At last the day had arrived. The turkey was stuffed, the gravy was simmering, and the seven hours of basting were finished. Mom took the turkey out of the oven and set it lovingly on the counter. In keeping with tradition, Grandpa would do the honors. He studied the bird with a cool, keen eye. He then donned his apron, and, with a few deft strokes, sharpened his knife. The rela- tives looked on with great anticipation as he cut the first slice. With precision and finesse he carved the holiday bird, oblivious to the shouts of I want white meat, I want dark meat, I want the drumstick!

Ma, I've got afever. . .astomachache . . .a headache. . .acold sore. . .would you believe a runny nose? Everyone is familiar with the various forms in which the illness manifests itselfg there is the 24 - hours - to - write - a - paper syndrome, the Oh - my - God! - I've - got - a - biology -final - tomor- row, and the favorite of all, the I - think - I'II - stay - home - and - watch - every - game - show - and - soap - opera - instead - of - sitting - in - class - today. When the disease oc- curs as often as once a week, it is deemed chron- ic or terminal and is usually associated with the word truant. Of course, the chronic patient ration- alizes that he cannot live without his soaps or his game shows, but then again, try explaining that to a doctor or even worse, to a teacher. From the teacher's standpoint, the best cure for this dreaded illness is what's known in the medical field as the breakfast club, at which the recuperating student is fed a hearty and well- balanced diet of admoni- tions and solemn stares. If the student weathers this treatment, an often drawn- out procedure that length- ens as the disease pro- gresses, he may then re- turn to class without fear of infecting others. Home- sick is, however, here to stay, and heaven help any doctor or teacher who searches tor a cure. STUDENT LIFEXQ5

Your excitement is worked into a frenzy as the shrill screams ol brave riders momentarily pierce the air and then tade into oblivion. lt's your turn. You tremble as you take your seat upon the vehicle ol late. There's no turning back. The motor hums devilishly. Trapped, you climb up, up, only to be hurtled earthward. You tighten your grip, close your eyes, and pray lor the end. Repeatedly thrown upward and pulled violently back to the ground, you wonder when it will end. You can't hold on much longer. Ahl Finallyl The motor grinds to a halt. Victory! You emerge exultant, radiating with pride. You knew you could do it. You rush to tell your friends.
