 A Busy Day
 Ii isn't often that there is bus y A day as this one was. There was 4 speaker at assembly, graduation chorus period a baseball game with Burrillville in the afternoon. and the Sophomore plays and dance at night i Of course everyone had to go to mus 5ie and assembly,: but there were almost as many at the game and the plays. ln some way there seems to have been q great change in spirit The seventh issue of the Blue and ! White Banner was on sale III the of Z fee and before school begun at eight loclock more than two hundred copies had been sold As this is such sue cess in the school and as there are q good many outside subscribers, fl has been possible tu reduce the price Co al- most half of what it was last year and still make tho paper bigger financial success than ever before.
 There didn't seem to be SO much ! talking on the stairs as there was last veaf and that seemed especially queer no me. as there were no traffic "cops to make one keep still.
 Th uefch ia assembly was rather df. hut the attention was exception .all 4ar and as if iaekH Hheie period us one kicked II made mc think oi how badly iuaed Co feel when such 8 thing happened
 During the second period | was standing u front of the library door HWhea tbe hre-bell rang. was glad was able Co move quickly. for other wise ho1ld probably have been run assa.a The heildiae- sas cleared sn i tust thirty-0nc seconds. That wash a record. either, for they told me that once everyone got out in twenty mine, and that the average time was around thirty two for all periods; the best we made last year was thirty sec onds.
 The music period came just before lunch The graduation chorus was lpracticinR. and the music sounded good enough for the stage then.
 Of course no one reached over the railing or cut into line at the lunch counter The food looked and tasted just as good as ever.
 Better Than Ball Game
 Glasses seemed te 20 about the same as they used to until l went into Room 1 seventh period for the Senior Eng 1 fish recitation on Burkes Consolidation. i Remembering last year ] thought l l knew about what Co expect. Do you reeollect how hard it used to be on the 1 last period Friday with a baseball game in aw hour Co keep your attention on the reasons why England should eoncede to the wishes of the eoloniesG Well. 1 did. and surely got the sur prise of my life when l heard that recitation. ft was better than the game.
 was sorry that I couldn't have come the next Friday, for the debating team was going to have an argument with TourteIl0tte, and it would have been interesting. though it couldn't Dc more exciting than our Senior class de- bate on the proposition that girls basket ball should be abolished in F. iH s. By the way, it hasn't been abolished.
 After school the corridors seemed crowded. No one seemed to have gone home and I couldn't imgaine why. The thought that they were all staying to see q baseball game with Burrillyille never entered my head. Twenty-Five at one of these games was e big crowd | last year, but no one seemed to be al all surprised now t0 see two hundred
