lugod Aw A Bbzb In Sclutoi Academia, of course, is NUMBER ONE. But who could survive the possibility of a BURNED OUT BRAIN without the FLAMES and the fun! Many Ingots bottle up school pressure all day long, and in one mighty BLAST et it all out as soon as the final bell rings. There are a variety of ways INGOTS choose to avoid BLAST OFF. GUYS take the HEAT off their BURNING BRAINS by run- ning to the gym as the lunch bell rings! Others SIMMER until Pep Session time where they release the tension accumulated from long hours spent studying, by shouting with all their might as they compete in class competi- tion. The most popular way of avoiding BLAST OFF is sitting with a group of friends talking about the latest gossip. Whether in school or out, INGOTS find some kind of relief, so they can continue to IGNITE their brains with the FIRE of knowledge!!! TOP: A group of Ingots pitch in to deco- rate!!
