During school one could walk through the halls and notice various ail- ments. Each class seemed to have a specific sickness caught only by them. Freshmen found out the first day of school that upperclassmen had difficul- ty seeing them. Freshmen's toes were stepped on; they were ran into the walls, pushed out of lunch line, and the carpet did the most damage causing many freshmen to kiss the feet of an upper classmen. Black eyes from a non-too- soft brick wall, a sore butt from being pushed away from dinner, and the ail- ment all freshmen experienced once, fat lips from kissing feet, made them the sickest class at Alta. A sophomore could be told by the way the body was held. Shoulders back, chest stuck out and the noses straight in the air, identified one immediately. Unfortunately, in this position one could not see where he was going and ended up running into any obstacle ahead. Scraped and bloody noses were the re- sult. Why were sophomores noses stuck in the air? They were now, they thought, upperclassmen. Juniors turned sixteen this year and discovered dating. The 11:30 curfew leveled by parents, was forgotten by ju- niors. Mom and dad didn't forget and would wait up for him. When he arrived dad would shake him like a rag. Many juniors parents tried strangulation, but stopped when his eyes started bugging out. To hide parents’ fingermarks and the beauty marks acquired on the date, turtlenecks were worn all year around. Tired eyes, splitting fingernails and thin hair belonged to the Senior class. Seniors having played around for three years with their grades, came face to face with pass or no graduation. Late night cramming became common to many as did large dark bags under their eyes. Fingernails were chewed to the quick waiting for the graduation list to be posted. Hair was pulled out when their name did not appear. The most common ailment in school, pertained only to boys. Sore aching muscles was one sympton of the •‘STUD SYNDROME.” This ailment hit the boys that leaned up against the walls before school and during lunches. While leaning against the wall, muscles were flexed and the breath held to give a MACHO effect. Words were not possible so a small snort was the only acknowl- edgement a passing friend would re- ceive. People who have experienced the above-mentioned symptoms have been diagnosed by professional doctors as having acute-school-ailmentitis. Treat- ment: a speedy graduation. A free floss for Lisa Childs helps alleviate some of her boredom and illnesses pertaining to school or otherwise. Although school can be strenuous, the day of the Health Fair brought a healthy change for teachers and students alike. 168 • Sophomores

For some though, registration merely marked the beginning of another term of school work. This summer instead of fun- in-the-sun, over one-hundred students had work-in-the-classroom, at the University of Utah Summer Enrichment Program. A number of juniors and a few excep- tional sophomores took part in the pro- gram that offered college and high school credit. John Bosner from the U. of U. High School Extension Services said, There was an offering of 5 - 16 hours of classes this summer.” High school students regis- tered and operated as would a college stu- dent in summer quarter. Mr. Brosner noted that, Graduating juniors with exceptional grade point averages were accepted to the program. Openings for sophomores through the selection process were much tougher.” Student reactions were mixed; most all were pleased with the experience; others, not sure. Junior Natalie Clayton, entering the Summer Program supported by a Na tional Science Foundation Scholarship, re- marked that, It was not the most enjoy- “When all your friends are going to see a late movie and you have an 8:30 a m. class: I couldn't leave. I had to stay home from Lake Powell , said Natalie Clayton, a junior who participated in the Summer Enrichment program at the University of Utah. able, but it was the most productive sum- mer I ever had. The effects of the Summer Enrichment Program on future high school habits were also varied. Jana Gygi was asked about the relationship between her summer study and high school studies this year; she re- sponded, The experience made me realize the effects my study habits have on my grades and what I learn in high school. Now this doesn’t mean I’m studying; I just realize the connection now. While for many students the Universi- ty’s Enrichment Program provided ad- vanced studie in varied fields, some felt much less appreciative toward the exper ience. Senior Jon Berner reflected on his experience: The program gave me insight as to what college would be like. But it wasn't all that positive of an experience. I was burned out a lot sooner on schoolwork this year in high school because of all the university work that took up my summer. I’m sure I would have been burned out eventually this year, but it seems to be happening a lot faster.” The Enrichment program for extra high schoolers is showing a increase in enrollment and the trend is expected to continue. No doubt most high schoolers will continue their sacred fun-in-the-sun” activities during the summer, but a few will choose to begin with college life before graduation, even if it means sacrificing those great summer months.
