HOURS SPENT IN THE STUDENTS' WORLD To us who lived the student's life, it was a world full of fun and laughter, yet exploding with problems. Our days were filled with a non-stop schedule of classes and activities. From the time we reached school in the morning until our last class had ended in the afternoon, we had little time for anything except studying. Several activites provided a little relaxation for us from our busy schedule. And always there were the "few minutes" between classes that served as a life saver with a quick bite of candy of a gulp of water. Monday through Friday were the uncertain days; what would take place within these hours sometimes led us to experience much anxiety and exasperation. Oh! those minutes when the English book was missing and the last bell had rung. And what would be the excuse for not having the Latin assignment done again? aAways there was that dreadful phrase "pop quiz" this hour. Yes, these and others were the things that caused us moments of panic. Even through all the distress, the happy times -- times that won't be forgotten -- came seeping through.

As the hours of the morning draffed by, each class seemed longer than the one preceding it. Some students tried to hasten the hours along by dwelling languidly at their lockers with the excuse of a forgotten textbook. Meanwhile, more lenthy assignments were made; unfortunately no homework was avoided. With delightful aromas floating up from the Home Ed. room, we could hardly have forgotten that soom it would be time for lunch.

Oh, the times after school and in the evenings! these times were filled with dancing to the music that we loved so well and gathering at the drive-ins afterwards for something to revive us. And then the fated words, "Well -- just one more time down Sixth!". As we rounded the corner to our houses, we realized that another day in our lives was gone; but as the wee hours broke into the new day, our anxieties and our expectations for tomorrow gegan.   A few seniors get together for an evening of study and relaxation at Martha Fowler's home.
