Betwoon tho Bookonds
There arc various asundry groups of
studonts who solomnly and silontly wend
thoir wny down the long, dark hall to
the library. These groups, msy be di-~
vided into two catagories, the first of
which wo shall call, "noto=prssors and

Neither must we forget the "Seventh
Grader", who after the thirtieth warning
decides to send Boy Scout signals and
succeeds only in arousing the curiosity
of his fellow colleagues trying to de~
cipher the message.
Of course, there is the more scien=
tific-minded person who makes paper aer-
oplanes and then is afraid to fly them.
Consequently, he gets the largest book
in the library, accidently drops it on
your arm, smiles, and spends the rest of
the hour rattling the huge pages and
chewing gum. At every table, there is
usually one little number who is so af~
fected by the presence of the opposite
sex, that he does nothing but lean on a
book and stare vacantly into space.
This type usually contracts a cold every
other week, whereupon he spends most of
his time trying not to sneeze, The rew
sult is a long dravm-out sound, half-way
between a cough and a sigh,
