A FORENOON AT W. R. H. S. 8:15. Prof, rings ten bells and finds only one in working order. General settling down of all present. 8:20. Lyda and Wilda put in an appearance, both out of breath. Most of South and East Ryegate follow. 8:22. Marjorie and Edith discuss all the thrill- ing things that have happened to them since three o’clock of the previous day. 8:30. A voice from the front of the room— “Must I remind you to stand when you speak to anyone ?” 8:40. Lund appears (loaded with books???), looks guiltily toward the teacher, then begins to wonder what the lesson for the next period is. 8:45. Armstrong, whose tongue has run con- stantly from the time he got seated, is shut off by a command from the teacher. 8:50. The usual remarkable exhibits of “How to Walk,” by the brilliant Sophomores. Beulah Grant looks as though she were going to the guillotine instead of Algebra 4 class. 8:55. Harold Wilbur makes a trip to the waste paper basket.

Roben hunts up his lost ruler looking as scared as usual. The stampede of French sharks (?) to- ward Theda begins. Lloyd beats Frank- ie to it. Frankie looks crushed. Bob Brock consults either the dictionary or the Bible. Big jar! Building shakes! Blanche and Mary are coming up stairs! Chief of Police while in charge of room is visited by many knowledge seeking un- derclassmen. Marjorie makes the usual visit to Alice Rosa and Elizabeth Laternau who sit directly in front of—eh—well, Charles Wilson, maybe. All cops become blood thirsty and look for arrests. Everyone begins chewing pencils, books, erasers, or anything. Teachers start guessing if the bells are working—they finally do. Mad rush homeward.
