...variety of liquors, too many cigarettes smouldering in ashtrays, and too much gaiety. It is a desperate gaiety; this party has to be better, livelier, than last night's because this is a bigger night; and last night's had to surpass the one before, and so on. Somehow, everything is wrong. Somehow, the excellent orchestra is too loud, too fast. Somehow, the floor is too crowded, the decorations too garishly bizarre...

No bus crash had ever cost so much life; the last biggest at Salem, Ill., March, 1937, took 20 lives. Utah's Public Service Commission, painfully aware of the danger that lay athwart the State's other 2,054 unprotected grade crossings, sought jurisdiction over all the State's school buses, planned to delegate to one older student in each bus the job of flagging...
