fl in The typical picture of a Governor Dummer student during past winters has been a somber male looking down resignedly at his untied shoe- Iaces while slogging through the slush on the way to his second period chemistry class. Naturally he had neglected his homework the previous night. This year was different. Of course -there were girls. On the weekends Stu watched the hockey game while viciously decrying those spiteful creatures responsible for his ensconce- ment in such a dull and dreary place. Snow was eagerly anticipated, but met with pitiful whim- pering when it indeed arrived. Worrying about homework usurped much of Stuey's time. ac- tually doing it relatively little. He came to develop a good sense of rhythm and harmony during his incessant hummings of the Wisconsin Blues. This year however, Stuey mysteriously changed. His loud boisterous antics in the dormi- tory continued to provide an outlet for frustrated energy, and perhaps he even manage to incur some acceptable punishment for an unaccept- able outlet.

Evidently many other students did likewise. as fifty-nine other individuals joined Stuey on the honor roll. Recurring flubug epidemics provided topics for conversation and consternation. College boards and Achievements did the same. draining stu- dents this time of their mental capacities. Too bad chemistry class was first period instead of second. 88 l i
