THE SCHOOL DA Y, with the stress on the importance of education, not only for the knowledge it brings, but because it helps to provide a purpose in life, is becoming increasingly challenging to students. Ninety per cent of a student’s time is spent in the classroom. This important, serious, and sometimes wearing aspect of school life has, too, its light-hearted moments. All these are reflected in the last anxious moments spent studying for a test — and the relief of learning it’s been postponed ... a teacher’s exasperaton over those same two boys whisper¬ ing the hack row . . . the last startling SLAM of lockers as students hurry to class after the bell has rung . . . the teachers ' coffee klatch in the library office during the break . . . stay¬ ing after the assembly to question a guest speaker . . . “discussions ’ of current events in social science classes . . . band members spending the day practicing with a guest con¬ ductor . . . and those important aptitude tests and college visitations for college-bound seniors. dsb
