8:30 A.M. Promptly at 8:30 classes begin. (The students begin much later.) At this time the windows in room 12, are flung open. Mr. Falco has arrived. You draw your coat about yourself more tightly and prepare for a lecture in History of Western Civil- ization, a basic freshman course. In other words, this course is one you Gotta get through. 9:20 A.M. First period is supposed to end. 9:32 A.M. First period ends. You are now two min- utes late for Spanish class— a fact dwelt upon at length by its teacher. Dr. Jaeckel. After explanations the class proceeds as normal with its translation. Today, how- ever, Spanish is neglected for a few min- utes, and you find yourself in a discussion of philosophy that will be remembered long after Spanish has been forgotten. 10:20 A.M. You beg, buy, borrow or— a cigarette. If you are a lady, you smoke it in the Lounge; if you are a gentleman you smoke it in the Lounge. Otherwise, you sneak it in the front hall. 10:30 A.M. A brisk workout consisting of four flights of stairs brings you to your one modicum of Culture, the Art Appreciation class. Here, with Mr. Cavanaugh, you discuss the various aesthetic movements, their rep- resentative paintings and who done ' em. 11:30 A.M. Class ends and you enter the mad, mad race for a sandwich in the Hot Shoppe. 11:45 A.M. Sandwich ends and you enter the mad, mad race for a deck of cards. If you get cards, you play; if you don ' t, you kibitz. If you ' re uninterested, you gossip. 27

Engineering 101 French 201 12:29 P.M. You stroll to class. 12:33 P.M. Mr. Hammatt bustles in smiling and class begins. Mathematics is very IMPOR- TANT to the future engineer since it is the basis for physics and chemistry prob- lems, says he. This course is exceedingly difficult. However, Mr. Hammatt ' s occa- sional witticisms make the time go faster, and information come easier. 1:15 P.M. Everyone wonders if class is really out early, or if his watch is wrong. 1:30 P.M. You pick up your slide rule and go to chemistry lab (what is there about a slide rule that makes everyone look so very scientific?) You speculate apprehensively on the experiment for today. 1:40 P.M. In the last ten minutes: You have re- ceived your lab sheets and your mate- rials; cleaned your equipment; lighted your bunsen burner; and, talked a little. Now you actually get to work. 2:30 P.M. The halfway mark; nobody is on sched- ule, but the bright boys. 4:30 P.M. The class begins to finish more or less on time. For most of you it is less. 4:45 P.M. Classes are over. Everyone is now fin- ished (physically and academically) and free. However, there is a small matter of the English assignment for tomorrow: that research theme chapter; and, a Footlight- ers ' meeting tonight; and etc. and etc. 28
