ctivities to the lunch counter. They are like a pack of hungry racing wolves and it is just too bad for anyone who happens to be in the way. First to reach the cafeteria are the pupils in the study hall who usually buy the choicest of the choice. The poor unfortunate have to be content to struggle and weave their way past Mr. Locke to attain their comida. I guess by now you think we are a bunch of silly kids with- out a brain in our heads, but you are mistaken. We can be quite sensible and dignified when we put our minds to it. We don’t always come to class with our lessons unprepared ; in fact, most of the time we do know them. A good many of these students are capable of solving extremely difficult problems accurately and efficiently. Most of us appreciate the classics even though on the surface we do not always show it. You can see this by visit- ing an English class. We read the works of Chaucer, Shake- speare, and other great writers and understand them. During class discussions we talk about current world affairs. Some even have plans all figured out for the post-war world. We realize we have to play an important part in the world of tomorrow. ‘Therefore, we are studying and working in order that we may take our place along with the others in building a new and better world.

Studer Gia. iA) Let us take a look at the classés in action in Mansfield High School. As we enter the building in the early morn- ing we see practically all of the boys (that is the ones that get here on time) congregated around the bulletin board; what they find so interesting there I cannot tell you. When the bell rings for the first period we see the students passing to their classes. Some of them are slyly passing notes to one another, and of course you almost always see a boy and girl talking and then making a mad dash down the hall to get to class before the bell rings. After everyone gets to class we have the problem of getting down to work. ‘There is always someone who has to sharpen his pencil (it’s usually the same one each day), or he has left his book or paper behind and simply must go after it. After we get him settled we are ready for work until our inquisitive student thinks of some questions to ask (which at times are absolutely fantastic) to get the teacher off on another subject. He is very helpful when half the class hasn’t prepared its homework. When it gets near lunch time we see the students begin- ning to pack their books up in preparation for the daily race Making HFtistory! Yeah, man! —
