Really tough finding an original shot GfoM With electrical precision the bells rang at ten minutes after the hour, and you had to be there, whether the class was at 7 a.m. while most people were having breakfast, at the noon hour, or on Saturday morning when the campus slept. You took notes or doodled or participated in a glorified bull session directed by the professor. Sometimes you relaxed, after each class ended, when the day ' s last class was over, and especially when the welcome weekend rolled around. And invariably you looked forward to the vacations. You knew it was a false relief — you still had work to be done. But the pressure was gone, class was over. Check, double check First aid, first hand

More interesting, easier reading than homework Studies You often had the courage and determination, especially when you came back to campus last fall. This was a three- point year. So you wisely confined your extra-curricular activ- ities, and still the dates, bull sessions, and movies chipped away your hours. But at times the determination came back — before a big test. You were determined to study, determined to ace the test the next day. You wondered why you never did get around to hitting the books until the night before. Then, with thoughts of how hard you would study, with thoughts of working late into the night and of the high grade you would get, you strode down the brick walks to the library. It took courage to read some of the textbooks, when you had to read a page sixteen times before you realized its import. And maybe you mused over whether the book ' s diffi- culty was what attracted the faculty to it. A brave smile, a determined stare.
