In fact, the thought occurs that it tnight even be good practice for an architect to sit down ,and write a little something besides specifications and past-due check .

Although he hasn't been to the library lately, he has a vague remembrance of going to the library once ... to get a drink of water. John Charles Bancroft, as does everyone else, hopes to get a job just as soon as that coveted sheepskin is placed in his right hand. Though he has no hobby in the true sense of the word, he enjoys a good game of golf im- mensely. He is not married, but admits he has a girl whose little heart he sets a-twitter. As a favorite recrea- tion, "Johnny" prefers to sleep, which is surely nothing against him. The pleasure he gets from Math classes is above the average person's comprehension, and, typical of all seniors, he never goes to the library.
