A new lunch-devouring system to round up fellow classmates was ushered in the last semester. Seniors. their heirs, and the ufollow-upsl' rushed in to the separate rooms at ll :30 o'clock. plopped in seats. and filled the rooms with paper-rattling. food- crunching, and tongue-bale bling. liaeh hgangl' was under the eagle-eyes of a 1'm,url.m3n'rrwnm' host and hostess chosen Reiner, Nelson from the senior class. Johnny Unionitc was sud- denly awakened from a pleasant day-dream by three blasts from the siren. An air-raid drill! He hur- ried straight to his locker. donned his coat and hat, Hlled his arms with valu- ables. and hustled to the hall near 131. There. hud- dled against the lockers, he awaited the all-clear signal. Johnny, like all Americans, would be ready if neces- sary. AI.l-IRT! W1-slvelcl, Sr-huur Kennedy, Vander Nlnlen. Yan llosten. LYNCH Ml NCIIERS Slanlling - MvD0vfell.
