Wading through throngs of people he finds an open path being cleared by Lewis Martin, assistant princi- pal, rearranging groups that are situated in the path of oncoming traffic through the Commons. As the 8:15 bell rings, students proceed somewhat hngeringly to homerooms. With students shding breathlessly into their chairs, Mr. Lynch begins the morning an- nouncements, This is Monday . . . 23
