Holy Black and White Contact Sheet, Batman!
On my second day in the darkroom, they taught us how to make contact sheets. They aren't meant to be pretty (so I haven't bothered to retouch this one), just to give you an idea of which pictures are worth printing and which might need to be burned (more light) or dodged (less light) in some areas and which are just so bad they aren't even worth a test strip (for example the middle one in the bottom row in the above contact sheet).
Personally, I find contact sheets fascinating. They are like a micro view into the thought process of the photographer. You can see each shot in the order that they were shot. You can see how the photographer played with the subject. And you can see the bad along side the good.
