Not that it’s hard to get swim ming caps or anything, but those four shower caps you squeeze into in desperation aren’t exactly ideal. Finally you get into the water. From then on it’s not so bad, you say to yourself as opti mistically as you can, consider ing-that your teeth are chattering to the tune of “Into Each Life Some Rain ' Must Fall.” At 9:40 you dash out of the pool. You have plenty of time to get to Sparks Building for your ten o’clock,, of course. All you have to do is take a shower, grab a towel, dry yourself, hand in your swim suit and towel, make an attempt at drying your drip ping-wet hair, dress from top to toe, and make a mad dash over the ice in Holmes Field to Sparks. ißy the time you get there you can usually catch the prof’s assign ment at the end of the period. That is, if you’re lucky. If not, you have to smile as you stand there and explain with -your stringy hair in your eyes that you had swimming the period before. The head cold you come down with the day after isn’t so hard to get rid of. You have a week to do it in, and then the vicious cycle starts all over. again. Pass me a kleenex, please.
