A. T. not "to' the class; for perilously
suspended though it bc, it has, never
yet fallen! .
Then the A. T. has a "spare~' in a
study·room. Why it is called a
"spare" is as great a mystery to the
A. T. 8.'1 fate and the income tax!
One's forty-eight guests arrive, usually
equipped with Iiterature.books,
generall~' recognized, by every pupil,
as the neatest disguise, while he unburdens
his soul to his entirely sym·
pathetic neighbour. Afte.r the eMy
relaxation of the "spare" one proceeds
to Room 5 and one's last exposition on
"se suaque." One's interest in it is
waning. One can no longer make
even the reflexive appear to be oue's
fayourite indoor sport. One is mildly
interested, however, in the daily
record of erime on the class-pad, and
in the amazingly appropriate answel'S
given by the member of the class who
regularly answers the third qnestion
back-the one he heard in his last
waking moment!
It. is 3 o'clock! The A. T.'s natural
impulse is to enjoy himself and be
a human being! The natural impulse
is checkerl b~' the editor of "The
Magnet" who demllnds a (humour­
01/s" article! The'last tragedy!
