Wars Come and Wars Go: English A Goes On Forever

The terrors of war invaded the College's most historic course yesterday morning, turning what started out to be a normal English A examination into a mental air raid shelter.

While harrassed Freshmen were trying to concentrate on "Five Kinds of Writing," a hallowed textbook in a hallowed course, they were interrupted by a solemn-faced proctor who announced "in case of air raid, students may have five extra minutes for the examination." The startled Yardlings then returned to "Five Kinds."

Despite the forewarnings given by wary sky-watchers, no Nazi raider approached the examination hall, and English A endured its umpty-sixth mid-year exam without the ignominy of aerial competition.
