Another pep rally . . . l 'You Are Contrary to popular belief, Stu-dents exist only from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. However, the Student does not retire to the Twilight Zone when not in school. Nothing so drastic, he merely undergoes a small yet important transition, so routine that he may not even sense its happening. The Student becomes an Individual. Another pep rallydraws to a close.

Devoted Sixth Formers sing the Alma Mater with misty eyes and fond memories, while underclassmen squint at the lyrics as inconspicuously as possible. After this weekly show of school spirit, the entire student body lunges for the fieldhouse doors. Outside the doors, the Student Clet's call him All strips himself of his form classification, grade point average, and ADA number. For two full days, he has no pre-shaped veneer status to live up to. individuality returns. Exuberant over his 48-hour freedom, Al walks the seven blocks to his car with minimal objection from the blisters that came with the Earth Shoes on which he blew last week's paycheck. fThis week's check is already spent on gas and tickets to Rod Stewart's concertj His car is of the citrus variety, the exterior being poor of bodyand spirit, but the interior-well . . .

Al's back seat houses a mammoth collection of empty Nl 81 lVl's boxes Qsold by the Drama Clubb, three-day candles Ccourtesy of the A Capella Choirh, draught beer-scented stationery fsold by the German Clubl, and last year's CARDINAL WORD Cpeddled by Allen Vanl3larcumD.

A Once in his room and under the influence of a quadrophonic sound system, Al ponders the coming weekend's agenda . . . only one football game, a concert, two soccer games, a book report for World History, the Student Parliament car- wash-bake-sale-garage-sale, a bushel of logarithms to interpolate for Algebra, a college entrance exam, the church choir musical, and something else. What is it? Oh yes, his job at Burger Circus! Already 10 minutes late, AI zips into his crisp white uniform Ccomplete with a little red bow tiej and dashes to the Circus, searching his brain for an original excuse. Al's boss is the Model Employer of the Year, the type whose motto is Free Time is Work Time. Once in his room and under the influence of a quadrophonic sound system . . .
