- The Cover — The breathless tension at a rocket-launching base just before a blast-off can’t be much worse than the mass trance prevailing at this seat of learning. Even Miss Teacher, who will blast off soon, seems not unhopeful that that roll of masking tape will function successfully as the last stage of the lad’s what-is-it. At least the goldfish seem relaxed; evidently they are convinced that the boy doesn’t plan to place the fishbowl on top of the masking tape. Johnny Genius, whom artist John Falter has the temerity to call well-balanced boy, doubtless faces a bright future in physics or architecture or tightrope walking. As for his uncertain present, will he, whatever happens, have the presence of mind to give both apples to his dear teacher with haste and affection?
