Her* It Ufoilw, all the answers you've been searching for! The secrets of life! Well, okay, only the secrete of life at S&M. But stfll, they are pretty useful.

I hope this guide comes in handy for all who find themselves lost in the savage jungles of S&M. While I can't assure yon that this hook will get you oat of any .mess that you might encounter, it might make life slightly simpler. All of the insider info was supplied by students who had to learn it the heard way, so you wouldn't have to.

Thanks go to the Class of 1993 who donated their wisdom to this guide, particularly Beth Glenn.
