Physical education for everyone! A time for stretching that muscle! After the hour of exercise, intramurals for the day students, everyone was free until 5:00. In early spring and autumn, all of the football candidates could be seen sprinting, the length of the football field or performing some other muscle- stretching drill. Basketball practice in the gymnasium occupied this period during the winter months. The majority of the students, however, contented them- selves with a wide variety of intramural games. When the sound of the study hall bell sounded over the campus, the fun for the afternoon was over . . . study time from 5:00 to 6:00. This was the period in which the boarding students read or wrote letters or visited the library or stayed at their desks for study.

At 7:30 every nose was counted in the study hall and we settled down to serious study. An hour and a half of mental exercise usually thoroughly ex- hausted everyone so that there was usually anticipa- tion in the preparations for bed. Finally, everyone had been tucked in and the weary prefect relaxed. On Saturdays and Sundays, the most looked for days, the schedule for the boarding students was re- laxed. The day students were busy at home according to the parental devises. For the boarding students the mornings were filled with extra-curricular ac- tivities. Town permissions were given to those who were not otherwise campus bound. Every Saturday and Sunday we sang for Benediction and on alter- nate Sundays we sang for the students' Mass, and en- joyed the Missa Recitata. There were lots of things, too, which we did that interrupted the routine somewhat but not too fre- quently. Athletic conterts, plays, publications, band concerts, club meetings, blowouts all helped fill out the days to the bursting point. But they were days to be enjoyed, nights to be slumberfully blissful. Choir Chapel fourteen
