By 8:10 most of the crowd is leis- urely making its way to the various home rooms. Only occasionally does the averageTrojanfind himself, like the boy in the picture, glancing apprehensively at the hall clock and calculating his chance to make a third floor home room in 28 seconds. Sometimes he does not succeedg then down the three flights of stairs again to join the grumpy line at the office counter for an excuse Written by an unsympathetic sec- retary. 1lAt 8:25 the average Trojan joins 2312 of his fel- lows in his round of classes. MRound is correct, for in the course of the day he and his classmates confront some 75 teachers in 354 different classes, a dizzy prospect if one stops to think of it. jlNo matter how interesting the class, the lunch bell never rings a moment too soon for the average Trojan. Since the advent of the Ripple system the day of the uthundering herdi' is forgotten. The average Trojan has been introduced by the host or hostess to everyone at his table, so the quips fall thick and fast. The changing of the lunch hours at mid-term does not bother the average Trojan. jlBy and large the average Trojan likes the Whole set-up pretty Well. He especially likes the proctor post, and he likes activity periods and assemblies. He likes the many friendships which have started in high school. Though it is not a reflection on the average Trojan, on his teachers, nor on his classesdwhat he likes most of all is the bell at 3:15. MORNING Page 10
