5? 9' Five clciys hath ca week. Black Monday. Black and moody, angry. Headaches Sight of classroom objectives are lost in the fog of dreams. Rain and snow in May on a Monday. Typewriters break, splinters pop up, Bic pens fail to write and Bears are beaten. All typical on the first day of the week. Mondays ought to be outlawed. But then we wouIdn't have had Christmas or New Year's. Gray Tuesday. A day when a body needs to be with friends. Tuesday is no day to be alone. The company of pencils, pens and people is kept. A bad time to brood, is Tuesday. Thanksgiving. A sort-of, half-way day. Headaches are becoming less noticeable, and anticipation is becoming evident. A time to watch and to be watched lest we loose the ties that bind, and forget where and who we are. The turning point. Wednesday. Thursday has arrived, but people are oblivious of this fact. Teachers find it increasingly difficult to attract the attention of their students, though moments of seclusion and study are yet within grasp. But Friday draws ever nearer, and the task becomes ever difficult. The world knows not that today is Thursday, but that tomorrow is Friday, last day of the week. Crystal magic, sunshine. Work is absent on this day lat least in the greatful minds of those who attendl . Secret whispers and bad jokes, the world is laughing. Even the Friday Fish are grinning. What more need one say, than THANK GOODN ESS, lT'S FRIDAY. The moods of the week are, in truth, the moods of the people. And the moods of the people are, in truth, the moods of Northside. In knowing and feeling this truth, the people, and Northside, survive. 4- can wiksrrom. A Teresa Smith and Cecilia Spradlin.

The work' th thing. Letting pupils work.together on various projects on class time, letting them experience the joy of teaching iwhile keeping the others interestedl, and trying to hypnotize students with their Burnsing eyes were just a few of the devices employed by teachers this year in making class appealing to students. Com- positions to write, problems to work, letters to type, copy to proofread, exercises to do and selections to read were assigned to stimulate minds and promote interest. Even with all this to do, some students occasionally wood break a rule , causing teachers to take Harsh measures. + Robert Peel, Geometry, V Miss Susan Clark, Senior English.
