LTD., MAGRATE HI-RIGHTS BACK TO SCHOOL Well, now that examinations and holidays are over we must get caught up with the news. Pupils are back in curculation a- gain after a week of paradise. Almost everyone has resisted the glories of spring' time long enough to stroll back to school to doze and dream the next two months away. Whewy, but it was a relief to finish those exams! That little interlude of holidays just '"'hit the spot". Somehow it did something to us though, for not even minus quantities in marks can arouse our interest. Spring has cast such a spell over us that none of th© teachers can break it. After that first shock of discovering that you’re not as smart as you thought you were, it’s easy to just sit back and lot a kind teacher lull you to sle ep with his lectures — at least it would be if it were not for that Examinatiozj stage Time-Table which has appeared on
