Linda Rogers demonstrates her skill in a spectacular baton review. The time is a few minutes past six: and the only people left in the building are the Custodians, a few dedicated teachers with papers to grade, Mrs. Wold, and the LOG staff The striking silhouette in the hall is that of Mrs. Gotthardt and Miss Van Houten.
