''Barbanell-Barbanell-Abe-Abraham Barbanelll Will some one lean over and wake Abe up. Jimmy, don'T pull his hair! You'll spoil ThaT lovely mane. CanTor-Max CanTor sTop doing your French homework and answer To your name. Copying The lasT senTence oT Frieda Gelber's French homework, Max looked up and meekly said, l-lere. Casey-Ed-Casey. There in The TiTTh seaT, TirsT row was Eddie Casey's personal arT gallery. The desk, seaT and every empTy space had been Turned inTo a canvas. Even his books had a Trade mark on Them which could noT be mis- Taken Tor anyone else's. Gabriel Cohen was bragging To young Murray BeckensTein Tor The hundredTh Time how easy iT was Tor him To geT his program changed. lT seems ThaT Gabe had a Triend, who had a cousin, who had a Triend, who knew someone ThaT worked on The program commiTTee. In a corner seaT saT David Einhorn. l-le was Tearing his hair aTTempT- ing To add columns oT Tigures Tor his bookkeeping class. Harry l-larrison had his ears monopolized by Louis Reynolds.

Aaron JaTTe sold The homework of yesTerday, day before, day aTTer, presenT and TuTure. Prices ranged Trom a nickel To a guarTer depending on how diTFiculT iT was To obTain The producT. Suddenly The door swung open and all eyes were Turned To meeT The inTruder. Alas, iT was only lvluldy. LaTe as usual. Same old excuse: he was helping The Dean. l-lelping The Dean! Everyone knew ThaT Sammy lvluldorT spenT more Time in The Dean's oTFice Than he spenT in class. lvluldorT, oT course, says he's sTudying To be a dean. -l'haT's his sTory. ln anoTher seaT was Abraham KosTiner, always geTTing in Trouble wiTh The S.P.'s. l-le never does anyThingq They iusT seem To pick on him.. lvlaybe They like his program cards. Poor KosTiner works so hard geTTing and Tilling ouT program cards. One would Think The S.P.'s will be The deaTh oT KosTiner. There were oThers in The class, each now Tamous in his own way.
