will, too. Gee, I wish this meeting would end. If only I could walk out, but I donlt dare. Miss Pulvermacher has just asked about her etiquette class. You'd never know she's a teacher. Shels so nice. Why, somebody once saw her standing in the hallg thought she was a pupil, and call-ed, 6'I'Ii ya toots,', to her. She didn't even get angry. My gaze wandered about the room. That's Miss Maas over there. What nerves she must have to remain so cool and competent with the click and whirr of type- writers in her ears all day. She would be the business-man's ideal secretary. Miss ing. In a minutels time the session was ad- journed and I, still unnoticed, made my way to freedom. As I crept past the fore- boding door I saw Mr. Allen talking to Mr. Radtke.

When I saw the teachers cheering for the good old blue and white, I was quickly reminded of the faculty- senior game. Only this time, they were cheering for the schooI's team.
