. . .So Does the Homework Besides leaves other things also pile up in the autumn-other things like home- work. After a summer's vacation school begins, and the grind starts all over again for another nine and one-half months. For the first few weeks we find it hard to get back into the swing of things. Then the fall sports start which take up many stu- dent's after school hours. Also we begin to notice larger and more timely homework assignments. We really find we're in the swing of things when there just doesn't seem to be enough time to do everything. Studying can take up a lot of our after school hours. One way to lengthen those precious hours is to make the most of our opportunities to study during school. Fortunately most ot' us do have study halls in which we can do some of our assignments. Here Bryan Car- penter does a little research during his study hall in the hopes of finishing his work, so he will have more time for other activities.

As the Leaves Pile Up. . . i Again the autumn season rolls around leaving the trees bare, but by no m'eans does it leave the ground bare. Whatever is in the trees including many branches, a few birds nests, and invariably that old tennis shoe you lost last summer is found somewhere on the lawn. After everything is neatly settled on the ground, someone has to clean them up, and it's usually you. Soon the smell of leaves burning fills the air and tempts us from our other work to get out and shuffle through the leaves and perhaps even resort to raking them up. Coming in with a burst of color, autumn leaves behind its remnants of a gay summer. It's hard to tell what these three are up to. It seems that they are trying to decide whether it's wise to go home or not because of all the yard work that lies there waiting for them. However, Beth Koenig decides it's better to get it over with. Bob Bihler and Bill Stephenson also seem to agree. Later we may have found them lost in their efforts to clear up the piles of lieaves.

When the Bell Rings . . . We're Off! Whether it be the class dismissal bell, lunch bell, or final dismissal bell, it means only one thing to many of us - a chance to relax with our friends for a few minutes. For the teachers, there seems to he no stopping the rush for the door as the bell rings. Once in the halls, we begin the mad race against time to do all those little things like going to our lockers, getting assignments, or just talking with someone be- fore the next class. The pace quickens remarkably when the first lunch bell rings at 11:4-8. It seems that some of our school track records are broken as we hurry to get a lunch, eat, and maybe take in a movie at the little theater. Beyond a doubt, the bell which is most welcomed is the one at 3:40. Within a matter of minutes, the once bustling building looks like a ghost town.
