lAJIten the Contractor Came One morning I sat bolt upright in bed ! This may not seem particularly pec- uliar, but nevertheless it was. You see it isn ' t exactly a custom or tradition that induces me to sit up of my own accord at six o ' clock in the morning. I happen to be one of those persons that arises only upon being threatened or bullied at great length, and even with that, the process is painful. I yawned, blinked, stretched, made several loud groaning noises, and lay down again, deciding that I had had a bad dream. It must have been the same old dream about being demoted to grade one, and with that comforting thought I closed my eyes. The second time was worse than the first. I not only sat up in bed, but left it far behind, rising gracelessly into the air. Who on earth was making those nerve- wracking noises outside my window ? Maybe it was the teachers petitioning — but why so early ? My curiosity winning over my laziness, I stumbled quietly over my two sleeping room-mates before I realized that they were already at the window, gazing out into the cold and murky morning. While my eyes were focussing, I managed to yawn an inspired good-morning, and received the same inspired answer from two very tousled heads that always seem to look alike at that time in the morning. By this time our eyes had caught sight of a long line of trucks stationed out- side the window, and our mouths opened and shut in two-four time. Now I am not the type that panics easily, but it took all the restraint I could muster to keep from calling Fire . After overcoming our surprise at seeing the trucks, we noticed signs of life. In fact, the signs seemed to the large Economy size. Men with towering frames were lifting large boulders from a pit, and heaving them into a truck, drawn up beside the hole for convenience sake. Every few minutes one of the boulders would land smack on top of another boulder and produce a deafening noise. So these were the culprits ! J. OLMSTED PAGE TWENTY-FOUR
