CLASSES The bell rings and the instructor springs from his corner, anxious to meet his new set of challengers in this eighteen- week event. The challengers are anxious to begin, but most of them are in poor condition-no training rules to observe all summer. The training schedule is soon established, perhaps on the basis of a syllabus of game rules. The trainees make up their minds to work in this event. Their futures in the game may depend on it! Their training rules keep them hitting the books until their brains become toughened. Their training camp? The library most of the time! And running the ten-minute race from building to building-pausing momentarily at the Crossroads to discuss strategy with some fellow Challengers of another camp-is invaluable for keeping in shape! There's one thing about training for this game: One has to approach these events seriously if he's going to be successful in the Big Time. The training period often includes surgical methods.
