After he went over the school rules, Mr. Math Martinet handed out a schedule and a map of the school to everyone.

As soon as the students’ schedules were in their hands, pandemonium broke out as everyone tried to see who was in their classes.

DOL 33
The intrepid six compared notes and found that they shared some of the same classes: math, English, and science.  Pauline, Isabelle, Jesse, William, and Felicia had art with Ms. Amicable Artist and the other two had music with Mr. Melodious Music.
