Su imming Mix together a long winter, stuffy classrooms and dreaded comprehensive reviews. Add the fresh smell of Spring, cool out- door breezes and the laziness of warm lectures. Apply simple rules of arithmetic and arrive at the number 60. What? Sixty? Yes, the no- torious, celebrated, unique slate quarry filled with instant relief to any wasted-by-warmth teen- ager.
