 SKOOL DAZE
 
  In the role of our hero Eric (or any other name you decide to call him and
 the rest of the cast), you know that inside the staffroom safe are kept the
 school reports. And, being Eric, you realize that you must at all costs 
 remove your report before it comes to the attension of the Headmaster.
 
  The combination to the safe consists of four letters, each master knowing
 one letter and the Headmaster's letter always coming first. To get hold of
 the combination, you first have to hit all the shields hanging on the
 schools walls. Trouble is, this isn't as easy as it looks. Some of them
 can be hit by jumping up. Others are more difficult. You could try to hit
 a shield by bouncing a pellet off a masters head whilst he is sitting on the 
 ground. Or, being Eric, you may decide to knock over one of the boys and, 
 whilst he's flattened, clamber up on him so that you can jump higher.
 
  O.K so all the shields are flashing wildly, disorientating the poor 
 masters. Knock them over now and, before they can stop themselves, they'll
 reveal their letter of the code. All except for the history master, 
 of course, who because of his great age and poor eyesight can't be trusted
 to remember. His letter has been implanted into his mind hypnotically.
 To make him reveal it, you must first find out the year he was born (which,
 in case you are wondering, changes each game). Then, creep into a room 
 before he gets there and, if the board is clean, write it on the blackboard.
 When he goes into that room and sees his birthdate he will, as if by 
 post-hypnotic suggestion, give away his letter.
 
  Now that you know all the letters of the combination, all you have to do is
 work out which order they go in. You know that the Headmaster's letter is
 always first, but as for the other three... you'll just have to try the
 various possibilities. Find a clean blackboard and write out a combination.
 
  Rush back to the staffroom and jump up to reach the safe with your hand.
 If nothing happens, then the combination must be wrong, so you'd better find
 another clean blackboard and try a different one.
 
  With the safe open, your troubles still aren't over, as the flashing 
 shields are rather a giveaway. To stop them flashing, you now have to hit
 all of them again.
 
  Done it? Congratulations! You are now allowed, along with all your friends, 
 to move on to the next class at school. But remember, there will be reports
 at the end of this term....
 
 
 SCHOOL RULES
 
  Boys shall attend lessons as shown in the timetable at the bottom of the

 always go to the same lessons as the swot.)
 
  Boys do not score points by attending lessons, but may be given lines if
 caught in the wrong place.
 
  Boys who acquire over 10,000 lines shall be expelled immediately from the
 school.
