote: A bolt is a thing like a stick of hard metal such as iron with a square bunch on one end and a lot of scratching wound around the other end. A nut is similar to the bolt only just the opposite, being a hole in a little chunk of iron, sawed off short, with wrinkles around the inside of the hole. The startled professor marked that one with an UA . If 41 if if Ik He was considerably puzzled as to what to do about the cat, when he went on his Vacation. Finally he hit upon a bright idea.
