Puzzle, puzzle ev- erywhere, nor anyone to solve. lClever, am I not?l But this really is a studious looking class, even teacher is working hard to ex- plain this situation- if angle A equals-er, Iet's go. English Litl 205 is where you shake hands with tradition-you start hearing about it when you're a fresh- man. Let's see who's here-Byron, Keats, S h e I I e yg say, didn't B y r o n write The Lady of the Lake or something? O u c h, guess I said the wrong thing again! Since we don't have an elevator p e r m i t iWish I knew how to get one, thoughl, we'll have to climb these steps. That click- clacking you hear is from the typing room, 3I8. Sounds as though someone just made a mistake - y o u can't miss those remarks of disgust. But did you ever find a typing class without them? Every- body looks so indus- trious in here. Let's not disturb them, but just go into the French room instead. Well, I thought this was a French class, but we seem to have stumbled into the music room. Oh, I get it now- they're singing in Frenchl Pretty, isn't it? It I could only understand it! Page 8

The bell! We'd better drift along upstairs with the crowd, or else vve'll be crushed to death. Here's the boys' gym. Coach seems to be giving some pointers on basket- ball. Rather a lively game going on over there. Well, well, imagine that! Here we are in the Latin quarter all of a sudden! l guess this must be a plan of a Roman house. Before somebody mistakes us for a misplaced atrium or something, let's see what we can find in the math room.

Drafting is sort of mysterious to me, too. Look at all those fine lines and angles and curves that boy has on his paper. lt looks wonderful to meg hope the teacher thinks so too. We make quite a buzz between classes around here, don't we? Why don't we buzz into 3ll-it's a cir- cus! We'II get some more music, too, and maybe vve can under- stand the words this time. Quite a success- ful effort at three- pa rt harmony, don't you think? Even teach- er is contributing his bit, be it ever so large! l-lear that booming? That's our band - you've heard about it, of course. Let's drop down there. Even if they don't look so snappy without their uniforms, you can get an idea of their play- ing. Teacher's direct- ing today . . . he gets the music out of them, doesn't hel Our or- chestra is pretty swell toog we'll hear it later. Page 9
